    nobody
    You don't need to hit 54% in Money Line sports. What was I in NHL last year, around 49%? Heck, even in baseball, I am having a bad year yet am only down 7 units at 48%, whereas there are guys that if they hit 48% in MLB, would be down 100 units or more.

                  Please read this post again.

                  Nowhere in this thread (or anywhere else) have I said that I hit 54%, 53%, 78%, or that I bet full kelly.

                  Obviously (well perhaps) if one is able to identify sufficient #'s of +EV bets, growing one's bankroll using kelly or some fraction of is quite easy and it will grow quite large. At this point you have to deal with limits sufficient that growing one's bankroll infinitely is impossible -- nevertheless, that's a good problem to have.

                  Nevertheless, there are people here that are making 2,000 bets a year with 1-3% edges and more than likely making 6 figures yearly.

                    1. He already mentioned limits.
                    2. The median was 900,000.

                            Durito, no denying you are a sharp guy so no obligation to answer this question.
                            Do you have a regular job or do you bet sports full time?

                              I do not have a job. My income comes from sports betting and other investments (stocks, bonds, real estate, etc.)

                                These guys will just never comprehend it, durito. It's a waste of time. It's sad. With all the effort that Ganch and the gang put into trying to lead these guys down the right path, they'd rather watch jjgold say fvck 364 times in a 4 minute span than educate themselves. A shame more people don't take advantage of it...

                                    would probably be tougher to make money betting on sports if people generally had a clue...

                                        nobody is disagreeing with durito, the point is, find me the people who win that much and do it every year

                                          no one is doubting that you would make money hitting 54%.. the problem is.. 99.78% of gamblers could never hit 54% over a lifetime.. it's easy to say, but very hard to do.. and like i said, if you end up hitting 50% over a lifetime, YOU ARE BROKE. easy to say you will make money gambling and hit 54%, but hard to acomplish.

                                          accu,

                                          good job, but without even looking, i can bet you put in those bets at best prices, right? no way you can do this betting flat out -110.. if you shop around and get best #'s, then you can pull it off.

                                                Just because you cannot do something, or know someone who can, does not mean that others are not in fact doing just that.

With all the effort that Ganch and the gang put into trying to lead these guys down the right path, they'd rather watch jjgold say fvck 364 times in a 4 minute span than educate themselves. A shame more people don't take advantage of it...

                                                      i realize now my time here is in vain cause their will always be someone nomatter what that thinks they have an advantage and they really dont
                                                      thats why the mlb thread is filled with plays that shouldnt be made
                                                      LOL. You think even 5% of the posters here think they have an advantage? The vast majority of these guys are trying to "pick winners" not look for edge. You are way off.

                                                        good job, but without even looking, i can bet you put in those bets at best prices, right? no way you can do this betting flat out -110.. if you shop around and get best #'s, then you can pull it off.[/QUOTE]

                                                              You can't win picking favorites, yet you still bet them 60% of the time?

                                                              There are edges to be found at all ranges of odds, from -110, to -5000, to +235, or -355. It takes hard work and dedication.

                                                              And with that, I am off to the gym. I've wasted more than enough time here this week, I have work to do.
