Who here is a winning sports bettor during their career ?

Let’s be honest with ourselves here, would love an accurate precise quantity for our community.

you need an operational definition of +EV.

we all can find plus expected value bets or situations everyday. they might win or lose.


but that doesn't seem to be what you are asking

so what is your definition of "finding +EV"

I’m talking about simply having the Bookmakers money in your gambling career Archie.

Bottom line = +EV or not in this instance.

 

[Archie]

that's a winning gambler long term

which is different from +EV

For this thread let’s allow that term to be a hybrid definition for the poll.

if someone offered my a bet on a coin flip and put up 101 dollars vs my 100.

I made a +EV bet. even if I lose. I was a plus expected value gambler in that moment.

In the English language one word can mean multiple things, so that’s what I did here with this term.

The only real reason why I have the Bookmakers money is because of my big parlay wins in my career. I'm pretty mid when it comes to my individual bets throughout my sports betting journey.

The last couple years I haven’t lost probably more than 1000

It doesn't matter, homie. You've got sharp guys on here and on SBR back in the day. Lifetime winnings/losses isn't something a gambler likes to share. What matters is money management and going not full tilt...or at least in my case, limiting full-tilt haha 200usd on PSG -1.5, wtf (horrible bet)

that said, highly doubt bookie-killers anywhere would admit it...people who win lifetime off this shit stay quiet

I learned a thing or two from The Shrink sadly RIP. 35 years of doing this and don't ever put all your eggs in one basket Spread your legs like a spider and don't depend on one thing. If you depend on people,things,money your fucked before you even started living.

Most gamblers think they are even or winners

It’s hilarious

 

[maltedhopsfrenzy]

Tough question - Honestly I’ve woken up in the morning in Vegas with pockets full of casino chips, and also with a bloody lip, bruised arm, and multiple casino cash ATM receipts. I don’t think I can put an exact plus or minus number on it, but the experiences make up for the losses…..
