    Whats a realistic monthly income for a succesful bettor?
    How much money realistically can a successful bettor be making? And from someone not from Vegas just betting online.



    1. By "successful", let's just say 70%. Just assume he is getting "lucky". Okay. So just assume it's he is getting "lucky" and is hitting 70%. Because it is possible. And we are talking about 70% of spreads with juice -110.

    2. By realistic, I mean how much he can actually transfer to his account every month off his winnings. So making million dollar bets is not realistic because books wouldn't allow that and it would take a while for the money to all get to you.

    3. Next thing to consider would be bet size and volume. Betting volume 15bets/month. Betting size? He has $50,000 in his bank-roll. You can based on that determine how much he should be putting on each bet using your bankroll management estimations.


    What would you estimate he realistically and safely be making per month at 70% (Lucky)?

      Notice I said 15 bets/month. You're saying no one hits 70% on 180 games EVEN with luck?

      No one has ever had a 70% run over a course of 200 games? I'm pretty sure with "luck" you can do that.

              You are successful if you break even.

                Far too many variables within your question to allow for a meaningful answer.

                First of all, as has been said, no one hits 70% except for lying Touts who release plays on both sides then record only winners or that guy Morrison who use a system so potentially disastrous. The best that ever lived did not hit 70% and he knew it was an impossibility, even in past times, when it'd have been closer to doable but now is a different game than then.

                You're daydreaming. Stop it. You'd do well to spend this time handicapping.

                If you think you can hit 70%, allow us to enjoy this ride with you. Start a thread all your own in the right section and post your plays. Read NOTHING thats placed in reply by anyone, just pop in and post your plays then GTFO.

                You post this thread here making noise about "70%", in a tone that makes it obvious that you think you can do it, a tone in fact that is such that you know you can do it if after this you won't "take a shot" and start the thread I describe above my disappointment in you will be VAST.

                Go for it, whats the worse that can happen?

                Just, remember.....

                do not read even one single letter of anything anyone writes in reply to the thread. The earnest will contact you via PM. Just post yer plays Big Boy.


                You might be the one.

                  What variables are left that you need to know?

                  In this thread, I said 70% by "luck". Is this impossible? Has 70% never been hit by "luck"? I don't want to make this another thread about me hitting 70%, so I have said "70% by luck". This is possible. So assume it.



                  So with 70% (by luck or skill), and all the other info I provided, how much can one realistically make per month? Or what else do you need to know?

                    I don't need to no anything more. "Variables" pertained to your initial bankroll, unit amount, # of units played (strategy, money management) and most of all the level of your discipline.

                    Others here could say if anyone has hit 70% in winning the Hilton Contest.

                    If ever it was done that would have been where.

                    Any question (or plan) that assumes "luck" is immediately, automatically nonsensical.

                    My suggestion of a thread for your plays was not meant in a hostile, "in your face" way but the opposite actually....a joyous one like:

                    "COOL!! You have confidence, give it a shot, allow us to witness"

                    cuz if you did that, made a thread and hit 70% therewithin you'd be Legend.

                    My request for a thread of your plays was not meant disrespectfully. Typed Net words are emotionless thus lame

                              70% at -110? Couple million a month. Of course that's not close to possible.

                                      Yes I wouldn't either. But what does that have to do with the thread topic?

                                        I gave initial bankroll, unit #s, and left unit amount up to you based on bankroll management. Disciple is also up to you. So all variables are present.

                                        The thing is though, I don't want this thread to be about the 70%. It's not. It's about the money that comes after it. So maybe you should read this question,

                                        How much money can a person who hit 70% ("luckily") in 1 month regularly make?

                                            No one has hit 70% with 15 bets/month over even a 3 month period? All I'm asking is how much money does that guy (assume he got lucky) make?

                                            This has been done before and is nothing impossible here.

                                                This is different. I'm not talking millions, I'm talking realistically. And I'm assuming here 70% by luck for you guys.

                                                  Why do you care

                                                  you spend 15 minutes a day picking games based on "you superior knowledge" of the game

                                                  The guys who win it's a little more complicated then that

                                                  the odds are against you

                                                    Hey dumbass....Can't you do math by yourself.


                                                    50K bankroll.

                                                    15 bets per month @ -110 juice, hitting 70%.

                                                    You already know you're hitting 10 out of 15 bets per month.

                                                    5 losses equals -550...10 wins equals 1,000. Net 450 per month X that number by however many units your betting.

                                                    Your welcome, it's 6th grade math.

                                                        Congrats for failing to see the point of the thread



                                                        The point was to suggest a % of my bankroll to bet in each game. And winning is only HALF the game. You didn't even cover that half correct (by failing to mention how many units per game), but the other half is actually getting paid. So how much can a book give you per month, and will they actually do it? To be honest, the 2nd half is what I'm more concerned about. Not all of what you said.

                                                                There is no point of winning if I don't get the money lol. We win to get the money. So it's really all about the money. Like I said, winning is only half the game. But for some reason people just care about that half.


                                                                As far as "winning" goes though, posters have sent me PMs asking how I win 70% and some picks. I have explained to a couple of posters how I hit 70%, how others don't, and I think it's a convincing post explaining why I can hit 70%. Some others have also requested picks throughout the season.

                                                                So if you want to know why and how I think I can hit 70%, PM me. I'll give you the detailed explanation. You'll be convinced.

                                                                And no I'm not going to post it here because that is NOT what the thread is about.
