    Up several thousands. I'll take it. 2022 was a good year.

    NBA and MMA betting saved me. Didn't have a bad run in the NFL either this year. MLB and NHL betting a wash pretty much. Not doing better in the MLB in 2022 was a surprise to me though. I'm usually very good with MLB betting every year.

    up in sports overall about $3100. i do better when i don't post the play weirdly.

    factoring in casino losses when i was in AC though, including playing on the apps while in my room like a sucker, i am down like $6300

    Up every month except August. Not as good as last year, but still pleased. Confident next year won't be as good. Diminishing returns in effect.

    The first sentence is the right way to approach it. It's just bad karma to post plays. I've done much better since I stopped.

    Good work.

    There's just no benefit to "posting plays". And if any joe schmo can bet exactly what you did an hour later, then it ain't that special.

    ^ Posting pending on SBR you do run the risk of triggering mush forces working against you. We have many mush losing betters on SBR looking in and they can pick up on your pending posting picks then tail and mush ya.

    Still if you are on your game and are super confident in your capping skills you can over power the MUSH powers when posting pending.

    Illini has cash connections to the clergy.

    Short term loans, work for pay, etc with the Decon and some of the monks at the parish.

    Down around 6,000 on the year. Been a rough year but feels like things are starting to turn around

    Posting plays feels like a curse on your picks. I kind of regret starting my new thread of plays. I guess I'm just trying to break the curse, if it doesn't pan out this weekend I'm going to dismantle it immediately LOL. I don't even like telling my friends and family who I'm betting on when we're watching a game. Here's to a new year ,cheers good luck everyone

    Ending with a little over 4.5k which is not bad given 1u is 50 bucks for me. Actually even 6.5k since I withdrew 2k to buy a dog. Most of the winnings came from UFC and soccer. UFC has really been my flagship money maker hands down. Only had 1 losing event, the rest have been solid at worst, mostly pretty tremendous. Hit so many huge underdogs in the non-PPV fight nights. Football/soccer I only focus on a handful of leagues which I follow and watch regularly.

    NFL is doing alright when I don't get smart and stick to spot betting only. NHL and MLB are too unpredictable and I don't really follow it enough. NBA is a garbage product with spoiled overpaid fukks, so I also rarely bet it.

    At the end of the day all winnings will be spent on my dog, upcoming medical bills and what not, so sports betting is more of a hobby, if I win it's nice, if I lose it is what it is. I find it boring to watch sports with no action on it otherwise I probably wouldn't be betting at all.

    We hired a few people to help me count the winnings of this year. We are in the basement and the bags of money we have to count is a lot.
