betting 365 days a year

[loyd]

i know the NBA runs from october to april with plays everyday, how about the other sports? combining all american sports is it possible to have action everyday all year round?
of course its a question to those who are betting for a living, i don't see how you can live from betting if you cannot "work" 5 months every year.

[Hareeba!]

Why restrict yourself to US sports?
Tennis for example runs for at least 11 months p.a.
Golf is on about 50 weeks
There is soccer somewhere 52 weeks
Racing never stops
No excuse not to bet 365 days p.a.
and next year I'm hoping to make it 366

but I know of a few punters who specialise and work on just a single sport and just enjoy life the rest of the year

I had at least 1 bet going every single day of 2010. Not that hard if you're serious about it and don't take vacations.

tennis is too unpredictable, it depends on the form of one person, if you get it wrong, you lose. federer/nadal have odds of -1000 which is a really bad deal. soccer have the possibility of a draw which means when you choose one team, you have to bet on it and on the draw, paying the juice twice.

Tennis is a gold mine for those who gamble correctly (fish for weak lines by monitoring line / arb services).

good grief! amazing how many ignorant people come on saying you can't win at this or you can't win at that ... earlier in the week it was greyhounds, now it's tennis

BULLSHIT

I've made a living betting on tennis for a few years now


and even soccer!
you don't have to bet the draw as well ... you have the option of laying the team you don't want to cover that eventuality
and I don't suppose you've even considered AH?

what's next?

[allabout the $$$]

christmas eve also used to be a day with no sports events on it but that changed a couple of years ago

You earn enough just from tennis?

[Hareeba!]

how much is "enough"?
can always hope to do better
the point is that like anything if you work hard enough at it, it can be done
only the lazy and ignorant believe otherwise
it takes hard work to qualify and succeed at any profession .. punting is no different

[King_Suckerman]

Enough to maintain a reasonable standard of living. Or is tennis just one string to your bow? And, yes, "reasonable standard of living" is relative.

i suppose you're right, but at what point does THAT become the focus over value? i'm not saying that's the case with you, but at some point that's what it could become.

tennis is my main game but I play lots of other things too

[flyingillini]

Before online I had a local. I bet 365 days a year and I haven't missed a day placing multiple bets on sports in over 18 years. I have had surgery, difficult times etc etc and I get my bets in. I can't remember a day where I just bet a couple games either, always a bunch. I bet a ton of Soccer, tennis and anything and everything there is to bet on.

[Vegas_bond]

Six months of daily games in the NBA, and six months of daily games in the MLB.

[thespeculator]

i hate all star breaks, they interrupt business

[Salamander]

You can do golf matchups for Europe and PGA tours 4 days a week 50 weeks a year.

you don't have to call me ignorant! i considered laying but that makes the odds too unfavorable, to give you an example with 2 top league teams playing at home against mid league teams in 2 different sports, when the celitics are at -400, Manchester is at -900 and both have equal chance.

Well..
then prehaps asian handicap would be a better bet for such situations......

top league teams playing against mid league teams at home.
possible lines for Asian handicap ranges from

-0.5 to -2 depending on the leauge....belgian league generally have smaller handicaps...

if not, equally matched team is playing then u could take the pk or +0
if one wins u win , if draws u get ur money back

happy punting!

Well if you genuinely believe they both should have the same odds then there is at least one outstanding bet for you there....

yes and its the Celtics, thats why i prefer US sports. from my experience, NBA has fewer bad beats than the NHL for exemple.
