What Defines Recreational Better vs Pro Better?

[QuangX]

I will assume recreational meaning that you are a prone loser, while Pro better are a prone winner?

I'm confused.

Take a look at jjgold's spreadsheet. A pure example of a Pro Better.

Receational plays for the buzz pro play to make money

[GunShard]

The Recreational bettor bets on every single sports because they are bored and want action, they are addicted to gambling, emotional and cannot stop.

The Pro bettor spot bets and bets on sports they understand well, who is willing to skip games that has no advantage to capping. Understands money management and kelly criterion. Who never chases their losses. Fades the public. Who avoids betting on the reasons of they are bored and want action.

Quang it's like anything else.

Professional musician, professional athlete, professional bettor, etc.

Are you living off of it? Then you're a pro

[jjgold]

Most pro bettors will bet any sport if they find a week off market number

Recreational gamblers don't care if they win or lose and just do it for fun and not an occupation

[jtoler]

A pro bettor perhaps should be able to sustain a healthy living solely from gambling profits.

In poker, a pro is simply someone who plays poker for a living. That doesn't necessarily mean they're good at it

this is SO HARD to stick to tho... once you do though, that's when can take $100 and build it to 10k

Mind you, I dont agree with this definition. A pro bettor to me is based on knowledge of the craft. Its an elevated and or mastery of the knowledge of whatever particular lane of gambling that that he or she chooses to participate in.
