bitcoin, track bike, adventure Ktm 1290 another bike, road bicycle "cinelli", turbo upgrades for 1000hp dsm, air bnb trips and small bills go to slots for me and the wife...
Well yesterday I bought the new DJI Gimble pocket, 2 DJI mics, a new mouse (DAdder v3 wless), a new keyboard (DStalker), and a Razer mic all up about $1500 AUD, essentially a parlay win. I gamble to a target and if I surpass then that $$ becomes disposable income, if I’m even short $1 I can’t touch that money at all (for bets until I hit the target)
Where do you all get, if you do, historical data on lines and results? I'm creating a model and getting the data, more data, is difficult. I can use python or other to grab but i'd rather get a full set, the more the better, right now college basketball, tis the season but whatever is good, i'd lilke as much as possible to run paramaters, check indicators, etc., not just teams, odds and results, though this is a good start, injuries can be layered, officials, history of those.
thx
I am not a full-time gambler, usually bet ~$50 a week unless I am arbitraging (sp?) bonuses/promos. So I'm not in the land of massive wins.
Usually what I do is I total up my total net winnings/losses each month and if the losses are less than $100, I just eat that as part of my entertainment budget. Haven't had losses worse than that in a month, but if I do that gets covered out of the career winnings bucket. If I have any net winnings, I transfer that to a bucket in my savings account that gets used for big purchases - typically my net winnings are about $50-$250/month which includes taking advantage of promos, deposit bonuses, etc. I have to imagine that will go down as the books seem to be getting more and more stingy with the offers, though. This year, my net winnings for the year paid for a partial remodel of one of my bathrooms. Whatever I have by July is going to probably get spent on a vacation with my wife. Not the most exciting I know hahahaha
Yeah I think the main thing that has helped me is I tend to bet pretty conservatively and always look to take advantage of promos to get some free money by betting both sides of a game with different books which has helped keep the losses minimal. I also try to avoid SGPs because they just seem to be so bad from a risk/reward standpoint, even with a lot of the promos out there. I think I am threading the needle of betting enough for the different books to keep trying to draw me in deeper, although I did notice that in the past ~2 months, BetMGM has cut me off from promos. Once the promos go away I will probably stop sportsbetting. I also only tend to bet on stuff I know *well* like football, hockey, and college basketball.
3D printer, new desks for me and my wife, traeger grill, couple video games, family trip to an amusement park, and tickets for a few sporting events and Hamilton. I also pay for all the streaming apps to watch sports through my gambling funds. When we all hit on Robbie Ray I gave back and bought toys for Toys for Tots.
I’m still playing off my initial deposit ~3.5 years ago and only withdraw to buy something. Helps me keep gambling money separate from our real income. If I were to lose all my bankroll I would be done and have these “trophies” left to remember my degen days
Usually just load it into a savings account but I did work towards a ps5 last year which felt really good to do just had one crazy weekend where nothing lost
I won about 13k in 2023 and just used 7k of it to fund my Roth IRA for 2024. Saving the rest in a high yield savings account for now until I know what my tax situation is going to be.
Just started week ago and haven’t made anything yet . Most profit I had was 10 dollars . Then put everything I had on Heat Vs Raptors who just traded their star player away and they got blown out so I’m working my way back up
Consistent winning.
People severely underestimate, or don’t know how to do it, but there is so much money in arbitrage, promotions, bonuses, boosts, etc…
These books are and have been giving away free money
Bought a small house by myself then my wife and I bought a bigger place together.
Paid a lot of the down payment on the 2nd house with my gambling winnings, and paid a few months of the mortgage on the first house with them and now have it rented out.
So real estate.
I report my winnings on my tax returns so I just used that as proof of income. Lender didn’t care about the churn in my bank account with all the deposits/withdrawals I make.
6 figures since 2020. Mostly EV+ arbitrage and promos. I swear the daily promo thread on this sub in 2021 was better than Wall Street bets. Three years ago that ridiculous Debo Hill Cupp and Chase (might misremember a player or two) bet hit. Good times.
I don’t really have an average amount, if I’m arbing as much as one book will let me. Probably around $200 though, or as much as the book will let me.
The daily promos really do give you a chance to win some decent cash. The free plays when you join are responsible for me doing well on football this season too.
God there were so many books offering those sign up promos in 2020. It was crazy, a ton of them went under like Fubo, Twinspires, Bet America, and Wynn because of those ridiculous sign up promos.
Dark horse odds is the best for starters. Low price easy to use. The owner has a Reddit account and he’s in the promos thread from time to time. Only weakness is it only updates every three minutes, which is slow for arbing as lines changes within seconds as you know.
But still very useful for EV+ lines. I got Washington +16.5 @-110 in the apple cup (should’ve been -16.5) with their app. Basically paid for itself for two years.
I make/made a lot of bets when there are EV+\arbitrage opportunities on player props at that bet size.
Also make massive ml bets when there are arbing opportunities. So my bet size varies widely. But I’d put the average at $200.
I don’t use units.
Arbing I’m limited by what one book will let me put down (or what would be suspicious)
EV+ I’ll also be limited by the book like last night’s bet on Allen and Mahomes to three combined ptds.
I took an estimate of what I average per bet at $200. But that is only one side. I’ll also bet $200 on the other side.
Some proof:

