I used $330 on my final $345 on this game. I got laid last night and feeling lucky. Remember pats -3 and zona +3 pending also..

Wow $15 is a long way from making $100,000 a year.

I think he splits tomorrow. Wins pats loses cards

Another Absolute Blowout Loser by Hollywood. 5 Loses in a Row.

Should be back in New Jersey by the Superbowl.

Can someone walk from Vegas to Jersey in 2 weeks?

Wow.

CG this is very poor capping.

From "flat betting is the way to go" and "I think I can make $100k" to "I need to put the pats and Zona bets in because I don't trust myself."

So disappointing. What about picking spots? I posted 33 games in 10 months and it's worked out just fine.

You erased the YouTube vids. Is the next step disappearing from Rx forums?

Oh and this is the single WORST time to come back to Jersey.

30 inches of snow over here and now you decide to leave yourself with two bets.

If you split, do you keep betting? Why?

I absolutely love betting on sports and have done very good in the last 2-3 years between betting online, bookies, etc... Been doing so well in College and NFL football this season that BOTH my bookies cut me off....

Check up over 12.5K betting separate in college and NFL football this season.. (check my season long threads)

Won in every sport considerably last year and even after a rough baseball year still netted a profit between 2013 and 2014 in bases...

The biggest thing is the cost of living in NJ is a ripoff and Vegas is dirt cheap to live... I can get a 2 bedroom gorgeous apartment for $850-$1100 range... It cost $1500 or so in Jersey if u live in Warren and Hunderston counties even.. (small counties)

The other thing is I have won all this money with bad discipline at times... (Bored at work and would bet on two mice racing if they allowed it)

So I have over 30K saved (mostly from betting winnings) and I feel with no wife or kids this is the perfect time for me to live my dream of pro handicapper. I really think with proper discipline and the fact that I will be studying games, trends, etc all day that I can win 5K a month or so...

I am quitting my job this coming Friday Jan 2, 2015 as I will receive the company match in my 401K for 2014 by then... nothing else keeping me here... I am rolling over my 401K btw.

figure they will make me work two weeks and then I can officially step out the door. (what a relief and can't wait till I am official out the door) Going to tell boss of my dream to move to vegas and will lie and say I am looking for work out there and hopefully he will give me unemployment while I am starting my pro handicapping career but I am already prepared for him to not give me that...

Looking at the Summerlin/Henderson area... so I live in a nice area but am still a close ride to the strip...

I know those who follow me know that I never lie about my bets or anything like that and I am 100% serious and can't wait till I am finally out there and starting my pro handicapping career. I have never been so focused on succeeding in anything in my life and I am really confident I will do great.

No more limits to what I can throw on a game if I really like it. anyone who follows my season long threads knows how solid I am... I am hitting at just under 60% in college and NFL football this season and that is with 110-130 bets placed in each sport so far this year. If I ever did this for this football season (I would be betting much more) I would have been already able to buy a house.

Basically just wanted to let you know who follow me of my dream that I will be living I say by the end of January... First step is going in Jan 2, 2015 (this coming Friday) and quitting... then will find out if they want me to work my two weeks or hopefully just let me walk out the door....

then can get a place and start the 40 hour treck out to VEGAS and start my pro handicapping career.

never been so confident or excited in my life. I am 100% telling the truth and just wanted to see if anyone wanted to follow me while I am out there. My friends all said I am good enough to do it and I know I am.. they say this is like something u see in a movie and I was just curious if anyone wanted to follow my journey because I will be honest and happy to share it...

If I see a bunch of negative comments I will not share how things go out there with anyone... if not I will let u know how it goes when I quit, where I chose to live and how my betting/day to day life goes out there.

This is something I have been planning for the last 3 years or so.. I would always WONDER if I am good enough to be a pro handicapper or not if I DIDN"T try this. Well sometimes u gotta venture out and act on ur dreams and that is exactly what I am doing.

I can always get a job with a betting service if the day to day full time betting is too stressful.. but I 100% love it and plan on being able to do it full time and become a legend in the business. I never been so focused on anything in my life... I absolutely love sports and betting on them

Just bumping the post that started it all on the day that it could all end.

I realize the CG saga is reaching peak levels...

But I have to point out the costar of all of this - Baronman. I read posts like the one below and think that the Baronman / CG in an apartment with cameras on is a sure fire hit.

Sorry hollywood cg, i know this guy calls willneverstops. Cant keep his mouth shut. One i tell him i am bartender at 2 places. Boss415 says hes painter contractor. This guy wont state his occupation. Until he does, he has no reason to ? Our jobs. Dont like to discuss my health or $$$ i make. Let you know though i make alot $$$$. Doing conventions ok. Hosted bars for conventions average $300-500. Party. Do math . Ok your new nick name is bus boy assitant until we get your job description ok. Maybe when you grow up & learn to clean the tables right, you will be promoted to full time busser. Ok rx forumn friend address this moron by his new job title out. Got go work now. Make some great $$$$. No bets till sunday

I disagree Vanzack, there is no peak level here, everything relevant has been said a million times. Now its just a bunch of bored guys kicking a rotten corpse for jaded fun.

I wish everyone would agree to sign off here and let this stupid thread die. I've asked CT to delete it but they refused, shame.

I used to play any 1pm baseball game during the week in the summer in bases just because it would help me get thru the shitt workday and my shitt job.

now I WON"T be playing every national TV game or afternoon game because I want to gurantee I make a lot of money. will pick certain spots more.. thinking 1-2 games a day at most... during football maybe more because that is my specialty.. going to be a lot of trial and error at first but I know I am going to kill it.

so let me know if u are intrigued in following my journey or not.

Post #2 of this journey..... an absolute gem

I think EVERYONE that has read this thread knows the answer to both of those questions.

No, unless you can pull off about 180 miles a day.

He's charming enough to possibly pull it off via hitchhike. However that probably means slobbing on a few knobs along the way. I assume of course, not that I'd know.
