    Check in if you're a long-term winning gambler...

    I'm just looking for a headcount.

    Curiosity has gotten the best of me today.

    Most studies show about 2-5% of people win at gambling over the long haul, but I believe the number is much higher here at SBR.

    I've only been gambling for the last two years and some change. I've been a profitable player.

    I roughly won slightly over $5000 in each of the first two years.

    I quit my good paying job at the end of March in my second year.

    First three months this year, I've won $28,000+ I've taken half of April and all of May off. What changed you might ask, experience in my methods.

    Gambling is fun. Win some lose more. I can't watch sports anymore unless I have something on the game unless it's the world cup final.

    Where do you live?

    What books do you use?

    What sport do you excel in?

    Do you have a model?

    If you stuck with what you're good at.... REALLY GOOD AT... you'd be PLUS.

    Once you mix in a sport you AREN'T GOOD AT.... that's when the train wreck happens.

    No one with the handle SlapYaMama will win at gambling long term. Guaranteed. Start looking for work. This will not end well.

    I win over time.. Checking in..

    Stinking it up in these NBA playoffs though this year .. Very hit and miss..

    Did ok with Hockey this year but that's over.. MLB solid so far and MMA I'm as steady as a rock as usual... Pretty good with the abstract bets like Politics and others.. That's all I got..

    Foose ball typically kicks my arse too.. That could be the toughest sport to gamble on IMO.. For me it is..

    Last season I pretty much broke even which was a good year for me.. I was actually up money until the playoffs started and that's when all hell broke loose, lost the Superbowl betting against Denver which ultimately killed all last profits....

    People that really, really, really win are like magicians. They don't tell how they do their tricks. Nobody wins unless they put in 10 hours a day and comes to the party with 50k+. Big money wins little money day after day after day - little money searching for big payoffs is not going to win long term.

    I've been following your picks religiously and I've noticed a trend... they all lose. That's right, they lose and lose and lose again. I even devised a drinking game: Every time one of your plays lose, I'd pour a shot for the homeless fella down the block.

    He's dead now.

    Personally I rarely watch games. Mostly playoffs, if a buddy comes over. I haven't watched a single NBA game, nor baseball this year. I did watch the SB as my team was in it, but only watch a few of their reg season games. I like March madness so I watched a few of those. I'm numb to it. Box scores before bed and in the morning.

    I haven't reloaded in 5-6 years. I haven't won a lot of money either.

    I believe this is a loaded question. Most guys are delusional.

    It would be a huge ego-blow to admit to defeat. Why admit defeat, when u can play on?

    It's not even a real crack pipe, dummy, it's a vaporizer. I smoke imaginary crack vapors to ween myself off of the real thing.

    Yeah, I looked up your threads already and tailed. Did I not mention that? Your picks were directly responsible for the death of another human being. All of your threads should come with a skull & crossbones warning label.

    My picks? I don't suppose they would also be in a thread that anyone could look up... no wait, I left them in a brown paper bag in the pantry sandwiched between the Fruity Pebbles and a jar of pickles. Anyone can come over to my place and see them for themselves. I'll leave a key under the welcome mat.

    I'm up life time. Have the last couple years to thank for that.

    Don't bet sports I know I am bad at. Bigger stakes. Moderation.
