If you wanted to make around 100k annually, and you bet the major sports.. NFL/CFB/NBA/CBB/CFB/MLB.. how much per unit are you wagering? and how many total plays you avg per wk? just curious from those that are doing it..

 

[JustinCruise]

I would imagine your units would have to be huge to make 100k considering even a great capper is only going to hit 55-57%

 

[tatehill2000]

3 a time no progression.. looking to hit 10 units in each segment.. 4 segments...

Sounds interesting but I am not understanding this.. can you go into more detail on this?

 

[tatehill2000]

3 grand a play.. There is 4 segments a year I wager... I average 5-10 plays a week... and I usually profit 10 wins in each segment..

I will pass a nugget of gold on to you HNY... only assholes and idiots bet an entire season of a sport... you need to look at each sport and identify which sport you do best at.. then identify your best moments to strike.. soo let's look at March madness... betting through an entire cbb season can cripple a guy... but if u can win at March madness... u should only bet at this moment... take your 5 or 10 units of profit... then get the fk out..
Cheers.. gl.

at a win rate of 56%, a wager amount of 2%
you will double your bankroll in about 500 plays

It is really hard these days.

If you have access to Pinnacle, Matchbook, and Betfair, you can probably make 30-60 units per year relatively consistently because you will be playing at -102-106.

If not, good luck.

I'll buy anyone dinner who can play at -110 and consistently make $100k/year without betting over $7500 per wager.

Then you have to factor in getting stiffed. You'll likely want -105 locals if you dont have the above options and then your stiff rate goes up. I'd say about 5% will stiff each year.... That makes it very tough without the three listed books.

Also, good luck on a 56-57% win rate in any major enough sport to bet $3000+.... If you hit 56% long term you are a billionaire very quickly. It's damn hard to hit 53% in major sports at books with decent limits and fast changing lines.

Are all three of these books available to US players? And they won't bar us for winning? Amazing what little it can take to get barred.

 

[tatehill2000]

no.... ans you would never get barred from those 3,,,,and your limits are sky high,,, 9there are no limits)

 

[lt56]

pinnacle is not open to american players.

I used Pinnacle for years. They are a class operation. I'd go back to them in a heartbeat.

Let's just be honest. Maybe 1% of the posters here are actually making money as a living doing this. And I'm pretty confident in saying nobody here is making 100K doing this.

 

[nojuice9]

yeah! all​ you pros chime in

 

[nojuice9]

calling all pros

 

[Salsantorre]

I am by no means a pro.But, playing baseball dogs until the all-star break has been very profitable for me the last few years.
