Can you make a living betting sports ?

Question

YES you can but very few have a starting bankrool to sutain a lifetime bussiness of betting sports but heres how the guys who do it for a living manage to make $100,000's of dollars a year.

1st of they gather at laest $75,000 starting bankroll

other funds are seaperate to get an apartment and food and furniture to live in Vegas or Reno nevada

Then if a newbie you are going to have to ask for help to get in with those sharps n wiseguys who run a very machine like betting business.

YES people they do converse with each other on the games where thier systems show that edge of 60% or bettor.

The strictly bet 5% of thier bank on anyone game

that is your bankrool is $75,000 your wager is $3750 risked amount to win$3375

so now say it's 7 games per week x 3375 = 23625$ made per week at 100% winners yep your rich you made $1,228,500 for the year
but no one does 100% so lets say 1 game perday at 60% wins

= 219 winners 146 losers

149 X 3750 = $558750 lost 219 X 3375 =$739125 won - $558750 = net profit of $180,375 a year and you did this in comfort of home using a phone and your lap top or desktop Computer. Dressed anyway you want or getting sucked or fooked by some hot chick.

while watching the games

yes of course you have to pay runners but that's minisule to what you wger maybe 2 or 3 guys at $150 each

Thats it they get no more if you win or less if you lose

SO now go ahed and start building your bankroll to become PRO sports bettor that treats sports betting as a business a way to make money NOT win money

60% Is very realistic.  From week 8 forward I finsihed 63.25%.  If it were for some dumb bets the previous weeks, I probably would have finished at 60%....

Wizerguy · Answer

BUSTERDOUGLASS · Answer

hey joshfactor 60% is realistic % and Wizerguy yes 57% is ok but i strive for situational handicapping using specfic systems that have 85% - 95% edgdes

BUSTERDOUGLASS · Answer

HERE is a hard fact stone cold fact.

IN NFL for the year the amount of games were you lost to point spread is 19% ..... there are 256 total games played per season only 49 times the favored team did not cover either creating a push or losing to the high spread

go back start counting how many games favored teams won but LOST $

BigRomes916 · Answer

Very well said.  Only problem for a lot of people like myself is to find that 75K.  lol

pjrez · Answer

VERY well said?  Obviously we didn&#x27;t read the same post

mafioso · Answer

60% yeah okayidiot

Ravens5220 · Answer

Who can seriously bet sports and live a half decent life off a 75k starting bankroll?

Are you kidding me? That's a year of living, unless you have nothing to start with.

Now of course if you have ANYTHING to pay already, including bills for instance, you're pretty well already screwed due to variance, unless you can live off of half of that as it is.

You clearly should'nt be giving advice to anybody as to how to "become a professional sports bettor",.
Unless they only want to last a couple years, that is.

Leave that to people who actually have half a clue

mafioso · Answer

Some questions come to mind for your model to be worthy of consideration : (won't debate the optimistic 60%,;more reasonable, in my opinion would be 54-56% and even then, there will be good years and bad years, believe me.)

Is your model just based on football season? College/Pro vs. Against the Spread? You are using a baseline of 365 games - if football season that is 18 games approx. a week. That is a lot of action and a ton of research to support 18 football plays a week. Playing no moneylines? The model as you describe would not apply to hockey, baseball or other moneyline sports. If it is just football, that is a long offseason if you plan on being a Pro and just playing foots.

Asomugha · Answer

Not as simple as you want to make it look like.

First of all, only VERY good cappers can hit 60% of their games. Good cappers can hit 55% maybe.

Second of all, you will get limited by your bookie if you are winning at sportsbetting and then you have to spread money to several bookies which makes it more awkward and hard.

Third of all, if this was so easy, why do you think 0,001% of people profits from sportsbetting? Because they dont know about money management. Technically, you dont need 75.000$ to become a profitable sportsbetter, you can start with 750$ and then just use 7.5$ as a unit, but is anyone doing that? No, because it gets boring. So that will probably also happen to the 75000$ roll at some point, or if there is a down period its VERY likely that he will just bet 2000$ instead of 1000$ per bet and then may get into a hole. Variance can beat not only your mentality but also your bank roll. If it was so easy as you try to make it in the OP, then MUCH MORE people would be winning betters, but not so many are when it all comes down to it...

Getting a 75.000$ bankroll isnt a problem, you can just take a loan in your bank, but turning these 75.000$ into more $ is the real problem...

If you wanna be a winning sportscapper its about selecting spots CAREFULLY and have focus on 1 league, and maybe even only 1 team.... And if you do that with NFL you will only have action 3 days of the week, so what about the last 4 days where you will make 0$ - and what IF you have a losing week where you only hit 40%? Woops, thats a week with -1000$ maybe, how do you think thats gonna feel going into the next week? Its not that easy....

BUSTERDOUGLASS · Answer

Vegas is very low cost to live in your food in casinos is cheap or local restaurants very low rent apartments as i heard out side of city. Most bettors eat free off of comps.

all u can eat places still there for like $15 you know off the strip.

of course the food isnt best ever but it's edible

it' being done today and has been done for decades the sharps n wiseguys that live out there are quite comfortable and make millions or should i say about 1/4 million a year each.

this year i played the LVH contest as if i was in . I would have tied 7th place with 7 others split the money and wound up getting $14,750 cost total with proxy $1750

would have had 52 1/2 finshed week 17 ok 3-2 was hoping for 4-1 5-0 but wtf Chargers - 10 vs Chiefs benching you couldnt blow them off the field?

other loss was Cardinals

For this current college basketball season I&#x27;m at 58%.  I focus mostly on the SEC, with a little Big 12 and American conference thrown in. I have made 88 bets this college basketball season.  I do 1 - 3 bets per day depending on if I see a advantage.
