So I'm just curious, do we have members of the forum here that are making a living in sports betting? Can they share some inputs on how to be successful like them?

this is a forum where if you take a few hours and read all the posts in the gambling section mainly in the soccer or NBA or UFC threads you will notice that nobody posts how much money they are betting, how much money they lost on a certain bet and the reason for the bets. people don't post the money they bet and because they bet with little money and with so little money they feel ashamed and for that reason they don't post values

so let's think, if people bet with little money, then they don't live from gambling, even people on youtube who consider themselves guro don't make money from gambling, they make money from videos on youtube and books they keep writing, and also earn money with telegram channel

I hope they will share so we will know if it's really possible. I mean, as the saying goes, casinos always win because they have the advantage, so how come people are making a living in sports betting?

there are few people who win a lot of money in gambling, but when these people win a lot of money they stop playing with high amounts of money. there is a big difference between

1 - have fixed income or constant profit with casinos
2 - win a lot of money at the casino once and then support yourself with that money for many years

I'm not sure if there's anyone here who makes a living from sports betting. But I'd like to see if there are any, and I'd like to share with you a documentary I saw about a sports bettor king in New York. He hasn't shared any input on his strategy, but he is definitely rich and makes a living off of it. He just shared that his first bet was $3,000 and he turned it into $30,000 So he told himself that he could really make money from it. He only gave one piece of advice: bet big because the reward is high, but so is the risk.

Do not be inspired, rely on other things, not gambling. If you want to gambling responsibly, use the amount of money you can afford to lose and the amount shluld not be above it.

I'm not saying I'll fully focus on gambling to make money, still it's good to have a job or business as it's less risky.
However, if the time comes that I will find the formula to win consistently, I think sports betting should be my focus as there's no limit on how much I'll make it here, and it's also very easy, it does not need a lot of time or will pressure me.

Imagine, having a vacation with your family and you just need to spend some hours to put a bet, afterwards, you'll calsh out. easy, right?

If you want to be gambling for a living, you will use more amount, remember that as you can win you can lose, but you have more chance to lose, it is called house hedge.

I'm okay with starting all, everyone starts with a humble beginning.

I heard lots of stories online that there are people who are making a living in sports betting, and honestly it really inspires me that's why I'm still gambling now.

I know someone that did this full time, this person has been gambling from when I knew him up till this day. We were college mates, this person used sport betting to handle all his college expenses back then and up till this day he's still very active in on the gambling business although he has other job now that he used to take care of others bills.

Currently him betting is just a way to support himself but before now he relyed fully on just betting. I knew this because I was with him like most times although we weren't best friends but just friends. He didn't have a hide time since he was very good with his predictions and sometimes we copy his bet and win too.

Your friend is truly a lucky man to be able to make money on sports betting and has been doing it ever since. Only a few people can do like your friend because most will experience many losses, making it unfit to do it continuously.

But your friend can do it and he also allows you and other friends to win. But he didn't have to do it all his life; luckily, he now has another job that can provide him with income. Maybe he also felt gambling was not a good way to make money.

There is a difference between sports betting and casino games, in the casino all the games are designed with a house edge. Which means that the chances for the casino to win is higher than our chances. With that the casino ensures to be profitable long term as the more people gamble the more closely will the profit be to the expected values of the games. In sports betting we are placing bets against our people, the bookmaker takes a fee for each bet but he doesn't care much which team is going to win or lose. The bookmaker wants as many people to place bets as possible. So far I haven't met anybody who is making a living out of sports betting. Some friends of mine have been very successful with sports betting in the past and made a nice profit, but none of them would consider making it their career. Having a normal job guarantees we are getting paid every month our fixed salary, with gambling and sports betting our income will fluctuate a lot. In my opinion we need to have another form of income that at least lets us cover our fixed monthly costs, and use sports betting or gambling as a side business for making additional money.

i am more inclined to multiply my crypto money in sports betting not to make a living , because i work to make a living for myself and my family, usually i just use cold money or bonus money from my salary to buy crypto and bet on sports betting for doubling it as an investment is nothing more than that, even though it will eventually be sold when the crypto price is high

I think its very possible to use betting to support your bank account. I mean if you have other ways to generate income its very likely you can reach profitable point at betting so it can feel like secondary wage. I know a colleague who literally bet twice every week. His income through sports betting reached a point where its nearly more than half of its wage. But making a living through sports betting is very risky and I don't think a lot of people try it.

I think any users that say they're make a living in sports betting is complete bullshit because they're still wear the paid signature lol, if you've make money through betting, why you need to spend time in this forum for posting? Posting in this forum is require a lot time since you need to read the whole posts and post on topic, but the weekly payout is small compare to your winning in sports betting.