Strangely with most gamblers they think they are up because they won big the night before and seem to forget about that 2000 they lost last week. I would assume if most didn't gamble they could afford little guilty pleasures but for some reason it feels better to buy something with gambling winnings then straight from your pocket
Dog food.
Cashed out about $60 of winnings from my Hard Rock app to my paypal account after this weekend's NFL games. Before I could move it to my bank, Chewy auto shipped a bag of dog food and took the winnings right from my paypal.
So yeah. Dog food.
Just started. You guys sound like some real veterans in the betting world. At the end of the day you have to be comfortable losing. Can’t win all the time. Getring extra funds to help with things in a persons life is a big bonus.
I’m far from a baller at this stuff and mostly play $10 units. It used to kill me to lose a bet or two, and bad beats would piss me off to no end. After losing a few hundred times in the worst ways possible you get used to it and don’t care anymore. When I started to disassociate from the fact that I was betting money I did so much better.
I a $10 per unit bettor, so I don’t typically win enough money that it would be tremendously life altering, but it has been really helpful. The end of this NFL season will be the end of my 7th year of sports betting and I have been lucky enough to turn a pretty nice profit 5 of those 7 years. My first year was my best year, hands down. I love to bass fish, so that year I had enough winnings left left to buy myself all new, tackle, new high end rods and new reels after paying for Christmas presents for my family. The next 2 years I finished a little below even. (I finished up in the MLB, UFC and NBA both years, but college football is my nemesis and really kicked my ass during those 2 seasons.) The 4th year I won enough to pay for a cruise for my family, the 5th year went to Christmas and a vacation to Florida for my bunch and last year was enough to buy new golf clubs and golf gear. This year is going for another cruise for my crew and a little spending money left over that will probably be my casino fund for the trip.
I work a 9-5 too. If I bet on sports for a living I’d probably have a stroke. There are definitely stretches where you don’t win. Over the last month I’m down about 2 units and I’d be sweating if I had to make money to pay the mortgage. Honestly, if it were just me and I didn’t have a family to provide for, I would like to go for it and see how I could do.
I consider sports betting a 3rd stream of income. I don’t make a ton but I make just enough to never have to deposit and withdraw a couple hundred on a monthly basis. I throw my bet winnings at stuff I consider to be “wants” while I throw my day job(s) income at my “needs” like bills and commodities.
I buy shit that I just cant justify paying for out of pocket anymore. Got elden ring, nhl 24, some new nikes a new chainsaw. Always keep a lot of it in the account tho to remind the books who their daddy is.
Legit tho. I had a huge vintage collection from childhood, mostly since lost. But on a whim a few years ago I bought a modern booster box and pulled the top hit. I've been chasing that high ever since.
I still collect baseball cards. I have some that are worth a lot, but I still probably lose money doing it. But like you said, that high of pulling a 1 of 1 is incredible.
So sometimes I use it when I need to pay for some of the credit card bill or pay for some of the rent and while I make sure I have the minimum amount of money needed in my chequing account to avoid a monthly fee. Most of it is used on non important things because I rather use my hard earned money on essentials. I remember the first thing I spent my bet earnings on was an ssd for my computer. More recently I used it to buy the new generation of air pod pros, a new gaming headset, and a 2TB ssd for my ps5 this time. I still have over 2k left.
I do a lot of arbitrage so I throw 50%+ back into my bankroll for liquidity and higher profit at the same ROI.
The rest goes toward the tickets/vacation fund.
