How hard would it be to make/clear $2k mos in sports wagering?

[UT-Longhorn]

To be honest, I dont wager on sports to strictly make money, granted im disciplined when it comes to serious wagering, big unit plays, but then just goof off with daily action just to have action with .5 unit, .25 unit stuff which in the long run tends to take a little from my main bankroll. I still havent re-upped, for two years now, still playing with the mans money. But I was just wondering, if one was to get serious about it, and be super discipline, how hard would it be to make $2k mos do you think? What size would your units typically need to be if you could hit 60%?

Haha, what direction would that be?

Me? I think if you win the first week of the season, you should pack you bags, and call it a good year! This is a very hard thing to make money at, and I know I have made a ton of cyber-enimies with my sentiment that winning on football is about 90% pure horseshit luck, but I will stand by that statement forever.

 

[UT-Longhorn]

haha.......I SO agree with that.........

yyz, stop spewin crap. Speak for yourself, not other people. YES sports betting is very difficult to win at for a myriad of reasons, YES very few people do it over the long haul. But it is a constant learning process. I personally, Havent kept records all of my life, but I very well am probably down a little, but that also includes when I first started and had no idea. YES, refs phfuk things up in football. Ya know what? You conviniently forgot to mention how many games are blowouts vs the line, and dont come to refs blown calls. Try and find the spots with 55% advantage, as many as they are if theres 5 or 20, and bet them. Over the long haul, as long as you flat bet you can come out ahead. It takes a great feel too though, and very tough thick skin, because $hit happens and u need to bounce back. Nonetheless, Look at fletcher, and some other guys I have known and heard of, They do it, People do make money, just not many people, and it truly is hard earned money with the mental things you deal with!

Those who make money at sportsbetting on a regular basis OBVIOUSLY know something the rest of us mere mortals do not know.

They may have identified some type of information, and when applied to a matchup equation is able to determine the probable winner more often than not.

Maybe the info is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Maybe it's likened to not being able to see the forest through the trees.

Whatever it is, the successful handicapper knows and is able to use this info over and over again with predictable results.

I wish it was me.

Right now, it ain't.

And if I knew the secret, I'm not sure I would want to give out time-tested and proven handicapping methods in cyberspace.

It doesn't do any good to get peeved because you can't figure this stuff out.

And btw, Fletcher has one big advantage over the rest of us...

he's a robot.

why wait a month? just put $30 on my 7 way tomorrow (Pitt, Cubs, under Milk and LA, over TB, MN and S.Miss +10.5).

or find that hot dice shooter on a roll and ride with him for an hour.


Well, let's say you start out with $1000 bankroll. Hitting a measly 60%, making avg 4 plays a day, betting 4% of bankroll on each bet against the -110 line, adjusting it after 30 days---you'd make $768 first month, and $1,357 the second month.


why stop there? do it for 12 months (assuming yer mix of dogs and faves in MLB avg -110 as it should) and you'd end up with $932,797. Start with $10,000 bankroll and you'd have over $9 million dollars at end of one year.


you see why all those scammers who say they hit 60% each season own the Ferrari dealerships in town and break the casinos here on a regular basis.


More realistically, you hit 55%, avg 5 plays a day (lots of totals in MLB, NBA, CBB and CFB like professional bettors do--every wonder why those have the lowest maximum bets?), betting 2% of your bankroll each pic. Start year with $10,000 and would have $62,504 at end of 12 months.


hitting 55% is reasonable but not easy. Being diciplined and business-like is rather unreasonable and very difficult for yer avg excitable sportsfan/bettor--and there in lies the real bookie's edge.
