goin for broke or jus goin broke
Can money really be made betting sports or is it just for entertainment?
Im doin a lot of reading on sports betting sites but its hard to figure out who is on the level and who is just trying to pick ur pocket.

Money can be made, but you MUST be disciplined. Also, it appears as if you've visited some tout sites?? Well, if you're going to purchase picks then you MUST stay disciplined and you MUST have the ability to wager enough on each play to 1) sustain the losing streaks that WILL happen, and 2) garner enough profit to pay for the service itself.

True!!! I do it for entertainment. If I make some money, Alright. I have never ever bet money I could not afford to lose. I never chase a loss and I never have gambled away bill, to try and get more money to pay other bills. I got a job and make good money at what I do. Therefore it is pure entertainment for me.

There is money to be earn. The best piece of advice I have learn is have confidence in your ability, be motivated to succed, be determine to win. No mercy on the bookie, also you will lose a lot of money in the begining so i recommend bet smallest as you can.As you get more and more comtarble then you increase your bets. Well good luck bro, like my good friend says :Is Is not Sports Gambling is Sports Investing!!!

Money can be made. The most important ingredient is having an interest in the sport, I know lots of people who bet on football and dont know much about the sport or who plays on what team etc etc, very dumb! and always never bet with your heart and always with your head!

First step........don't join a service!!!!
Second step........go to the gambling book store and by some books.
step three......don't join a service!!!!
Step four..........If you catch a man a fish he's eats for a day.......teach the man to fish and he eats for a lifetime.......read more
step 5.........you can figure out the rest on your own.
Don't waste your money!!! Learn first gamble later.
