Anyone here bet on sports?

What do you bet on? (sport)

Do you bet spread, line, futures, over/under, total ect?

How much has it profit/loss you?

I did a fanduel once for shits and giggles.
Fucking blew that $25 away in a couple months

>> No.620747

>>620732
I did on mma. Best results I called 9/11 bets right unfortunately they were all small bets and a bunch were underdogs. I stopped caring towards the end and placed much bigger bets lost and stopped. There is a guy on sherdog forums that posts his bets every event and has a proven track record of making a lot of money. He doesn't bet too extravagantly but his % returns are really good. He posts them before each event and if you followed his bets I'm sure you could make some money.

Fuck fanduel. The odds of you winning are so much lower then you losing. It's just so damn addicting I blew away $125 in about a month with that site.

>>620747
This is actually exactly what I do except for NBA games. My win % over my last 100ish games is 65% I believe with 28% return on my investment but I don't bet alot of money at a time. I wanna start betting more but it scares me at the same time haha

Betting since 18 now I am almost 21
First year was bad.
The last I basically spend it thinking about profitable strategy
This year finally making $$$
Its really hard.
If i am really lucky in one month my roi is about 20- 30 % so...
All my bets are in soccer, and horse racing.

> What are spreads

you can't win because of spreads. I watch sports all the time, I talk sports, I live sports, as do my friends. I also know a lot of gamblers. And I dabbled myself.

You just can't win man. The spreads make it impossible to make a profit. The people that make the spreads are VERY good at what they do. They ensure that no matter what, the house wins.

I have never met a person who has made a profit betting sports, not one.

Your very best bet is to bet on sure thing bets, like if they Patriots play the Jaguars in NFL. But even then, you'll bet like $100 to make $10. And if you lose (which will rarely but sometimes happen) you are totes fucked.

just trust me on this one.

>> No.621118

I have about 30 different accounts. I evenly bet the lowest and highest spreads on any event with a significant difference in odds and hope to middle. Not very often but sometimes you will see an outlier on the lines and that's when I jump.

of course you can make money betting on sports. do your research first.

Sorry for the double post but I'll post my past 25 game log for everyone to see. I don't bet very much a night which makes it exciting considering I could up my base bet number and have the potential to make a lot more money. (Top 3 are being played tonight)

I play percentages more then the games themselves if that makes sense. I don't try to fluctuate my betting depending on if I think a game is "easier" to bet on or not. That's how I ended up losing a lot of money once. My winning % is 65% so that's how I make the money I have to this point.

In case people weren't aware there's a very active general on /sp/ called /bet/.

Historically /biz/ gamblers like to crunch the numbers and work muh paper models, whereas /sp/ prefers to research individual games and find an edge - e.g a youth team playing first teamers that isn't priced in.

Some on /bet/ do it full time.
