Has anyone made any money betting on sports steadily throughout the past year? 'cause I did! See how

I appreciate the kind words meant to ease the losses, but my friens - LOSS is a LOSS. And if they were by a half a point or one point - that means that I failed to figure what was the right side of that half point loss which is a half point win whoever wagered on the other side. What I'm trying to say here is not that I'm trying to be more righteous than the Pope, but that I should have avoided the games that were gonna end that close as it is unjustified risk of hard earned money. It can work for a day, few days. even a week or two - but once the habit wears in - the books smile and grab their money back.I am lucky to be at this point where I am with that reckless betting I have been practicing due to overall excitement here. That is not how I made all those winning months that drove me to open this thread and I will go back to my notes and restrictions to chose the right games. I might be doing fine now - but that won't last if I keep doing it the way I did since I was taken by the spirit of "let's hit it while we lucky". And I am warning all of you to follow that advice of mine that I am going to follow myself. Lucky - is for limited time. Money making takes patience. The best example for what I said is the win by the Suns which I won by a point. So I can't really complain losing by point other games. I might go 4-2 or 3-3 today, but I'm done betting 6 games a day. Back to my notes and handicapping. You had a great day and so everyone who tailed you and I congratulate you. But also warning you not continue in a same pace. Slow down man. Trust me on that advice. 

The bottom line is that there are no excuses for losing and no bragging rights for winning. It can only be done if you treat it as an Ice Cold Business

"melosjumper" you are con artist, sorry your picks are late and so on...

BTW Melos, I like your pics and analysis for the most part, and got nothing against ya, but dude chill out on the posts mid game. It's obvious you're excited which is cool, the all those mid game posts become a waste of space for anyone trying to catch up on the thread. Just my two cents.

Marvin love the analysis, and I see why you're a solid handicapper, not gonna win them all of course, but I see how you consistently come out ahead. Personally I could never just tail someone's pics blind, but if I'm leaning on a game myself, and u pick it I know it's likely to be money!

I should start follow it, only taking the games that I´m completely sure about the outcome.

Great work!!

Ha Ha Ha. Been there, done that. I know all about the excitement after a long streak of wins and the desire to scream about it from the rooftops. I know. I also know how quickly it can end if we don't stay disciplined. The books are counting exactly on our excitement. They don't care if we win few days. First of all they make money on parlays lost and the juice. Second of all they know we anyway will lose what we won because we're just degenerate gamblers... Not anymore. At least I chose not to be a gambler but a handicapper. Like stock market broker. Not a gambler. Handicapper is a gambler who uses skills. Everything in this world is gamble. Even when you chose who to marry. where to go for a vacation or what kind of a car to buy. But those who are wise do it with skills. You have a gift as I said already - use it right. And then teach others to use it.
