Sports Betting

What do Foreign Exchange Trading (Forex), the Stock Market, and Sports Betting all have in common?

Charts, jargan and overconfidence and we all yell at a screen

@Scoot365

There's that I suppose.

It seems that wherever there is a significant amount of money or power, there is Corruption.

I see you need your excuses  You are just not good at this is all 

Brief difference: the stock market includes long-term investing and ownership of productive assets; Forex and sports betting are closer to short-term trading/speculation — and sports betting is explicitly a zero-sum game with a bookmaker’s margin, whereas investing can create long-term value.

and betting on sports generally most addictive amongst the 3 …. By a landslide 

@the1toturn2

No excuses.  There is no excuse for Corruption.

95% lose money. 

99% in NFL. That's why books love NFL bettors.

So out of 100 posters here, 1 wins long term. Let that sink in. 

Correct answer. Good work. Thread closed

@Premian

The biggest similarity i see is people who think they know what they are doing losing money because of not really understanding the nuances of the game. You're just not good at this and you need to learn.

Not only that.  This shit isn't for people who whine about losses.  If you really dont get that we are ALL basically betting on coin flips while paying juice to do so, then you just don't get it.  Even the best in the universe might hit 60% or a little better this year.  The rest of the world?  Not so much.   THEN u gotta pay taxes on anything you DO win (which is never obviously) Good luck with all that kid.  Just Buy BTC and hold it and thank me later.  Been holding it since it was 5900$ and buying every month on top of that.  It's an unstoppable freight train 

Money, Power, Politics, Corruption.  These things are all temporary.  Thank God.

If there's corruption, u just gotta hope you're on the winning side

@Hesed55

The winning side is where there is no Corruption.  I have to be patient to get there.

@Premian

 Are we talking about sports betting or are we talking about life? Because in betting  I just wanna win. If Vegas calls in on my pick im happy 

@Hesed55

The truth is I don't really care about sports betting. 

This is about Life, and a desire to overcome Money, Power, Politics, and Corruption.

They are easy to overcome, because they are temporary.

If its a coin flip, then you are saying the books are good at what they do and the lines they set are usually right on spot. So why not use teasers you can manipulate? Take a look at how many games today came within 10-15 points of a teased over. 

Greed

@Premian

What’s your point?

@Boa33

My point is that God is good.

In the realm of Eternity, everything is as it should be, because God is good.
