Hey guys, I am new to this forum but I am hoping to be a great contributor over the next days and months. You can call me MD (my initials). I have been betting on sports for 12 years and professionally for five years. Professionally in the sense that this is my only income. I have dabbled onto this forum before but never chose to sign-up as I have always been very superstitious that sharing my picks and my system with other people only puts more stress on me to win. I never really shared my advice with friends or family either, for that same reason. Just recently a friend of mine, who I do share my picks and strategy with, urged me to sign-up. He told me that good karma comes from posting on these boards and that rather than worrying about letting people down to embrace the fact i'll be winning others money if I keep my head on straight and continue to do what i've been doing.
Just wanted to fill you in on how I found my way over to this forum. I expect that, with all the time I spend on the computer anyways tracking lines and reading, i'll be spending lots of time on Covers, and will be nice to share my job and passion with you guys. Now a brief introduction onto how i've been living off betting the past four and a half years:
- I do not wager on pointspreads.
- I do not wager on totals.
- I do not wager on quarters, halves or propositions.
- I do not wager on parlays or teasers.
- I only wager on NFL/CFB + NBA/CBK + MLB + NHL.
- I ONLY make Moneyline wagers.
That last point is the most important. When I handicap sports, I take out all the confusion that sportsbooks try to throw at the investor (us) with these prop bets, halves, etc. but I go to another level and take out all pointspreads. My philosophy is that the pointspread is just another distraction and so I handicap these sporting events looking for just one thing: the winner!
It took years of trial and error before finally coming up with a system and gathering the patience to take this as a job rather than a hobby and if anyone is willing to take sports betting serious than you can follow along with me (even if you don't take my advice on the games).
If you are interested in learning a little more about wagering on sports for a living; the ups and the downs or on how I do it ie. setting a start bankroll, a starting unit size, dividing your year into quarters and setting goals for each quarterly; then just ask your questions in this thread or send me a private message.
This was just an introductory post and i'll explain more in a few moments. Glad to be here and I am anxious to help out. Currently there are two weeks left in my quarterly, and my next section of three months begins October 1st until December 31st.
