I'm profitable in the last 365 days but down maybe 1k or so since it has become legal in Kansas.
I'm very streaky. I'll go on runs where I hit 7 or 8 in a row and then I'll drop my next 5 or 6 bets. I had a string last spring where I hit on something like 23/25. I don't bet big, usually $40-$100 per bet. |

It was way too tough for me. Underdog hitters have impossible odds. Managers pull weird shit all the time like pull a pitcher who’s rolling in the 4th inning because of some weird analytics.
The best sport for me has been nba. But man these bullshit injury designations because coaches and players are afraid to play regular season games has made it much harder |

Yeah that’s a dangerous game. I like to pull some of these for shits and giggles. Generally +1000-2000 is achievable. I had some fun with this with mlb home runs because if you hit one you can recover weeks of losses. But it is definitely something you tread very lightly on because these are way harder than it looks if you only see people do it casually

I’m up about $20k this year. Worst year I’ve had since I started tracking 3 years ago. Gets harder and harder with books shutting down completely and me being limited on others.

I feel like my wheelhouse would be putting down $5 on a 10k to 1 bet every once in a while.

No.
It's a fun thing and I always lose. If you're seeing it as a money making opportunity then you have some problems and should seek help before you get out of control

just like with the lotto, you have to play to win... if you don't play, you can't lose...

Sports gambling becomes legal in Missouri on December 1st. So by this time next year I think most of us expect to have made our first million. (Assuming Vegas still will let us bet on the Threepeat.)

A sure way to get rich is to bet on the Chiefs to win while also betting on their opponent to cover the spread.

If you do you are full of ****ing shit.
I've been an affiliate for a decade. Almost all sportsbettors get the shit kicked out of them if they make enough bets. |

I have money available to cash out on draftkings, fan duel and yahoo and I have never deposited to any of those, so I guess yes.

I’m up $400 for the year. I don’t bet large sums of money though.

I finished darts gambling challenge with 98,000 my first year and 76,000 my 3rd year. Went into super bowl week my 2nd year up and made some contrarian bets to try to win it which I wouldn't have done if it was real money. I did bust out the last two years.
But Id say my track record isn't bad. I have thought about starting to do some micro betting.