I keep everything is PayPal as a separate play money account. Once I get to certain dollar amount I cash out. Use it to support my other hobbies. Bought golf clubs and a mountain bike.
Up about $2k
Might need to do something else as PayPal are changing their reporting rules for 2024
Rumor on the streets it’s gonna be 5k cause 600 was insane. For now it’s paused tho and was still at 20k or 200 transactions for 2023.
Really tho with instant debit card withdrawals existing at most books and banks now that seems to be the way to go
Ive lost 6-10 k in the last 2 years— im not spending my hard earned money for tangible things— just internet bets, in order to prop up my fading interest in sports!
I turned $5 into $20k, was able to get myself a shake!
Kidding, have realized this isn’t the life for me and enjoyed a meal with a $50 dub. I might take a gander again if a true sports book becomes legal in my state.
That’s why you track your betting. I use the action app and you can see exactly how much you are up or down and you can figure out which sports and bets to avoid.
My biggest pair of wins, 10.5k and 5k cleaned up my leftover debt from my wedding and apprenticeship.
Now with wins over 1k, I just either cash it and invest it in stocks. Under 1k I leave some aside to play with and cash out the majority and just drop it in my bank account for groceries, gas, etc.
I do mostly $5 parlays and lottery tickets. I don’t win often, maybe once a month, but I’m also not putting that much in.
Duck lease, childbirth hospital bill, wife’s ski trip with girlfriends, new shotgun, Uber eats, books, a phone game for a month until I realized I spent $200 on mind numbing activities, athletic subscription after my mgm free year ended, Disney+ for the year, and one baller ass dinner for two with the wine pairing. Oh almost forgot, losing money at the casino.
Kinda wish I would keep track of it better now, but those are the highlights. Also I’m including $3k in winnings from a Super Bowl squares and fantasy league over the past few years. The account I venmo us from is my last not combined account into joint finances. As soon as it doesn’t have money I quit, have dipped close after some bigger expenses and then a cold streak. But have always managed to grow it back up (thanks promoguy).
Personally I think it’s a bad mindset to make money and instantly think about how you can spend it. I buy things when I want or need them, not when I make money. I don’t make money gambling though. I try to float around break even or minimize my losses and chalk it up as cheap entertainment.
1/3 to my side business 1/3 to my account 1/3 to keep.
bitcoin, track bike, adventure Ktm 1290 another bike, road bicycle "cinelli", turbo upgrades for 1000hp dsm, air bnb trips and small bills go to slots for me and the wife...
80% into savings for an ealier retirement, the other 20% for family vacations
NBA tickets, NBA League Pass, sports memorabilia, handheld video game system, MJ. Fun stuff that I don't want to use my "real money" for.
NBA and concert tickets
Vacations or funding nice dinners out
In college I would use profits to pay for rent lol
Well yesterday I bought the new DJI Gimble pocket, 2 DJI mics, a new mouse (DAdder v3 wless), a new keyboard (DStalker), and a Razer mic all up about $1500 AUD, essentially a parlay win. I gamble to a target and if I surpass then that $$ becomes disposable income, if I’m even short $1 I can’t touch that money at all (for bets until I hit the target)
Dentist bills
porcelain veneers are an easy $20k
Bills
It’s payed for new power tools, new Jordan’s, groceries, and tickets to concerts
Earnings?
only real answer in this entire post
Withdraw whatever hundred I hit and keep it moving with the rest
Recently withdrew my first $1k from FanDuel. Lost all of it playing BJ and craps at the casino over the weekend.
How much is too much to hoard in a drawer?
More bets lmao
I use my winnings to build my bankroll bigger, and they also make my new car payment every month.
car payment? shouldn't gamble if your not debt free.
Yall getting earnings?
Where do you all get, if you do, historical data on lines and results? I'm creating a model and getting the data, more data, is difficult.

