I believe that's one question(why mess around with free contests) he did answer. It comes down to the bragging rights
That makes sense given the nature of that business.
If you enter enough tournaments over the years you'll probably do well in some thus having the opportunity of padding your resume. I can certainly see how that might be worthwhile since it's like getting paid for free advertising.
Imagine sitting in your house for years betting sports for any amount of money. Wasting away thinking you’ve done something lol. No adventure hardly traveling just sitting there looking at a bunch of black guys stats and book lines.
It’s a pussy way to beat the casinos. I walk in the front door with the entire place doing everything they can to keep me out. You Pussy ass sports bettors sit at home jacking off between bets.
I rather work at Bucees then win money betting sports
If/when done correctly, I believe sports betting is at the top when it comes to advantage play. Obviously, there are better opportunities that come around in other areas, but oftentimes that stuff gets shut down, but a good sports bettor has longevity and some consistency with the opportunity to make 10's of millions if you are savvy and dedicated to your craft. You can get a fuckton of action in.
All the legitimate sports AP's that I know of personally have a significant amount of money dwarfing most other AP's bankrolls.
I'm always perplexed to find someone claiming to be an expert with the ability to beat sports for decades, and yet, they don't seem to have done anything substantial monetarily wise with it.
I must then lump guys like that in with the "I have an 80% hit rate on even money roulette bets and only make enough to pay my low-cost bills."

Of course the most successful APs are horse bettors they have made the most money so I agree there’s money in betting sports. Doesn’t change my opinion that it’s a boring life. Much like playing online poker eventually it gets boring as fuck.
Qualify of life is maxed out at around 5 million Liquid IMO. There’s Really nothing else to do or buy that moves the needle at this point. Everything you start to buy after that is just a flex that brings no joy. Working on new things looking for different opportunities, exploring that’s life. Sitting behind a computer screen all day is not my idea of a fulfilling life. But to each his own.
I will add It’s also a cowards way to beat a casino. Long distance like from a undisclosed location.
Seed, you missed the heyday of in-person sports betting. Not my fault you're too young. I spent 90-100 days a year in LV for more than 20 years -- all wagering in person for half that time, then reduced to half the wagers in person for the last 10 years. Traipsing six or seven miles half the days to gather lines and bet while making on-spot judgements. Nothing more in-person or in-your-face than that. Plus you got to wrangle comps at each stop. Plus figuring out the best Monday night locales where a serious bettor could kill the drawings and promos. I walked away with many $100 and $500 drawing wins and Circus steakhouse meals just hanging at Circus for the MNF game and making normal wagers. Because what serious bettor is hanging out at Circus-Circus on Monday night?
Nothing more face to face than months of that.
By the way, Seed, a woman I dated was accused of being a working girl during Halloween one Monday night at Circus-Circus. She was dressed as a Fembot from Austin Powers. I wore a $2 plastic Viking helmet so I got free food ("costumes" got free food). They tried to throw her out. We had a discussion. Just a reminder that prostitution is frowned upon in Las Vegas and has been for a long, long time. In case you didn't know. LOL.
You know what's funny, Seed? Walking around making in-person bets was useful in Las Vegas as little as 15 years ago, since many places did not have online wagering. Some people might think that the fact you don't know this and presume otherwise is another hole in your narrative. You must not have been doing this stuff very long. Or you don't know Las Vegas at all.

I was going to mention Horse betting, but the big money makers seem to find very unique things. I think it would be fairly difficult for the average Joe to have any shot at making money betting on horses. I believe the average Joe with an understanding some mathematics, +EV, and advantage play could do well betting on sports if he were dedicated to doing it.
Betting sports isn't necessarily boring. It's like a treasure hunt finding good stuff to bet. You can travel to different markets and be involved in various different +EV aspects of sports betting, I think there's enough variety to keep it fresh. I wouldn't know what 5 years doing nothing but sports would feel like. I don't know why anyone would ever do that, I don't think I could help myself from other forms of Advantage Play along the way, even if the money was better just focusing on sports.
I’ve done sports bonus churning for easy money some Big scores, but after day 4 of sitting in a hotel room or riding around to all the local Starbucks placing live and online bets to clear its boring. Eventually I just ended up chopping with a guy to churn our accounts just so I didn’t have to do it.
Same for online casino bonus clearing we had it down to about 40 min per person to clear all the sites in one state. You know I’m sure (avoiding the clearing requirements) yes it was easy money. There’s just something about walking in the front door of a casino winning money and leaving. That and the exploring / looking for rare opportunities in casinos. The travel everything like that is what I enjoy the most. Putting together a complex team play avoiding surveillance and the rat APs that take pictures of you constantly in the casino. That’s more fun
I had a similar situation in the last month betting NBA basketball with an offshore online sportsbook. Nets were -6 points in a game but +190 on the money line. I bet a few hundred on the money line. The bet was still active as the game started, but during the game, the bet just disappeared. No explanation, no email stating the bet was void, like I sometimes get. Just disappeared as if never made.
Had this been a brick and mortar with bet slip in hand, I would have known what to do about it. In this case, I didn't think there was anything to do. I sent a message which wasn't answered. And this is exactly why I resisted dealing with online sportsbooks and the bonus whoring for so long.
Dan Druff: "there's no question that MDawg has been an obnoxious braggart, and has rubbed a ton of people the wrong way. There's something missing from his stories. Either they're fabricated, grossly exaggerated, or largely incomplete".
The kewl-J never did tell us how he manage to garner such ridiculously light rolls-over, plays-through requirement for his sports-bet bonus hawkings, hey hey.
YES I DID! Axelwolf has also come back to this several times. I spelled out exactly what my rollover amounts where and why: because I had a history of being a losing sport bettor for several years at several of the sportsbooks. I didn't exactly say it was 4x rollover at one and 6 times at another because I didn't want to be that specific in fear of anything being tied to me. I doubt sportsbooks in costa Ricos or wherever are reading VCT, but I just didn't want to say that, while that play was active just in case.
The rollover and bonuses I received at 2 of the books where NOT offers shown or available on their websites. I received them because of several years as a losing player, just as a losing slot player for years at a brick and mortor might receive better offers than the normal. When I decided to bonus whore this year, several previous losing years benefited me.
In one case, not going to say which one, I received an email from "my host" at the sportsbook at the start of football season saying he had good offers available if I was interested. When I responded, he said 8 x rollover. I said no thanks, I have better than that at another sportsbook I am using and then he dropped it to 4x. Before he dropped it I wasn't even planning on playing that sportsbook.
A player, especially with a losing track record can negotiate terms differently, significantly better than posted. I happened to take advantage of that the first time I decided to bonus whore. What is so hard about that to understand?
I am now into (well into) my second round and the rollovers aren't quite so good. I am going to have to be very close to 50/.50 (hopefully above) to make any real money.
So fuck you Soxfan. I have explained, just as I always do. It is just some of you haters don't want to hear and accept what you dont want to hear.
Hey Hey!

Should we post up ALL of the kewl-J dubious claim and allow cats to pass judgements on the veracity of em, ones by one, hey hey????
Can’t believe I’m confirming this fairytale writer However what he’s talking about in regards to host offers in the sports book based on slot loss in a casino is something I have worked with teams of people. Chances are Kew read about it somewhere tho and didn’t actually do anything.
To expand on this and to once again highlight the advantages of working with a good team just imagine the possibilities of this play. If you have the knowledge of how every level of a particular rewards program works with unlimited people. Tell me again how individuals make more money then a well oiled team of APs working together. Yes it involves many working parts with in many cases incomplete information but everything can be worked out. Teams are betting then individuals
