What is illegal about it?

I want to do this too.  I think if you are picky, like 2 -3 big bets  a week, you can do very well  I think  the key is taking breaks and getting away for a few days - couple weeks if u have to clear your head after a loss.  i usually win 5 - 6 bets before losing.

So what makes you so smart about being on a sports betting website any different than me trying to win enough bets in Las Vegas to make a living?  You can win on the computer but not in real life?
