For me personally yes

older harder to make money unlike 20's through 40's

I never thought I would at times bet 10 cents on big parlay payouts all documented here

[hawk 5]

I scaled mine back. I used to bet to live, now I bet to enjoy. Don't bet on every game, every race etc. Bet now when I have time to.

Just won on some Italian guy in tennis. My nerves are shot. He won the first with ease, but missed a million breaks in the 2nd so it went to a tiebreak. Got one mini, and won it. I’m not built for this shit anymore. A decade ago I wouldn’t even have sweated the shit.

Definitely increasing bet size over the years while cutting volume

[RudyRuetigger]

JJ what is your stamina now that you are older in cutting grass? How many square feet can you cut in one day?

Nerves are immaterial. All that matters is finding good bets. Sometimes experience helps. Sometimes getting stuck in our ways makes it harder.

[navyblue81]

The hardest part for me has been patience in betting. Trying to accept losing and not compounding it worse by trying to win it back after a bad stretch of a few games. Even after all my experience, it still is tough. I’ve been better but still have that temptation to go big in that Sunday night game after struggling in the 1 and 4pm games.

[Snowball]

My bet size went down over the years

That is because there are so many more international bets now

USA sports not what they used to be for bettors and everyone knows it is true

Years ago I would only bet 1-2 games a week like most ppl did

The big bet on a -110 is full of worry I don't want

[BigdaddyQH]

My wagering habits rarely change. My income is steady. I have more time to study the games. If anything, I may wager on less games, but as far as wagering goes, I hit a certain wagering limit per game years ago and it has remained the same ever since.

[Sam Odom]

Not betting now... waiting till August

Too old to put the hours in... going to bed earlier , getting up later

More to life than grinding

[jjgold]

Sammy good move

I need to get my nerve back

Already been shown you don't wager BigDaddy, already been shown you lie about making and winning wagers.

Just stop already kid, get your issues right, then come back and try to post again.

Even then, your integrity is shot.

Have a friend who actually made it as a professional sports gambler. He had money to deposit. Deposited $50,000 and bet just one game per week for the longest time. Just did a crapload of research and centered around one game that he felt was a sure bet. Didn't bet anything else. Put $5k down on that one game for 13 straight weeks. Ended up going 12-1. Ended up doubling his bank account and made basically one year's salary for the average person.

Upped his bets some, kept the same strategy and within 8 weeks had another $50k.

It can be done to live as a gambler. It's all about taking chances, being smart with your bets, doing homework, and sometimes getting lucky.

Definitely increasing bet size over the years while cutting volume

I've been increasing bet size due to success and also increasing volume due the smaller edges we can ferret out all season long.

My bet size has reached a plateau across the online world, with some books getting more than others.

Also make trips to Nevada to settle with the houses there.

As long as I can continue to get those +30 units in college football every other year, things are more than fine with plenty of room for error.

That said, we need all the room we can get, because there is never plenty of room for error.

He probably left a lot of winners on the table.

He obviously left some losers too.

I find the volume is better to realize your edges and that if you can positively cap, there is also safety in numbers.

It really depends on the capping style, when determining how many and where to get down.

1k bets which are few and far between make the game a bit interesting

[jjgold]

I cannot even take 500 bets now

Shake like a leaf

If you don't enjoy it for those reasons, you can back off and take a break.

Personally, I've gone through stages where I hate my work, even during times when I'm way up for a season.

Like any job, like any person, there are times it gets old, tiring, and the grass looks greener on the other side.

Having been on the other side, I still stick to the markets, always remembering the long term and realizing the short term is fleeting.

Call me Gold, maybe I can give you reason and motivation to get down again.

[KVB]

1k bets which are few and far between make the game a bit interesting

The game only get's interesting to me when my bets (much more than 1K) go down 18 units.

The challenge is the comeback as the units and bets don't really matter, unless you are betting out of your league or beyond your means.

That's a whole different ball game of stress.

For me, the weekly winning and losing is just the road to a destination. I don't pay much attention...lol.

In the end, money management is what keeps things steady and provides no need for the shakes.

Successful sports betting is not interesting, in fact it's boring as hell and takes patience.

Totally agree Sam.

It's when you don't feel that way, when it doesn't do that to you, that you have a chance to succeed.

I love this story. I'm going to do exactly what he did. Except instead of $50,000, I'll start with $500,000. I will win $1 million by November

Can’t win big unless ya bet big.

You can grind out wins over time betting small and staying consistent you can end up with big winnings after time.. Can hit a huge multi team parlay betting small also..

You don't always have to load up to win big. That's how you can lose your bank roll and then end up reloading.

Embrace the grind and stay funded I say!!

If you are losing gambler, bet a ton of futures when your balance is way up and you'll never have to reload again with that book. Just wait it out and win a future bet you have pending and your book is then instantly reloaded when one cashes.

Betting big is a high better than cocaine but I don’t want it I don’t like the pressure

[Joey Vigs]

For me personally yes

older harder to make money unlike 20's through 40's

I never thought I would at times bet 10 cents on big parlay payouts all documented here

Lol lol lol lol

The cocaine you bought must have been broken. I get the same "high" from betting (whether $2 or $2,000) as I do from watching 1990s music videos on youtube. Both of them are just staring into a computer deciding what check out next. The only difference is one of them can make money. And making the equivalent of a part-time minimum wage job is not a "high"

Nothing wrong w that. Other than the fact you have probably belittled lots of guys for the same type bets! My guess is you called them “hamburgers” ! Lol
