    Which is your main source of profit?
    I've started out as a sports bet player but recently, since about 3 weeks ago I've started playing casino games as well and surprisingly Im doing surpringly well on it. During this time I made $430 profit in sports while I made $2128 in profits in the casino. Maybe i should stop wasting my time in sports and maybe go all in on the casino? Any suggestions?

    Casinos will get you in the long run.
    House edge much higher in Casinos than Sports betting and 9 handed Poker.

      Nothing lasts forever. Casino's will get their money back. Smart players stop when ahead and know when to quit. I usually do well in college football and basketball, but still play just about every sport you can wager on for the rush. Go all in on the casino and check back in 2 weeks.

        If you're up on the casino....quit now and concentrate on sports. Casinos will absolutely bury you in the long run, best to just play for small money for fun

        My main source was always poker and I have been a NCAA football sharp for a few years now

        I do well in NFL and NCAAB........Break even in MLB and buried in NBA

            3 weeks ago, eh?

            Casino is the death. There is no income in a casino, they will kick you out if there is.

                    Knowing your shit about the smaller conferences can really bring in the dough, because no one really touches them so the key is to get them before the sharps move the line. Everyone knows about the big names and big conferences, but you can get lots of raw unmoved lines on the smaller ones.

                      What casino games could you possibly be playing to make you think profits are possibly consistent and sustainable? Zero skill.

                          Jimmy the Greek Snider loved paigow. Saw him last playing that game at the Barbary Coast in 1990.

                              Vegas is an interesting experience for me. I will walk to the sportsbook and buy a ticket for 2-5 grand and then play blackjack for 15 bucks a hand to take my mind off it. Still hate casino games though, even though I seem to profit off blackjack consistently because I will stop when I get up 300 or so.

                                Yeah, definitely true.......

                                I personally love the midweek MAC specials in college football....Overs were hitting like crazy last season in that crazy conference

                                I do make money on smaller conference games, but I love big conference games that aren't marquee matchups.......The Baylor vs. Iowa State, Minnesota vs Indiana, Ole Miss vs Vanderbilt etc type matchups.......Linesmakers get lazy in these games and the public has a tendency to automatically bet the historically bigger school when 2 shitty teams are playing......

                                  Baseball and hockey. Lose at tennis and basketball. Give most of back in poker because I am a calling station.

                                        I've gambled on sports for many, many years.

                                        I've only played poker about five years or so.

                                        Poker is much easier, but luckily, I dominate in both.

                                                The giant is a machine at the tables...


                                                I'll never forget the time the giant stared down his opponent with both eyes closed and giant had scared him so bad and got into his head the guy folded, got up from the table and ran..


                                                Needless to say that guy has never been seen since

                                                  Poker is much easier, but luckily, I dominate in both.

During this time I made $430 profit in sports while I made $2128 in profits in the casino. Maybe i should stop wasting my time in sports and maybe go all in on the casino? Any suggestions?
                                                              My suggestion is to quit while your ahead (both sports and casino).
