Does anyone here sports gamble for a living??????

The point was you can hide behind online chatter but can't hide if your broken down on the highway all the time trying to tell a friend your successful at your occupation as he picks you up on the side of the road.

If your a successful player you probably would drive a 96 escourt atleast.

btw.. I wasnt saying this of anyone specific on this forum but if there is someone here claiming to be smart enough to be a pro sharp but not smart enough to understand an analogy maybe it does apply.

[h=1]High-Stakes Las Vegas Sports Bettor Banned From Sportsbooks For Three Years[/h][h=2]Federal Judge Rules 'Vegas Dave' Will Be Barred From Las Vegas Sportsbooks For Three Years[/h]

by Steve Schult | Published: May 21, 2019

Professional sports bettor David Oancea, known to many in the gambling world as “Vegas Dave,” won’t be allowed in Las Vegas sportsbooks for the next three years.
Oancea was indicted in April and faced 19 felony charges after prosecutors claimed that he was using other people’s Social Security numbers to open up player accounts at various casinos between February 2015 and February 2016.
He allegedly used those fake accounts to process bets that added up to about $1.2 million in transactions in an effort to hide the money from the government.
In January, Oancea took a deal that saw him plead guilty to misdemeanor charges in a Nevada federal court. The 42-year-old admitted to causing a violation of record keeping and procedures, which carried a maximum sentence of five years’ probation.
On Monday, a federal judge sentenced him to three years’ probation, problem gambling treatment, 150 hours of community service, and barred him from entering Las Vegas sportsbooks for three years. Oancea also agreed to a civil asset forfeiture of $550,000, according to the Las Vegas ***************.
Despite the restrictions and the plea deal, the prominent Las Vegas gambler spun this as a victory.
“For the last three years, I’ve faced the biggest gamble of my life being indicted by the Federal Government on 19 felony counts carrying a potential sentence of 40+ years in federal prison,” Oancea wrote on his Facebook page. “But true to who I am – a gambling man – I bet on myself and decided at that moment to stand up for my constitutional rights and to defend my freedom and innocence.”
Oancea also tweeted a photo of him and his legal team outside the courthouse after the judge sentenced him, claiming that he “walked out with zero felonies and a free man.” Between all of his social media accounts, Oancea has nearly one million followers.
Oancea’s legal team was comprised of attorneys David Chesnoff and Richard Schonfeld, who have also represented clients such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Britney Spears, Mike Tyson, Martha Stewart, and Shaquille O’Neal. They are the same lawyers that defended high-stakes poker players Paul Phua and Phil Ivey in their gambling-related legal battles, as well as a number of other poker pros.
Oancea made waves in the gambling world in 2015 when he won $2.5 million wagering on the Kansas City Royals to win the World Series at 30:1 odds. He has also appeared on networks such as ESPN, Fox Sports, and Showtime for his sports betting prowess.
After his big victory, Oancea began to sell membership packages to his personal website that would give members access to his picks.
“This is a very simple process. I email you the plays, you place the bets and keep all the money. I don’t take a percentage like others,” his website reads.
Despite his sportsbook ban, Oancea was readily giving away betting advice on social media just hours after leaving the courthouse.

My bookie who was a professional gambler as well back in the 80's, was worth millions back then. He was 70 years old and his son had a million in his account at the age of 16. The book wore casual clothes bought only cars that fell of the car carrier, never drew any attention to himself. He always told me that when you spend all you do is draw jealousy and attention. God rest his soul he offered me his book business back in the 80's after he retired, had 75 customers . He had 3 phones next to his others he wasn't using, wish I took him up on that offer!

The guy's a fraud!!

It's about "professional" sports gamblers. It really shed a light on Vegas Dave, the guy who won a couple of million betting the Royals and Broncos on futures to win their respective championships! What the public doesn't know is his parents bailed him out numerous times. They paid off over a million in gambling debts! So really it's no big deal the guy hit a few futures considering the amount he lost betting futures. The guy is a tout now and the show documents his future plays for the NFL last season. He picked the Falcons to win it, then the Steelers. Since both teams did not make it, he went with the Chargers to win it all. Then a teaser Rams and Chiefs and then the Rams buying points at plus 3.5 in the Super Bowl!! The guy went O for and people paid 500 bucks per pick!!! I thought it was pretty good documentary for the sole reason it exposed Vegas Dave.

It was "Action" on Showtime and it was a good 4 part miniseries.

Absolute Fraud!!

The guy is scum of the earth shady tout. Very Very Very misleading on social media.

It should be a crime to manipulate unknowing people online with his tactics.

Would have been nice if the Vegas shooter would have targeted dirty slimy touts instead of innocent people.

105 points in the 2nd half. They can really fill it up. Good luck.

Zalgiris 7-0 Over. 160.5

They are playing a Panath team that is 8-2 Over and 15-5 Over.

Bayern 0-5 ATS and 3-10-1 ATS in last 14. Bayern is -4.5.

Zalgiris 74 pts in the first half.

Now hard charging in the second half.

Probably get 46 or 47 in the 3rd.
