#326 Posted: 3/10/2013 10:38:41 AM Much respect for anyone who tries. But why not be honest from start to finish. This started out as a great thread a year ago. Now its all fluff.
$100,000 / 12 months = $8333.00 per month made.
From 2k to 100k in 8 months. Do you have some kool aid for us to drink?

#329 Posted: 3/14/2013 1:03:49 PM I live the dream you're talking about. However, it really is more a labor of love. Every single day, I look at every game in every major US sport: baseball, football, hockey, hoop, both college and pro, both side and total. I might find two plays on a weekday (sometimes zero) and four on a weekend (sometimes only two). You can do it. But it requires a single-minded dedication, a short memory and an unshakable belief in yourself. Once you listen to the sharps, or worry about covers experts, you're dead.
Here is my most important tip: JUST PICK WINNERS! once you get involved in the spread, you're dead. Coaches don't care about the line (though many believe they do), they only care about winning the game. If this means having to play a two-teamer to drive down the chalk, then do it.
I would say "good luck" to you, but it's important that luck be kept to an absolute minimum. |

When you have a family especially if you have children, they are gonna get in their fair share of mischief, this can get very costly if you take them to the ER or urgent care, Children need stability, they should have a pediatrician. In order to get this stability, Health insurance is a must. |

#338 Posted: 5/23/2013 12:00:23 PM I have done the bankroll math hundreds of times....
At the end of the day, there is just not enough money in picking sports wagering at a few hundred bucks per pick. Unless a guy can lay at least $2500 per pick, safely within the confines of his bankroll, what is the point? Is it really worth busting your butt for a year to be either +8k or -8k?
The fact is, there will be long stretches of breakeven action...and this is the action that kills you...months and months of breaking even. Not losing, but not WINNING either. I have seen it first hand in commodities trading...you end up working your tail off for 60 hours a week, and come Friday you are at breakeven. It wears you down mentally.....to the point where you just want it to be over; just some sort of resolution, any sort of resolution. This is what makes most guys quit.....the time that goes by without any proof of success.
That being said, it can be done. You just need the cash, smarts and patience. If someone truly loves to bet sports everyday, and can stand the stench of Vegas for more than a few days at a time, then go for it.
Just take enough cash to make it worth your while. |
