    Yeah I learned soccer to be poor to bet on. Draws and upsets are just too common and my limited knowledge didn't help.

    Tennis takes a lot of nerve and backing your bets. I bet $100 @ $2.05 on a player to win the set when before the match had started they were paying $1.50. Basically neither player had broken, it was getting towards the end of the set (4-4) and said player was down 15-40. Backed myself and he clawed back, won the game and won the set. Best odds are in game.

    Wouldn't have picked you as a problem gambler, Rego. Thought you were a sensible lad ;)


    Aren't you a student? Yet throwing $ around on sports betting? Tut tut.

    Uhh have you read any of my posts? I don't think starting with small balances ($20) and working my way up to large sums of money and then withdrawing is problem gambling, gambling yes, problem no. When people treat it anything more than fun and start splashing money they can't avoid to lose around, then yes they need help.

    I've had an account for about a year now and am happy to say I've turned a reasonable profit (for a student anyway).

    I don't read many of your posts tbh....but fair enough. Just don't let it get out of hand. It easily can. I am genuinely concerned for your wellbeing Rego!

    Gambling is all good so long as you have control. Like I said I don't know how people can put shitloads of money in and not be scared shitless. Like the $523 I've won. I don't look at that and go man I should just keep going to thousands. I see that as "I've just won $500 and I want my money now"

    I am gonna be an accoun afterall.....

    Yeah this. The losses are minimal yet the gains are good.

    I couldn't do it as a day job like Cribb though. Nothing more than a bit of fun and some extra cash to spoil myself or save.

    Can only go back as far as 6 months and last night's heroics aren't included for some reason...

    [​IMG]

    $689.16 profit + $460.60 from last night/ today =$1149.76 profit in the last 6 months.

    Notably the first 6 months of the year from memory I only just broke even by like a small amount. Even so.

    Share your picks Reg, I'd be keen to compare.

    Do a bit of NBA betting myself, doing alright lately, 8/11 picks past three days. It seems like tomorrow is a hard day to pick spread wise though.

    I've been betting a bit but with no luck. NBA has been screwing me over. Still up from Melbourne Cup though

    It's Soccer that gets me. I enjoy a punt on it, but too often it's hard to pick and get a winner.

    Will do. May as well start a thread to keep it seperate.

    Today I had the Bucks -7 @ $1.95 and Houston -6 @ $1.90

    Both of which won.

    Yeah I'm the same. Even when I pick what should be an easy win for the favourite it ends up being an upset.

    Houston - 12
    Portland - 7.5

    Today's bets. Tempted to do Houston/ NY over 194 total too.

    Hmm, Houston on a back to back is what puts me in a little doubt for that one. Mind you, NY are also on a b2b.
    I like the Portland bet though, good luck.

    I quite like the overs on Houston/NY, only thing I hate is NY's terrible offense. We know that Houston will definitely put up the points, it's all on NY to back us up on the other end.

    I'll be back with my final picks later.
