    best tip is save your money

    stop betting daily, take a break from gambling.

    Get a good job and save as much as you can.

    That is step 1.


    Step 2... study film, the best advice I can give is watch as much as possible of whatever sport you plan to bet.

    There are certain things you can see on film that will never show up in the box score.

    have savings and money aside for emergenices before even starting as big bear mentioned. do not bet to supplement your income. bet for fun and if you win you win.

    number 1 tip in sports betting - bet set amounts based on bankroll no matter how much you like a game

    Take out a loan. No sense in risking your own $$$. File BK if needed.

    Step one is good but you went full retard on step two. Work hard and invest your money. Gambling is for suckers only.

    I'd say stay away from starting threads titled "25K on Houston" and then later stating you only had $10 on it..... Not a good look for your brand.

    Treat like a business

    Do Not drink or do dope while capping or watching games for live bets

    Require many outs and multiple assets on hand.( cash,bitcoin, bank account with verifiable wealth income)

    Pick and know your spots, If you feel a # is off, get info on it and watch the fluctuations. DO NOT FALL IN LOVE WITH A GAME OR TEAM.

    Know your book/bookie. Cant make $$ without being able to collect $$$$ and rapid collection goes both ways on the streets. No fukin stiffing!

    Keep track of ur shit.

    I will reiterate rule #2. Keep ur head out of the bag, leave the whores on the corner and the bottle at the store untill u close shop for the day. If not u r ruined in no time

    focus on ur best sport at the best possible time.... i do that with the NFL playoffs / cfp

    i didn't even have to fade seaweed these playoffs.... i posted a play for packers and 3 min later he made a thread saying seattle would win... auto win

    i pick KC and he says titans...

    i pick KC and he's on the niners...

    was a wonderful month full of winning

    haven't made a bet since the SB... patience and self control or you will lose every year

    No sir. I have zero control. More of a common sense approach to it if u want to survive with the 5 digit plays. Tough to do if ur looking for that rush of felling like " I KNEW THAT # WAS WAY OFF. I AM KILLING IT". That is as addicting as the blow and whores.

    Depending on the amount of $$$ is involved ur gonna need "employees" too.

    I have found the worst mind fuk is watching games. Easier on the mind and bankroll as u dont chase or try to parlay late games to bail out on as u can end up middling urself. Done that with a head full of liquor.

    But like any business, it needs to be able to take an extended financial hit. Most of us feel like we got fuked over when we lose by the hook ( Tuesday night Baylor 2nd half -1.5 @ Texas. Texas player rolled over top of Baylor player but ref no called foul and let Baylor dribble out 11 seconds. Baylor wins 2nd half -1. I was furious) or lose period.
    My action is under $25 -$100.

    the title of the thread is about becoming a professional gambler.... no?

    your response in my opinion was what lacked intelligence.

    You could say becoming a teacher or a doctor is for suckers but hey if that is what someone is passionate about why throw dirt on their dreams?
