    Best MLB Handicapper?
    I'm a college student looking to make some extra cash and I'm sort of new to the sports gambling world and I was just wondering who were some of the very good and respectable handicappers out there, especially in the SBR Forums.

    Thanks

        Get a education and bang hot chix while in college. Gambling can wait, once u start, u'll be stuck in front on the computer 70% of the day.

                  And like i said I'm "sort of new" to sports betting and I have been using my own picks and looking up stats and matchups, but I was just looking for a little help from people who professionally do this.

                      Well i plan on just making SBR picks to test out how I would fare with real money first. I'm not stupid, I wouldn't go into this blindly and just start using real cash right in the beginning.

                          Stay far away, I have monitored this site for under a month. 95% of the members are losers.... and they claim to be experienced bettors.

                          At the end of the day, it will kill your GPA once you start getting involved. Get your education done and start making money the real way....

                          The most alarming thing is that all these guys eventually start chasing..... I've seen so many posters keep on making massive bets to make up for past mistakes putting themselves in a bigger hole.

                          On top of that even the so called "TOP CAPPERS" are losers in the long run..... I mean take a look at people claiming +xxx UNITS for the season but have lost in previous seasons..... NO POINT.

                          Nobody seems to walk away..... LOSE a season and no matter how big the loss be back for next season, it is an endless cycle.

                              Yeah I'm afraid of getting sucked in and losing alot of money. I haven't started using real money and I plan on doing this JUST for fun right now by making free SBR picks. I was just interested in this forum because I love sports and everything to do with sports.

                              But i was just curious, what percentage of people, do you think, actually do make money off of sports gambling?

                                -EV. your time invested in gambling now, will affect the amount of money you can make in the future when you graduate. Stick to school and poon-partying.

                                      About the same % of business owners that actually make money in the longer term (approx 1%)....Vegas is a mind game first and foremost. You gotta understand this intimately if you ever even think about trying to make nickel and dime from this caper.....

                                        Sorry son but they come and go (dependent on time of season).....As far as handicappers go, from personal experience firstly weed out the pretenders from the 'real deals' around here....Expect only maybe 2% of us to be consistent...I saw in a thread yesterday that beatthejerk is someone who is consistently solid here, along with fishhead (esp tournament time), pimike, tennisbabe, lakerboy (for hoops) and rochestertitans is another that comes to mind (college hoops). Essentially those that have the most views in the subforums...Remember, just because every game is available to bet on doesnt mean u should...This is how vegas WILL take ur $$$......GL

                                          If you're in college, the best bet you can make is on getting your degree. If you really want to be a good gambler, take as many math classes as you can - try to get at least one on each of probability, statistics, and discrete/combinatorial mathematics.

                                            trust me im just doing this for fun (right now) and im doing perfectly fine in school. the main reason i opened this thread, and only question i was asking in this thread was what handicappers are the most helpful and which ones are the most respected. I don't need anymore people telling me to focus on getting my degree. I'm doing this in my free time when im not studying and im perfectly fine lol.

                                              Nobody knows what % are winners but I expect a very low %. And the winners out there invest a lot of time and energy. Most of the time the % profit is not worth the time.

                                              Losing is losing..... that's easy. The odds are against you. Winning...... there's so many factors involved here.... You can win one month, lose everything the next. So many variables involved... You're good at one sport, can you stay away during the off season NO. People hit wild plays and then lose it all the next. When do you increase your wager amount? All a sudden a small loss becomes a big loss.

                                              Honestly the only way to develop any skill is do it yourself but very few have the brain to do it, and either way a lot of luck is involved.

                                              People here are trying to sell their picks with slightly above .600 average...... that is praised here. Conveniently they have placed bigger units on WINNERS? Winning 6 bets and losing 4 gets you no where. The time is not worth it. Then you have people with a record of 8-2....... okay unless you bet a large amount what have you made? A week's worth of minimum wage in a LONG period?

                                              Track the HOT CAPPERS and find out for yourself over the long run. Don't even tail them, just make your own record see how they do, soon you will find out it isn't even worth it!

                                              No matter what you think the amount of TIME wasted is inevitable. When you're in school you already have enough time wasted.

                                              Here you are sitting after class, you placed several bets, no WAY in hell you do not monitor the game through out the duration. Whether you are in class or not you will always monitor the game.

                                              Another thing is a lot of OLD MEN here like to play the game of pretending to be a high roller online. ROLLING in cash..... don't believe this crap. Most working low wage jobs, why else would they be wasting the entire day here?

                                              And don't fall for BS people trying to sell you a site.

                                              Find me a capper that actually works, if you do let me know.

                                              Think about this making $20 bets on a game. Even at a 500% return, you only make $100........... And how many people are even making 500% return a month? People here think this figure is incredible.

                                                          One thing to also keep in mind is with baseball winning percentage doesn't mean crap. You can be 70 percent and be even or you can be 50-60 percent and be in the plus. Baseball is all odds. You can use them to your advantage.

                                                            Make sure you have enough money for a decent bankroll if you want to bet $25 - $50 a game you should have at least a $2,000 bankroll saved and put aside. Post up at a couple books preferably ones that offer low juice and compare lines before betting. Open a Matchbook account for the best lines possible. Pick 1 or 2 sports to bet on. You cant win playing every day multiple games. I would wait until football season to start and study up until then.

                                                              you dont need to be on computer allday just follow certain threads (biggdogg's) and choose few bets daily
                                                              Always put your money on straigh bet! (no parlays teasers)
                                                              %5 %10 of your bank.daily 1-3 bet and you r gonna get double the money in the end of the month

                                                                I don't believe baseball is a sport for 1 or 2 games a day. Its not spreads. You play more games and work the odds. I play whatever games I like and its usually between 4-7 games a day.

I don't need anymore people telling me to focus on getting my degree. I'm doing this in my free time when im not studying and im perfectly fine lol.
                                                                  What does it matter who are most helpful or respected? Why would that matter unless you wanted a free ride. Pay your dues, put in the time, do your own work.

If you tail them lakerboy, shoebox, and paco in NBA, pimike and tennisbabe in baseball, tennisbabe in tennis. There are other good people out there to learn from. Just bounce around and get a feel for it. Bet sbr points to start and then but a freeplay once you get enough points. Good luck
