Obviously you have a good thing going and dont share it with anyone ! Consider 90% slime out here, and the slimyist want your picks and your money.
I been doing it since my dad gave me a football card when I was 10 / 1975... Only a hobby and over the past years I got good at Golf and Football, actually building a good bankroll...
For years I bet the horses, slots, etc. and lost some, but never continued on really hard...
Sold the old cards too fro a long time at different jobs, so that made money.... Overall probably above even because I always quit when I hit big, slot, or long shot trifecta, etc...
Keep building a bankroll and hope that it goes legal in 5 years or so. Then you can do it legit and get rich, building on that same money... Wouldn't that be awesome... in 10 years you have 100K and making 1000.00 a week on it.... 20 years you have 5M because
Sorry for such the long post in advanced, but its worth a read.
I am somewhat new to covers and am also looking to add reliable friends on this site that are modest with their capping and like discussing games. Not really looking for plays or anything bc i like playing my own game unless im really chasing haha. Also Not looking for ppl that hate on picks and have no theory behind it, we're all on the same team here....I'm Not really sure how to add or follow ppl yet, but we will figure that out soon enough....
I am going to start posting my nba picks more frequently since ive been running well for a little over a month now...maybe also start keeping a record but i dont think im that serious about it yet hahaha.
BUT THE MAIN REASON I QUOTED this is because Im a caddy that just got into sports betting and i have a lot of great GOLF picks and would like to share them and also receive yours. I almost BANKED on mannesero and molinari last year for first round leader in the pga championship at 80-1 and 100-1. I cant remember which one it was since I bet these two golfers very often since they have a ton of value behind them.....But rory finished -6 and one of them finished -5 and i was pissed....I really want to start betting golf this year...
But anyways, back to the original post about how i started gambling. Started caddying at a young age and learned how to play poker in the shack...I was consistently one of the better players and made money at the shack and house games with friends. when i turned 21 I used to think grinding 1-2 at the casino was an easy way to make money, which it can be at times, but on a consistent basis I find it difficult to keep going up overall...especially after hitting awful beats and trying to chase that money back against solid players who are not likely to give it back that easily haha. Plus getting sucked into table games is the worst. I find A LOT more value in sports betting if you know what your doing...
Im best at capping the NBA because its the easiest sport IMO to follow on a day to day or week to week basis and find certain trends or spots that you like for teams...plus being a former high school athlete of the sport doesn't hurt. Im a little better than decent at the NFL but thats such a tough sport week to week.....I want to start getting into college hoops but its so hard after last years talent that was across the board...I was so into the NCAAB last year when the NBA was shitty due to tanking....Kj mcdaniels killing it in philly, what a steal hahaha.
Ive recently built up 3 bills to a little over 2 nice ones mainly from hitting some huge 3-5 team parlays in nba....Ive lost a handful of them but more than likely i will go 3 for 5, or 4 for 5 when i lose. Its rare i will lose more than half of them. With that being said, i know parlays will eventually eat back at your money that you have made off of them, but my logic is i would rather risk a low amount of money on huge payout 12-1 and 24-1 odds, than start betting single games big and go on a cold streak and diminish my bankroll that i recently just built...And since im somewhat new to "serious" betting, i could use all the extra practice before doing so...
IM VERY UPSET THAT I DIDNT SLAM THE PACERS -5 TODAY SINGLE HANDEDLY....somebody was talking about not being able to pull the trigger when their gut told them to....I KNEW the lake show wouldnt keep it within two-three possessions after a hard fought win in mini last night...pacers play good defense and have a way better front court that would kill them on the boards... Instead i put them in a 3 team parlay with boston -5 and chicago +2.5, in which chicago (my team) ended up killing me....
Chicago might have been a gut play since they are my team, but i really thought this pick had no bias involved. The Bulls were clearly tired and didn't fight....I could go off all night about how rose cant shoot from outside range to save his life, and plays no defense but whats the point...he needs to stick to getting to the rim or pulling up with his runner.
But thanks for the read if you got through it
