Serious Question...Do You Think You Can Beat Sports?

[jjgold]

Well as you all know I have the answer but want to hear all the wrong responses

 

[carolinakid]

Yes

 

[Tanko]

Yes. But its a damn grind and seems impossible to win in every sport.
Got to pick and choose your sports/plays.

JJ - you'll say no but, you're up in your power plays thread.

 

[slickfazzer]

JJ is beating the market in his Gold Power plays, so yes it can be done.

Again, bet good numbers, and don't overbet, both in terms of dollar amount and volume.

and PLUG YOUR LEAKS JJ.

Hey Gold, let me ask you a couple questions.

Have you ever been kicked out of or limited in at a sportsbook?

Ever?

Do you think this happens to bettors?

Why does this happen to bettors?

Not talking about circumventing rules or that kind of behavior. I'm talking about bettors.

Does it happen?

Have met some lifelong sports bettors in the black but they were all grinders. Have yet to meet anybody that wins in horses or casinos over a lifetime.

Since all of the posters above (whom I sincerely respect) said yes, I'll chime in for the losers and say no. The market is too sharp. Even if you have an edge, it's not a good idea to bet on the bounce of a ball. Just bet small for fun...

Edges are small, but can be beat. To what extent, I'm not sure of.

Short-term or long-term JJ?

 

[stormtrooper8]

Yes I do it

 

[KVB]

I just have 5 words for JJ Gold...

"Risk Management.

Fawk You JJ."

No. I've had winning seasons but in the long run the effort required is too much. Easier and less stressful ways to earn money out here. I budget football season with a 50% reload. March Madness has a budget also about half that Its never been more than three dimes.
For example 2022 football was a dime with nickel reload. I was in seven when college football regular season ended. Shut it down with three remaining, sent that in NBA,NHL futures that returned four. I'm playng with that still, its at five now.
At this point in my life its about practicing money management and decision making skills with the spice of action. The reward is ability to communicate about the topic of sports with others by staying current. Its not about money.
I've bet as much as $5500 on a single sporting event. Currently the range of bets are 3 - 20 bucks. If I see sometime I'll invest more. There an old saying you should make at less one bet a day because otherwise to might be walking around LUCKY and not realise it otherwise. Should my state make it legal I could rethink this. But I'd rather do other things now than to take the time I would require to have a winning season.

Bet + EV over the long haul and you very likely a winner

Easier said than done , and requires a lot of work

it take a lot of time each day if you are serious about sport betting and you need the right tools and imo you need to treat it like a real so call job, with time off for normal things as well to keep a good balance. also you would not go to a real job drunk imo as you will not last long there and you should do the same with sports betting
