If I was making over 10K monthly, I would probably be scared of a company mysteriously cutting me off though.
 
Looooooove Oklahoma State O36 points today. TCU's defense is young and VERY vulnerable.
I also love them +5 and the ML almost as much. I feel good TCU loses today.
I also like buying a point for Cincy +10.
And Michigan -24.

Damn, good call on that TCU/OK thing.
 
Gambling establishments have guaranteed income as long as they have action. The very fastest way to drive away action is to treat customers poorly and have any sort of reputation for not paying out. Most casinos or any other gambling enterprise make it a point to pay out fast and without hassle. If there's any hassle at all it's because they want people to see that someone is getting paid out. Why risk guaranteed profits so you can swindle a little extra?

All that said, Bovada takes U.S. customers for online poker? Woot!
 
I can't even remember the name of the place but I made an account on an online gambling site so that I could bet on the Kentucky Derby. While I was waiting for the races to start I hit the online craps. Went up really fast and made a few hundred bucks. Decided I'd rather have that money and not mess around and lose it all so I cashed out. Few days later I get a delivery from DHL, a manilla envelope with a check inside.

There's no point to that story. Just wanted to share.
 
I won $45 on Wolves tonight. I have $20 on Pelicans beating Mavs (+245), and $60 on Jazz -2 (-110). Hoping for another strong night. I can't wait for my balance to get larger so I can feel more comfortable making larger bets. I'm pretty good at this.

****, did you bet $45 on the win for the Wolves or the spread? How much did you get off that?

Bad call on the Pelicans though, those guys blow.

No no. I only bet $10 on Wolves, won $45. And I won $54 from Jazz win, and lost $20 to Pelicans loss. So +$79 for the night.

Nice, I put 15 on the Warriors to cover -8.5 at teh start of the 4th quarter. They won by 9.

Put 10 on Houston to win the game at half-time on 2.5 odds.

Very nice. Looks like we both had a good night. :)
 
Put Clippers to cover +7.5 at around the 5:00 minute mark. Hopefully they don't win, but keep it close so I can hit on the Houston win and Clippers cover.

Live betting is fun.

Looks like you got both! How much $$ did you win tonight?
 
Live betting has been best way of making money for me. The books often overreact to runs, and then adjusts within seconds. If you're paying close attention, you'll get something like 10:1 odds on a small lead by the favored team for a few seconds, before it drops in half. I often jump on those, even if it's a couple of dollars.

$85

I'm still making pretty small bets. I only put $20 in the website so Im just trying to build it up slowly before I start putting up bigger bets.

You put 20 in originally? How much are you up to now?
 
The Saints/Titans line went down to -6.5!!!

I'm taking that. Last I looked at it, I think it was at -10. This seems like an easy bet. Saints have been on fire lately and I dont think Mariotta/Titans can score enough TD's to keep up.
