    Tops 2 people who post on here in any kind of regularity making their income off sports wagering. You probably wouldn't be able to tell who they are. If it were someone like boeing and russian rocket I wouldn't be the least bit surprised. The ones who run their mouths and start 20239 threads for each pick they make, you know they struggle in real life.

    you sir are one lucky man. can you give us some tips on bankroll management, this is no doubt the most important factor in the long term and and perhaps the hardest to master. Do you use kelly criterion or do you always flat bet?

    I'm turning a profit, but I don't do it for a living.
    I have a real job, with a real pension, with real benefits.

    i feel like even if I won enough to make a living the online book would shut my account down because I was winning too much. Am I wrong about this?

    you are not wrong about this. You may be able to switch around from book to book for a few years .. but they dont have to accept your action.


    You might have to move out to Vegas like i did.

    Now that i live in Vegas i dont have to worry about these online sportsbooks that SBR promotes stealing my money like what happened to so many here with BetIands
