I think less Professional Bettors Now Than Years Back

[jjgold]

The real definition of a pro is one that derives ALL THEIR MONEY FROM BETTING

I would think todays world very very hard

Not a joker that bets and has 100k income on side lol

Books limit you a lot faster nowadays than years ago. Much tougher to get action down. Some professionals went tout

Goldy, how are you? Your point is a good one.

On the Oddsmaker side, I think they've gotten more into Rating algorithms. Sharp #s, how do you carve an edge versus these lines? Very tough.

Times have definitely changed. A lot of people have 2 jobs just to get by JJ. So, someone having a job while working the sportsbooks to make money as well seems reasonable.

Hell, health insurance costs are so high, you'd have to have a regular job just to help you pay for it.

Addiction to gambling may also have elements of sin. Addiction usually leads to excessiveness which can be connected to the sin of greed and pride. If one is addicted to gambling and the addiction causes harm to others and creates covetousness, then gambling can be associated with sin.

If we had to donate baller coins for F bombs, I would probably be negative.

You won’t feel that way if you make this your home, trust me better vibes & less fuckin’ bullshit over here with many posters who post pregame plays & track their numbers. Nothing like that going on where you came from pal.
