What's The Average Income of A Sharp Pro Gambler????

[John Dough]

One of the dumbest threads I've ever read here... and that's saying something.

[itgsports]

If someone plays something like 50 games a week, betting $1000 per play, and hits 55%++ overall he/she should clear 150k. They would need a sizable bankroll, good money mgmt, time and patience, and a calm demeanor. It would require lots of hours but probably no more than any other career/job producing that sort of income. Plus the ability to pick totals, lines, spreads, and maybe even props possibly for multiple sports.

making 50 wagers in a day

Pretty much every Saturday September thru February

[durito]

who moved this nonsense in here

[CanuckG]

stop looking at mathematics and evaluate the matchup



this 1-8 matchup was the most even 1-8 series in the history of the NBA. Memphis went 38-22 their last 60 games (an incredible 63% winning percentage for an 8 seed), they also played very well at times against the elite teams and they played extremely well all season vs San Antonio splitting 4 games



I knew Memphis had a great chance to win this series pretty much from the beginning. San Antonio is a very small team inside and their offense is highly predicated on 3 point shooters. Well guess what??? Memphis is a very good interior team with 2 bigtime inside scorers and several terrific wing defenders



that's what I mean by logical analysis

Because you were the only one to know that, right? Great logical analysis.

[wiffle]

let's say you're in the top 5% of all sports gamblers in your ability to predict winners and manage your money



what sort of income are you looking at?? 80-150??? 200+??



I actually have a high paying sales job as it is, I'm just curious if pro sports gambling is a real career field where some people can get rich




edit: serious responses only please guys, take the joking nonsense to another thread

50 games per week and you say to have time and patience?

[vyomguy]

98% of the SBR posters haven't won more than $5000 in their lives in sports betting. Obviously, they are skeptical about people winning 200k in a year. You are talking to people who almost never cash out. Spend you time more wisely instead of making these posters understand.

[itgsports]

Canuck,

You would suggest otherwise? Or that 50 games per week is unreasonable?

[Legions36]

Yeah this guy is gone GJ Shari i actually believed this guy for a sec now im mad i went threw this whole 4 page thread for nothing. My game is poker and sports, gonna add in a few extra income investments soon.Plus im able to go back to college which i should have finished 6years ago, if i study no reason why i shouldn't get A's and B's wish me luck guys i just started last week some summer classes to get it done faster.

7 plays per day in a week seems way too much. I find it hard enough to find 3 plays that I'm REALLY comfortable with. I'm not going to take a play because it seems pretty good. When you look at every possible aspect/theory/angle you're going to find out that your wagers on a daily basis will happen less and less but your profits will go up and up.

Makes sense...going 28-22 has the same affect as 7-3 really. Maybe with more plays you have less variance when it comes to a really bad run.

i really want to believe I can make money betting sports...seems like unless you put a tonne of effort into it it's impossible to beat....

isn't that true of any business ?

[Foosball Champ]

From 10 years of betting offshore. If you beat a book out of more than 10k. they will take action against you. limit your action boot you take away internet bets etc. so if you win any significant money you are going to get booted. Now that being said, with exchanges you could theoretically keep winning and would be sustainable long term.

[Kaladarus]

[Preston09]

The top 5% does not exist.

[Hareeba!]

The top 5% does not exist.

just can't wait to see the mathematical proof of that

[Inkwell77]

You have to live in Vegas to make any decent money.

From what I have heard runners involved with the big syndicates/huge players make about $1,000 per week during the football season. So 20 weeks would be a $20,000 profit for a runner, but you have to remember these dudes are working 7 days a week 10+ hours a day during the football season.

[John Dough]

This thread is just getting worse and worse. Kudos to Shari for getting rid of the OP. Now just lock the thread please.

You can't bet lots of games? You get booted for withdrawing 10K? You have to live in Vegas? You have to have a mid 6-figure BR? You have to be part of a syndicate?

Where do you guys get this stuff?

The best question is why am I even still reading this thread, let alone responding?

[ByeShea]

if u have a 500 k bankroll, you should be making millions

Brahmabull still lives with his parents and beats off in the basement for fun.



Anyone care to take the other side of this proposition? I'll give odds.

[magynuck]

for somebody genuinely interested in learning these threads are useless because there are more people giving advice which is opposite of what you should do....anybody who is a winner will never tell u to limit the amount of bets u make

Come on man. What's this magic 10k about? Depending on book this could be far less or to infinity more. With that said the truth lies somewhere in-between.

any more pics of the cool chick in your avatar?

[goblue12]

Quite amazing how many people call themselves "pro gamblers" in Vegas who have absolutely no clue.

But it's OK because they have some guardian angel funding their bankroll.

[suicidekings]

edit: nvm

[alling]

18-4 during NBA playoffs or over a 2 month period aint shit. Assuming odds of -110 works out to 6.8 units per month. Stick to your day job.

You should team up with Brahmabull. Oh wait...

[Ice House]

Bramahbull .... what company do you work for ? and what do you sell?

[Ice House]

I ask not to be nosey but I would like to pursue a sells a job that pays 150,000

[Demonata]

I believe it's good to sports bet and have a job. Just think if you work full time and make even 30k a year than you make around 50k sports betting all the sports betting is free money. Than make enough money to put it in a bank cd and make guaranteed money off the interest. After you have enough money in bank cds than you are set. I sports bet to get enough money to invest in cds etc. Not too mention it's fun and makes games more interesting to win. Some sports are so easy to make money betting on. Such as tennis where if it's a big tournament like Wimbledon and you bet on the favored player as long as the line is 1.5 you can make good money because the favored players almost all win in the first round. I made around 10 k betting on the first round of wimbledon.

[magynuck]

I guess the implication is I am Brahmabull? Well that is ludicrous because he has no clue it seems(went back and read his posts in this thread). My point was that any professional will tell you when you have an edge bet it. You do not limit yourself to an arbitrary amount of wagers. During the busy season not that difficult to get 100 bets down on a Saturday or Sunday. I do this for a living. At this point I make 200k+ a year. I work hard enough but great room for improvement because for me the #1 draw is the flexibility it allows me to do things I wish to do. Your analytical skills are less than amazing.

[Ice House]

magynuck you do this for a living?

care to start sharing your picks?

[korbal29]

IMO it depends year in year out about outcomes but I will say maybe around 50K should be reasonable
