The last few months Ive really been analyzing sports betting in a different way than I have been (been betting for 20 years) and Ive finally decided to give this a real 100% shot and making some income consistently with this that we all love.
Ok so this last weekend has got me thinking. My picks are always good (50-58% range) , but since Im always going for the home run I end up doing dumb ass parlays and rolling over my wins onto the next bet and blah blah blah and end up just being like every other tool who loses their ass each week. So last night I started running #s on what I would need to do to actually do this for a living. Im not gonna try to do this for a living, but I would like to make some $ off it so I figured Id like to make about $2500/month from sports betting and what exactly would that take in reality (how much per bet/how much of a bankroll/ etc etc). Now Im not saying I can make $2500/month or Im "going pro" or any of that garbage, I just sat down and started running numbers on ACTUALLY how much you'd need to bet and how long and such to do it. I am by no means a rich or wealthy man, in fact, quite the opposite, but I do have a little stash of money set aside for a "rainy day" that I can take to give this one good shot.
So here is Phase 1. Im gonna take $5,000 and try to double it in 30-60 days. I will bet approx 10% of the bankroll ($500) on each game to start. I will be listing daily current bankroll, win/loss record, and each bet detailed. I should have approx 60-80 games/month. Instead of just talking about doing it Im gonna try to actually do it, bet by bet, day by day and see if, done properly, I can make consistent money.
All/most of my picks come from approx 8 "systems" I have found using a sports database. Lemme say Im not a "system" guy and maybe thats not even the right word to use but I have about 8 different angles I look at for each game and see if they apply. 95% of my bets will be NBA, if not 98%+.
Maybe I'll flame out and lose my roll as 10% starting amount/bet is very high but maybe it'll work out, either way Im sick of sitting around saying "what if" and Im going for it. Comments welcome, thx for reading
