I’ve made more than $30k since online sports betting was legalized using my promotion hedging and arbitrage system with minimal risk, sucks to suck.

Example, you get a $100 free bet for signing up for App X. You put it on a +350 bet, then on another app you bet $280 at -400 on the other side to win $70 risk free. Either your free bet or hedge wins.

Arbitrage example, player X has a 3.5 rec o/u. Site A is offering +100 on the over and site B is offering +130 on the under. Bet $100 on the under and $115 on the over and you guarantee a $15 profit.

Apps will eventually limit your betting because they are filthy cowards that don’t like the tables turned.

Im not real sure what you just said walrus but you sound like you might be a gambling attic yourself! Call a hotline and get some help before you loose it all and possibly even your own family because of your own greed!

It’s negatively affecting sports discussions in real life as well. You’ll be discussing a great game and then some single guy chimes in and says the game actually sucked because it messed up his parlay. Buddy, nobody gives a shite that you lost $30. Get a life.

You are spending an incredible amount of time on this to make an extra $6k/year.

Agreed. It sucks that half of espn revolves around discussing betting. With the majority of the rest of the time talking about social issues, it’s hard to actually find highlights and sports commentary.

As someone who’s been a staunch Libertarian for most of my life, I’ve had to rethink some of my positions.

Legalized gambling and porn are two things that are wrecking young men. Marijuana isn’t helping either.

This is my biggest complaint. I throw 5 bucks here and there on a game or parlay but was watching a football game last season at a friend’s house and this other guy there was non stop yapping about his 75 different parlays and what was hitting and what wasn’t etc. I’m just trying to enjoy the game man

Video was about how gambling affects people on a macro level and of course, a TD poster has to talk about himself as exception to the rule in order to look cool.

If every bettor was as good as they say they are, the books would be broke. Which they obviously aren’t.

I’m with ya Walrus. 18k profit for me since legalization in 2022. And that is only using four books.

Arbing/hedging is not gambling. People don’t realize that. Just a nice little side hustle .

Am I supposed to care who won the Super Bowl last year between the Seahawks and Patriots? I don't give two craps about those teams..

I did make a little money on it though.

had you put all the money you gambled with in a S&P 500 fund instead, you would probably have close to a half million dollars right now. Instead of your 30k (that you are paying income tax on)
