Way too many options with these USA books. They find the degenerate in you. You can bet on who will fall down first. You need extreme discipline.

lol too many options.
All the options create opportunities for the mathematically discerning.
They have to post an almost unlimited menu. Bettors can just cherry-pick the "mistakes". It's great.Comment -
laker is the real players advocateComment -
I only ever bet on the apps in Vegas which are pretty vanilla in my opinion. I see the commercials though. They are just picking on square public bettors goading them into -ev parlays and live betsComment -
In sick of all the commercialsComment -
When you bet the Browns and claim they’re “on a roll” after beating the Texans gambling is probably tough for you at the moment bud. You’ll get there.Comment -
Discipline is easy
It all depends on bankroll
If you got a good one it isn't that hard
If not it is a pain
Betting is not fun if you have to grind small amounts to build a bankroll
No one wants to take months to turn a few hundred into thousands and always chase to not have the small bankroll disappearComment -
And every book has Quick hooks regardless, of who you areComment -
If you're a bulk bettor and must have action on anything that is on TV I guarantee you're a loser.
The successful sports bettors are spot bettors.
Do your homework, seek out value, pick your spots.
If you don't enjoy analytics, if you don't enjoy math, if you don't enjoy sports, and you want to be successful this isn't for you.Comment -
I like Alternate line betting also. Certainly have to pick your spots though. It usually works out for me.Comment -
And get the right numbers too.
Books have 80 college games to worry about on any Saturday in October, the books on occasions hang soft numbers, not often, but they do on occasion, and that's what you need to seek out.
I'll say it again, do your homework, do the research, put in the work, you can exploit the soft spots, only if you put in the work.
KNOWLEDGE IS KINGComment -
No Laker, all your reasons are actually better for the betting landscape and increase our opportunities.
Your issue here is with responsible gaming, and all it takes is one single betting option in front of the wrong guy for that to go haywire.
There’s just no room for degeneracy when betting meaningfully. It’s not acceptable and should be saved for bet points at best.
There really isn’t room for degeneracy when betting recreationally either, but it’s a fact that some people simply shouldn’t bet.
That fact is not the fault of the options on the table, it only takes one option, it’s more the fault of human behavior.
It’s a behavior that the oddsmaker, bookmaker, and knowledgeable bettors will exploit.

You are right. My issue is with responsibility. I'm not necessarily talking about myself only.No Laker, all your reasons are actually better for the betting landscape and increase our opportunities.

yeah but there are different levels of pro
can be a pro making 1 or 2 good prop bets or scalps/day and taking bonuses... might "only" make 10k/year but i would still call that a professional, since they're still in it to make a profit
i know a lot of people have different definitions of professional gambler, mine is one that is almost certain to be ahead every yearComment -
You have to learn how to exploit weakness. More options means it is easier now to find weak lines.Comment -
Scalps lol that is not a pro by any definition
9th grade math
Those days long gone
Banned instantlyComment -
Been touting prop bets since I came here in 2010. Remember when ppl used to make fun of me for it? Now everyone on this board doing it.
Ppl want to try and hit lotto tickets, the days of straight -110 bets are finished. Those aren't worth the time anyway unless you're betting 1k per game at least. If you bet 100 dollars per play, and are up 30 units at the end of the year, that 3 grand is nothing, compared to the time you invested.Cause Sleep is the Cousin of DeathComment -
No chance. Last 15 years, I would say I'm up on the year 12 of the last 15 years across all sports. There are years where I made 5 grand and I considered it a waste of time. My best year was up 60 grand, that's only because I hit a couple crazy futures and parlays that year. My bet unit is small though compared to most people. I'm not betting 1000 on every game, which is what you need to do if you want to make a real living doing this, supporting a family, etc. What is 10 grand in today's world? Literally pays for your car and insurance, that's it lol.Cause Sleep is the Cousin of DeathComment
