Tell me why you BET instead of BONUS WHORE, SCALP, and MIDDLE

[Fishhead]

Is it mainly the challenge?

[Fishhead]

If your just betting, you better be getting the best number a large majority of the time, or you will NEVER WIN LONGTERM.


If your betting for nothing but recreation and enjoyment and to leave the worlds troubles behind, proceed on.................there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, as there is definetly more then just making money in this hobby and one doesn't have to profit to make it worthwhile.

Entertainment.

[MonkeyF0cker]

Because of greater expected growth in wagering.. i.e. math.

[Reload]

You get to make bigger scores! Higher risk = higher reward!

[MartinBlank]

Entertainment purposes really. I like shopping for the best number. That is fun.

But I have never won anything significant from gambling.

A few successful seasons, but I got killed in college football 2009.

There is not enough liquidity in scalping/whoring/middling. You can make a small earn doing that, but some of us are more greedy than that.

[patswin]

I can do #1, can't do 2 or 3. I suck at trying to predict line movements.

[Boscoe]

Where are the most scalping opportunities? Predicting moneyline movement?

Gambling is entertainment or recreation to me - makes games much more interesting. I would assume a professional would do exactly what you describe.

You would assume wrong.

[gman2114]

No money in 2 & 3 as the juice is to high to cover a 30% ml move.

I'm Hitting 45% of my picks since joining SBR and showing profit. Straight betting is easy with time and understanding of what sport(s) you can win at and which ones you need to pass on summarized by the term discipline. The other mentioned talents of yours Fishhead require much effort, time and concentration. As you know, it is difficult to maintain any fun filled job and personal life while grinding.

Yes, many professional gamblers make their living simply by bonus whoring, scalping, and middling.

Lay off the crack. They're called hacks, not professionals. It's not 2005 any more, Fishhead.

Difficult.......perhaps a tad.

In the grand scheme of things however, would disagree wholeheartedly. The reason being is that many "grinders" have provided themselves with a very confortable lifestyle that they are very happy with. I guess you are right in a literal sense when you state "while grinding".............as when grinders are in the zone, there is no time for anything else. But, they are able to make lots of free time for themselves and mose seasoned grinders are very content with their lifestyles.

[The General]

Before the UIGEA and Neteller fiasco's, Fishhead was as good a bonus whore-scalper-middler as I ever seen. We worked together for awhile and he proved to me how good he was. He does know the ropes, but yes, the availability and ability to pursue these methods were tremendously dampened due to DOJ interference.

Good answer, Sir. You stated it best right there in reply to my remark.

[Fishhead]

Good to see you posting more GENERAL..........I hope everything will get a little better for you then they have been in the past few weeks.

I know for a fact that your a strong individual, so know that you will come through in flying colors, as you have done all your life.

Thanks, my friend.

[statnerds]

i made enough to buy my $1,200 sectional sofa and a 52" HDTV. but that was the problem, i kept taking money out to buy shit instead of letting it grow. now i am on a steady increase in my bankroll and keeping it all out there. which, at this point isn't much money, but i don't gamble with what i cannot afford to lose, and i had to start somewhere.

damn if i had that $2,500 as part of my BR today!!!! asshole!!!

who has the time to do 1 and 2 and 3, for min profit. i am proud to have finally arrived at grinder status, realizing that no homeruns exist. 10 units here, 20 units there, 5 over there. it adds up.

I just don't think it's worth it to bonus whore and get kicked out everybook that offers square odds. Unless you could find a book on the other side that will consistently pay you regardless how much you win.

Not many books will throw you out..........most welcome the action.

Thanks Stat. One of, if not, the best thing I ever did.

Betting is more of a challenge and more risk. There is no risk in scalping and middling therefore its not gambling.

Scalping,middling just doesnt do it for me. All the thrill is in finding that one strong play and having a chunk of your hard earned cash on it and then waiting for, watching and hoping that it comes through. Gambling releases dopamine to the brain making me feel very pumped up and good. Scalping does not.
The challenge is a big part of it but the gamble (risk and chance) of getting a higher payout is greater.
but its very important to never risk more than you can afford.

[Karayilan9]

Here is a sure thing Fishead,

Champions League
Manchester United v Bayern Munich - Over/Under 2.5 goals

Over Expekt + 108 / Under SBObet +116

Its Champions League so the limits will be higher, a few thousand on either side for an easy 6% profit

[Yi]

Betting based on getting the best lines and handicapping is more exhilarating than scalping/bonus whoring because it truly makes you feel like the 2% of degenerates that could actually win long term against the bookie.
