First off, think of being a SUCCESSFUL sports gambler the same as an NBA or NFL athelete. Laugh all you want but it's the same deal. You need SKILL to actually win, then you need to MANAGE your money, and CONTROL your emotions. NFL and NBA players, the black ones, sorry but true, usually are broke at the end of each year because even thou they are good at what they do, they blow their money, and do not manage it well. Most good gamblers do the same. They build a big bankroll, then they think this will last forever, and they buy a new big screen tv, upgrade the pad, buy some new clothing, start eating out every night, and then, they hit a patch of bad variance and their broke. So they wd their winnings and double, triple their bets, and they lose even more and its back to square one. The key here is if you can pick 55-60%, NOW comes the NEXT STEP. It does NOT end there. CONTROL your emotions, DONT SPLURGE, increase your unit size and maintain your system THAT WORKS. MANAGE your money and bankroll properly, take a bit out of the winnings each week, and sure treat yourself, but remember if you want to do this for life, you have no idea the money you really need to spend when you hit 30 and have to pay for a house, car, kids, etc... your young so you don't need much money, but by the time you get older, you have to have everything working by then because IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO MASTER DISCIPLINE and PATIENCE and learn HOW TO WIN. It took me 5 years to just learn how to control my emotions and not chase, or take longshots. It took lots of long hours every day actually doing work. When you win you think you can just start making picks in 5 min and not bother to cap anymore. You have to put in EFFORT every night. The moment you get lazy, you miss that key injury because the guy slipped off the bus at the arena and is a no go or took a ball to the eye in the warmup. 3-4 hours of work a day, + constantly reminding yourself of the cardinal rules, and MAINTAINING your composure and control over your bankroll and emotions. It can be done, but it REQUIRES JUST AS MUCH WORK AS ANY OTHER JOB. DONT BE LAZY.
