Anyone ever tried to be a pro gambler on here

Post by redlinesman »

Always thought gambling was a mugs game but now I'm having second thoughts, I might take it up for a living. Met Several people who say they make 5-10 grand a week off the football, it is risky but might have a go in the future.

Doubt many are TBH. Best study a minority sport and be good at it. You're just on a "lucky" streak at the moment. Commission will make a huge difference.

I would have thought it would be difficult with football. I know of a few people who can do it with horse racing particularly in-play betting.

If you are quoting exchanges though it means that the same amount less commission has been won.

when i was a pro gambler i would regularly make 400k - 900k a week from football bets.

I would encourage anyone to go for this as it is guaranteed profits and a great way to make a living.

Unfortunately i had to give it up as it just wasnt enough money to support the lifestyle i was accustomed to. Though I suppose if things take a turn for the worst i can always go back to this to get me started again.

i had a streak for a few weeks where all my football bets were coming in.
Then went on a bad streak and laid off it. I was betting on football evey night.

Micky Quinn?

Anyway, never bet on that twat Federer to win in straight sets. 6-0, 6-0 4-6, 6-0 spoilt a 40-1 acca coming in,with him not being arsed in one set.
