It does feel that way when say you’re looking at stats or whatever you’re doing and you come up with winners for the week or whatever timeframe and you get a nice cash out it does feel good, but that rarely happens with me

The industry buries me
You gotta love these guys on forums that talk about the "industry" and "trading" thinking they are like KVB, Justin7 and Ganch. They talk a big game like they are on Wall Street trading stocks. The industry this the Industry that. Can you imagine the conversations they have with people in their personal lives bragging to them about their knowledge of sports betting and the "industry" They think they are something they are not. I equate it to the same people that got credit accounts with Minny thinking they were a big shot getting a credit account. Anytime you hear people talking about the "industry" if you can read that with a straight face and not laugh, you are either just like them very delusional or are new around here and simply don't understand the terminology . It is pure comedy.

95% here not even close to KVB and Ganch. They are 9's and the rest 2's with little bankrolls

I know the end game is not good for guys here except a few , we have zero discipline but we like to think we are big timers for a small portion of our lives.

I strut around like I am big time and as Archie is well aware I live in litterally a basement renting why??

GAMBLING but I put work in Illini and I got rewarded this past weekend

We did get rewarded big time, however your numbers are off my friend, no way it is 95% on this site. 98% or more.

I like the monkey approach. I take two sides and pretend like they are two trees. I then cap and add a banana to a tree when I see something good. For example, Ducks on a b2b against the oilers tonight. That's two bananas to the oilers tree. Then you look at a total of 7, and that's a banana to the oiler puckline. the tree that is more good and full of bananas, I then climb it and make my bet. One tree must have 5 more bananas than the other to justify a $5000, one unit wager. I got to say, so many bananas in the Oilers tree tonight. I am one happy monkey

Gambling - just like any industry rewards no one who is not a member.

It’s built to reward only those who build it long term - a small percentage manage to beat it at its own game and survive off what they earn from it and some have a good day/week/month and mistake that for having “beat the house”.

Fact is unless you win multiple seasons consecutively - you’re just part of the 99% that built this industry. 99% give - 1% take because the cost to effectively shut down that 1% is more costly than just letting them live.

I could care less what it feels like to bet $10,000 - I’ve done it and feels no different than betting $10 - actually betting $10 is much more of a rush when you have $12 in your wallet and winning is the difference between getting a single pint or a pint and a meal that night. What I want to know is how it feels to be part of that 1% and walk into a sportsbook knowing damn well they fear me.
