    Betting on credit is definitely tough. How come they never came to collect? They just kept letting you bet?

    Some people make money smokey, it is possible. D2D's sample size is definitely getting large enough to say he can beat the vig long-term.

    Thanks tto, still a work in progress, and will always be some ups and downs.....but getting there.

    Also, I wasn't necessarily speaking of myself Smokie.....just saying that there are some, very rare, people that do this long term for a living and do well at it. I know an old friend of mine does it....we had lost touch, but the guy lives within his bank, has a great life, nice possessions, etc and he has been doing it exclusively for over a decade. Nothing extravagent mind you, just smart.....

    I admit, even at 1600 plays, I still have other things to prove such as kong term money management, etc.....the picking though, I have no doubt that can be done.....the problems come from the lifestyle that a solid bettor will inevitably feel he/she deserves to live....if this can be avoided I have no doubt that there can be positive, long term EV,

    If he is going to continue to read the post this won't be anything new. He already has 2 bets that won't be settled until the end of September. If he wants to quit he will have to get those picks off of the books somehow.

    Like i said there are 3 ways to win at gambling

    Quit, become a paid tout, or book the action

    Being a winning bettor long term is RARE VERY VERY RARE

    Have a friend buy it from you. How much is the action for? They go in and change the password on your account and then after the wagers are over, if they need to cash out they get you to verify things.....if you are honest then you will be fine!

    Two futures bets with nearly 2K at risk. I don't know anyone that would be willing to buy it from me unfortunately. Not that the bets are in bad shape right now...just don't know who would be interested.

    Oh well.....just something I have to deal with it. I've been holding up ok this week. When 7pm rolls around and there are NBA/NHL playoffs games on its tough, but were getting through it.

    Send me a PM of a screen shot and we can talk about value....I may try and skin you a little, but if you are going to be honest about this I can probably help you out.

    Can't do financial dealings here D2D, if you try and carry it through one or both of you will be banned, and yes SBR goes through PM's. I'd also be interested in helping him out if the price was right, but you just can't get these things moving here. Take the convo elsewhere if its going to continue.
