2005....Year before I started

[VegasInsider]

The year the Patriots went 16-0 (whichever year that was)

I took the Pats and Over almost every week and cleaned up. Luckily, laid off the Super Bowl on a hunch

Ironically hit my single biggest play ever on Giants ML in that Superbowl.....Won a poker tourney a few days before online and but a lot of the winnings on the Giants ML and Spread

Pats Overs were unreal that year too I remember

[ksnooksk]

Anyone recall off hand what the Pats were ats that year?

[Tmuston Beltics]

2011 I think

[Jago2008]

This year has been the first time I started taking gambling or "investing" seriously- in whatever way you'd like to phrase it, previously it was just a nice supplemental income/hobby. I have had a much better R.O.I. than the stock market could ever offer which is around 10-20% (unless you're an insider), and it's been more fun.

Glad u quit pimpin though seaweed. Streeta damn cold up there in canada. Plus their anti pimpin laws downright draconian. U may of had big cash then man but it was whore money.

Vividjohn, it is so cold. I stay indoor until the begining of April, usually when the Masters are on.

My biggest year was 2008... hit a 10-team college football parlay (8 teams were money line)... $100 turned into over $10,500... bankrolled my season and i ended up around $80,000. Been chasing that year ever since.

[VegasInsider]

Anyone recall off hand what the Pats were ats that year?

Pats ended up 10-6 ATS but started 8-1 ATS. 11-5 Overs and started 10-2 Overs.

Total dominant performance to start the season. I can remember that after making SO much money that the spreads and totals became so unattainable that it was time back off to normal wagers. I was more than happy to give a slice back after the first 2.5 months.

They covered the follow early:

-16.5 vs Buffalo
-16 vs Cleveland
-15.5 @ Miami
-14.5 vs Washington
-15.5 @ Buffalo

After the Buffalo game in Week 11, the speada the rest of the year were -24, -18, -10.5, -20.5, -22 and -13

[VegasInsider]

I made A LOT of money my senior year of college that year. Wish I didn't blow it all on booze, parties and blow

2012. This actuAlly wasn't my biggest profit year but it was a fun roller coaster. Won over 40,000 playing 5/10 and 5/10/25NLHE. Then had about a 30,000 downswing followed by another 25k upswing. This 5/10/25 played more like a 50/100 since most were straddling for 50-75 continuously. Wasn't hard to loose say 15,000 in a week if you had a couple bad sessions. At the end of the year I was up around 5k.

Since then I've regressed to playing 2/5 and 5/10 NL where on a yearly basis I'm +\- 10k. 2012 was a fun one haven't had that much variance lately.

2003

won 11 ladyboys playing blackjack in Thailand

Congrats

[Sam Odom]

1992... Very good year for Sammy

[greenhippo]

That's a lot of ladyboys.

[jjgold]

Maybe 15 years ago probably up about 45,000

After that lost every year or even a few

If you lose two grand or less basically breaking even

Lifetime probably down about 300,000

[OILGUY16]

1999
i had a great run on high limit slots ($10,$20,$50,$100)
biggest one time hit was 20k on a $10
won 3 or 4 10k hits
total tax forms for the year was 110k which I paid about 4k in taxes
I since then moved from there, and have not had a winning year since

[Vitothecapper]

1988 was awesome.....I learned a lot about how to make money betting.Pounding the OTB in Conn and BM's who took harness tracks.

Hit a 3 horse win Round Robin and the shortest price was $12.80.

Followed the best in baseball for a few years after that..

So you're finally admitting you've never won at this?

Good stuff. Honesty is the best policy Seaweed. Good to come clean.

Now the next step is to learn how to win.
