Hi guys what would you guys say are the top reasons 99% sports bettors lose long term. If you have more than one reason please list from biggest reason to least reason. Would love to know everyone’s thoughts. Thanks!

A very wise man once told me: "don't try to kill them, take small profits".... Best advice I ever got, took me years to practice it.

First you need to know what a winning spot looks like. That takes years of experience because the best team is often not the winning team either SU or ATS.

THEN comes money management.

But the toughest ingredient is discipline. That's something I lack. I make way too many plays. Spots that you can play with confidence (assuming you know what they look like) are relatively infrequent.

Are you saying that if you had the discipline to only bet your top plays you would be a winner long term?

House wouldn't be the house if they lost. All horse players die broke. Betting futures is a one to way to win or cut your loses! Just took UK Hoops to win it all 15-1.

If you don't play the game the game plays you! Mich said.... d i s i p l i n e

Are you saying you are a winning capper long term?
I would honestly say that I was. I didn't get rich from it either. The constant chase, the up and downs, after a while wears on you. It took up to much of my life. At this point in my life I am set financially and don't need the stress of betting big money day in and day out. When I do bet it is just for fun.

Yeah betting is entertainment as all gambling should be?

No one is mentioning actually picking winners / beating the vig. Is that the east part? Lol
