How many of you here making money from gambling?

If you win 50% of the times, the juice (takeover) of 10% would kill your bankroll, slowly but surely.

How many people tried to "make a living" from gambling and ended up paying up big debts?

The fact is the vast majority of people don't win in gambling. Is it because they make stupid choices?

Yes, I could have bet 1000 euros on the UNDER between Washington and Indiana, I ended up betting 200 euros plus another 70 euro parlay (which cashed) ... so the choice was mine ...

Are those 188 euros I would get back from winning going to solve all my financial problems? No.
Am I going to lose them if I bet again? very likely ... at least I would lose each bet 20 euros if I bet 200 ...

So it can go like this win-lose-win-lose:

200 (betting 200 - winning)
380 (betting 200 - losing)
180 ....
342
142
270
70
133

That's it, I would have only 133 euros the further I would bet on each game with 200.

The only way to "beat" this system is to either win the mega million lottery or win a very big parlay, I'm trying sometimes risking a few euros on Baseball but it's impossible to predict 12-15 games correctly ... but if you can do so then you do win a lot more than you risk ... it has less potential to harm you financially and more potential to win ... but again the odds even here or with the lottery are always, always, stacked against you.

if I'm not mistaken, you've got a pretty sizeable bankroll at the moment, amirite, DKHTB??

Are you making income out of gambling?
If you do for how long has it "worked" for you?

I have a job but I've made an average of almost 15k/per year from sports in the last 4yrs. Last year being my miraculous season with profits of 32k (80% of it  from baseball)

That's not bad ...
Are you betting sides in baseball?

mostly  sides. I was truly fortunate to have been riding the Dodger's winning streak last year. The unders in the late games also proved to be very profitable.

Get on a streak and don't get off man... I made a ton of money on the Detroit Pistons overs also, Also was in love with the Minnesota twolves overs .. I miss these teams

I am like Capt... live play is where the money is

I never thought about it, but riding on a winning streak of a baseball team is not a bad idea ... in fact some teams have a 10-0 winning streak.

I've never thought about that, but again, it's hard to predict it and there can be losses on the way ... however it does make some sense that you are going with that momentum etc.

I do admit I care more about the time I am losing from all this rather than the money itself.

Been betting for 12 years strong, started having winning seasons last 4 years by betting small and staying humble... Losing by the hook can change everything...keep in mind.

look, if you're going to do this, you need to understand some very important things. #1, there are going to be a lot of losses, 40+% of them. don't think or believe that you can hit 60+% long-term, it's not happening. #2, juice kills. 10-9 at 100 a play -110 is up 10 dollars. 9-10, just a 1-game switch, is down 200!, a 20 times loss over winning! you must win 6% percent more than losing just to stay barely above even, 53-47 over every 100 play. an absolute grind for the player, and goldmine for the book.

Its not about gambling here bros!

u got to fix something else... its a deeper problem...

The good news is that your AWARE of it!

The bad news is that you may fall back into it someday (hope not)

Its not normal bros to gamble money you don't have and bet huge amounts like you did... 

Find pleasure in sports (doing), Ladies (doing) lol or something else

WE ARE ALL ADDCITED TO STUFF ...

Moderation, balance and awareness  

Dude, I would have taken the over in the clippers game as well..It didn't hit cause the game was fixed... A lot of money on OKC and over  vegas is  and .. Just like on Sunday big money was on The Clippers.. This series Vegas is cleaning house

dontknow just don't get it

Noone says anything about the Pacers game where Copeland went crazy in the paint being down by 25 and the refs calling ticky tac fouls in the final 2 minutes for the free throws just to go over the late total of 180.5   .. That was a obv fix on the total man just open your eyes

I am up about $4500 in NBA playoffs since April 19th beting at the Southpointe in Vegas

And you have only 1 post?
Way to go (double meaning).

There's nothing to "get" - not financially and not physically.

If you want to continue betting by all means I won't stop you, but I'm just telling you I got sick and tired of gambling. It's disgusting, it involves so much dishonesty, cheating, rigging, lies, anything you want you just name it ...

Gambling doesn't make a person a better person.
It usually makes a person broke.
And it usually makes a person concentrate on nothing in life but just stupid stuff.

You wanna be part of it? by all means.
I documented what I went through and for me that was more than enough. I got fed up of gambling.
