    I could make a living at poker but it's boring as shit... Sports betting is like donating to charity. Good feeling while your doing it but in the end you are out of your money.

      Sports betting is like reverse socialism. The smart people take money from the needy.

                Makes no sense, you're sayin the books are needy and your smart

                I always thought the books had plenty and if anyone was smart enough to beat them they just lower their limits to 5 bucks a game

                  2 nights in a row I've seen unbelievable live lines. If they keep this up, I will make a living just on those.

                      laugh if yu want but I've seen them make more mistakes with them this year than ever before which may be a reason that I've made more this year than ever. I've been able to middle games because of them.

                              i tried for 14 years, ended up much farther behind than if i had never started. Had some terrific runs, but OVERALL, its a loser. SBR points are a lot safer LOL

                                  Im American, sports gamblin wasn't made for me, pinnacle, betfair and bout 80% of the books are off limits

                                  I dont play at bookmaker anymore bc I keep blowin my balance in their rigged poker room whenever I win (gl against Penny and Anglor if you play there, they lost 5 bucks about a year ago and play 24/7)

                                      Matchy no longer has live betting, they have a green light with lines like -450 100 offer/-450 100 offer, they used to have lots of live betting but guess all the live bettors left for some reason, saying bodog/betus/sportsbook.com/sportsbetting.com just proves to me you have a good sense of humor, bodog live is a scam you literally will never win, the rest are scambooks that youll never get paid from

                                        First thing you need is at least 100k bank roll, 500k is better. Next thing is never bet more than 1% of BR on a single game. Then just pick winners. Simple, but not easy.

                                            I know of a pro who almost exclusively uses Matchbook and mostly bets live sports. So saying they don't offer live betting is wrong. Sometimes the lines can be a waste of time sometimes they can be so lucrative that a monkey could win there. Sounds to me bet that you are looking for an easy way to make some coin, unfortunately there is no easy way.

                                              On Sunday most of their "live lines" didnt even have offers for the entire game, just 100% nothing, matchy might as well have taken them down but yes in beginning of year there was live betting there and I played on it a few times, not sure what happened
