      Only gamblers require "satisfaction" from our betting.

      This is not really gambling. It's grinding. And no matter how much Alfa wins, or even how he can get down, if you are a gambler you will find it a boring ritual fairly quickly.

      Need self discipline and daily work ethic to do this. Not a gamblers mentality.
      I realize now how my post sounds like a dumbass arrogance. So to clarify, yes it is a grind.

      I myself have been a high volume bettor myself for many years. I am talking about 1000+ bets a month, betting every edge from 0.01% to 10%.

      I just got burned out and low liquid markets don't interest me anymore and I have lost passion for this.

      But no doubt, Alfa is doing a great job. Sorry for my dumb post before

        Can understand that. Most regulars who pick winners around here would not last 2 months trying it seriously IMHO.

        Using words like passion leaves me thinking you are a gambler at heart still btw ;-)



        It's cool that Alfa is demonstrating to people who don't think this way what the results actually can be though. Think it's a good thread.

            Thanks for the kind words you both.

            Betbangbooze, what made you stop if you don't mind me asking? Simply burned out and moved to higher stake/fewer bets or was it something else? Were you not making money with the grind?

              Opportunity cost.
              After some years I decided that low stakes are not worth the effort anymore.
              But an important part of this is, that I am still kind of old school, I don't have an automated betting model for everything.
              It took me a long long time to be able to bet really high volume every day.
              If you have an automated model and maybe even a betting bot...fire away every edge at every minute as long as it's there.

              I just decided at one point to live life a little more and it has made me a way happier person. But it was still worth it to give it my all for high volume betting at every edge. With a ''small' bankroll that is the smartest thing to do. Turning over the bankroll as many times and as fast as you can, as long as you have an edge

                I understand. Not sure how small you'd call a few hundred per bet if you grind out several hundred bets per month. That still gives a nice turnover and income. Off course if you are betting 50+ games every day without days off you will get burned out much sooner. No bot here, everything through the phone and online, manually. I still enjoy it a lot. )
