Aspiring full time bettor

**Alfa1234** · 05-23-18, 04:05 PM

I wouldn't worry about limits untill you actually do get limited. If you don't bet "soft" odds, meaning odds that are priced too high compared to the market or odds that are about to drop, you'll be fine at most books.

If you bet mainly football, SBObet is probably your best bet as they have high limits, they don't ban or limit winners and have a lot of markets.

There are better things to aspire to while also gambling on the side.

i am a resident of the UK and it is my ambition to one day bet full time for a living. I have been researching looking for a reliable highly rated sportsbook that either won’t limit me or have high limits available to UK residents. I have looked at bet brokerages but they’re either outside of UK residency or a bit suspicious? I mainly bet on football all around the world including smaller lesser known. Any advice or help anyone has would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

BetCRIS.eu takes relatively large bets and does not limit winners quickly.

Thanks for replies but I don’t think SBObet or betcris accepts UK residents unless I am mistaken

Think of it like this, you are trying to beat the fastest man in the world at the 100 m dash and giving him a 10 m head start.

Good Luck

Think my biggest task will be finding those who’ll take high stakes on the lesser known, youth/women’s leagues around the world. Thanks everyone for positive comments and good luck wishes

Depends what is a high stake for you

If you want to bet 4 digit average on those markets you still can do that but you need to have more than one or two books but rather up to 20-30 I would say, shitbooks included where you don't know if you get paid in the end. This is part of the game.

I'm wondering that you think about going full time when you don't even know the market yet

One step at a time

That is part of "finding value" in a line and necessary to be profitable. Odds are not on your side, since 1% of people betting are profitable long-term imo, and then less than that make a decent income. Then you have to deal with the bs from Bet365 and other corporate books who offer unique markets with plenty of value/upside in their lines, yet once they limit you then it's over. On top of that, mentally tiring and difficult to handle down swings, such that you don't tilt and blow your profits. Having good bankroll management on top of being mentally strong to deal with the swings is like half the battle imo. Basically, don't take the risk if you're not comfortable with a losing outcome.

Are you betting with what you think is an edge, or arbing.

If its the former then use any reputable book you can find, and line shop.

If the latter, that ship has long since sailed.

**aliceinchains** · 05-25-18, 09:52 AM

Of course it's your choice but I wouldn't rely on betting for living as I don't have 100% trust on any of the bookies...there is no guarantee what will happen, none of them are 100% dedicated to customer satisfaction. One day something happens and they are gone

**Roscoe_Word** · 05-25-18, 02:50 PM

As a full time sports bettor, wouldn't Las Vegas be the place to be? (I know it's too hot in the summer.)

Are you just lazy & don’t wanna get up & go to work for yourself or someone else ? Is that your problem ? It was mine a couple years ago when I went “Pro”. Your ambition & patience has to be more. Oh that’s easy I’ll handicap for a few hours & then do whatever I want for the rest of the day. I’m telling you it takes a hell of a lot more than that. This wil the biggest challenge of your life to be successful @ this & you need a proper bankroll for starters to allow your high stakes wagers as you say.

No, you won't ever gamble for a living betting only women's or youth leagues. Beat major sports for five years (tracking at a third party monitor), then consider your options.