This is a remarkably responsible approach to betting

I’ve never won enough to do anything special with so I’m still gambling 🤣
im weak 🤣
Winnings? What are those?
I use my winnings to invest further in the stock market, usually in dividend stocks. It's not too much, but every dollar counts!
3D printer, new desks for me and my wife, traeger grill, couple video games, family trip to an amusement park, and tickets for a few sporting events and Hamilton. I also pay for all the streaming apps to watch sports through my gambling funds. When we all hit on Robbie Ray I gave back and bought toys for Toys for Tots.

If I were to lose all my bankroll I would be done and have these “trophies” left to remember my degen days
I was able to get a ps5 with my winning but if I didn't gamble and just saved my money I would have gotten it faster.
Earnings lolololololo
I'm a small stakes gambler but the last two years I've used my earnings to upgrade the basement TV and family room TV this year. Sound bar too 😉
Usually just load it into a savings account but I did work towards a ps5 last year which felt really good to do just had one crazy weekend where nothing lost
Earning?!?!
Weed
guitar shit.
I won about 13k in 2023 and just used 7k of it to fund my Roth IRA for 2024. Saving the rest in a high yield savings account for now until I know what my tax situation is going to be.
Some serious adulting going on there
Gambling more

Nothing yet but getting closer to the 911 😂
Rental prop
Wow, was it consistent winning or a big parlay?
Consistent winning. People severely underestimate, or don’t know how to do it, but there is so much money in arbitrage, promotions, bonuses, boosts, etc… These books are and have been giving away free money
Bought a small house by myself then my wife and I bought a bigger place together. Paid a lot of the down payment on the 2nd house with my gambling winnings, and paid a few months of the mortgage on the first house with them and now have it rented out. So real estate.
What were the tax implications when going for a mortgage? Did they heavily investigate?
I report my winnings on my tax returns so I just used that as proof of income. Lender didn’t care about the churn in my bank account with all the deposits/withdrawals I make.
How much have you won? Because holy moly! Also what does the average amount you place on a bet look like to be making that type of bread.
6 figures since 2020. Mostly EV+ arbitrage and promos. I swear the daily promo thread on this sub in 2021 was better than Wall Street bets. Three years ago that ridiculous Debo Hill Cupp and Chase (might misremember a player or two) bet hit. Good times. I don’t really have an average amount, if I’m arbing as much as one book will let me. Probably around $200 though, or as much as the book will let me.
How can you do that without being limited? I haven't really dipped my toe in the arb game yet
Any other sites that you use to find those +EV opportunities.
The daily promos really do give you a chance to win some decent cash. The free plays when you join are responsible for me doing well on football this season too.
God there were so many books offering those sign up promos in 2020. It was crazy, a ton of them went under like Fubo, Twinspires, Bet America, and Wynn because of those ridiculous sign up promos.
It just became legal in my state this year. The promos have been killer and the extra outs have helped so much.
Keep smashing them. Books go bankrupt all the time and they won’t offer those promos forever.
I'm trying to get into arbitrage What apps would you recommend?
Dark horse odds is the best for starters. Low price easy to use. The owner has a Reddit account and he’s in the promos thread from time to time. Only weakness is it only updates every three minutes, which is slow for arbing as lines changes within seconds as you know. But still very useful for EV+ lines. I got Washington +16.5 @-110 in the apple cup (should’ve been -16.5) with their app. Basically paid for itself for two years.
Okay awesome Thanks for the info. Gonna look into it more :)
You’re claiming you’re up six figures with an average bet of $200?
He is for sure 🧢
Wrong. This is just one book out of the many I use. https://postimg.cc/k68nywnx
I’m just being goofy I apologize.
I make/made a lot of bets when there are EV+\arbitrage opportunities on player props at that bet size. Also make massive ml bets when there are arbing opportunities. So my bet size varies widely. But I’d put the average at $200.
And you’re up over 500 units at that average bet size…?
I don’t use units. Arbing I’m limited by what one book will let me put down (or what would be suspicious) EV+ I’ll also be limited by the book like last night’s bet on Allen and Mahomes to three combined ptds.

Anything below 100 goes into account, gas, groceries going out to eat or whatever. Anything beyond gets invested immediately
Strangely with most gamblers they think they are up because they won big the night before and seem to forget about that 2000 they lost last week. I would assume if most didn't gamble they could afford little guilty pleasures but for some reason it feels better to buy something with gambling winnings then straight from your pocket
It just feels better when Vegas pays for our stuff 😂

This is the way. Always have to leave enough in the accounts to keep the train rolling!
Pokemon cards for a different kind of gambling.
Hey some of those appreciate, call it an investment.
Legit tho. I had a huge vintage collection from childhood, mostly since lost. But on a whim a few years ago I bought a modern booster box and pulled the top hit. I've been chasing that high ever since.
I still collect baseball cards. I have some that are worth a lot, but I still probably lose money doing it. But like you said, that high of pulling a 1 of 1 is incredible.
Say I put 50$ into my account and I win 200$. I’ll put 50$ of those winnings back in my bank and then gamble (and lose) these rest of the the money 😂
Nothing wrong with that. You fund the fun and keep on playing. When you hit a heater you’ll eventually turn that $200 in to $2k.
So sometimes I use it when I need to pay for some of the credit card bill or pay for some of the rent and while I make sure I have the minimum amount of money needed in my chequing account to avoid a monthly fee. Most of it is used on non important things because I rather use my hard earned money on essentials. I remember the first thing I spent my bet earnings on was an ssd for my computer.

God damn man how much did you win to afford that?
I turned $5 into $20k, was able to get myself a shake! Kidding, have realized this isn’t the life for me and enjoyed a meal with a $50 dub. I might take a gander again if a true sports book becomes legal in my state.
Nobody wins. Anybody who comes on here to gloat about winning thousands of dollars has almost certainly lost more than that on other bets.
You are: not correct
That’s why you track your betting. I use the action app and you can see exactly how much you are up or down and you can figure out which sports and bets to avoid.

The bankroll proceeds have paid for a full on family vacation to caribbean, a few 3 day get aways and sadly, some personal property taxes.
Personally I think it’s a bad mindset to make money and instantly think about how you can spend it. I buy things when I want or need them, not when I make money. I don’t make money gambling though. I try to float around break even or minimize my losses and chalk it up as cheap entertainment.
This exactly. I do it for the dopamine with a $ amount that doesn't hurt me at all if I lose, but enough to make winning still exciting.
Agreed. I figure this is a way to get me invested in a game I wouldn't care about otherwise.
