Well about 95% of sports bettors lose long term so a reasonable number of players losing rollover money is approx 90%.

Son, why did you start a new thread to make this point?
Son, have you got any evidence to back you your statistics or have you simply made them up?
Son, you obviously don't understand the statistics behind bonuses. I'd advise you to leave them to people who do.

I'm not saying anything. I'm just wondering if there is any empirical evidence to back up your percentages or whether you have just made them upOriginally Posted by jjgold

Dont knock JJ! The more JJgold preaches about how everyone loses the better I am feeling I am about myself and my own existance. I think I might call my father, Have talked to him since he caught me with the magazines. Thanks JJ.

Terris- Are you another self proclaimed? ![]()
SBR Founder Join Date: 8/10/2005
Skippy's numbers are good again. 95% of the gamblers are in Terris' class. These guys should never play on credit.

I thought you were all freaked out and confused by bonuses jj. You've just given a great reason for people to take all the bonuses they can get their hands on. If people are losing long-term with their picks - but they have their heart set on betting - they might as well get the extra free bets that bonus money provides.Originally Posted by jjgold

Good Point Big Cat
Its all about opinions here
SBR Founder Join Date: 7/20/2005
Mudcat- I agree. Guys like taxoman and terris should take the bonuses so that they can play longer.

Not negative posts, all I am doing is pointing out facts which some do not want to hear because right here they fit into that category
Most guys lose here

Ouch, for someone who thinks he knows his stuff. How could you possibly go 6-15 in College Football this past weekend?
SBR Founder Join Date: 9/6/2005
Who's gone 6-15? Is there a worse bettor here than The Prick?

What is so negative about stating 90% lose rollover money??
Very accurate statement. I worked in CR for a while and know
SBR Founder Join Date: 7/20/2005
JJJGold I agree with your statement. I actually thinks its more like 93% - 96% that lose rollover and their homes and life savings. I do not consider myself a pro by any means. But whoever it was that said PROS only play on credit is either ignorant or intelectually challenged. For myself low juice is and will always be #1. But if i can get a cash bonus with whatever the rollover requirement may be i will take that as well. I have been able to make a very decent lifestyle for my family and I through Sports Betting the past 6 years. Granted you need a tough stomach and at least a $100,000 starting bank in order to make a living off it in my opinion. With all wagers between 0.1% to 2% max stake.
Some bettors play on credit and some bettors play on Cash. My father always told me CASH is KING. For those you play on credit because they have a quality agent, respect of their peers and so forth, then so be it. But for those you play on credit because they have no cash. Then good F-in luck. LOL
Tacomax i beleive Raiders went 6-15 in CFB this past weekend.
Cheers,

Excellent post Value Bets
I try to teach here but some do not want to listen but they will come around
SBR Founder Join Date: 7/20/2005
Add Value Bets to the wannebe class. First I did not go 5-16 but it's your story. Another idiot that makes a living gambling off of bonuses.
Of course you should take any bonus that you can get but the better you are the less and less bonuses you will get.
The only way to keep bonuses under the radar is if you are playing in Vegas. You can play +EV video poker in Vegas and use a slot card. The card allows you to build up bonus points which can be used for food or cash rebates.
Winning in sports gambling offshore will not keep you under the radar. Books such as Heritage profile the players and will send someone such as Value Bets a 40% reup bonus while others won't get that offer.

I know that on Betfair that only around 5 or 6% of punters turn a profit(From Betfair's own figures)
So JJ's figures would seem about right.

Bootsy most of my data is pretty accurate as I do my homework
SBR Founder Join Date: 7/20/2005
Raiders your laughable. You can check my posts at 3 foums to see if im making my monies off bonuses. You my friend are in denial. How did you do in CFB this past weekend ? Heritage is way overrated anyways. No overnights, and 107 lines only 3 hours of the day. They did offer me a 20/20/20 with a $500 bonus cash cap. But i turned them down. They have nothing to offer besides 107 lines 3 hours per day.

Value Bets- You claim to make a living gambling. Why are books giving you huge bonuses if you make a living gambling?
There's nothing to be ashamed of in taking a bonus. Everyone should take a bonus if they feel the lines at the book warrant playing there. In fact I recommend signing up at 777Rock and taking the 25% bonus.
What I'm saying is that you do NOT make a living gambling and it's very obvious. Why do you claim that in your FIRST post here.
No one cares if you are a pro. Don't blow smoke. I only jump on the liars and scammers and you fit the first category.

I never said I was a pro??? and I said I will take a bonus when it is offered to me. I did not go saying i was a bonus whore. But you wont catch me at a 2nd tier book just for the bonus.Tell me where i said that in my first post. I said for the past 6 years now I have a made a very decent lifestyle for my family and I Sports Betting. I only stick to 4-10 books Betfair, Pinnacle Sports, Canbet, Wsex, Grande, Will Hill, Ladbrokes, and CRIS have never denied me a payout in the past 6 years. So to say you can only do it in Vegas is ignorant. If anything VEGAS has been 2nd rate for a while now when compared to the offshore Giants

Value Bets- You want to stand by your post that you make a living gambling or do you want to admit that you donated to the books year after year. Come clean and all will be forgiven.
