Newby cwolf521 had asked about winning money long term in sports betting in another thread. I added this. Wanted to post it up here to get opinions from experiences players who may not see it it the other sub-forum.
"Now…. Here comes a crotchety old man…. With some more definite truth.
If, by whatever means you are able to win consistently……. You CANNOT continue to do so at the same book. Vegas or offshore. They simply will not permit it. If the amounts are anything at all significant…. Soon you will be severely limited and then CUT-OFF. PERIOD.
The “sharps” you hear about are few and very far between. They are either well established…. Meaning the book values their opinion and sees wisdom in knowing who they are playing and in return lets them profit (but not in a big way) or….
They (the sharps) have to go through a laborious procedure of hiring beards to place their bets….. and even their beards are limited and cut-off as time goes by.
Sounds more difficult than before. That’s because it IS!
Then if you are not betting in a controlled environment like Vegas…. You have to win the money TWICE. That means you win it…. And then you have to hope and pray to get paid.
Just being honest!"
