        It's a scary thought. The problem is people who don't put their money where their mouth is.

        I've said it before, I don't care what your betsize is - it's irrelevant, only thing that matters is that you are backing up your opinions with cold hard cash.

          Lol I'm just asking cause you see posters constantly posting picks with no odds...no amount....just the pick and if we're lucky, some reasons.
          I sense most of them do it for some kind of Internet glory.

            Definitely, but also comparatively, I've throw 12.73 down on a game just so I can say I won and piss someone off, if a typical bet is $100-200, $8 is irrelevant.

            But again, that's asking a lot for this crowd

                I can guarantee that I am betting thousands weekly. Even more in baseball season, but overall the number is probably around 40%

                  You're wasting energy even pondering this when you could be picking winners. Some people just come here for fun, as a hobby, and don't any skin in the game. Some posters wager 10s of thousands and you never hear a peep from them.

                  It's all irrelevant unless you actually come to SBR to have picks given to you. In that case, godspeed.

                        Who knows but the number should be 100%.

                        Even more sad are the SBR pros that aren't betting real money

                          Its a multi billion dollar industry kid, dont u see how offshore books advertise on tv/soccer players jersey, sponsor pro sports and how sbr is so giving with points system w/o worrying about not making profit on posters. if u think people just waste time trolling here and havent lost thousands u must be kidding urself.

                                  I am not. Gambling offshore is such a pain in the ass.

                                    Those that do bet are more likely to imagine everyone else does too.

                                    The guys so sure hardly anyone bets real money are obviously part of that group.

                                      I think it's higher than what people think. If it's less than 80% I'd be surprised. I can't see guys posting in a gambling forum if they aren't betting themselves because that would be the biggest waste of time ever.

                                          there are better forums out there for people that don't bet and want to talk sports, entertainment, etc

                                          i can't imagine why someone that doesn't gamble would hang out here, unless they were being paid to

                                                This isn't even hard it is about 1 of every 3 bet. 33%. 90% love sports and like to come and see/talk sports. 10% are broke dik fuks who look for handouts on a gambling forum.


                                                Some where in that 100% are the 5% who come on just to bash posters for no reason (mostly non-pros)

                                                    I sense most of them do it for some kind of Internet glory.
                                                    How can you possibly post a pick with no odds?

                                                    I know most posters on here dont bet with real money. Once you have been around here long enough you know the deal. You know what posters know what the fukk they are talking about and which posters are full of shit air bettors
