Is It Possible to Make a Living off Sports Gambling?

[ACoochy]

I'm not this guy, I dunno what the f*ck you're talking about. You can ask the mods to do an IP check if you want

OP it's possible, the hardest thing is bankroll management. Most people lose cause they don't have bankroll management, myself included. only bet 1% of BR on every game

You forgot to mention u drink more juice than a pregnant woman expecting triplets, hence y u work for books..

Its what they want you to do Brahma....Get a real clue pal...

[tony_come]

How old are you The Shook Ones?

I'm 28. I fell in love with this pretty much the first time I ever did it. Nothing more exhilarating than winning a big bet. Don't worry though, I won't do anything crazy. I'm very responsible

Are you kidding? I would never do this unless I had at least 2 year's salary in my bank account in case I fail miserably and have to spend a while looking for another job

In my opinion 57% over about 400 events especially betting moneylines is too small of a sample

My avg play is maybe about 105 to 115 so it's the same as regular betting. In terms of sample size, the odds of hitting 57+% on a sample size of over 400 is just astronomical if you were to flip a coin. My guess is that it's less than than 0.1% so I don't think it's only attributable to luck

Would sports books really allow somebody to make a million dollars doing this? I figured they would cut you off if you even made 150,000

[Ra77er]

Yes, they will limit/boot you from playing if you are that successful. If your on a message board asking about doing this for a living....then its obvious that you still have a long way to go. You aren't even close to doing this part time let alone full time. Spend some time reading, bet with points etc...

Well I've got a 400+ sample size that I did very well in. That's a big number for practice. I don't feel like I need any more practice, although I continue to read everything I can and improve myself as much as I possibly can

If your're not a Ghost and being truthfull- Get that needle out of your arm now. Bet small/points- You will better off money wise in the long run.

Turn into a sponge and learn what you can if you want to take this seriously. Players talk is for the beat down vets of this hobby that have seen it all (tried it all) and are just looking for some social spot to ease the pain of losing for 20 + years. Look elsewhere for knowledge, once you've been in this game a while you will eventually come to the realization that you aren't going to pick enough winners to buy a happy meal.... then proceed to player's talk. If you really have a knack for this, we shouldn't ever see you around here again.

Why do you guys have such negative attitude about this stuff? There's a guy in this thread by the name of Acoochy who is hitting 70% against the spread, why can he do it but nobody else can?

[greenhippo]

Nima?

[jbart28]

God dammit man if you mention that you have a sample size of 400 one more time....

400 bets aint shit!!!!!! I can make 400 bets in a month of baseball. When you get to 40,000 wagers report back your winning percentage and total losses/profits.

Keep your day job

[Avenger]

Nope

[peacebyinches]

yes, ty jabart

Op if u wanna learn more then hit me up on the PM...GL

400 plays is a huge sample size. Take a class on probability, the odds of that being just luck are non existent at less than 1%. I'm not saying I'm a master handicapper, but I imagine I'm above average if I can maintain a percentage that high over a sample size of even 200. Also if you're doing 400 bets in a month of baseball, I don't know how you're making much money. I find it difficult to beat Vegas betting even 4 games a day, there's just not that many lines where they are off

Don't gamble

Has that boat pushed off with out me? Is that what everybody thinks about me know? If I’m happy with right now, not giving up my life to start the planning for a decade down the road-then I guess I must have missed some lesson. Maybe it is not growing old that sucks, but just feeling that you have to act it. That act could make you miss your life. Well, I’m not planning ahead to look back wishing I could go back. No careers and the domestic will come my own terms. So you can take that boat to where its nice and deep, out to where the boat will sink and it wont be seen again.

[MexicanStallion]

Can you make a living? It's probably possible, but very unlikely.

Your best bet is to gamble for entertainment and hope for some side income. Just keep plugging away with your style since it has been successful to you. Make a thread in the sub forums and share your plays. Best of luck

[Duff85]

Shooker, you can make a living using alt spreads with live betting IF u understand the sport ur capping enough...

Cooch we know nothing about Swedish Soccer - but we makes good money on it. :-)

[Duff85]

I treat gambling like being a sniper...Can wait and wait and wait some more but eventually when the target is identified and engaged il make the 'kill' more often than not...

Only way to look at gambling imo...GL

Cooch is a good sports bettor - but I do the exact opposite - we spray the board upwards of 1,000 bets a month with the whole idea being get money into play and grind out a 1-2% edge. Both ways work - but you need to figure out where you have an edge and how to exploit it.

I hate "the grind" of betting a bunch of plays a day. You're just not going to outsmart Vegas on 10 plays a day. Your best bet is to pick out 1-3 plays a day and try to hit 55-60%, or in Acoochy's case, hit 70%

[Darkside Magick]

3 is the magic number, yes it is, it's a magic number!!!!!!!!!

My question is: if you KNOW this or KNOW that, what REALLY are you asking? Produce (like you say you've been doing) and enjoy your winnings. I don't see why anyone would ask for help, if they're winning...
