Huge crack down this past two weeks in Brazil, 75 indicted just in the state of Mato Groso. Lots of heat right now in that racket.

bluehorse..
That's a fair enough point I suppose but me personally, I'm not trapped behind a desk.
I still maintain that unless you are a member of the Lucky Sperm Club, having steady income that does not rely on your AA not getting cracked by KK or whether or not Jameer Nelson can fully understand the situation and play appropriate defense (lolz) is the way to go.
I'm actually curious now. How many of you don't have a job (sports wagering not included)? Can someone set up a poll for this?
Also, I'm not knocking sharp sports bettors who make a living out of it. All the power to you. But don't f***** come in here and start a thread calling people with jobs "fukkin losers". F*** that.Comment -
Lock,
If your 9-5 job is what you love doing then all the power to you. But you know the 9-5 I am talking about, and described in my original post.
For many here, the money they are making gambling far exceeds what they would make working 9-5, and this more than compensates for any health benefits.Comment -
Gotta' love those threads where a bunch of degens are telling another bunch of degens how best to live their lives.

plz have done before 2;pm faakin meetingComment -
What is the % of people who really enjoyed going to there job every day? 5%! If it's more that, more power to you! Just disciplined to wake up and do it every day! It's a no brainer that I would stay home every day if possible! Just like Mrs Monkey does! If I could make a living doing this I would be in heaven!
Most of you guys really are just gambling? Living an enjoyable life right, not in a trailer and ***t? No offense, just asking a serious question! Like to bust balls, but never want to in regards to loss bets! This could be someone's sole livelihood! Finding out in the last 6-8 months knowing sports but still knowing jack about gambling?
Sawyer, more power to you and with a fine family to boot it appears! Love the Stooges! Sounds like if it's not totally gambling for you, you could be a great motivational speaker! Buddy, I fall under #3 catagory! Monkey goes directly to cage after work! My wife said with your attention spand this was my perfect name for SBR! One thing though, Monkeys can be well trained!
MrMonkey
PS So I can be up to speed, Willie Bee, can you PM me a SBR list of degens? Hopefully Sawyer is not on it! Thanks!Comment -
Yeah sitting in a meeting while bookmaker is releasing numbers is a lot of fun.
FUK WORK!!Comment -

I agree with Mathy here, usually most people that work 40 hr work weeks are fukkin jerkoffs. I can work a electrical job like 3hrs in AM and fuk the customer real good by using old wire, used power boxes, ect, ect and charge them for new shit and make a days pay in 3hrs and then g to the fukkin track or play dice somewhere. When your in your own business you can fuk the customer real good as most have no clue what your doing. There were so many times when I got called for a job to fix a plug and the thing actually just had to be cleaned out or wires (conductors) were apart. I pretended it was a big fukkin job and got them for $400 and all I did was re tape two wires and polish plug.

It all depends on how much the job pays. One thing is for sure. Those who work for themselves usually put in a lot more hours than those who don't. And that includes gamblers.
If you knew that you would have to belong in the top 2% in any field to even make money, would you go into that field? And do you realize how much people get paid to be in the top 2% in fields other than gambling?
Typically the best way to make money is to have money, or real estate, make it for you, but that does require some capital. So if you have a job and place it in a larger context, you are already working on a much bigger deal.
Simple jobs help develop qualities that are necessary for bigger achievements. In the end it's all about the qualities you have developed and who you have become, and how you've impacted others. If you have love in your heart, it doesn't matter what you do. If your mind is constantly worried, it doesn't matter how much money you have.Last edited by Dark Horse; 06-12-09, 01:14 PM.Comment -
LoL, I think I'm getting famous
Just kidding, I'm betting 500 per game right now.. To place 20k, I need 500k bankroll. Very fantastic.. Maybe I can lay 20k when I hit 65 (if my heart allows that)
Hey what's that around your neck btw? Are you wearing a toilet paper LoL
I think anybody who says "I love working 9 to 5" is lying. If you were rich, would you still go to job? I don't think so..
I would prefer playing golf, walk my dog and play guitar. You're working like a slave all your life and after 65, they give you freedom&money. What the hell i'm gonna do with my freetime after 65 LoL?Last edited by Sawyer; 06-12-09, 01:12 PM.Comment -

I wouldn't say your a loser, a lot of people have no direction in life and they settle for a 9-5 job. When I was a kid I told myself that I didn't want to grow up and see what I saw around me. I went to many years of School , three Degrees and now I am very successful and living in one of the most desired places there is. Own my home, own business and answer to myself only. I do work around 60 -80 hours per week but it is not really work to me because I enjoy what I do. Never settle you can achieve anything if you really want it.המוסד

