    Time to Hang em up!!
    4 Months of nothingness

    After putting $1,500 into my bankroll and betting on sports for 4 months, I think its time to raise the white flag. Up and down and up and down is the story of my experience being a novice. In the end I did make a small profit and got my bankroll to $1,800, but a $300 profit after 4 months of betting everyday isnt a win for me. As a man that works 4 jobs, 16 hours a day, I expect results when I try something and work hard. All in all it was fun, and it wasnt fun. Bad beats and last second wins, Screaming at the TV and looking up at the ceiling wondering wtf just happened lol. i call my experience a successful failure, a failure to achieve my goal but successfully not losing my initial investment.

    So its time to take my money and run and put it to good use somewhere else.

    Goodluck!!

                            If you gamble for the money something is wrong.

                            Even if you are profitable, the ROI in terms of time and effort are poor.

                            But then so is working 4 jobs 16 hrs a day.

                                  Your small profit was still better than losses.

                                  Stick with it & have some fun!

                                    Serious reply here for once. You have unrealistic expectations if you think a $300 yield on a $1500 bankroll over 4 months is bad.

                                                I think loan sharks and banks are the way to go

                                                Also...consider a sizable cash advance on a credit card.
