    Here is why you will NEVER win in sports gambling
    The oddsmakers are more experienced/more knowledgeable....I learned this the hard way and I will never bet again.

        You have already stated that you bet crazy parlays on a regular basis. THAT is partially why YOU will NEVER win.

        Do you even know what +EV means? Have you ever tried to build a Model? UCONN is -170 tonight on the ML... is that ML "fair"? If so at what % should they win that game?

        You can't answer these questions! and that is why you need GA!! Get a life.

          luckily for me i am not trying to beat the oddsmakers but rather the idiot that on the other side of my bet who thinks they know more than me, which happens a lot less than they need before they surrender. good luck!

                That wasn't the question Tebowl. I don't need your advice. Do yourself a favor and pick up a Stats book, go take a finance class... You are the "pick up the paper and point out a winner" type. You help pay the light bill in Vegas.

                  Offshore is much sharper than Vegas and will eventually put them out of business for good.

                      ok whatever, have a good day...if you want an easy win, easy money , take UCONN moneyline, regular line, alternate line, it dont matter....The REAL outcome will be UCONN by more than 7

                          I think its because most people are: never up enough, always down to much. Poor money management leads to mosts demise. I have long periods of great money management, followed by short bursts of sloppyness, where i am pushing and pushing, never satisfied and when I lose a couple big plays, it is unacceptable.

                              I love when people make this thread as though they have just discovered some previously unknown truth.

                                  I love the posters that act like they consistently win. As if they are actually "sharper" than Vegas.

                                        i dont think theyre more knowlegable, they just set lines where they think the public will be split. Doesnt mean they think the final score will have a difference of that amount. Vig and tilt are two factors that contribute to the majority of losses in sports betting IMHO.

                                          this is way you suck at gambling. You believe very strongly that one result will happen and nothing else. You gotta be prepared to get things wrong. You also said it hurts too much when you lose money you can't afford to lose, then your dumbass for gambling with money you cant afford to lose. You shuold never gamble money you cant afford to lose 100% of.

                                          Sounds like you match the definition of degenerate gambler, and yes degenerates NEVER win.

                                              the OP is Tebowl, do NOT EVER call him Tebow. Tebow is Jesus Christ, and will lead us to the promise land. This OP is clearly not on his level. You better not insult Timmy like that again, or else..
