    Who Taught You Guys About Sports Betting??
    Men the plays I see here and bad lines you get it makes me wonder

    I see guys like LT Profits win or lose he has a clue

    Of course others too although so many plays here and what type of plays they are makes me wonder

          Was in 8th grade and a guy I knew had a NCAA tournament going (circa 1992), and he cheated everyone by having his friend win and they shared the money.

            It all has to do with knowledge of the game and the season you are betting on. There are certain "rules" and trends that are constant year after year but there is no "golden rule". I've seen strategies come and go but it always comes down to homework. Best advice I've ever heard is when you think that a line is "off", then its telling you something. Dig deeper. First few weeks of a season you might find a team or angle you can take advantage of but Vegas always adjusts...quickly!

                      JJ I like the old days where I could browse all your videos. It was the best.

                      Anyways I assume like 91% of posters are complete retards especially when they act so overly confident about a wager selection. Have been considering quietly making a spreadsheet and just betting against majority os posted picks I see. I have never followed through with it yet

                          My Dad.

                          I was about 13 years old and he was in the Air Force. Every week he'd bring home two parlay cards that he got from some guy on the base. One for him and one for me. $5 a pop.

                                          Wherever you learned it was a huge mistake. I have been playing and gambling longer than most of you are alive. I made wagers and I also worked for one of the mid size bookies in a small town. Let me tell you this, I lost almost always when wagering, I seldom lost when taking wagers. In fact, in all the years I did that I never had a losing year, not even a losing season in any sport. Seldom had a losing week, and only on occasion had a losing day.

                                          In the long run about 99% of you will lose. I after decades had not one winning player--life time. You can't win in the long run and if you do you are one of the very lucky and probably even less than 1%. Because of this fact the wagers I make today are usually small, I no longer agonize through a 1000 bet and want to commit suicide if it loses. Maybe on the super bowl I will step up with a couple hundred or on the final four. Other than that my plays are relatively small and because I am now seasoned I no longer throw the remote at the tv. Haven't done that in decades. And I know many of you are doing that daily.

                                          This advise will not be noted by many of you, it will take years and years of pounding before you finally believe it. Everything is against you when you wager. The vig, gimmicks, bad info, heart betting, chasing money, uneven wagers, low bank account and so many more. My advise is wager if you must but stay within a boundary and have real discipline because--in the long run you will lose.

                                            We get it, you suck at gambling.

                                            Doesn't mean everyone does.

                                            Branding the "less than 1%" who do win as "very lucky" seems like a very bitter comment.

I made wagers and I also worked for one of the mid size bookies in a small town. Let me tell you this, I lost almost always when wagering, I seldom lost when taking wagers. In fact, in all the years I did that I never had a losing year, not even a losing season in any sport. Seldom had a losing week, and only on occasion had a losing day.

                                                  In the long run about 99% of you will lose. I after decades had not one winning player--life time. You can't win in the long run and if you do you are one of the very lucky and probably even less than 1%. Because of this fact the wagers I make today are usually small, I no longer agonize through a 1000 bet and want to commit suicide if it loses. Maybe on the super bowl I will step up with a couple hundred or on the final four. Other than that my plays are relatively small and because I am now seasoned I no longer throw the remote at the tv.

                                                    that is because I don't come often, ask JJ he knows me. he knows I wrote about this stuff years ago. I have been here 10 years my friend.

                                                      Many will laugh but the guy I started listening to on these boards was lakerboy 5 years ago. Right now I don't really use much of the stuff I learned reading his posts back in the day because it seems things like line movement et al don't mean as much as they used to, and also because I've developed my own way of doing things which you'd expect having had so much time to figure things out.

                                                      Still reading his threads back in the day is probably what prompted me to shift my main focus and the "bulk" of my wagers from the sport I was perpetually losing at (soccer, even though I have become better at it over the years) to one I have successful with for 3 years (and one I'd much rather watch as well).

                                                      Definitely a few guys worth reading on this forum. Obviously much more worthless posters but that's to be expected, this is the internet after all.

Not one of them won in the long run. Not one of them was up before shop was closed a decade ago. That is the honest to god truth. You think you are different, more power to you. I hope you are, but you aren't.

                                                          The 1% that win are spot bettors.
                                                          Bet on a sports future that has good value and good chance to win.
                                                          For example a lucky Panthers homer who bet on the Panthers 40 to 1 during the offseason will make money if the Panthers win.
                                                          Or with my MMA betting record at 81% wins shown here: http://gunshard.blogabet.com
                                                          I spot bet and avoid most games and avoid most fights because the public bets every game and the public will lose in the long run for not spot betting.
                                                          Bankroll management is critical as well, bet less than 5% of your total bankroll per bet and never go all in.

                                                            no it is a narrative KVB, and at the end of a 100% truthful narrative there is good advice. But wise guys, guys that think they can beat this gambling deal don't want to believe it. And maybe they had a few good seasons, maybe even back to back years of winning. You know I can believe that can happen but it is rare, what is more rare is a guy that wins lifetime. You don't know any, and either do I.

                                                            If they say they are it is mostly bs.

Stick around keep playing you will get that lesson, just a matter of time my friend. Play big, play often and you will be hitting every bank and cc you have. If not, if you win god bless you. the chances are against you big time. I knew I would get this shit from some of you kids who think you know something about gambling, you know almost nothing.

I obviously didn't do too well at the start, being a newbie and everything, but for the last 3 years I have been consistently winning and am easily up lifetime. My documented threads at SBR compile to about 150 or 200 units in the black, if you want actual proof. Try again.

Stick around keep playing you will get that lesson, just a matter of time my friend. Play big, play often and you will be hitting every bank and cc you have. If not, if you win god bless you. the chances are against you big time. I knew I would get this shit from some of you kids who think you know something about gambling, you know almost nothing.
                                                                    Wow 2 answers, musta really gotten you riled up. You know nothing about me as a person. Stop trying to use dumb stereotypes. I would never be scampering and opening up new bank accounts and maxing out CC's and taking out loans. I have never borrowed a penny to gamble and never will.
