Possible To Make A Living Gambling??

[brahmabull117]

is it possible to make a good living gambling ??? (100-150,000 a year)


i have been gambling a bit on NBA recently (Got back into it after a long break) and have been hitting around 65-70% of my bets on 15-20 bets or so. Most of my wins have been by a huge margin so I know it's not luck


this is something Im very comfortable with. I feel like i was born to be a gambler but Im still gambling relatively small amounts



i wanna start making at least 10,000 a month doing this. Am I crazy to think this?? will sportbooks kick me out for making too much money???

[doublej95]

if you are basing your success on 15-20 bets then you need to sit down and do some thinking.

[OmgUrMom]

you are crazy to think this, dont lose everything you got pal. thats what happens to most people that try to go pro

brah i'm hitting 66% on basketball, a sport that i feel like is pretty unpredictable


i think i can hit 70+% when football starts, which I feel much more comfortable with



I have never done something that I felt more natural with than sports gambling

[Br0nxer]

no its not possible son

this is entertainment.

unless you can read the future

[OmgUrMom]

your not going to be able to hit 70% in football over a large sample, unless ur doing moneylines.

You are delusional, please call Gamblers Anonymous, its the best thing you can do

[brahmabull117]

there's gotta be people who are rich doing this



why can't I be one of those people??

[JohnGalt2341]

I'll bet you any amount that you want that you won't hit 60% of your NEXT 100 ATS or O/U plays. You can post your plays in this thread.

[nyplayer33]

very very hard.....

[Nats' Fan]

It's definitely possible, because there are many people out there who do it. You just have to have one helluva starting bankroll.

[Br0nxer]

there's gotta be people who are rich doing this



why can't I be one of those people??

there are maybe 10 guys walking the planet that can do this. year after year after year

you are not one of them

well I know I can hit at least 60% of my bets in football, which is plenty to make a huge amount of money

[brahmabull117]

Guys we're getting off topic here


my main question is are there guys making huge money (150,000) a year doing this??


i know it's hard, i just wanna know if it's possible

[Rich Boy]

Anyone that uses the term "brah" cannot make a living gambling.

[success]

To make 100-150K per year you need

1) Have a starting bankroll of at least 25K which you can afford to lose
2) Have another 20K min in the bank or in other risk free places
3) Never risk more than 7.5% of your balance on any any one day and more than 2.5% on any one single play
4) Have a winning record on sample of at least 1000 games for any sport that you want to bet (before you begin betting from the 25K roll)

the number of people consistently making 100k+ per year over a reasonable long time is definetely not in the four digits, so you would be part of a rather exclusive club if you could pull it off

I don't buy this line of thinking at all



to me, you're either a good gambler or you're not. It's not a technical skill that needs to be learned after a million repetitions (Like say hitting or pitching in baseball)


if you're not good at gambling after say 50 games. Playing a 1000 games won't change anything, you'll just lose more money

Of course there are. I'm not one of them(yet) and I seriously doubt anyone has ever made this much their first or second year.

What exactly is your plan of attack then.

[brahmabull117]

What exactly is your plan of attack then.

go in with about 5-10,000 dollar bankroll and fukking dominate every night

[captrobey]

I think it is possible but you have to have a good bankroll to do it.

Watch the movie "Casino":

He made his first bet when he was
years old, and he always made money.



But he didn't bet
like you or me.



You know, havin' some fun
with it, shit like that.



Where the hell
did you learn how to deal?



He bet like a fuckin'
brain surgeon.



Place the checks properly.



- That's the way you do it.
- Yes, sir.



He had to know everything,
this guy.



He'd find out the kind
of inside stuff nobody else knew...



and that's what he'd put
his money on.



Even back home, years ago...



when we were first hangin' out...



he'd know if the quarterback
was on coke...



I'll take Columbia for .



- if his girlfriend was knocked up.
- Twenty dimes on Columbia.



He'd get the wind velocity
so he could judge the field goals.



He even figured out
the different bounce...



you got off the different kinds
of wood they used...



on college basketball courts,
you know?



He'd be workin'
on this shit day and night.



There was nothing about a game
he was gonna bet that he didn't know.



Ace got down at six.
Get me down at six.



Season after season...



the prick was the only
guaranteed winner I ever knew.



But he was so serious
about it all...



that I don't think
he ever enjoyed himself.

Watch the movie "Casino":

this movie did indeed inspire me

I have been gambling for a while. Even the best handicappers have slumps. How will you deal with such a slump? Emotional discipline and risk management are very important. This can not be determined by a small sample. I did not say a million, I just said a 1000 games. Most likely one needs more.
If I would have a million in the bank, I would bet you 200K that over 300 games in any sport ATS your % will not be greater than 58%.

[jjgold]

man this guy is going to end up losing his house and car (honda accord)

Son the only guys that grind out a small profit are scalpers and middlers and all the time they put in it adds up to like $10 per hr only

Bet recreational Son and have fun

slumps result from guys who lose their confidence and start making poor judgements on games


I'm almost machine like in my analysis of games. I don't give a sh1t if a couple games don't go my way, I come at it with 100% confidence and clarity the next day
