The downfall for many players is betting the NFL...IMO, the toughest sport to win on a consistent basis. Why? Because linesmakers have this down to a science as demonstrated by tonights game making the Detroit Lions 3 point favorites over the Super Bowl Champs.
I haven't had the time to look at this game but at first glance you have to ask yourself how is this possible even for a pre-season game? And yet, Detroit will probably win based on that line.
I tip my hat to anyone that can pick 65%-70% NFL spread winners.

This is such a broad question. So many different people on this forum. My point is, What exactly constitute making a living. I know folks who live of 20 or 30k a year. I know folks you do it for 100k a year. I mean i dont think its impossible to win 30k in a year. But like most of you already said there are a lot of factors.
I have often thought about giving it a go but just have been too conservative to give it a try.
And you can still find scalps available you just have to look harder now. Every day with a full baseball schedule just using 2 books you can find a minimum of 4 scalps. You have to work at it though. Watching line movements several times a day. I am currently using matchbook and one other book. Betting 1k per side. I only do it if I can find a minimum of 4 cent difference. Example: Mets -105 at Matchbook and Pirates Even at other book. Matchbook takes 1% on winning baseball wagers. Guaranteed $20 per game, no risk. I am averaging over $75 per day. That's $2250 per month of free change. I've been too busy at my real job and with an infant and one on the way or I would get a couple of more books active and get myself a few more scalps with possibly some better percentages on them also.
If I had a couple of other books I could easily clear $200/day but it would have to be treated like a job, constant watching of line movements at multiple books.

this is exactly how I started betting a few years ago and I come to realize that i was losing to all the same books. Have you made enough of these bets to notice the same thing? With that being the case I quit betting at the sharp books (books like MB and Pinny) and only played at the sqaure out and I won a bit more that way. It may seem more risky but when you do the math at the end it isnt. Plus you dont have to put 2k of action into work everyday, unless you have a huge bankroll that is going to be a lot of moving of money.

I HATE the NoFunLeague and ALL other pro sports. The players for the most part don't care. NO more pro sports for me. Have I told you guys how much I LOVE College Football. CFB is the only sport I love and understand enough to speculate on. A one horse pony am I. GL to ALL you Mo Fo's in love. :nohead:

I believe I mentioned more then just bonus whoring. Fact is I used a numerical formula for over 5 years and did very well. Having all of the above to assist me helped me play my system, plus handicap games , and invest in several different sports futures.
Who really cares who you respect anyway !! If you had several thousand taken from you by BOS, Millenium, MVP , etc. why should you feel guilty about 10-20 % legit money that you did receive ?
