    ok

    to answer your question....98% of sbr is not pros..most are rec players. Very few are hardcore pros like justin7. Most of these pros hang out at handicapper think tank. Player Talk is where the losers (rec players) hang out. So, you are posting this question in wrong sub-forum.

    Yes. But they are not in US. Its tough to be a pro in US. Thats why people like Fishhead move to vegas.

    If you are seriously interested in becoming a pro...move to canada or europe.

    I have all my friends and family here in the states brah, I don't want to move to Vegas or even worse, out of the country



    I love sports gambling to death though. It's always been my dream to make this my career. If I have to do it as a last resort though, I will move to Vegas

    Nice...must make really great money seeing as sales normally requires you to call people or be in touch with people, but you can find a way to post non stop. Must be killing in the sales.

    Nice.

    Wow, in sales making good money, yet 60-80% of your job is downtime.

    Impressive.

    Like I said, I bet you're making a killing. How much did you start off gambling with again?

    Forget about becoming a pro if you cant even move to vegas. Very tough to win long term in sports betting. Every week books find out about a +EV opportunity and refactor their lines. Its tough to beat them long term and make a living. Very few can survive.

    Most online books will limit you, slow your bets. If you want to bet online and make a living, move to canada or europe. You will find lot of legit shops which wont limit you.

    If you are not willing to move, then forget about becoming a pro...coz its just not worth it with all the hassles that come with staying in the US.

    Oh boy. You do have a lot to learn. I cant even find more than 2 books in US which dont limit you. Anytime you take a payout in the so called "100s of good books", you will be limited instantly....sooner or later it will happen.

    durito...you dont stay in US. Stop encouraging these young wannabes who think they can make a living in sports betting.

    Brahma, I suggest getting a good education and good job. Only about 2% can survive in sports betting. And most of those 2% dont stay in US. The ones that are in US are in vegas. You have to go through lot of hassles to play as a pro long term being in US. Just not worth it. Re-think your priorities and become successful in your sales-job or find a new job you are passionate about.

    50k is for NFL....thats their cash cow. Whats their limits in WNBA, pre-season NFL and MLB?....not more than 5k.

    Bookmaker/DSI are the only remaining good books in US which generally dont limit players.....though they have limited me on certain types of bets. But overall they are the only 2 good books remaining which dont limit you.

    All other books which cater to US players WILL limit you once you start winning...it will happen sooner or later...its just a matter of time.

    what about 5 dimes??? I see people taking out thousands from there all the time




    there's also about another 50 A rated or B rated sportsbooks. You can't tell me all of those are gonna limit me if I'm making a few pennies a month

    5dimes is where all the children play with their lunch money. You will get kicked out by Tony if you win more than 20k there. You will be monitored as soon as you take out your first payout. Besides, just do a search in SBR on 5dimes...you will find plenty of threads where 5dimes has ripped off people.

    it can be done but it would be a severe pain in the ass.

    getting accounts with books closed in the US isnt hard. Winning too much and having them stiff you is a possibility. because even f you complained at SBR there isnt much they could say you were breaking their rules and betting through a bogus account. So the books are on a free roll with you basically.

    Then you add in how books operate. Maximum pay outs which are ridiculously small, fees for everything which are ridiculously large. I wouldnt be surprised that by next year they surcharge every single bet you make like TVG does. So you make a bet they charge you 10-25 cents. frigging ridiculous.

    That doesnt take into account the other shit, clone lines, bad limits, air moves, you name it.

    Until they legalize it in the US and start regulating (which will probably be never unless Vegas has a stranglehold) betting sports to make a living is done. You can maybe do it in vegas as a job that is slightly better than average, where you can look to make 40-50K a year (125 a day or so profit)goofing around. But that is probably the limit. Of course some peopel will claim wise guys and big time bettors can do well, but that is a stretch if you ask me. Because to do well you need a good bookie and most of the good ones are in prison and the new ones that crop up are not the type you would want to be associated with. because these days tattling on people is a sport.

    Dude, you can win pennies for a month, 6 months..maybe a year...eventually you will be limited...as I said....its just a matter of time.

    And dont believe in the ratings which SBR gives...generally the book that pays the max money to SBR gets rated high. Thats the way SBR survives and makes money. The true rating for the best book in US right now i.e Bookmaker should be "B"...you know why..they have 20 cent baseball lines, 1 payout per week, high limits B2B transfers, high fees for payout etc.

    So, the SBR ratings are not something you strictly go along with. The true "A" rated books are Pinnacle and BetFair...the rest shouldnt be more than a "B".
