    How many people are up lifetime?
    I know only like 3% to 5% of poker players are winners longterm. Whats it like for sportsbook players 1%?

    Only been betting a few years and was up over 20,000 last year till I lost it all with poor bankroll management. Whats the key? Be a superwiz?

                  Easiest way:
                  Step 1. Figure out the Sportsbooks weaknesses.

                  Step 2. Work your ass off to become good at their weaknesses.

                  Hard way:
                  Bet on your favorite sports that you love to watch. Ignore statistics, ignore data, ignore everything except what your GUT tells you to do. Trust your "feeling" and make all your bets that way. If you have a "HUNCH", roll with it!

                      Yes, be a superwiz, not at sports, but math, and invent a time machine.

                            I would guess for the last 25 years I'm up $500,000 in sportsbetting. It's not hard to win.

                              JG, the hard way is the way I learned to win. Meaning, I have made every mistake you listed sports betting. I learned the hard way through hard lessons. Have only really been a winning bettor the last 2-3 years out of 10-12 years total. Not sure on the figures but tracking it now...

                                Back in the day it was easy to win offshore. So easy it was laughable. Still possible, but not nearly as easy.

                                  I always wondered, how many people who are down for their lifetime (practically all gamblers), would give up all forms of gambling if they could get recoup all their lifetime losses +$1? Not a single bet again after that... if you ever make another wager, you have to forfeit all of your recouped losses + $1. I think a lot of people think they would take back their losses, and retire a lifetime winner up $1, but eventually most would rather give it back just to be able to get that rush again.

                                    Probably down on actually bets but up low 6 figures on bonuses and comps.
