Hi

I don't know much about betting.however i plan to start this business too,soon.
Just want to know does anyone make monthly handsome profit from it,some thing e.g. about $1K-2K?
How much effort should i put into this,and how much money should i provide as principal?Should i use arbitrage or not?

Thank you very much.

I am in the midst of paper trading a system of mine, and yes it
is not as easy at it looks.
Arbitrage is very difficult, and you have to spend countless hours
at your pc.

If however you have a good system for picking/laying horses, has
a decent strike rate, and you have paper traded it for at least
a month, and it is profitable, go for it.
If you have a good one you only have to spend anywhere from
a half hour to 4 hours at your pc a day, and i like that.

9-5 just ain't for me.

1. Find yourself a good sports handicapper. Just Google it and you should find plenty; then decide for yourself which you want to stick with.

2. Sports betting as a STEADY MONTHLY income is not possible in my opinion. You have to think in longer terms (like one baseball season, one soccer season etc.) so you're looking at about 6-month terms at least. The reason is, sports betting is very volatile. You can have one losing month, followed by winning month etc.

In fact the most seasoned/reputable handicappers will tell you to think in terms of YEARS.

3. Most good things don't come free. Be prepared to pay for good information.

4. I've tried sports arbritage. Like someone has said, those that are in the matrix already will tell you it's the best thing since the invention of wheels. But those who have REALLY tried it (myself included) will know how hard it is, both in terms of hours and the effort to reduce the risks.

Abtvah, Run don't walk away from this place.

I have made healthy 5 figure yearly numbers from gambling and also lost that number.

It is not worth it, you will blow out your account 3 to 4 times before you even gain a clue how this sh it works. PONZI SCAMS ARE MUCH MUCH EASIER THAN WAGERING.


Take it from someone that does both, and has no reason to lie.

With all due respect this is a bad strategy. I have access to all the top handicappers on google (I posted them here last week) and if you look at them on any given sunday they ARE SPLIT 50 / 50.

What you need to realize is all those guys are marketing people with writing skills. Anyone can buy a subscription to statfox.com and cherry pick some numbers to justify a pick while sugar coating it with language..

If you want to tail you are best to look around for an obscure forum with a guy who lives in a certain demography and follows a certain team / conference.


Those guys can make you $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.


I'm not going to talk about my skills because I have stunk up the place for the past 3 weeks with the FB. Although before that I dare say we were all winning.

I'm sorry to hear that TravisBickle. I guess I should add "your mileage may vary".

You're right about those obscure services; the ones that really make money, would never be featured in TheRx or something like that. And they will never be featured here :)

So,
in conclusion ,you mean it doesn't worth putting time and my money in this business?
I don't want to make a living off of betting,even if after 5-6 months i reach monthly $1k, it 'll be fine for me.As i said before, i currently make an extra income of about $1,500/m from Hyip&AS and Forex.
I wanted to start another business just to diversify my principal into different markets!

Hi fan, would you trade that system? I have quite a few other systems here.

Set yourself realisic goals, and live to bet another day by
only using a small percentage of your betting bank. Always
know when to walk away, and don't let your emotions rule,
that spells disaster.

Also i can't stress enough that you need a good system!

And yeah, it's always good to diversify when it comes to online
income.

Good luck.

FWIW I personally have sworn off all autosurfs/HYIPs and put all my money into various sports betting activities. I can't say the returns are "consistent" but so far I'm happy with the results.

i know that you can make at least 300$ per week minimum

friend of mine convinced me to sig for a handicapp service it tooks me 3 months to give it a try ...

but now i am very happy and making great money

so it is possible if you can find good source with low cost cause i fell once before 1.5 years with scam that took me 300$ per pick dont go to handicappers like this one they just want to take yhour money

i joined to low cost but very good picks and service

so the answer to your questions : "it is possible"

I think that anly a few people make handsome profit from betting, some others make some profits and the majority are loosers.
Gamble with the sport you know better (for me is soccer).
And never bet the whole bank gou have.
Good luck!

And the ones that regularly make profit each month or have a winning "System" keep this to themselves.

You have to ask yourself
"If it is so profitable then why would they want to sell it to others?"

"If it is so profitable then why would they want to sell it to others?"

I encountered this statement many times and frankly it puzzles me. No offense but let me explain why:

CAPPED WAGERS
- Your wagers are limited per game. For US sports, you can rely on Pinnacle and they do have very high limits (up to $50k per wager in some sports). But even $50k presents a barrier; most prudent gamblers will only risk 2-3% of their total bankroll per wager. So once the pro gambler's bankroll reaches $2million, the cap presents a problem.
- This assumes you are wagering on Pinnacle, which for the most time, does have the best odds. But not always! Other books have severely less maximum (only about $8-10k; most are much less)
- And once you're involved in other sports like tennis or soccer, forget about it; Pinnacle's odds are found wanting often, and here you'll really be handicapped (pun intended) by the low maximum

- Most people are probably more attuned to thinking along the lines of forex/stocks/options <--- in these markets, there's virtually unlimited liquidity. You can buy/sell in multi-million dollar lots quite easily on leverage (i.e. imagine multi-million dollars PER WAGER!)

FREE MONEY
- In light of the problem above, the good handicapper can sell his picks and basically get FREE MONEY to boost his income
- The extra work he does at most is just to send a mass mail every day; who WOULDN'T want free money for just doing such simple thing?
- And how much free money are we talking about? From my observation GOOD HANDICAPPER prices about $1,000 per season per sport. If he is indeed that good, I'm sure he can attract at least 100 customers, most likely A LOT more. That's $100,000 free money by just sending mass email once per day. Multiply this by the 3 or 4 sports he is handicapping, I'd say he can easily get half a million dollars of extra income per year.

So now I ask myself: if the system is so good, why would a handicapper sell it away? The question should not be "why" but "WHY NOT INDEED?!?!"
