    Like someone at work, a neighbor or in-law.

    I'm rarely friends with anyone that doesn't bet sports.

    Love finding new friends. Sometimes you can peg them but sometimes they are in disguise

                Several years ago I'm hammering this girl I picked up at a bar. You know, one of those one night stands that happens every now and then.

                She was like an 7. Not bad, not great, but good enough.

                After about 35 minutes of hitting it pretty hard and wrapping it up, I asked her, "What are the odds of getting together again?". Her reply was, "about -120". I was like "What did you just say?". She politely added, "maybe -130 to -140". I felt good about the odds she gave and found out she was a gambling encyclopedia. She has a gambling family (Mom was a pit boss, Dad a casino manager in vegas).

                From that point on, sex was an afterthought. I learned more from her about sports gamblng than from anyone else I'd ever met.
                We're still friends and I talk with her regularly.

                Strange s#!t...

                        I question their “worth” and see if they know what they are talking about. I always ask them if they are familiar with SBR.

                              Don't let anyone at work find out. Normally, those other sports gamblers are desperate to meet other sports gamblers. They will talk to you about it endlessly, especially during NFL season. Any conversation will get steered into sports gambling. Everyone else I've ever met at work/school, ~14 or 15, has been the exact same way. Its annoying as hell, especially when you are on a losing streak.

                                  A person who doesn't gamble and needs money will never pay you back. A gambler at least will probably get a score eventually.

They will talk to you about it endlessly, especially during NFL season. Any conversation will get steered into sports gambling. Everyone else I've ever met at work/school, ~14 or 15, has been the exact same way. Its annoying as hell, especially when you are on a losing streak.
                                                    Very true very true. Especially if your successful you will constantly be asked every day did you bet that game last night? Or they try and talk about lines and shit they read off espn lol log I can go on and on very annoying

                                                      This is true... I had clients start texting me about games, picks, etc... and then my phone would buzz for 3 hours about how wrong or right I was, every single play, catch, pass, etc... it got so annoying. I don’t talk about it anymore.

                                                        The average sports bettor is square as fukk and it's difficult to have a real conversation on the subject.

                                                        I'm not trying to sound arrogant because we all start off square as fukk and there's a real learning curve that takes time to navigate. You have to suffer the wars, endure the bad beats, weather the ups and downs, learn from your mistakes, and come out the other side still standing. Those bettors are few and far between. Most stay stuck in neutral and just wanna bet the Packers every week.

                                                            lmao, funny thread.

                                                            There's only one answer to the OP's thread title question, just one.

                                                            Start booking their bets.

                                                                    She was like an 7. Not bad, not great, but good enough.

                                                                    After about 35 minutes of hitting it pretty hard and wrapping it up, I asked her, "What are the odds of getting together again?". Her reply was, "about -120". I was like "What did you just say?". She politely added, "maybe -130 to -140". I felt good about the odds she gave and found out she was a gambling encyclopedia. She has a gambling family (Mom was a pit boss, Dad a casino manager in vegas).

                                                                    From that point on, sex was an afterthought. I learned more from her about sports gamblng than from anyone else I'd ever met.
                                                                    We're still friends and I talk with her regularly.

                                                                    Strange s#!t...
