I know 4 personally .... but none of them work any kind of Real Job because that is there Job.
The guy you talk about about above is no where near any Pros I know... these guys bet a Min of $10K per game and on Avg. $25K per game up to $100K
Now they don't always win ... but they Win more than they lose. ( Most years )
Do you know how many games they bet per year on average?
Guess they pull 6figures easily, an average stake of 25k, even a small amount like 100 bets per year with a 2% profit would already net you that and knowing you and having met one of your highroller friends, I doubt that it would just turn out to be 2% (also 100 bets seems like a rather low number of bets).
Good ol' Dante sometimes still around at the RX these days?
Yeah and he always asks how you're doing....
I would think that's about right, give or take.... 100 wagers sounds good.
I've seen anywhere from 3-5 games wagered on a NFL Sunday... almost never buying a hook. 98% straight game wagers ATS .
other wagers would be 2nd half plays
One guy likes to bet on 2nd halfs .. he bets $5k-$20K and some full game Total's .
None of these guys touch Baseball ...
I was told that there are too many games to Cap each and every day.
the more and more I delve into the heavier specifics of this hobby,, this is my pattern,,, straight bets,,, hedge out 2nd half when possible,, Bet quality not quantity,,,
its a long climb and quite a dream to make it even close to those standards,, geesh,,,
one day,,,,
I know of one. Guy is pretty incredible. He places way more than a 100 bets per yr. Not sure what his smallest wager is but I know he has bet 6 figures a couple times and has won every one of those. He doesn't play bases either. Strongest sport is ncaaf then nfl. He never buys points. Not only is he an excellent capper but he is also lucky as hell. Ball always seems to bounce his way. He plays mostly locally but flies to LV a handful of times during foots season. He doesn't work either as gambling is his main source of income besides investments. Tried picking his brain on many occasions to no avail.
this is the funny thing that Ive noticed about the bigger guys,,, they dont want to say shit,,, lol,,, now lets be honest,, I dont really blame em,,, but I fin d it interesting that your friend doesnt engage you in esoteric discussions of capping just to help you out a bit,,,
betall do you remeber last years handicappers symposium,,, with the panel of 3 guys and the asian interviewer,,, the main NBA guy was a COMPLETE DOUCHE BAG,,, He did have an axe to grind,,, but just the same,
even my friend who makes 50 a year,,, he doesnt really tell me anything either,,, Just,,, get your best line and Hedge out with middles if you can. lol
