I've been wondering that because I see alot of you throw around large amounts of money on your wagers so I was wondering if any of you actually dont have a job or maybe a job that you earn more money through sports betting.

[frogsrangers]

It can't be done unless you have a roll of 6 figures so basically you already have to be pretty well off to pull it off

No rags to riches stories unless you get incredibly lucky for example putting $100 on a 10 team parlay

[Mikeyanks23]

dont believe everything you see on here

This thread comes up a lot.

Nobody here does.

Let me tell you factually none, lots of bs on this forum and it either comes from kids or from bs authorities. Some people might say they do and I grant that it is possible but very very unlikely. You can't beat the math. So for every 10,000 that say they are maybe .5 is telling the truth.

[jaeguyoon]

I dont' earn a living off it, but it does allow me to spend money I normally would've never spent on. Also makes me eat ramen at home sometimes tho. loooool

You most certainly can beat the math.

I don't earn my living through gambling itself, but I do earn my living through other people gambling.

Correct, that is the way you can win. I won for decades too. But betting, no you can't.

if you're on the right side of the juice (either through booking bets or taking big bonuses everywhere) you will win in the long run.
if you're on the wrong side of the juice by simply making bets without knowing what you're doing, you will lose in the long run.

pretty simple really

Yes, absolutely. In fact, if you are getting the juice you don't even need the long run. You win almost every week. When you lose you are really shocked, almost never happens.

It's possible to turn $1000 to $10,000. It takes a lot of patience and research.

That's b/s that you cannot make a living trading/betting on sports. I am Australia and I know 2 people here who do make a living from nothing but gambling. Myself personally I have a job and a pension from the army so I most definately don't make a living through sports betting, however I have had winning years 3 of the last 4 and I will tell you how.

MLB - follow Kyle hunter. The guy is a winner plain and simple, season after season.

NBA - Cap my own games, nothing fancy, usually just m/l or ATS with the occasional total. No parlays, no
fancy bets. I love home dogs who have been playing well recently, and I love fading heavy chalk (on the road) over a 5 game spread (similar to a system bet). I did actually have a losing year last NBA season, however normally I make consistent money from the NBA.

WNBA - I used to follow TSG (the sharp group - every bit as good as RAS) but now I follow the king of beaver ball - our very own ROXXY.

NHL - I followed wunderdog last season for a very small profit but will be considering Johnny banks for next season.

NFL - will be following Kyle Hunter for the first time this season in NFL.

NCAAB - Followed Doc from Doc Sports (for free) for the back half of last ncaab season where he absolutely killed it!

Football/Soccer - I have my own trading system that I use to trade soccer on Betfair. It is my own variation on the well known "lay the draw" strategy and I use it to make a consistent (however small) profit on the larger league's (la liga, bundesliga, serie a, premier, etc)

AFL/NRL & Netball - Australian sports.

My bread and butter! I have had 5 winning years in a row in AFL, and 2 in a row in NRL. I also wager on Netball (when I have the time) as results tend to be rather consistent. So how do I do it simple.

A. I am absolutely obsessed with both afl, NRL & the NBA. I would back myself in a trivia/quiz situation against anyone.
B. I work 12 hour shifts as a security guard where I have alot of free time on my hands, so I read, read, read. Articles, previews, injury reports, it never ends.
C. The only tv I watch is sports. All the afl & NRL shows I can fit in as well as mike & mike & as much sportscentre as I can squeeze in for US sports.
D. Most Important - do the research, understand the sport and then back yourself always, don't be swayed by other people's opinions if it means going against your instincts.
And don't robotically back favorites. There is more long term value in a strong underdog (although not easy
to find).
E. Lastly - if you follow someone in a sport then just do it. Don't puck and choose your spots (you will nit win in the long run). If you are following them - then follow every selection. Ride and die with your capper, the key is obviously finding the right guy in the first place.

Cheers.

So you're a sheep?

I have been on this board for a couple of years. There are very Very few sharps here. 99.9% of people here lie and lose in long term.

This !
It can't be done, you can supplement your income, you can make a few extra dollars doing it, but you can't make a dependable living betting sports, and if you say you can, you are a liar.

Right on the button. Liars and BS. 99.99% you are correct sir.

You need to have a large bank roll. You can make money a simple way. Bet a initial amount on a straight bet if it lose's you double the bet and add the initial bet you started with. Example: bet $220 on a team if you lose you bet the next bet at $220 plus the next bet of $220 totaling $440 and add the initial bet of $220 for a total of $660, when you win you get $600 back with a profit of $380. But if you lose you have to go back to doubling the bet and adding the initial bet on top so if you lose the next bet will be $1320 plus the $220. You keep going until you win and go back the the initial bet of $220. That means each bet you place you make the initial starting wages. I knew one gut who does it everyday one he had to bett over $1000,000 to finially get his profit I think he lost 10 straight bets

I do fair at it beating the horses but I am a good handicapper.

very easy to do

reason you guys don't get it is you think the only way to make money is to try and beat NFL

dumbasses

[Playthehorses]

Become a pro yes is all I can say is yes... I know off 5 professionnal gamblers that that have not worked for the last 15 years who live in Vegas who make $300 a day $2100 a week who bet one game a day at $330 on a specific team. The Math does not lie figure it out... Is is like betting red or black on a roulette table or any gambling that is a 50/50 chance of winning....
