    How'd it go?

    I tailed some guy on a tennis game in Sweden when I was hot a few weeks ago. Tennis!?
    I've watched Woody Allen's Match Point. That's it!

    i don't even kno who won the match!


    never again.

      I know this.

      this particular wager, felt like a crash course on tennis. sports betting intrigues me because there's a 50% chance to win. It usually comes up to the willpower of the athlete. tennis was interesting cause there's only 2 contestants.

      *shrug* it was only 20 bucks.

        there is a 50% chance to win but the problem is the stupid fckn vig lol ... people think of going 1-1 being even but when ur betting thousands a night and going 2-2 ... ur eventually adding up the losses even if the record doesnt show

        i bet on almost everything except soccer .. cant get that shit


        even play boxing and mma sometimes .. love that shit

          yes, the vig is like a tax. unless i have tens of thousands to back it up...i'm not betting thousands a night. i'm stingy with my money.

          no more clueless sports. it's so degenerate.

          i know soccer pretty well. my father played professionally in south america.
          colombia's recent run for the world cup made me decent profit on bovada.

          i'm learning everything i can about mma and have played boxing before. nothing like action on a fight.

          anyway, good luck. thanks for the replies

                Betting on a sport you know nothing about is similar to betting on an NFL game where you know every player.

                Same thing.

                  golf's kind of different cause of the national exposure.
                  i see some people blindly tail on a soccer league across the world...
                  not the greatest course of action.

                    I have bet darts several times before. There was a guy who won all the time and was the champion so I bet on him. During the last couple summer Olympics I bet badminton and table tennis like crazy. I just always bet the Asians and won every fukkin time.
