    or will most books ban you before you can come close to that?

    If you're betting enough to make this kind of money, the sports books will love you.

        Yes, if start with 100k. It could be doubled esp. with Matchbook as an out.

        No, if starting with a few k.

          why do you say that?

          100 k is 10 k a month, which is about 300 dollars a day that you are winning. That's nothing that outrageous

            Well Bookmaker and Pinnacle will each allow you to bet $50,000 on NFL sides so obviously if one was to bet the max and win 2 bets they would make $100,000

            With that said if you are questioning if you would be able to make $100,000+ a year betting the answer would clearly be not a chance

              my question was that is it feasible to do it (do you guys here do it?)??


              I'm actually pretty confident in myself brah... I just started out (have been doing it for 2 weeks and have been betting at around 65%)

                Guys who understand mathematics are capable of accomplishing this, guys who think that because they are hitting 65% after 20 bets on a 50/50 proposition that this will carry on into the future are a bookmakers wet dream

                  I have actually hit about 65% on 140 bets so far (I do 10 bets a day)

                  and what do you mean understand mathematics?? using math to determine the outcome of games?

                    Not really a bookmakers wet dream because they will bust out and lose so much confidence that they quit gambling.

                      If you spread it around to several books it is possible but I'd expect to see your limits cut if you hit a single book for that much in a short time period.

                        there is at least 8-10 decent books out there no?


                        make 2 grand a month on each book - that's 20 grand a month and over 200 grand a year


                        no reason to think that a book would cut you/limit your wager if you are making 2 grand a month

                                  plenty of people wagering thousands of dollars in vegas

                                  why would the online books care?

                                  the more $ people bet is what they want anyways

                                      To win consistently its hard because you need rock hard discipline. Never chase and never get frustrated.

                                      VARIANCE. You gonna hate this.

                                        i would bet the #1 capper on the sbr forum could not come close to making 100g a year. year after year after year. sure someone could make two 50,000 bets and win both. no one on this forum is making 300 a day 7 days a week 52 weeks a year. there are probably less than a 100 people in the world that could make 300 a day. EVERY SINGLE DAY.

                                            I agree with the second part. making $100K is not hard. But to do it every single year consistently is hard.

                                            You don't however need to win $300 everyday though. You just need to be consistent and win the $100k. Some people win $100k in 3 months and maybe take the rest of the year off. But for us degenerates.... it might be tricky lol

                                                  Best way to end up with a small fortune in sports betting is to start off with a large fortune.

                                                        Start on a betting exchange 'middling' or 'chasing steam' (something most books frown heavily upon) public favourites....

                                                        Its only a few % per transaction but with enough liquidity in the market i see no reason y $100k per year with relatively low risk is not attainable...GL
