I normally just bet without keeping track of my record really. I also tried to figure out how much I'm up or down since January and this is what I came up with. I'm up $1500 only because I had a good streak where I went 12-0 back in February and was betting like $300 a game.
I bet mostly on basketball, college and NBA, quarters, halves, and full games, as well as football NFL and NCAA quarters, halves, and full games. I also sometimes bet on baseball but not as much there.
Since January, I've gone 140-131-16. Seeing as how you have to pay the juice for each winning bet, if I had some kind of flat betting system I probably would have just broken even.
I really don't have any money management system. Sometimes I'll bet as much as $900 if Iike a game or as low as $25 if I'm low on cash. My usual bet is anywhere from $50 to $150.
Since the beginning of the NFL and college football seasons, I went a decent 23-15-1 in September, but a dismal 21-25-5 in October. I'm already 6-6-1 this month.
So anyways, my point is, is there really any way to make money betting on sports? Even with some kind of flat betting system, I don't think I would have made that much money. Also, even if I was hitting 55% of my bets, I probably wouldn't be ahead that much.
I'm starting to wonder whether it's worth all the time I put in sportsbetting. Don't get me wrong, I do like the thrill of it and find it more as a hobby then anything. However, I do go into it hoping to make extra cash on the side, but many times find myself depositing more money into my book than withdrawing.
How does everyone else make money sportsbetting? I mean, do you have to be hitting 60% of your bets to actually make decent money or do you just find big games you really like and bet a whole bunch on that. I'm starting to think the latter is the best way to go.
