Assuming all the figures you claim are true (and that's laughable), you basically want to know how to make $1-2 million in less than two years, but taking more than 15min a day to achieve your goal is asking too much? Really? So an hour a day or even 4 hours a day or 8 hours a day for 2 years @ say $500k a year is asking too much? Got to love the American Dream! DUDE, TAKE A HIKE

Well I have been for the past 3 years (NFL/NBA).

I know I can continue that as well. My lock picks hit 90% of the time. Sometimes I just think I should just do those.

But anyways, assume we have a 70% hit rate, then is it easy/hard to make a million in sports betting in 1-2 years? And how can it be done?

The greatest sports handicappers in the world are happy to hit 55% and this guy is considering not even betting picks that he hits 70%.

ehp6737 · 08-26-10, 07:10 AM

Bankroll? $100 per game? $2000 per game? Frequency? Are you hitting 90%

on how many plays per year? 10? 100? 500? These would be important variables to know to keep this entertaining thread going.......

I want to get rich, and rich fast off sports betting. By fast, I mean a million in 1-2 years.

Now I know many of you are rolling your eyes, or laughing, but this is serious.

How would one do it? I have bet a little bit over the last couple of years. I hit 70% overall. So please assume that we have a 70% hit rate. Hopefully this will be the 1st and toughest obstacle to cover to get rich fast off sports betting.

And just to note, I hit about 90% on my "LOCK" picks, and about 60% otherwise on the rest, but I bet more on my lock picks. Last year in NFL I went 13-1 in Lock picks. With these 2 things combined, I hit about 70% overall.

And no I'm no die-hard sports better. I'm a Sports fan 1st. And with my great knowledge in sports, I am able to make good predictions, and make money off sports betting. What I'm basically saying is I spend about 15min/day max on sports betting.

Other facts, I'm pretty good at math and naturally intelligence on topics off sports as well.

So assuming I keep up my 70% hit rate, is there a way I can make million(s) in 1-2 years? If so, how? Online sportbooks? I heard they start limiting your action if you are a consistent winner. Anyway to get around that?

Basically, with a 70% hit rate, how far can you get?

LOLZ...this is funny...so you hit between 70% and 90% but still you have problems understanding how to make money...hahahahaha

I'd offer him -105....not sure if he would know why that number is important but offer it anyway.

If you can hit 70% hit rate on a continual basis then you need to sell everything you own, move to Vegas and put 10% of your bank in action every day. Assuming you play 250 days a year, that is 500 days for 2 years, to make $1 million you need to net $2,000 per day. At a 70% win rate you will need to have $3,000 action per day, assuming you have an average odds of -130 that means you have to put $4,000 at risk every day, so you need a bankroll of $40,000. Make it $50,000 to be on the save side. I'm purposely not counting on the bankroll compounding, so if you actually do hit 70% and you keep your daily at risk at 10% of bankroll you will hit the $1 million mark before 2 years.

Sell everything you own, borrow money, find investors and get off the damm internet and get to Vegas.

As your bank grows your bet size will grow. You can live in Vegas for $600 a month. I did it for a year. www.sidestep.com you will find many hotels for $20 a day. Stratosphere, Plaza, Player's Club, many more.

If you can hit 70% day in and day out you need to stop wasting time on the internet and get to vegas as fast as you can get there.

If you're hitting 70% on generally -110 spread lines, then there's nobody here who can help you. See the upper-right of this page where it says Sportsbook Review? Click that, go through the A- and B-rated books, pick you out 3-4, make your deposits and then make your journey right down Easy Money Avenue.

...yet people are too focused on the 70%.

That's because the same rate has come up via another poster who is currently suspended here. We're a wary lot of posters at SBR, and newbies coming in with big success stories are only going to raise that wariness. I wish you luck, though it doesn't sound like you really need it.

Addicted2Action · 08-26-10, 11:09 AM

you guys need to stop hating on the kid, he does after all have a whole year of gambling under his belt and dont forget he has vast sports knowledge!!!! who the fuk are you to tell him he cant hit 90% on "locks" 70% overall when he has proven it to himself over a whole 10 plays that this is possible and in fact easy....

Dont worry ssk, we are all just very jealous of your uncanny abilities as lots of us have been doing this a very long time and can only dream of the incredible success you are about to enjoy!!!!!! Ignore the fact that everyone here has probably went on better runs than what you are talking about (if anything you said is remotely true), you will find out soon enough that is all it was, a nice run, impossible to sustain for the common man but for someone with your special gift probably very easy!!!!!!!!!

Just a hunch, but i would guess you are not in danger to being cut off by any books anytime soon...Keep putting in those grueling 15 minutes a day and im sure you will achieve your modest goals in no time...

I wish I was naturally intelligence too!

Cheese1976 · 08-26-10, 11:26 AM

Yes, I too am naturally intelligence on topics off sports as well...it's unfortunate (tragic really), that someone so gifted at handicapping paradoxically cannot figure out how to calculate compound interest on a bankroll.

d2bets · 08-26-10, 11:26 AM

OK, fine you can hit 70%. Let's assume everything is -110 odds, right? And you want to make $1 million in 1 year. We need at least to know:

1. Your starting bankroll; and
2. How many plays per day.

lordswing · 08-26-10, 11:34 AM

Move out of the US and deposit into Pinnacle

Here is how you do it.

Assumptions:

70% win rate @ -110
150 bets per year. This translates into 3 bets per week, easy to fit into anyone's schedule and includes a two-week vacation anywhere in-between as well.
$65.00 starting bankroll which hopefully is not too aggressive an amount.

Full-Kelly based on the assumptions above is 37% of bankroll per wager.

Assuming that you won 105 (70%) of your 150 wagers, your bankroll at the end of those 150 wagers would be:

$1,012,339.75

For only $65, this is a worthwhile experiment IMO. Go get 'em and BOL.

Joe.

Don't forget those lock plays where he hits 90% Kelly suggests he has a 72% edge over the house and recommends betting 79% of his bankroll on those plays

Easiest way to get rich in sports betting is by hitting a $100 16 team parlay.

why are you asking us? if you hit 70% why are you even here? move to vegas already

statnerds · 08-26-10, 01:11 PM

and if you prefer to continue on with this 70% claim, how many of your plays beat the closing line?

hokim · 08-26-10, 01:26 PM

How many bets do you make in a year?

That number and hit ratio determine the expected outcome.
