Is it worth it or too risky? Just trying to make a little change on the side, but have read things about not getting paid or people getting busted.

Not trying to be a bookie, just open an account with some minor betting

just use somebody that somebody you know uses. that way you don't get screwed over.

the guy i use gives you a website password and instead of money it's "credits" and that's how you bet. then if you go over $1000 you pay him if you win over $1000 he'll pay you weekly

Its quite simple to use

Not sure where you have heard things about people getting busted. I haven't really heard about that. I have heard people having issues with checks before, but nothing that wasn't taken care of by the site...as long as you are using one that is decent.

Ill tell you I've had hot streaks where I've turned $2000 into $40,000 and then I've had streaks where I lose thousands. I've lost a lot more than I've ever won.

If you wanna have fun do it, trust me there's no damn winners in this unless you are on the inside.

Believe me, I did the whole this kicks the stock markets arse and I'll only bet the crazy moneylines bc lets say -1000 still pays 10% in one day thats an incredible trade....

well what happens when last year hits and Im guilty of it, I was up a ton and I dropped $6000 on the bulls on beat the nets at home and the bulls were -15......and the bulls lost.....on one hand i would have never bet that much if it wasn't winnings, but i still bet it and i still lost it

I will say football, especially college you could make a substantial living betting all those -20 moneylines if you're laying $10k/game to win $700-1000 and you bet 1 early morning 1 afternoon and 1 night game. but losses are much rarer on the huge spreads in college. I remember texas tech was +29 and went into OU and won in 2011

That's been easy to do in recent years with wisconsin early morning,alabama/LSU afternoon, and then oregon at night

that's my input, good luck, hope you're the next bill walters and not just the next guy giving the casino money like me

Playing online with reputable sportsbooks are safe. Your selections, however, are not.

yeah just use a local guy, to many fee's with those big companies, whatever you do don't buy a picking service, one year me and a friend paid 3k for a guy to pic our games, the first 3 weeks he couldn't lose, we made so much money and then the 4th week we lost it all and more, weeks went by and we kept losing finally i quit, lesson learned.

I have never come across a single fee to bet online.
