Who does this blood, sweat and tears for money, a profession?
Who would stress this much everyday just to put money in the bank?

Are there any full-time gamblers on covers?

If so, who are you?

I have been professional for 4.5 years and do very well....
Id like to know others who do this for a salary?

Thanks for your time....

Show your face's pro's... So i know who is talking the truth amonst all this shit...

Cheers goodone, we talk later.... Need to get the pro's working together. It would actually help the trailers and rookies...

I average $75,000-$85,000 per annum for last 3 years... Made only $11,000 in my first 14 months pro, then it ALL changed...

Been doing this professionally for 23 yrs.

My best advice is to learn why the lines are set the way they are and how the time of year reveals value. For example a line set for a Jan 23rd game in the NBA is not set the same as a line in a Game 6 playoff game in May. Fellow professionals know what I'm saying.

23 years... CONGRATS!!!
Agree with alot of that, But i also know SHITLOADS about the NBA and basketball.... That makes it a HUGE advantage over the bookies...

Personally Referee's decide gamesores alot of the time.  Not saying their always rigged, but some refs just call the game at different paces...

If you do your homework covers rookies there is more consistent trends in Refereeing than there is in Game Results...

Well I don't claim to be a professional gambler by any means (in fact I am a mediocre game by game bettor)

With that being said, I make a pretty decent amount on futures bets such as MVP's and Rookie of the year type awards. A couple months ago, BetED lowered my wagering limits to $25 a bet because I took so much off them during the MLB awards season. (MVP's + CY Youngs)

Safe to say, BetED is worthless to me now.

All I can say is this... A true sportsgambler doesn't flinch whe they lose by 1/2 a point, nor do they celebrate it.... It is just accepted.

OK mate, then I just spend 50 hours a week studying sports.... Then go and pack shelves at the supermarket...

Ok your not a pro mate, thats all i need to know!

Professional gambling isnt GLAMOROUS! pull ya head out of your ass, and dont question my profession or integrity please... You will only be wasting your time searching for answers you wont receive..

I actually LOST my parlay tonight and finished $330 in the negative, You can see all that info on my thread..thanks

Well said crow, a good identifier for Pro's ;)

Ummm, you really think that im arrogant stating im a pro?

It's not an achievement mate, i do this because 4 years ago my career fell apart and i needed to find another path... I do not recommend gambling unless you know what your doing... Fortunately i kick ass!! But the only one who cares about that is my bank balance... No im not rich.. I work VERY, VERY hard at my craft... BTW, my office is at home and i dont hang any degree's.. I dont have any! 

You cant even tell the truth on this website without people hating!
