College Gambler - I've enjoyed reading your posts and watching the videos of someone wanting to live out their dream vice going down the typical walk thru life.    At the end of the day:  All life is - is a bunch of choices and you live with the consequences.  

Heed the advice of Vanzack's post - and always have a reason why you pick one team vice another and good things will happen if your reason proves or has been consistent in picking teams that cover.

not running LYNCH 3 times from the one yard line.. just incredible.. bonehead playcall of the century.

Horrible coaching by both teams...  first bellicheat giving seattle a cushion with 6 seconds left till half on that TD... then bellicheat not using his timeouts as Seattle gets down to the one yard line before the most idiotic playcall in the history of sports by Seattle not pounding Lynch 3 times..  

sickening end to a great football season...  lets get all the mooses out of the way though before this epic vegas move

in route early Wednesday morning!

my final records in my season long NFL thread.  amazing year and playoffs, even after that horrific loss but that one is tough to swallow..

I have been betting long enough tho to be able to not get too worked up over bs losses like this. 

this isn't even my worst NFL loss in my history of betting shockingly...  when I had Green Bay with the replacement refs that still has to be worse... losing a game on an actual interception ruled a TD   LMAO

Agreed, but this is the shiit you must deal with when becoming a Pro, it goes with the territory.

 College gambler, these last couple of weeks of losing are nothing, as you have been tearing it up for some time now. 

Even if you are in a late night drunken stupor, I will be eagerly awaiting your multiple Superfecta winners from Los Alamitos, to bring home the cash, and to recover these lost fundages.

After all this and the brutal Seattle loss. I have deposited $4420 in to youwager and cashed out 7K. So still a $2580 profit overall since my two bookies cut me off around mid December. So if that is my "rough stretch" then I'll be fine. Look at my nfl playoff profit. Look at my season profit even after the phantom Super Bowl loss and losing college hoops games by half pts with regularity.

Deposited $1000 before championship weekend and cashed out $2.5K then deposited $220, and the K this weekend. So even small profit there... That's what all the trolls don't realize. I mean facts r facts. Time to perform in Vegas tho no doubt. Slow and steady especially in hoops and bases and just enjoy living in new part of country doing my thing

 If it was not for the half-point losses in the buckets, and bad calls at the end of the Super Bowl, you would already be a legend in the gambling world.

Wow. I love reading about this man. I love someone going after their dream, whatever it may be. I have always struggled to go after it. I will definitely be watching over. Go make some money, and make us all proud. Completely forgot how cheap Vegas living is. Damn!

Vegas lines blow. Move somewhere that lets you open a pinnacle line. Betting in the amounts you are talking can make the difference of being profitable or not at times due to just the vig.

True and there are plenty of locals and agents that charge 5% vig. No reason to live in Vegas to pay the crappy 10%, especially if you don't have a network of runners to pounce on line moves at the drop of a hat.

"Is basketball a bunch of darn*n horsesh*t?!"


Yeah I think you are right…..basketball is the biggest joke of them all in terms of sports betting. Football and baseball is where it's at man.

College Gambler,my only advice is to really limit your partying until u get established at there.I'm not particularly crazy about hanging out at Sportsbooks just because Ive done it before.I sure wouldn't be playing a dime a game witn a 30g bankroll because everybody will have bad steak.Thanks for sharing.
