Against -110 lines, winning 53% of the time is a little less than 1.2% edge. That means someone would need to make over $4.2 million in bets to earn $50,000. Making 100 bets per month would mean each bet should be $3,500. I find making 100 bets or more per week to be the best way to move past this sticking point.
Find anything with value. For various reasons, that tends to be dogs. Take the 1% edge bets you see everyday. And some days there might be 10% edges available.
Kickbacks can definitely help. And it can be huge. If there is zero edge on the bet, then points / cashback, etc. means there is an edge. Unfortunately this isn't 2004 offshore betting, where breaking even could mean winning 10% just on the bonuses they were offering
Parlays do not change the math of what is breakeven, what is losing, and what is profitable. They magnify the profits and losses, simply by increasing the action.
I do love talking to those guys on the phone. I wish they would call more often. From now on, every time I hear a radio commercial for them, I am going to call.
