    My gambling journey begins today..
    I'm 17 and talked my dad into setting up an account for me. Starting out with a $2,000 bankroll. Any long term money management tips for the new guy?

      Stick with well-rated sportsbooks. Don't bet over your head.

      The sharpest gambler in the world can't win if he can't ante up... so don't chase. Best of luck sir.

        See if your leans consistently hit before you bet real money. If you are dead-set on ignoring this advice, bet a small enough amount that if it loses, you don't have lingering mental effects. Highly recommend capping games and locking in your plays before visiting SBR. Good luck...can't believe your dad did this for you. At least you'll have some accountability--maybe?

          17 year olds don't belong on here, wow, unreal.

          Dad's aren't allowed to open up accounts for 17 year olds to gamble. sorry

            I agree. Gambling at 17? Go to school and chase tail. Don't waste time gambling.

                            Well at least now if you become a gambling degenerate who begs, borrows and steals to stay in action, you can now blame your dad.

                                Be prepared to lose this bank and a few more before you ever get on top of the game.

                                Only a very very small percentage of players make it.

                                      Go to 5dimes casino and put it all on black.

                                          Bet wisely, do your homework till you get a good feel on games. I have been betting for two years now and am still learning.

                                            If you are going to bet againt our good advice, follow this one at least. Only bet 1-3% a game and NEVER more than 10% in one day/night on all games combined!!!!!!

                                                  I think its funny that some of you are telling him it's against the law to gamble while it's perfectly legal for the rest of us LMAO! That's why we have to send our money to people with 3 last names, whose name changes every 5 minutes in the Phillipines and Nicaraugua...

                                                  And by the way, you have a real classy dad who's teaching you a vice that can potentially ruin your life at such a young age. Did he get you a hooker and a bag of weed for your 16th?

                                                    You're one of the few who make a living off this right? At least that's what I can see from your posts.

                                                    I don't mean this as a dig but just an honest question.

                                                      asking for long term money management tips tells me you'll do fine, my reasoning being, you obviously know the importance of money management. the rest of it relies on a certain amount of luck. good luck to you beating books.

                                                        I don't mean this as a dig but just an honest question.


                                                        Anyone who says they can make a good living off of gambling is full of shit... Unless you have inside info you're going to keep alternating between hot and cold streaks! Mostly cold streaks! After you have been gambling for a long time (like myself), it's not even about the money any more, it's about being in action.

So what you're saying is that you are probably unemployable and use your unemployment checks to gamble with... I'm sure you're paying taxes with all of your "incOme" aren't you?

And we can go away on trips and I can still bet (as long as we give the "Land of The Free" a miss). We receive no welfare at all and gambling income isn't taxable where I live. If that's being "a true degenerate", that's just fine with me.
