    What's your sports betting day like?

    Ever since having a kid, I wake up pretty early to take care of him. I work at home doing affiliate marketing mainly in the gaming niche, so it gives me plenty of time to spend with him.

    I do my tennis capping the night before, since the tennis games typically occur in the morning, and some of them are done and graded before I wake up. I primarily use Pinnacle for tennis, but I always check oddsportal to see which book has the best odds. For those that don't live in the States, oddsportal beats sbrodds hands down.

    By 10am, I've already put my bets in on the US sports I'm going to bet on. Around 11am, I start betting on the ponies in the States. I've got a nice system down, and it works out perfectly for me. I use Betfair and AGT Pro for the ponies, because the odds are so much better, and I like the tools that come with AGT Pro.

    I stick with ponies in the States just because of the time difference. UK ponies happen from 5am until about 11am, and the Australian ponies are in the evening for me. You could bet on the ponies practically 24 hours a day if you wanted. The ponies are the most profitable for me, but the extra income from betting on US sports plus tennis is nice as well.

    So by about 2-3pm, my work day is over, and it's time to see how my bets did on the US markets. Surprisingly enough, the US markets are my least performing ones. Horses are #1, tennis is #2, and US being 3rd. I've tried my hand at football (soccer), but I haven't developed a profitable model for it yet.

    I keep funded accounts at 5Dimes, Pinnacle and Betfair. I have no use for any others (which is why I'm not an SBR Pro - the only available options for me are to fund a new sportsbook, and I'm just not interested in that - no other options are shown to me, not even donating to a charity).

    I do not make my living from betting; it's just another income stream for me. Affiliate marketing is a golden business model; just look at SBR.

    Longest post I've seen in a while. A good one though.
