And we just talked about only betting the Dog if you really think it can win outright.




Brooklyn / LAC is flying OVER the 2nd half.

Double up.

Skip what does the bomb signify? Me hitting youwager for another big day?? +$500 dollar Thursday after cleaning them out 7K in the last month on college and nfl football. Not too intelligent putting a bomb like I had a bad day when I win another $500. I mean I was up $600 for the day and at 9.55/1 I wanted to take a small chance on the nets.....

No I was simply defending myself as skipbone but a bomb like I got crushed yesterday when in fact I won $500.... Just didn't make sense to me. Nokeeaa Go check any one of my season long threads... Won in every sport a considerable amount since April 2013 except baseball last year.. So yes I guess a lucky TWO year run... Like I said tho will all depend on Vegas.. Just fortunate I have had a nice two year run and been able to build my bankroll high enough to move there.

gambler,

"just a k play on the super bowl"…….WTF do you mean "just a k play on the super bowl"?!?! Lmao….that's more than the average American makes in a weeks worth of work. That's not chump change…make your bets count my friend. "Just a k"….did you make that in a day at your old job? No. Did you make that in a week at your old job? Maybe.

Point is that is a lot of money---Super Bowl is just another game man. You HAVE to understand this!  Still rooting for you 100%

oh for sure. but with the season I have had and it being the last football game of the season I feel in basically a PK EM spot a K play is worth it to the end the year...

Okay time out man 

Which is it? Do you rarely drink or are you "an alcoholic who loves partying"? You'd better figure it out or this is going to be your downfall. Not a chance in hell you stop completely 

...and for the life of me I don't know why you have it in your head to move to that hellhole and pay square juice when you could live more cheaply in some lovely place like Costa Rica and set up better online accounts

When are you planning on leaving for vegas, or have you already. I am also an NJ native was living in Jersey City but got the darn out of there 2 years ago after quitting wall street. The housing market is dirt cheap in vegas as well. BOL

I drink 2-3 times a month. but when I do it's bad... I went a good six months last year without having a drink.  I have no urge to drink now..  I have stopped cold turkey before and will again.

Plug your leaks sir.  Make sure you continue to always build your bankroll and take some profit to live and eat.  Don't fall into any bad habits like excessive partying or chasing bets or betting too much of your bank on one game.  If you can average $800-1K a week in profit (average) then that's 42-52K a year cash which is like earning 52-65K in real wages and that's a nice living if you dont go crazy.  I'm almost 40 and this is a dream I have just like you but now I have the wife and kids and a mortgage so that dream will have to be lived vicariously through you.  With no cable tows on your life there's never a better time to do this for you so go for it and give em hell.  There's always this world out there as a back up if it doesn't work.  Just stay disciplined and stay away from the table games if you are a serious sports player!  Best of Luck!

Two things:

1. You should definitely get a part time job when you're out there, just some reliable $$ coming in when you hit a bit of a dry spell.

2. If you go the I-80 route, then you better stop in Iowa City at a place called Atlas, and have the Iowa Pork Tenderloins. Great dish.

thanks as always fellas comments good or bad welcomed.. I am a big boy and can take it...

Leaving a week from today FINALLY...  been busy getting furniture set for shipment on move in day, calling power and gas company, getting direct tv and my internet ready for setup on move in day...   need to still get my obamacare and then just pack my clothes and that is basically it...   oh and I see a 48 inch Westinghouse TV for $299 and the 55 inch for only $399 at best buy...  

have a Westinghouse in my room now at home have had for over 10 years... shitt name but a solid tv...

got direct tv (2 year agreement) $48 month... free NFL SUNDAY TICKET   what a deal... not a sales guy, but u all should consider switching at that ridiculous cheap price... 150 channels got my nfl network, and mlb network, fs1, etc.... 

im not a guy who cares about Netflix or dvr etc.. I just want my sports...  

gonna have to obviously order mlb extra innings when I get out to vegas but $48 with the sunday ticket included is a STEAL in my opinion.  two TV's too.

Hey CG -

I have watched your videos and am a fan.

As someone who has done what you want to do for the last 10 years, I have one piece of advice.

Learn WHY you have been successful recently picking games.

This is my biggest concern with you.  I don't get the sense that you know why you are winning.  You are just winning, and you expect that to continue.  I can tell you from experience that the one thing gamblers don't do is go back and analyze their past - when a game is done - they move on.  This separates winners from losers.

When you know why you have been successful, and you can explain what works and what doesn't work and it holds up to scrutiny, you are miles ahead of 99.9% of gamblers - and have something sustainable.

CG,

I am giving you some advice. You are not disciplined enough to make it out there. You make too many stupid, impulsive plays. I hope you kill Vegas and make it out there, but you have to be more patient if you are treating it like a job, not a hobby. I am just trying to help you; but since you know everything, good luck. If you listen to one thing I have ever said, be patient and only play the games you would consider your "1K plays." This is now your life, not a hobby. It is a hobby for me and I have a bankroll of over 50K given I make 500K a year. You dont have that so you gotta be patient and hit your spots accordingly.
