This is obviously not the avenue to take for most professionals in this arena, but they are doing what they love to do and always find a way to get on top.
Some of the greatest gamblers that ever lived went from rags to riches and riches to rags many times in their line of work.
Anti-liberal said:I think every professional gambler, especially sports gamblers, have a gone broke at least once or twice. I don't think you've been around the block yet until you get humbled a few times. There's a lot more to learn from going through a bowel-shaking bad streak than there is from over-winning. Almost every top sports gambler has gone through going broke at least once.
Mr J said:Anybody who thinks sports is easier obviously hasn't played poker seriously. 50-100k a year is as simple as 8+ tabling low limit poker for 3-4 hours a day.
Some people Cant play a winning streak to save thier life. They might win 7-10 in a row and still grinding away with a 1* bet
As opposed to betting 2 and 3 star plays? Do you also bet less during a losing streak? Why just not bet? Why bother betting when you aren't 'hot'? If you're 'hot', why stop at sportsbetting? Why not just go to your local casino and have a hoot, rack up a fortune? Buy a few lotto tickets? Not enough bankroll? Borrow some money from the mob, it's okay you'll be able to pay it back because you're 'hot'.
Both require huge bankroll
You can make 6 figures in poker off a 4 figure bankroll.
