It depends

There's two ways to go about it and 2 styles to Betting

If you like betting on one sport in particular and want to bet almost every day for the entire season, obviously you're probably not going to be cashing out any winnings/profits soon because you want to keep it in your account to continue betting

Others like to make a deposit at a book and try to win a nice lump sum and then withdraw some or all of any winnings almost immediately.

Or are you asking how long it takes to get experienced and better at sports betting in general?

By the way, welcome to posting 👍

I was 18 years old when I first got a bookie. Hit my first 8 bets. Cashed out $1500 first week which was like $50k would be to be today.

Probably worst thing that could happen to someone with the adrenaline rush gene.

I also won 3k playing craps my first ever night in Vegas. Again probably a bad thing.

learned hard way over the years to pace myself and only bet what I can afford to lose.

don’t chase losses is the best advise anyone could ever give you. You’ll wind up broke many times over if you do

Listen to jay, Itsroyal. Probably 99% don't make a profit long-term. Very few have the discipline needed with money management and the biggest reason is we don't handle losing very well. Anyone can pick winners. That is the easy part. The hard part is how you handle your loses when they come because like the wins the loses will come fast and hard than you start questioning your capping. Next thing your mentally checked out along with all your bankroll. Best advice I can give:

1st: find a book that is trust worthy. Nothing worse than winning only to have to worry if you are going to get paid. https://www.bookmakersreview.com/best-sportsbooks/

2nd: Find a good bonus at one of these books. Every little bit helps but read the fine print on the bonus. They always come with a rollover before you can withdraw.

3rd: Look at the odds page. You will see lines vary by books so it is good to have one or more of the good books to get the best price. https://odds.bookmakersreview.com/

4th: Stay out of the casino. Especially if drinking.

5th: If you don't like picking your own games look around BMR. Ride who is hott and fade who is not. Lots of good cappers with detailed articles and picks.

6th: It is real money and not monopoly money in your sportsbook account. I still haven't learned this after 25+ years offshore.

7th: If you live bet than don't be swayed by what just happened. If it was that easy than they wouldn't offer it.

8th: Never, I mean never bet a bad line. Just avoid it. You will screw your reputation with a book and just may get free rolled.

Just remember, bet what you can afford to lose. If you have questions don't be afraid to ask them. Welcome to the forum.

If I only practice what I preached especially the monopoly money one. Just be smart and only bet what you WANT and can afford to lose and probably would be best to NOT do what I do in my threads or take note what not to do. If it is not a life changing amount, than my gun is loaded firing away.

Make sure you play the 2 contests we got going. One starts next Monday. gL on plays and please start a thread and post your plays.
