Dropping Out of College

You couldn't do both?

stupid

Awesome. Love to hear things like this. PM me the games.

Prove that your system works, then i'll decide

Does anyone think it is a terrible idea to drop out of college and become a professional sports bettor? I have designed a system that is proven to win. I have taken the numbers of each and every sport over the past 10 season and compiled them into a one-of-a-kind betting system. I have already profited over $5,000 in just a month and a half. Based on the results of previous years there is no reason for me to be in college.

Does anyone think it is a good idea to drop out of college and just be a sports bettor? I plan on setting aside enough money to pay for college (by this time my parents would want nothing to do with me) if I need to go back.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Interesting, what did you say, you had a ....system? I've never heard of such a thing. Wesley Snipes who posts here is 19 and he has a system that he will be using as well. I think you guys should both go back to school because as my dad was fond of saying, "One day you'll wake up and you'll be 40." He was right.

one month of winning is not proven!

1st and Ten · 01-30-10, 01:46 PM

All successful cappers generally state if they could do it again they would NOT do it. Heed the advice

collegedropout · 01-30-10, 01:47 PM

I can do both at the same time, but not as effective as I would like to. This baseball season I will make 60 to 75k if the trends of the last 10 years of baseball continue. Even baring a huge let down season, one has to believe that 30 to 35 units of profit will hit.

Online sportsbooks these days are so sketchy. You never really know if you are going to get your money or not. By dropping out it will allow me to continue betting small through sportsbooks (so they don't shut my account down), my two bookies, and now I could wager the huge limits that I can afford in Vegas.

Depends what you mean by "proven to win".
If you mean it had been fully backtested with no element of fitting and then played on enough markets to make a workable sample size, then go for it.

If not, stay in college and continue to work on your system. You have your whole life ahead of you, better to have a college degree to fall back on, just in case this doesn´t make you rich.

collegedropout · 01-30-10, 01:49 PM

I understand that I have only been actually betting for a month. However the system is proven to win over the past 10 years. I would say that it is proven. No flaws whatsoever.

btraband · 01-30-10, 01:52 PM

right, no one else could ever develop your system, you've figured out how to make money not working. no one else has ever thunk of that and it is a common life decison! what a joke

james4512 · 01-30-10, 01:52 PM

theres no such thing as a system, the only system that is proven to work is watching as much sports as humanily possible while taking notes during the game. Ive done it for years and finally its paying off but not heavily, money management is still the most important

Reload · 01-30-10, 01:54 PM

Bad idea, man. Nothing wrong with pursuing sports betting enough to one day do something big with it, but don't drop out of school because of it. You need an eduacation, and even if it doesn't lead to a super job, having the education to fall back on when dreams don't work out is pretty important.

This is called ´fitting´ and it is a bad idea in sports betting and it is a bad idea in financial markets.

Stay in college.

Statements like this are exactly why you punks lose money day after day. You fail to enter any mathematical systems into your plays. You may look at trends, previous games, etc., but what you don't realize is that you are looking in the wrong places.

Tsoprano · 01-30-10, 02:02 PM

You do NOT need school if you have leadership abilities and basic business smarts. Lots of ways to make a lot of money in this World and school is NOT for everyone. Gl with your decision either way.

btraband · 01-30-10, 02:02 PM

drop out of college so you don't somehow get put into a position in which you make decisions that matter to others

whatsgood5 · 01-30-10, 02:06 PM

Finish college that way you have a back-up plan if this system doesn't work in the long run.

dwaechte · 01-30-10, 02:11 PM

Guy is a ****ing spammer, nothing more. Bullshit story.

[✔] McDonald's application

collegedropout · 01-30-10, 02:15 PM

Lol...scammer? 10 years of sample size is more than plenty. I've been working on this system with a professor at my university for over a year and it was finally 100% flawless just two months ago.

You can all think its BS. I really do not care one way or another if you believe me.

Dude, assuming you are a real person and not a regular poster's ghost playing a joke, don't be dumb -- do NOT drop out of school. If you do, I guarantee you'll look back on it and say "What the !$@# was I thinking??"

You don't think the people on this board have seen every imaginable system? Of COURSE we use MATH, take a look around the forum!!! There's a Think Tank in here in which all they talk about is systems and the math element of betting. But guess, what, there's no such thing is a fool-proof, consisent-winning system. Doesn't exist.

So have your fun w/ betting and good luck with it, but just do it while you're in school, okay? Just trying to help, Bro!

BrentCrude · 01-30-10, 02:21 PM

If you are going for a fluff degree that will just get you a job with the government as a poverty pimp social worker under an Obama stimulus program,quit college immediately.Tell people you will quit if they pitch in some money in your hat begging on the street saying the payoff is a bribe so you won't become a tax payer burden to them.Use that money as your seed money to start betting with.

Backtesting does NOT count as part of your sample.

I would suggest you dig out some previous threads in the Think Tank on model testing, there is some good stuff in there. Fitting a system to historical data DOES NOT work going forward.

I don´t think you came here to listen to anyone, it appears you have made up your mind. IMHO you will regret it.

Ah, to be young again, when I knew everything!

Dank_Fire · 01-30-10, 02:41 PM

Don't do this please.

Dank_Fire · 01-30-10, 02:42 PM

If Your in college now and have been using this system for past 10 seasons...how old where you when u began to gamble?

bookie · 01-30-10, 03:06 PM

Do you like to read? Are you into your course of study?

If you are even considering dropping out it must mean that you aren't happy with your college life. I would say drop out. See where this sports betting thing takes you. If you're rich in a couple of years I would bet that you'll want to go back for the right reasons, if you've backfitted and don't have what you think you have you can go back with a little more resolve for your studies.

whats your fuccing system mx+b? you cant just type numbers into a computer and get an answer. Good luck i hope you drop out of school and make millions but actions speak louder than words and all you have right now is words

Details on system or GTFO, which means Get The **** Out.

If this leads to you advertising a system people have to pay you for, then please burn and die.

seaborneq · 01-30-10, 11:13 PM

Do it. Chase your dreams. You can always go back to college. Make the money until the system fails and then try some more. Don't think all of us have not tried to make gambling a living. One more thing. If this system is a bona fide winner, just win all of the money and don't come on here and try to be a tout.
