How much have you lost betting sports ?

[smurgerburger]

And I'm sure smurgerburger has had someone try to buy something from me during the last 10 years. You know, him under an alias, a friend, a relative or whatever. Via email or PM or calling me, since my address, phone number, and email have all been posted here.

Wait, smurgerburger didn't do any of that? Well, gosh darn it, why would he claim that I'm "selling picks?"

Maybe he's confused. Or lazy.

As to Axelwolf's comments, for 99.9% of the population, what he's proposing is largely a myth. You'd have to be 24/7 every day evaluating numbers hours by hour, and without a sense of what numbers are likely to move where, you're going to be challenged to make money. Today is not 1990. Numbers move in unison at most books, and those where it does not move in unison are boutique books where you can't get serious money down anyway.

I happen to have known the master at this, the late Larry Fletcher (AKA Southern Comfort), who had alarm bell programs announcing odds disparities before the rest of the country had internet. Fletcher is the only sports gambler who I actually believe never had a losing year. But he was plugged into some of the biggest names in handicapping, so he wasn't flying blind. When Billy Walters hired me, it was Fletcher who provided some advice regarding Mr. Walters. Fletcher proved that what Axel suggests CAN be done, but given Fletcher's skills and work ethic (he was literally 24/7 every day for every sport), I feel comfortable saying that very, very few people could pull it off.

I notice there are a number of YouTube sports bettors advocating pure numbers shopping as a formula for success, and they are more than willing to sell you programs to aid and abet you.

I thought you said you have some kind of investors that you provide picks for. Is that not accurate?

Also the % of the population that makes money line shopping is obviously not relevant to the fact that it is a thing people make money at. What % of the population makes money at poker, etc. etc.

ETA - And with regard to twitter luminaries who also sell sports betting platforms, there are extremely successful and skilled poker players that sell coaching services.
