Pay attention to the quantitative factors and less to the qualitative ones. Sports markets are much less efficient then financial ones. If you spot these inefficiencies, you can win long term.

i would think being a bookie yourself would generate more $ long-term than betting yourself

Save every penny for 12 months. Divide that amount by 100, then you'll have 100 units.
Handicap the games. Bet 1-3 units per game no more than 10 units per day.
If you go bust then find something else to do with your time and money for you are a loser as far as sports betting goes.

Bet props...
You wont be able to bet stacks of money per game, but its a small market in which you can find lots of horrible lines that the books just dont care about, because thats not where the money is.

I don't believe in the whole beat the closing number bit, but I also don't believe in handicapping. In reality, the only way to win is to be lucky. This means using a system like Martingale and hoping that streak of losses doesn't come. It doesn't necessarily have to come unless you're playing Infinity hands.

the ONLY other way, is to analyze absolutely every aspect of a game, quantify that information, and compare it to the line, but most of the time, the juice will just cancel whatever edge you believe you may have. not only that, but it's almost impossible to analyze absolutely every aspect of a match

be good at multiple games at a casino...for instance my main game is craps...if i have a 2 losing rolls i stop then move to BJ...if i lose 2 hands in a row on BJ I have Sports handicapping for a 3rd game in the casino. have options rather then lock yourself on that 1 game with your whole bankroll.

Only a few have the right type of personality for this. It's difficult, that is for sure, but it can be done. The whole 10,000 hours thing....

very good info so far
I pick the team I want to bet, before I look at the odds
also guys don't handicap the game, handicap the situation
let me share with you some obvious trends..always take a long hard look at 2nd half lines and look to take the opposite of first half results...these 2nd half lines of course will gravitate to the original line and thats why opposite of 1st half is a winning system..unless there are weather or injuries in play percentages favor the opposites by far...also you should not be scared to bet quarters, those are your edges as a serious player..for football it seems if a game goes over very often the 2nd q goes over..and when the 2nd q goes over its very likely the 1st q went under...there are many other winning trends that you will also pick up on if you are smart and dedictaed to this game....there is nothing more satisfying then finding a trend thats working...also great when you know how to maximize the profit from it...i can recall many a bad weather game where i banged out every quarter under while most only cashed the full game under...i have some trends that work at very high rate in the nba..lets see if they work when the season starts up finally..of course it all comes down to discipline and money management...dont drink when you gamble as thats always a bad move..do your homework.. use your brain..and dont bet scared money!