Plomstein, nothing was given to me in my life, I was in debt over 100k in School loans, I made everything I got by myself and bank loans... God Bless you and your plays. I will say my last name probably helped me with my loans. I am proud to be a Jew that is from Toronto. God Bless you and your plays.המוסד

Yeah, and its the 40 hour a weekers that are the jerkoffs. You're pathetic.Originally posted by Dark HorseComment -
this thread is hilarious. what do you do for a living mathdotcom and how many hours a week do you work?Comment -
wait, some of this is like professional gambling. I found that when there's money to be made alot of the same classless low lifes come out of the woodwork. Just like in business. So you're not dealing with a boss. But you're dealing with all kinds of assholes. Casinos, books, other gamblers. And you're at the mercy of luck and opportunities that may or may not presesnt themselves.
I agree, say no to work if you can. **** the man.bird bird da bird's da wordComment -
Mathdotcom = great poster

I have a great job and my schedule is flexible and my boss is a good friend. However, I owned my own business for 15 years and could do whatever the f*ck I wanted to whenever I wanted to.
Working for "the man" is just not the same.Comment -
Listen to Dolly Parton's "9 to 5" song, it explains all

Video coming soon (as soon as I repair my broken cam)
Instead of video, I like to share one of my articles with you. I like writing blogs/articles about sports betting and money management, here you go!
FIVE MISCONCEPTION ABOUTPRO HANDICAPPERS
1- THERE'S NO GUARANTEE IN BETTING
Well, let me ask you is there a guarantee in your daily job? Millions of people are being fired everyday and it's not only because of their performance. Today, companies are getting smaller and smaller in order to survive in capitalist/competitive world.
Let’s say you decided to run your own restaurant or build a farm. Every businessman becomes successful? I know millions people who end up broke or closing their company..
Yes, there’s a risk in betting as well but here everything depends on you, your bankroll management and your approach against losing. If you have a proper money management system and some skill in betting –which only %55 would do the trick- you can make a living by betting!
2- HANDICAPPERS ARE ANTI-SOCIAL PEOPLE
Do you think that people working 9-6 are social-like-crazy? Let’s say you come to home at 19:30 and you will go to bed at 23:30. You have only 4 hours for your social affairs. I have some friends who start job at 08:00 AM! Not to mention, night shift jobs, extra work, stupid night meetings, cocktails etc.
Not to meniton, some people are working in Saturdays too. Think about it, you come to home exhausted and tired and will you be motivated to go theatre, cinema? Dinner, tv, sleep will be your lifestyle if youre working 9-5 and you will enjoy your weekends with sleeping because you will be tired to death!
On the other side, betting gives you lots of freetime. You can go playing golf, go fishing, cinema and meet new people. Not to mention, you’ll meet other bettors too!
3- THERE’S NO END IN BETTING! THERE’S NO RETIREMENT!
Do you know that an average man gets retired when he hits 65 age? It’s even 70 in some countries! On the other side, you can end your betting career whenever you want. You can get retired at 40 or 50 but why should you retire of something that doesn’t take that much time?
4-SOCIETY DOESN’T HAVE ANY RESPECT FOR BETTORS!
WTF! Who cares about damn society? You can be sure that they will be your dog when they see your Ferrari. No matter what’s your occupation/job, everybody will treat you well (they will admire you) if you’re rich. Being a handicapper is like being a rock star. You have a talent and it’s not an ordinary job that everyone can do. Everyone can become a teacher or a banker but not everyone can become a handicapper. It requires a true talent, will and discipline.
5-IF YOU WIN TOO MUCH, YOUR BOOK WILL LIMIT YOU!
Why stick with a single book? There's many many books on earth. Use multiple books and spread your action.
In addition, there’s exchanges as well which you can win money forever because when you’re winning money in exchange, you don’t take your bookmaker’s money. They are earning their commission so they don’t care who is winning. I never had any limit problems with Betfair and Matchbook.
Conclusion
Betting and Gambling are different things in my book. If you’re playing with a money that you can’t afford to lose, if you’re playing with your food/rent money then you’re gambling. Nobody wins everyday in this industry but as long as you hit over %53 (maybe even less if you have Matchbook) you can make a decent living. However, it's not everyone's cup of tea. Definetely, it's not for everyone. It requires lots of discipline, patience and a good bankroll. I'm working 9-6 right now and I must admit that I don't like my job anymore. Business life was great in my first years but by time you figure out that you can't stand this all your life.
Still, I need my job to pay for my living expenses and in order to keep my bankroll. I can't use my bankroll for my living expenses right now; I should build my bankroll, never withdraw! So I'm afraid I will work at least for 2-3 years, maybe 5, LoL!
I hope you enjoyed my article. Maybe we're sharing the same goal, same dream, who knows? Let me know if you made it someday. GL! (because you'll need it ehehe)
