Is it that simple ?

[TR88]

Most of the gambler like me and almost all of u in here, and just over all 99% are losers. So why can't we just fade ourselves and make crazy money ? If I faded myself today I would be 3-0 by now, not 0-3 right ? Must be that simple I guess

[jayc88]

gamblers lose because of the juice and bad money management and not because they are not able to pick more winners than others

my hotstreaks usually outway my cold ones

[rm18]

money management only the reason if your wagers are +EV, juice is the reason most gamblers lose, beating no juice lines is not a cakewalk but most experienced gamblers would win with no juice even if they are losers.

[tanner40]

Most "gamblas" can pick enough winners. As previously stated juice and bad MM buries people.

[ehp6737]

obviously the vig is what hurts over the long run...but even without any juice most would still be losers....damn the gambling gods

If you fade my sheet your not even winning much

if you hit 52% over 30,000 bets in your lifetime at 100$ a game, you'd be down 24,000$.. and that is at 52%, which is impossible to do over 30,000 games betting your own games.


if you hit 51% over 30,000 bets in your lifetime, at 100$ a game, you'd be down 87,000$.


so you want to fade yourself??? lol. imagine if you hit 50% over 30,000 games, at only 100$ a game?? you'd be down 150,000$.

losing money gambling has nothing to do with picking winners.. the vig just catches up to you no matter who you are.. no matter how good a handicapper you are, you will lose at the end because of the juice.

Damn, that's some crazy stats.

Why is it impossible?

[Nicky Santoro]

Why is it impossible?

it is impossible.. or close to it.. i am talking about your avg everyday gambler who plays games they like.. i am excluding of course players who only tackle bad lines, play steam, etc.. just your everyday gambler.

i'd like to see anyone who falls into this category hit 52% over 30,000 games..

i have 2 words for those people.. GOOD LUCK

[tkim8404]

Damn that's a scary statistic yet it still never stops me from gambling anyways.
