What kind of budget or money do you spend

[Luke]

Yeah, not to mention that no bookie would allow themselves to get beat up so badly over a long period of time. If you win at that high of a clip, you have to find people with a good credit line to place wagers for you. You don't just stick with one bookie who is happy to pay you out every single week of the season.

It is possible that someone could win at a 73% clip over 6 seasons, but it would be in the 99.95% (or some similar large number) percentile of winners. A huge outlier in other words. I can imagine that it is possible because I've seen some crazy runs in gambling, but without any proof you have to take stuff like that with a grain of salt.

Let's see him post his picks in real time.

As stated earlier, I have gone through numerous bookies in the last couple of years. Look, I have nothing to prove. I do not own a website, I'm not trying to start a website, I'm not trying to start a business, nor am I touting my service. I simply stated that I spend my gambling winnings on cards/memorabilia/etc. I have a family, a nursing degree, I played college baseball, I now play ultra competitive softball, and work for a health insurance company. I'm a normal regular guy who happens to fly under the radar and make a couple bucks betting NCAA/NFL football. For the record I bet $100-$500 a game with an occasional $1000/$2000 here and there. Again, if you do not believe me I'm completely 100% fine with that.

I can't prove anything, and you may well be telling the truth, but I am naturally going to be skeptical of anyone claiming a 73 percent success rate betting FB games against the point spread over many years when the most successful professionals are at 60. That would make you one of the greatest gamblers of all time. Sure, it's possible.

That wouldn't be that great in men's softball. If I am not hitting that, I am pissed at myself.

[Bpm0014]

Haha. It's softball. And I bat leadoff. So I better hit .700. I have 2 Rings. (Don't laugh).

[Bpm0014]

Ring 2

LOL. But you aren't playing ultra competitive I bet.

[Bpm0014]

He is correct. .730 is not that great in competitive softball. It's good, but leadoff should hit .800+

It doesn't add up....a winning % like that gambling on sports ! ????

Well said.

I usually bat 3 or 4...

[Bpm0014]

You must be a pretty good hitter. 3rd in softball is almost always the best hitter on the team...

Ok....Our team is mediocre so I am a stand out . I love playing though.....btw, I am left handed and play ss, 3rd, 2nd and all over the outfield when needed.....Sometimes our team has both a lefty ss and lefty 2nd base. It makes double plays interesting. You should see me spin when I play 2nd....it's pretty good except the ball goes all of the place sometimes......(most times it's on target though)

Back to topic, I used to spend a ton relative to my resources. Now I spend a little less (at least until some family finances get figured out)
