Is It Possible to Make a Living off Sports Gambling?

[Duff85]

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%

Vegas isn't smart though. :-)

Good discussion in this thread. I like the idea of picking a couple of solid picks per day rather than 10...

Depends

If you like action you bet a lot of games and lose
If you like to win you spot bet

I like action

[Big_Slim]

Simple answer: If you call living on the street and washing your azz in a sink at McDonald's then yes, its quite possible to make a living betting on sports.

True statement. I like to spot bet.

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

You're wrong. I crunched the numbers and it's actually 46% even if you're flipping a coin. Weird. Your winning was a fluke. You suck--Don't quit your day job.

Brahma's new account?

oh boy. this could turn into a classic burial thread

[tatehill2000]

Heres the catch as to why 400 bets is worthless,,, every sport changes (sometimes small sometimes SIGNIFICANTLY) every dam season. with rule changes, with player changes coaching changes,, this is the catch,,, can you get lucky and have a good year? sure,,, anyone can,, but do you have the ability to modify your systems, or your "eye" on a yearly basis? Most do not have that ability. and THOSE GUYS are the ones that are scalping. and/or useing math only, and not really makeing picks?

anyway, Youve not mentioned the style your useing in making your picks,,, sooo without that knowledge I cannot honestly critique your potential for success, sooo having said that, good luck.

My goal 4 years ago was to be retired this year,, lol,, I am probably 40 years away. lol

Only if you have a 6 figure bankroll

But no one on this board has a 6 figure bankroll, so no, not possible

If you have a 100k bankroll and bet 1,000 per game and grow your bankroll by 2% every month thats 2,000 a month

So you'd make about 30k per year if you were able to do well enough to increase your roll by 2% each month at a 100k bankroll

Not something I'd want to do

[ZetaPsi808]

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

unreal

[paranoyd androyd]

oh shookones you've done it now

[rsnnh12]

oh boy. this could turn into a classic burial thread

HAHAHAHA

I completely forgot about this thread. I fukkin nailed it! Poor brahma

[YorkHunt]

That was a burial for sure

[greenhippo]

Oh My God. Epic fail. I can't even think of an insult funny enough to describe this thread.

[cant call it]

[jjgold]

Lines are too sharp to win

So many guys think they can just look at stats and beat the book
So much easier to get a job and make money

Loser................................... ...

[JMobile]

Ban both Brah and Shook. Bunch of clowns

[Regul8er]

It's not possible to make a living off sports gambling....trust me, it just isn't.
You may be able to grind out a small profit, but it's entertainment more then anything.

Some like to spend their disposable income on fancy clothes, wine and dine restaurants.....some like to lose it betting sports. Don't bet more then you can afford to lose.

[greenhippo]

For those still giving actual responses. Shook is brahma, kid outed himself the other day without even realizing it.

[samgurt]

[ZetaPsi808]

[Darkside Magick]

This thread is some classic loser subconscious shyt...yes you can make a living off sportsbetting...I see people doing it everyday..anybody who say you cant is trying to hit you with their loser mentality

[Balco10]

Nobody wins at a 70% clip over time. Stop asking if it's possibly. Quit your day job and start you're young gambler career. Good luck and lets us know how you are doing by October. Just dont chase your loses!

[Balco10]

This punk hasn't posted in a month. Tells you he finally got a good taste of losing and he chased then got buried into the fuking ground.

[samgurt]

There is no way brahma is real. it's not possible to be so clueless

He is brahmabull117. that's why the thread was bumped

[physed]

Depends on what your definition of "making a living is"
