Does Your Bankroll & Betting Size Determine How Good A Handicapper You Are?

The short answer is no.

IMO, an longterm ATS of 55% is a solid indicator.

never met an ATS winner long term (over 5k games) at 55% but I am sure they exist

They probably do, but I have some doubts as to whether or not you can find sufficient plays at that win % (and edge) to make real money. I believe the line will only be off that much for a very small number of games each week.

its the old silver spoon get rich program, The possibility to sell 1 spoon for a profit is very real so it is real but you cant make that same profit selling 100s per day. People think it can happen cause they sell 1 but in reality you cannot sell more than 1 so it does not exist.
Winning at sports betting short term is done everyday by everyone and even short long term is done everyday BUT long term over 1000s of records runs into some serious road blocks.
1. capping that many games
2. that many games having enough margin to be profitable
3. books allowing you to bet long term
4. adequate bankroll to handle variance
I am sure there are more why nots but I am sure you get the idea
