    Someone asks this every couple of months.

    Durito is usually the first to bang on his chest and say that he does. Surprised he hasn't here yet.

    Personally, I think Nicky is the only one, but I could be wrong.

    Someone who is really a professional gambler would have no use for this place.

        I know a few pros out there that is doing well but they sure have to work hard at all the angles at this. They are all very strict on their bankrolls also. They run through bad streaks and some go through hot streaks.

            If you can live off of +4 units a month. Say you need 5K a month to live then your units = $1250.00

            Do you have the proper BR to make 1250 dollar bets? Can you clear +1 unit per week?

                What would someone pay to learn a system that makes about 150u per year? And doesn't involve arbing at 20 different books?

                    +150 units per yr is tough , very very few can do that. Just isnt that many plums to pick.

                      It's possible to make 70-90 units (risking 1 unit a play) on an MLB season with...well, not with ease, but once you've found the right methodology it is a relatively simple process. The hard work comes from all the data gathering and number crunching.

                          Not only do I not make a living off this but I might be the worst gambler on the face of the planet! I have heard some so called experts say it is hard to be below 48% in picking winners and if I were keeping track this year I have proven this theory to be way off! Right now I would guess I am right in the 33% area. Whatever I say on any of the posts you should try to get as much money as possible weather it is legal or illegal in doing so and put it on the other team! This is how bad I am... So today I love Bama getting the pointsThis is your big chance to make back whatever money you lost this week and put that amount on FL. I will except points in return for this info if you win so that I can go blow them in the casino! So to answer your question Fukk no I do not make a living off this. Also... what the hell is a unit?
