Question: Have you lost money or made money on sports betting?

( Back )

Answer #1:

I have only bet on a few sporting events in my life and I have won most of them because I was so confident that I would win and I did. I have made about $500 profit in less then 7 bets and it has been a while since I put a bet on sports. I like to bet on things that I can control so I only play online poker, mostly at Full Tilt Poker. I have had a lot of success and it is more of a skill game so it is way better then a sports bet. Go play PokerStars and their double up Sit N Gos, they are very beatable.

Answer #2:

Ive had good years and bad years. I do better at some sports than others. Im good at Nba totals but am terrible at college hoops totals. Nfl seems easier to me than college football. Just go with what you know best and dont try to get rich overnight. The #1 reason why most people lose in sportsbetting is they lack patience. Good Luck

Answer #3:

If you are 18, I would imagine that $600 is a lot of money to you. If you're down $600, then you are probably not as good as you think. If you bet big on a wager, then you are most likely very confident about the bet. If these are the bets that you are losing, then that means that your handicapping skills are not good.

I think the most important thing a gambler can do is keep meticulous records. That is how you can assess your skill level over time. If you lose in the long run then you are not good. If you win then you are good. Don't blame your losses on bad luck.

Answer #4:

I was in your shoes, I would win a lot, build a big account and then make a huge bet that I thought was a sure thing and lose it all. What I do now is keep my bets pretty much equal. I dont bet more than 10% of my account on one bet, no matter how much I think its a lock, because there is no such thing as a lock.

So if my account is $1,000, I will bet around $50 on a game. If I feel very strongly, then $100, but no more than that. Lately I win more than I lose, so I am consistently making money now. So if you win more than you lose, this should work for you. I believe if you ask any successful gambler, money management is the one thing that all will agree with.
Good Luck