I don't think anyone here has said explicitly that they are living from sport betting and winning a lot of money.I agree with you that is extremely difficult to make a living out of gambling no matter how good you may be at it,it is still luck that determines the outcome.

As I said in my first reply here in this thread I am trying my experiment,deposited some 0.14 Litecoin and will play a single bet daily most likely both teams to score with 0.02 Litecoin as a wager and see how it goes for this week.For today I choose Ligue 1 in France,the game of Lens and Lens draw no bet at 1.44 odd.

although some may do. but it is highly not recommended. Sports betting is just like playing craps or slots in a casino. although you can analyze the teams competing, the reality is that more matches don't match what we are betting on.
sports betting would be better for other pursuits just for fun. twist-money just to play in gambling. think of meeting our needs, it would be quite difficult. no one will ever know when he will win or lose. or how much they will win or how much money they will spend.

I think you are misunderstanding something here -- "casinos always win because they have the advantage" is when it has to do with games like Dice, Blackjack, Keno, Crash etc ,and other in-house games, this believe is not actually valid with sports betting, sports betting is a worldwide game where result is visible to everybody, there are no ways for casinos to cheat gamblers here except the casino are managed by scammers.

In games like Dice and the like, the gambler is solely dependent on luck win, and whether this gambler gets lucky depends on the casino's algorithm or game provider, but in sports betting, the gambler is not on dependent on luck, but he or she is also have a knowledge advantage, this means that if the gambler is really knowledgeable about the game and the players and can all the time, correctly predict which team would win, it is very possible for such a gambler to make a living off betting.

It could be possible, but you need a lot more time and risk appetite to do that.
You need time to study the teams/players and match up winning percentage for each and every team/player in that particular sport. Generally, you need to study everything about that sport to place a good bet effectively.
That means, you gotta give up more of your time so you can focus on gambling, you might end up quitting your job to stay focused.
But, I would never personally try it, the possibility of you getting broke is at a highest risk.

You have already been given good advice, the only thing I would like to add is that probably the people you see on Youtube or similar promoting this, make more money with the channel than with sports betting. It's like with people selling get rich courses, many make more from the course than from their other sources of income.

As for the rest, you have already been told, but it requires perseverance, effort, etc. Apart from the fact that it is more difficult nowadays than it was years ago, but it can be done.

And if you are going to try it, don't forget to control the psychological aspect. Even if you are good and put in the time and effort, you will always have a string of negative results, and for that you have to have a good bankroll and a very good mindset.

Yes, I have also seen several posts about the wins experienced by some gamblers in this forum and did not find them telling or showing the wealth from the betting results.
However, there have been many who have indeed been able to change their lives from betting or gambling that I encountered in the environment where I live.
I think if members of this forum manage to make a living from betting but they don't want to publish, I can understand their thoughts. his predictions and this can make a gambler feel uncomfortable with questions about the predictions he makes.

Agreed, to some people, it has a psychological effect. I've once read that sharing stories about your success makes them less achievable.

You can find people sharing their winning bets but finding people who make a living out of sports betting won't be as easy as 1, 2, 3. People like them prefer to mind their own business and just focus on betting. Same thing with dice or slot players.

It is possible but it is not easy at all, now I am not an expert on the topic but this is in fact possible due to the lack of skill of the general public and a process called balancing the books, in theory a sportbook would like to earn the same amount of money in a single event regardless of who won, however sometimes there is a team or player that is so favored by the general public that if such a team or player were to lose the casino would lose money.

And in an effort to bring more people to bet on the other side the sportbook offers better odds for it and worse odds for the favorite, this is called balancing the books, but in this process smart bettors can get very good odds for their bets, win more often and more money as well, but doing this as you can guess requires a great deal of knowledge about a sport and the odds as well.

I think there are people who are not working but who are also making good money from sports betting. But they are not literally making a living out of it. They're probably rich already or have big savings that they don't have to work anymore to support their family's needs. They just bet but even if they lose, they don't worry at all for their needs. They also win at times. So this is possible. But if you have got literally nothing, and you want to make a living out of sports betting, I don't think that's possible.

Yes can believe in this , a friend of mine (that is a son of businessman) is really doing good in sports betting but he is already a rich boy that only use the winning for his luxurious living.

but there are some accounts here in forum that I have been watching for years and really winning good , but I don't know if how much are they losing also and if they are treating sports betting as means of living .

it will be more interesting if there will be someone proving this take effect.

If someone already has a lot and has large savings, they may find it difficult to make a living from gambling because gambling is not a place to make money but to spend money.
In addition, the savings they have will soon run out if they only use them for gambling without any income.
They should change their thinking like that and move on to open a business first instead of wasting money on gambling that doesn't know how big the win rate is.
Sure they can win, but it won't be as often as they lose so if they can make money elsewhere and it's bigger than their gambling budget, they don't have to worry about losing.
