Quit sports betting unless you like the rush. 95% of us don’t make money long term. But it seems you are switching from the devil to the witch. Both are still gambling.

Well the only reason why I’m thinking about switching from the devil to the witch, is because the witch is my bitch & it’s been working for me a lot more than the devil.

I have a documented thread here that shows all my action since June of last year & it’s +EV. My sports betting action has been -EV taking all those profits away.

Don't confuse EV with winning and losing.

And don't forget, was it baccarat or sports that's responsible for the majority of your current bankroll?

Be patient, Jerky.

The only reason I’m up with sports betting is because of my parlay wins in my career. Individually my plays are kinda trash. This losing trajectory has been going on for a while now almost a full year with sports.

Have you been following the advice of others or being swayed on some of your plays lately?
Whatever I choose to do is not working. I feel like maybe I’m not watching & following enough sports now. That’s one thing that has changed since I moved in with my woman. I would legit watch sports all the time & seek info about the markets I’m betting on a daily basis with tv content, podcasts & YouTube.

That was going to be my next question

$10 on each baseball play.
It’s funny Sunny most of us can’t do that

It’s like in the movie Casino, when they trick the Whale who took them for millions into staying saying the plane is broken

The Whale stays of course but greatly reduces his bet size. When he wins though he gets pisses because he doesn’t think of it as a win, he thinks of it as a loss because he didn’t bet what he usually does per hand or per wager

What I said above is usually true, but @JDS did do a great job reducing his bet size substantially when he wasn’t doing as well as he had in the past instead of chasing into oblivion like many gamblers do

It’s a dead end you know this the greatest minds in the world can’t beat sports betting especially in today’s day and age sports books have too much technology play for fun and concentrate on baccarat

The legalization of sports betting killed the professional gambler

Know Your Markets, Gold.

While it's not like it used to be, these lines still move.

Legalization increased the number of outs across board. You can still do this if you understand why a line opens where it opens and moves to where it moves.

But yeah, I'll admit, it's not like it used to be.
