Nice I'm on Tenn and Oklahoma too. OU is 4-0 at home after a loss winning each by at least 17 points.

I use to live in LasVegas and hang around the books.People would say if a player could last 2 weeks he was a pro.At least you've covered your nut this month.

Nice work so far CG.  Build up that bankroll now to hold you over through the summer MLB grind.

So what is your favorite book so far, in terms of hanging out and watching games?

Lol @ people saying 50-60k for a 27 hr old isn't a lot of money. Sure it's not a million but 50-60k is a good amount of cash to have saved up. How much $ do you guys have stacked up? Probably don't even have 5 figure stacked but wanna say 50 isnt a lot. Sure it wont last forever but for him to have graduated college and have anything over 20k saved is a huge accomplishment. Dont say 50k isnt a lot if you dont have 100k stacked. CG is doing his thing. Point blank period. You guys are funny.

He will lose it all, not because he's not good, but gambling RUINS lives...It will ruin his, it's just a matter of time...NOTHING replaces a REAL JOB with GUARANTEED MONEY...

He will suffer big time...HE NEEDS TO HAVE A REAL JOB ON THE SIDE....

The only way he will survive....

If he doesn't get a job by end of summer, he will be coming back by December.  That's just how gambling is...It will always get you in the end....Always...

The MGM, Wynn and Monte Carlo I would say.  I just shop the best lines tho so im not overly concerned by how nice the book is. I haven't been to Westgate yet but I heard that is a great book.  Like today  I placed my bets early this Am and am just relaxing now on the couch getting ready to watch my action

Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't.

NOBODY ever WINS on gambling...It's a waste of time...Even if you win money, you're losing time....This boy needs to chase pus sy, travel the world, not run around vegas looking for lines.

You may wanna consider hanging out in the book every now and then especially on weekdays.  Thats probably your best bet to meet others who are doing what you're doing.  Probably a much better place then here at covers to find people to exchange info and ideas with.

Again, you are in the 95% majority where this applies, and that's fine.

 But saying "nobody wins" is ignorance at its finest.

Time is more valuable than money....Yes, EVERYONE loses with gambling....You are very ignorant, if you don't know that TIME is worth MORE than money.

Yea, cause a regular 9-5 doesn't require time. Money just falls into your lap with no time or work required.

Auburn Tigers +1 (-110) $440/$400. Bama is horrible on road. Auburn should have won in Tuscaloosa. Lowering my bet a little bc looks like 0-2 start to today.

For sure bro. Smart I lowered my bet amount on auburn just in case a regression is coming. I've been in this game for 10+ years even tho I'm young. I know how to handle the positives and negatives that come with the nature of this business

Are you a moron? Or do you just play like one... LISTEN

When you're working 9-5, someone is GUARANTEED to pay you for your time and labor.

When you're gambling, you're RISKING money on an UNCERTAIN OUTCOME...

You can't compare a guaranteed salary to GAMBLING.

The best thing this kid can do, is attain a professional degree and MAKE MONEY ON A CAREER that is GUARANTEED to compensate him for his time, and GAMBLE on the side (which is still futile)...Anyone who argues against this, is lacking COMMON SENSE.

I am the same age with the same type of story coming out of NY. I really am thinking about picking up and moving out there. I never had the balls to because I always wanted to have people to come along and enjoy this experience with. Maybe I need to just go and find people from this forum who are crazy enough like me to do this LOL. I hope you do more than well because you are living my dream!

I added you as a friend, I wanted to start looking at the steps to get out there like finding an apt, where to make the bets (best lines usually), how to handle it tax wise, etc.

Awesome dude!
