Ps you all know that Rudy is talking about bet points, right?

[Dollars2Donuts]

I wouldn't expect Sbr ppl to understand but some of us actually make a great living and love our jobs and do this gambling thing as a hobby.

But you keep rofelling. There's no shortage of 99 percenters out there.

Lol, well said brother. Sports betting has never affected my life on a day to day basis, other than giving me some extra cash to throw down on the Beemer or on my down payment for my place.

If I didn't have an amazing job I would probably be on life tilt and totally broke. Love what I do.

Sure thing boss.


I make what I consider a goodliving...And Love my job.
If I were to make 500K gambling and live in Vegas I'd trade it in.

But that's just me. I wouldn't move to Vegas either if I was making 500K a year doing what I do now.
I didn't know guys that make 500K a year waste time on SBR, thanks for putting me in my place mr tatddy!

[jjgold]

Guys with small roosters receive more respect than small bettors do

sammy that hurt man, I am telling you right now I rather have 8 inch rooster and bet $5 per game

you have no idea man at gym and in showers and guys all sticking out with 7's and 8's and I walk into shower and little stub hanging out

Sammy??? Common man low blow at me

[No coincidences]

I wouldn't live in Vegas for 500K a year. Have a hard enough time stomaching 4 days straight in that shitthole.

And some people actually like and are sustained by their work. Most of you fukks would probably end up jumping off a bridge before you hit 50 if you struck it rich and retired young.

tat is like an SBR deity.

Well said my man.

It's not a hit on your or anyone else. Just the idea that someone like No Coin's life would be better if he made a bunch more money when living in Vegas. You just can't assume that everyone on here has the same priorities.

I'm not saying anyone here makes half million a year. It was just trying to exaggerate a point.

If I wanted to find happiness through money and/or gambling, I wouldn't hold down a steady job I enjoy, I wouldn't have gotten married and I wouldn't have kids. I wouldn't trade shoes with Billy Walters or any other "successful" gambler (whatever that means) if you held a gun to my head. I'd say pull the trigger. I don't find happiness through this shit -- I do it to pass the time and because I love sports and crunching numbers.

I'm not knocking anyone either. Just sayin it seems like No Coin enjoys gambling...He now wagers 20 bucks a unit, safe to assume he doesn't make 125K a year, why wouldn't he accept that and put in his X amount of hours handicapping and then enjoy the rest of the day...No need for 8-10 hour work days, when he can make 125K a year gambling.

I got offered to work in the best part of the country (what I consider) and pay bump of 25K, but would have to answer to other people and not have my own schedule. I said no thanks. Now I know for a fact if I could make 500K a year in Vegas gambling, I would be pretty silly to turn it down especially if it only involved a few hours a day of handicapping. Come on now, most people would be silly or lying saying they'd turn that down...UNLESS of course you make that much or very close to it and like your job.

The delta between what you value and what you perceive others value is probably pretty significant. Also something to think about. A guy like No Coin who enjoys and is successful betting 20-100 bucks a game might not enjoy betting 1K a game with his livelihood on the line every month. I'd say that's a bit more anxiety provoking and this gambling thing is as much mental as it is data scalping.

I don't make all that much money. But I always have enough to do whatever I want and I work a 4 day, 33ish hour work week and get to spend a ton of free time enjoying sunny California. That, to me, is worth more than any life 500K a year vegas life would provide. I left a Director level job for a large corporation before this. Ain't no going back to that shitt.

But again that's just me. And we all have different views on what's important while we're still ticking.

not gonna waste more time with this, I kinda see what you're getting at...I was just assuming that he would guarantee make 125K a year gambling and wouldn't do it, because he has responsibilities.

Well he manages to gamble now and work a day job and have all those real world responsibilities...Why not cut out the day job and just handicap then spend even more time with his family and taking care of those real world responsibilities? Makes no sense to me.

And someone that gets anxiety from gambling is betting way more than he should...But that's also just my take on the subject, if you really had real life responsibilities and gamble what you can afford to, there should be no anxiety, it's all just fun. But once you start betting way too much and depend on the outcome of a game and drive yourself nuts...That can't be good for you.

Feel exactly the same, brother.

Vegas a fun place to visit....zero interest in living there fulltime.
(and to be honest even my "visits" there have decreased ten fold in the past couple years)

Vegas too hot to offer any sort of competitive fastpitch travel softball in the summer. I have no idea what the fukk those people do out there all the time??

[TheMoneyShot]

The good thing about only wagering $50 on a game... it doesn't bother you if you lose... and you never have to watch the game. The last time I wagered $50 on a game... I forgot I even placed the wager. Some good pros and cons when wagering a less amount. Less stress.

[No coincidences]

Exactly.

Look, everyone here has different comfort levels, thus everyone has different opinions on this subject. I will say this, though -- the one certainty is that you should bet within your means. If you can afford to bet $100 a unit or even $1000 a unit, great. But if you can't, don't. That's the most common mistake people make. It sounds simple, but I'd be willing to wager the vast majority of posters here are real-world broke and betting way beyond what should be their limits.

