I´m used to bet on sports lately on 888 poker and I´m learning that this can be an easy way to get money but we need to be in allert all the time and pay attention on the games and try to study about the team or player you are betting on.
Pay attention, this can be easy but can be dangerous because I almost bet everything I had on Real madrid against Totenham and Totenham impressed the whole world beating real madrid 3x1.

I think to bet on sports need to know very well the team in General to be very prepared, even if compared to poker came without prepare to play count the money thrown to the wind and stavkom.

Easy yes and no...
To me with my humble experience you have to :
- invest some big amount of money
- try to grind, not to rob the bank
- avoid being greedy (depends on your method but rather lookin on mid-low odds)
- forbid combos to yourself (not more than 2)

Everything that I've never done :elefant: I like to make some (crazy) combos with little amount, cause I take it the fun way.

You are absolutely right... million percent. Even a roulette keeping 5 dollars & getting 10 in couple of seconds.

In poker, playing $5 tournament game, have to play for 2 hrs to get 7 dollars & then after 3 hrs 10 dollars and so on..... And any moment u lose, lot of stress and mental health is effected by continuous bad beats and disturbance in overall happiness and state of mind.

Long Term speaking, roulette is more safe than poker to lose your money :
Red /r black, even /r odd is 48,64% chances winning for European roulette, 46,37% for American.

You play 2 hours u get 7$ , 3 u get 10$ , 5 u get 120$.

And if you believe that sports betting is a no-stress way to earn money....

I'd prefer choosing poker, be in good physical shape and build a strong spirit

if sports rates were in the easy way to earn money, then bookmaker offices would already be ruined. the most popular types of rates in all world are rates on soccer. many people love soccer, look and understand it, but can't win at a distance. who wins against those very little.

I like Sportsbetting too, sometimes I'm quite good at it and have a better ROI that at poker... but in my country you have to pay 5% taxes on betting wins :(

I prefer to play poker but, sure I had some betting sessions wich went much pore profitable then playing poker :D

So I bet sports regularly as my main gambling activity (I haven't had much time to play poker in the past few years, and online poker is banned in my country anyway)... and if you're going in telling yourself it's an "easy way to make money" you're in for the rudest of shocks.

It seems easy if you put on a couple of bets here and there and have a few wins. But the books are generally pretty sharp and you've gotta find a defined edge to be able to beat them on a regular basis. If you think just watching the games or following ESPN news or whatever is enough, you've got another thing coming. Most long term successful sports bettors use complex modelling to inform their plays.

I'll throw one piece of advice out for free since it seems like there's a lot of brand new sports bettors in ITT: never, ever, pay for picks. The vast majority of people selling picks are scammers, and even if you somehow find a service that's not, the books will move off their lines so you won't be able to get the bets down anyway. So just don't do it.

Yep, 100%. And if it were easy, the sports books would all be out of business... but they're not, and that should tell you something :p

I'm not sure what you're getting at here: roulette is -EV.

Under standard rules it has a house edge of 2.7% or 5.26%, depending on whether you're playing with a single or double zero wheel.

So it doesn't matter how long you play for, what "strategy" you use or anything else. Nobody bring up Martingale unless you've got an infinite bankroll and access to a table with no maximum bet. Otherwise, for every $100 you bet on roulette, you can only expect to get back between $94.74 and $97.30.

You don't go from $7 to $10 to $120 just because you played roulette for longer. You can expect to swing up and down a bit based on short term variance, but every single bet you make is a bad one, and you have no expectation of actually profiting in the long run.

I agree for roulette mate, I said that long term speaking, it's an easier to LOSE your money than poker.

And when I answered to Aparajit, I said you go from $7 to $10 to $120 because you played a poker MTT longer ;)

Earnings on rates can be attributed to high-risk investments, however, this method of financial investments can bring much more profit than, say, ordinary Bank contributions to the Deposit. As for risk, it is present in all transactions related to finances.

Hence, the first and largely determine the rates rule for beginners: playing in the Sportsbook only on the availability of money – that is, those that you can spend without risk to their own well-being.

It is not necessary to play for money borrowed or of the total family budget.

Yea it is a controlled -EV game.It is just gaming.Do not do it you are guaranteed to lose money that is all anyone needs to know about gaming. Poker is different as it is impossible to control a poker tournament.

It's the way people using it that makes it EV- , because except rates, gambling sites do not control a lot of things

If I understand you correctly, you're saying that sports betting is -EV and that you're guaranteed to lose money?

If so then... I've gotta disagree. It's not easy to win money at, not everyone can do it, but it's certainly possible. In the same way that it's possible to win money playing poker, even though not everyone can do it and it's not easy. But it's not a guaranteed -EV play like slots or roulette.

Agreed.
There is some arithmetic ways to bet safely and to make it EV+ if you know your sports a little bit. But Oz, there is some for roulette too! (while slots is 90% loose guaranteed)

For poker, sports betting and roulette, I think that there is a constant :
- either you play for pleasure of gambling, emotions, try to robb the bank etc...and long-term speaking, you are going to lose money ;
- or you play it the scientific way, hard, requiring patience, with less fun etc...and long-term speaking, you are going to win money

No, there aren't for roulette. At least not in the standard casino version of the game, unless you're talking about some form of cheating.

But you've got me intrigued, so go ahead, I'd love to hear what the way to make roulette +EV is

I'm guessing it's a Martingale variation. They're always Martingale variations...

Honestly, as I don't play roulette myself, I'm not precisely aware with those tactics.
Of course, there are Martingales, the most classic being Black r/ Red, loose x2 loose x2 etc until you win (you may be needed like 10K$ to success beginning by 2$ shots ^^')
There is another one I've heard with dozens, you wait until 2 number of the same dozen is picked, then you bet on the 2 others with equal bets, and same old : loose > x2 , loose > x2 until you win and restart it from the beginning (need less than 10K$ to success ;) )

But actually, I just saw a friend of my doing this a complete evening, acting on some tactic he has heard about and won just by recovering 2/3 of the numbers each time if I remember correctly, don't know how (with doubles, triples,...)
He just has the same point of view about poker and sports betting that I have (he's winner at both), he's pretty much a clever fella, I trust him,... and he just won all along this evening ! :five:

I have never been able to turn a profit on any casino games. The closest I have been able to come is to play blackjack. If anyone has any tips or recommendations I would love to have them.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but your friend isn't a "clever fella" if he honestly thinks he can beat roulette. All that happened is he got lucky that evening, which he has the same chance of doing as absolutely anyone else playing that game.

Martingale doesn't work, because nobody has an infinite bankroll or access to a table with an unlimited maximum bet. It'll get you back to even or a small win a lot of the time, but the times you lose you're going to lose huge.

Martingale on dozens is no different to Martingale on red/black or odd/even, it's still Martingale with the same flaw.

There's no such thing as hot or cold numbers because every spin is independent. If two numbers in the same dozen come up twice in a row, they're just as likely to come up on the next spin as any other number. It's like thinking you're less likely to be dealt AA this hand because you got AA last hand.

Every spin of roulette is independent from the last. Every single bet you make on roulette is -EV.
