    Long Run Most lose. House gets you one way or another. Entertainment purposes with disposable income is the way to go imo. GL.

        There absolutely are. And the people that win know they are going to win. If you're one of those people, you'll know it.

            Plus the ones who do win won't really talk about it on the internet.

              I'm a profitable player long term including bonus whoring and such. Now whether or not the time invested/effot justifies the amount won is a whole different story.

                There are several documented winners (over the long run) here on SBR. Most of them are dedicated to a single sport. Most of them have a good following and keep season long threads.

                For example, I've won 58% of my bets over last 3 ncaa basketball seasons. I watch and read preseason and high school recruiting, document every bet, try to write a little analysis, watch for reverse line moves, and bet the same amount on every game. It takes a lot of discipline.

                Meanwhile, in NFL I bet wrecklessly & go on streaks and probably break even or lose overall every damn season.

                  Depeche2 is in the minority. Betcha it's less than 5% of posters making money in the extreme long term.

                              Even with a big bankroll time invested/effort does not justify the amount won these days. Books are to smart. Bonuses are worth next to nothing now.

                                  Just like your handicapping your wrong again coach.

                                  If i hadn't been lucky in some parlays your estimate would be in the ball park.
