I remember a really smart guy who bet sports for a living once told me "It is EASY to win at sports betting". You may even know him---and recognize him when you look in a mirror.
We got to do more than just win at this.
For people doing this all of the time I think you have to find a way to make 50 units a year or even 100 units a year with your straight betting, teasers, etc.. Winning to me means just coming out ahead. I wouldn't say for posted WA lines that 50 units or 100 units has to be the goal but probably a decent percentage of it like 75%. As a full timer various bets and situations develop that aren't WA but not sure I can count on those for 100 units and many of those situations are just better numbers of someone's WA plays to tell you the truth. (well it is somewhat always like that to some degree although there are a reasonable number of mistakes out here.)
How about a business plan? 50 units for the Fez board, 50 units for Right Angle, a few scalps and off numbers for 25 units, some free scalping money, some solid middles along the way....1000 a play....2000 or more for the big boys,etc. That will give me room to go up or down 5 or 10 on my own plays without crying if they're down 10.
Got to pay the bills. Got a save for retirement. I like doing my fitness classes with all of the women in the middle of the day. I'd have to have go back to rushing in after 5 p.m. when it is busy.
50 units. Can you do it? What is posted here?
