    I can't believe the amount of morons in this forum who think there's a shortcut to making money.


    If you want to make money

    Either 
    1) you work
    2) you steal
    3) you're born into it.
    4) you get very lucky and stay lucky for a LONG time.

    THERE IS NO OTHER WAY. By the way, Chances of number #4 is pretty much like hitting powerball last week...

    I added you as a friend, I wanted to start looking at the steps to get out there like finding an apt, where to make the bets (best lines usually), how to handle it tax wise, etc.

    Awesome dude!


    Start at the beginning of this thread and read through all the advice. CG is living his dream but it could become a nightmare. Definitely some super sound advice in here which he chose to ignore. At the minimum consider traveling abroad and betting where you can get reduced juice and have multiple online accounts at your disposal.

    This kid left that in Jersey to chase his dream. I wish him all the best but you have some valid points. I think staying employed and betting on the side and saving for early retirement would have been the best choice.

    My biggest question for CG is what exactly does capping entail for him>? Honestly, I doubt it is much more than reading news on the net and dissecting numbers which are easily accessible to everyone. That being the case where does he get his edge? The true world crushing sports betters have numbers and computer analytics. They see an edge and pounce.


    Maybe you could get a job working for this guy.

    You keep lining the coiffers of the sheep, swine, and scum slaving away for the profit of others while CG and other professionals do their thing, aight?

    It's math CG. You have a long way to go and so much to learn. You need to get to work researching and learning as much as you can ASAP. Ignorance is bliss I guess.

    There are a number of betting/bankroll strategies. One is to bet X% of your roll per unit. Basically your bet size is based on your roll, simple. That is what I was suggesting. Not to double your bet size or something crazy.

    This is the Information Age. Get your hands on books and web sites. Seriously though please track down a true professional capper who will sit down with you and pick there brain. Good luck!

    not sure why he is betting 500 a game with 25000, if i was making a living gambling i would be 0.5-1%. 

    $250 a day for 365 is still 90,000....

    try to stay in the game as long as possible

    Hey Mitbstyker No disrespect If you followed Our conversation with College I & few others suggested he might want Partime job for income In my opinion he can do both & won't have to stress about paying bills if he has bad couple weeks Not full time Part time because he will be busy handicapping You have any good picks for Wednesday I'm all ears. Have good night out

    I know professional handicappers...And want to know why they succeed?

    They are investors, they are employed, some have bankrolls from their parents, money that can never run out.  Some have made their money elsewhere.

    Others have something this kid doesn't have. INFORMATION...They have someone IN EACH LOCKER ROOM of teams they bet.  They know what tempo will be run, they know motivation. This kid doesn't have the info...

    I would suggest this:

    Get a career, save for your future, DO THIS ON THE SIDE.

    you need to go to graduate school, or any professional degree other than bachelor's.  

    you can always come back to gambling, but gambling will ALWAYS come and clean you out if you go to it first....

    Any moron who is envious of this kid is doomed.  This kid is making the WRONG decision. But he knows it.  He will get a job soon.  He is not dumb, he knows he has to WORK in this world to get what he wants.

    CAPPING IS NOT WORKING...It's RISKING on an UNCERTAIN OUTCOME. 

    IT IS NOT a guaranteed income...

I would be fascinated what people bet on games etc. It would be awesome taking there bets. I love betting on sports and the whole business I habd not played one table game out here yet and if of when I do I only Fuckk around with $100-$200 bucks on roulette for a little fun. I don't even know how to play blackjack, poker or craps

    And not that it matters but I heard a few day I should be worried about getting box and such and I did on Sunday night. Lovely milf 34 years of age and hanging with her this weekend and another one 42 years of age on Saturday. Who cares? I agree but it just shows my whole mindset and where I am at my life and why I love the excitment and thrill of living in this awesome city and state now at least at this point in my career/life. I left two girls at Home one in nj and one in queens ny who would have married me and still will if I asked it's just I'm 28 and wanna live a few more years doing what I enjoy and have no regrets of what could have been and that's why I made this epic move 2.5k miles to sin city
