Professional Sportsbetting

[redietz]

All the good/successful sports bettors I know don't take on clients.

Why wouldn't they...aren't clients essentially a freeroll?

When it comes to investing clients one should only be getting a very small percentage, unless they are unethicly fleecing their clients. That wouldn't fit the narrative of Integrity Sports.

Let us assume a tout(for lack of a better term) is making his clients 10% via handicapping (That seems unrealistically high, but we will go with it).
let's assume he gets in 2 million worth of bets for the year on behalf of his clients and let's assume he gets 10% of that. That means he would be only making 20k for the year.

Without investors, he would be making 200k per year. Why would one want to give up 180k? I can understand if a guy is first starting out and he needs to build up a bankroll.

Red said himself, AP Sports betting dwarfs most other forms of AP because it's highly scalable. If you have had years of a proven track record, there's very little reason you would need or want investors for long since a meager bankroll should be growing year after year using Kelly.

There are probably some benefits to having investors beyond the freeroll aspect, but I highly doubt that would make up for that 90% you are giving up.

This is the last time I address you, Axel. You have very little idea what you are talking about. You keep saying "sports betting." Get it through your head -- for the most part, there is no "sports betting." It's not highly scalable. Figure out why -- hint: it's partly because (1) it ain't coin flips and (2) expertise is restricted to individual sports because, guess what, sports are completely different.

So that pretty much buries whatever naive perspective you bring to the table.

You know, I don't go around AP-splainin' blackjack to kewlJ or AP-splainin' video poker to Dancer or AP-splainin' any other games to you. But you think, and these other brain dead, arrogant alleged AP maroons, that you have cornered the market on overall gambling wisdom, when you inhabit your little individual crevices, involving not much money, with your college sophomore probability and wanderings around casinos.

Have you ever considered that maybe other people know specific things a lot more and a lot better than you do? Because if that ever dawns on you, maybe you can muster enough discipline to not pontificate when you have no idea what you're talking about.

Leonardo Da APs -- it's like a plague of lemmings.

What I really love about you guys is that the thread is titled "Professional Sports Betting." You have one poster who actually was a professional sports bettor, and every one of you "APs" thinks you know better than him. Have you ever considered the irony of that?

LOL. It's not like I haven't done it for 45 years and gotten rave reviews in the process. "Nooooooooo" as John Belushi used to say. I especially like "The Riddler" making money with every single project, and nobody mentions him. It's comical.

Have a good one.