First, there are no "guarantees." You say I could "guarantee" myself $125K per year gambling. That's at $1,000 per unit, and that's being up nearly 250 units in the last 22 months. But that doesn't mean over the next 22 months I'm going to be up that much. And $1,000 a unit is a pretty obscene amount to gamble with anyway (and this is coming from someone who has experienced very little failure over the course of the last two years).

It's all hypothetical at this point because I have way too many day-to-day, steady-income type responsibilities to consider a "career" gambling, but honestly, I don't think I'd even want to do it if I was single and only concerned about myself. I've seen way too many odd beats through the years to ever consider this to be anything more than a hobby. Again, though, different strokes.

[Cuse0323]

I wish I had 50 dollars

[jjgold]

nobody wins in Vegas either

I cannot believe guys actually think they can win after losing everything

[jjgold]

I'm actually going to try Vegas with my pro career and see if it's any different. My numbers right now are not cutting it.

People Bet for different reasons one to make money, some for the challenge, some is for the fun, recreational hobby, and some mask other issues.

Some guys can bet $10 a game and be very happy

[James D]

I think it's u who are trying to act "big time" for Sbr with this thread

Paco you are so right man. I live among financial titans and this type of stupid sh@t always gets me annoyed. You don't have to call others small time to be big time in any aspect of life, many don't realize that.

smaller bettors are looked down upon

Pathetic but true JJ

Guys with small roosters receive more respect than small bettors do

LOL

guy did you miss my thread where i lost 12k on a game and did not care?

well i bet 50-100 starting out.

my only goal is 50k though

and thats not to cash out, its to bet with

If 50k is your goal then you are as small time to some of us as the 50 dollar bettors you laugh at are to you.

ok pal, you keep cashing out welfare money

i laugh when i see people cashing out $200 and paying $25 for a withdrawal

jesus fukkin christ grow some balls

Balls? Let's see If you have the balls you speak of bud. Post up any amount over 7500 with An escrow service and I will do the same and we can have a handicapping contest. One week, one day, one bet, whatever winner take all. I will post and pay an extra 1k if you win. You pick the day you want to start it and let's set up the rules.

Oh oh and the 12k you "brag" about losing on a single bet, that's welfare money to me . You feel better?

[James D]

But again that's just me. And we all have different views on what's important while we're still ticking.

Exactly right. What each of us assign value to and what we will do to achieve or acquire those things is what it's all about. This plays a huge part in EVERYTHING in our lives. From our marital status to whether we are 100 pounds overweight or we have six pack abs. The biggest problem with most people is they assume what they assign value to should be valued by everyone.

I've got to agree with this. Never understood penny pinching betters.

Be a man and at least bet $100 a game.

If you bet small, YOU DON'T NEED TO BE GAMBLING IN THE FIRST PLACE.

SCARED MONEY DON'T MAKE NO MONEY

[THam12]

All about relative wealth.

I cashed out 400% ROI after college bball. Started out betting 20-40 a game and ended betting 200-300.

[killawookie]

I agree with points on both sides. However I fail to understand why it matters to others what I or anyone else does with our money...

You putting 1-2 grand on a side I was thinking of putting my $50 doesn't make me feel any better or worse about my decision... nor does it put any more money into my pocket.

I remember sitting at a $15 BJ table one time and went on a 18-1 win streak while people came and sat down placing much higher wagers and DIDN'T follow basic strategy the same as me.. I still came out doubled up and had more of a fun time than anyone else. The funny thing is that more money on any type of bet doesn't make it a wiser bet. Casinos don't continue to thrive off of us low dollar bettors.. it's the whales that comes crashing in and paying them..

[Jayvegas420]

[Big Bear]

What are you trying to do?

Win groceries?

Regardless you are still living a boring life

Go all in and fukk it.

Winning $500 in a year isnt life changing so neither is losing $500

Catch a fukkin run and change your life men.

I believe in you

poorly written but i get what you are saying. I agree with you but i'm not sure why you care what others do with their money. I wish everybody the best but i dont care how much other posters bet. I just appreciate the insight and winners provided on this site. Rudy good luck on your plays pal.

[Dr.Gonzo]

ok fine take $50

bet 9 out of 10 bets to cash out those means

another $50 take double or nothing for 7 games

how can you go big time betting 50 bucks?

well you cant

at some point you need to fukkin take a chance

Turnover is what matters not bet size.

If you have 200 $100 bets a week, you'll turnover more than a million dollars in a year.

If you average 2.5% POT, you'll make over 25k.

[professionalAD]

i agree rudy, i finally realized what the fuuck am i doing betting a hundred a game, where am i getting with that? changed to a thousand a game. scared money dont make no money.

[OMGRandyJackson]

The thing that gets me is why is someone whose betting $50k+ on a game, wasting his time on a forum?

[BigBusiness]

atta boy. you and me both!

[THam12]

Ding ding ding. We have an intelligent human being in the thread.

[professionalAD]

atta boy. you and me both!

yep just saw your post after i posted mine lol cheers! beat the books!

[gauchojake]

If I only bet 50 bucks on a sports bet but a mil on real estate am I still doing it wrong?

[Pauulzcappin]

The bolded sentence was one of the best I ever read.

You are one of the good ones, james.

always stick around.
