So I fucked up on the Superbowl here, was gonna bet on ATL going into the game, then at halftime I saw the score and thought about betting on the Pats.
Anyone know what I would have won assuming a $100 bet on ATL going into the Superbowl and a bet on Pats at halftime would be?
I looked during half time.
Patriots to win Super Bowl was 11.70 during half time on Bet365.
$100 to win $1170

ATL were 2.3 before the game and 1.15 at half time so $100 could have been turned into just under $1000 if you bet them before the game then switched onto Pats.

Books are taking less bets and are better at shutting down accounts and more smart money coming to exchange markets. For example cricket was so bloody easy a few years ago and these days I'm not even having a single bet in some games because the market is so tight in play.
I'm doing OK for now and still making 6 figs sterling a year in EV terms just about but if a couple of my edges stop I'll probably be off to Australia as it's a bit more liberal over there (basically 5 years behind UK).

So I've been cut short at a bunch of books that I play at and am willing to throw this out there.
If any of you have a local book that you play at (not a major online book...aka 5dimes, pinnacle, bet365), shoot me a message and we can work out some kind of split.
My team has been kicked out of more books that I can count....
PS: I was talking to some guy here who said it couldn't be done. Got new for you...Pinnacle and Bookmaker (Betcris) has heavily limited us in certain minor sports. The big boys in sportsbetting know whats up...so take "sports cant be beaten" w/a grain of salt

If you have a enough money you can play on football draw formula, which was popular and not many can play as it requires money. Mostly odd for draw is generally 3.0 (decimal), you chose a team from top European leagues one which in previous season played most draws. You start betting only on draw of that team and in case you lose, next week you double money, eventually team will draw and you will always stay winning. This is nerve cracking formula, requires money and long-term commitment.
I used to play myself online when I have time on Weekends and could x5 any money easily on live games, mostly on Table Tennis, Volleyball, Rugby and MMA fights. First I watch match and when situation approach a critical moment would bet, odd is small but if you win 10 or so such bets daily you can easily x10 your money. Small odds and lots of them.

I think betting on sports is similar to betting on stocks for this simple reason: the game is better served not by your own intuition, but seeking the guy with the proven picks and paying him for his expertise

Mayweather now 3/10 odds. One of the best bets of all time.

Mcgregor opened at $5, now down to $3.90. I wasn't going to bet at those prices - $5 was not high enough odds to throw my money away on mac, and mayweathers odds would need too much money down to make it worthwhile.
But if they keep on building it up and a bit more mug-punter money comes in for Mcgregor, pushing mayweathers odds up over $1.30, I may have to take their money.
