      agreed. There are thousands making a living off of this. It is a job like anything else. It takes discipline and a lot of hard work but it can be done.

          How about you post this in general discussion next time instead of the service plays forum?

                I have been for the past 2 years. Money manage and have discipline in order to do it. Never bet more than 15% of your bankroll on any 1 play no matter how much you like it. That's how I have been able to do it.

                  You won't make a living off of betting sports if you follow touts. Do you think they'd be touting and selling plays if THEY were making a living off of betting sports?

                  It CAN be done, but it's not done by many. I would guess there are an extremely few people who make a living by solely getting their income from betting sports. And those people that do, would not post on some crap message board. They'd be too busy trying to get down on lines and cap games. Btw, I'm not counting poker. Obviously a number of people make a living from playing poker.

                            Lots of people in Vegas do it. Billy Walters for one. It safer to make a living thru sports betting than playing cards imo.

                                  Tell me your ******* kidding. I doubt more than 1% make a legit living out of it. Thats rolling mid to deep 5 figures every year

                                        I've been doing it for a few years now, but betting on sports IS NOT my sole income. I do it to help pay for rent and bill monthly to free up my main income for savings and vacations and other stuff and it's been great

                                                                    I think you need to define "living" - when I graduated college and was used to "living" off of $20 per day - hell yea I could make that at the books - but I would say less than 1/10th of 1% actually make a decent living gambling. Decent means you are in the upper 40% of the income bracket in your area - at least that is how I would define it - cause making $100k in San Francisco is a ton different then $100k in Alabama. I admittedly do it just for some fun - up some years - down others - but my biggest winning year was 3% of my total income for the year - and never lost more than 1.5% of my income for the year. I stress enough about that amount - can't imagine if my mortgage was riding on it how I would feel!!
