Let's see...October of 2006...three years. Yep, I've made a 6 digit profit since the beginning of this thread too, from my job and from not throwing money to the wind based on the whims of a prediction guy.
I'd say that's slightly better than my mythical $100.75 loss.

since this thread is about making profit, lets take a deeper look into it.
lets take 3 weeks in the nfl as an example. lets say we bet a defencive system amongst 6 games for each of these 3 weeks, without a base. thats 20 bets a week, times 3 weeks = 60 bets. lets put 100 bucks on every bet, times 60 = 6.000 bucks. week 1, we go 5/6.... thats 10 winning bets, at 700 a bet = 7.000 bucks week 2 we go 0/6 week 3 we go 0/6 although we only got 5 right out of 18 games, we made a thousands dollar profit over the 3 weeks. usually, all you really need is 1 good week, every 3-4 weeks to be ahead. having a bad week is in the plan.

now lets say we make a long term bet on baseball, on who will win the american league east ....we take an outsider that pays 67/1.
we bet 200 bucks on it. if it wins[see tampa bay rays in 2008], you make 13.400 dollars. basically, you can bet 200 dollars on who will win the american league east for the next 66 years, lose every single bet over the 66 years, and still be in the profit zone.

this thread is about more than that.
this about teaching people how to bet, cause they really don't know. over 90 percent of people bet in a way that they require 100 percent of their picks to go through to cash in. this is just not gonna work in your favour, cause you're gonna lose. my defencive system is so good, that even with a terrible week in the nfl pointspread, where you go 5/9, you don't lose a dime ....you get you money back with 5 right and 4 wrong. the main focus of anyone wagering on profesional sports, should be long term bets. it requires knowledge on sports, knowledge which i have, more on some sports than others.

Are you going for the most consecutive posts record? You have 4 to go. Bet you can't do it, and retain relevance.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* san diego chargers[-6.5] vs kansas city chiefs i'm not really grasping how this chargers team is underachieving. jammer and cromartie are amazing cornerbacks. merriman is one of the absolute elite defencmen in the nfl. gates is the tiger woods of tight ends. rivers is without doubt one of the 5 greater qb's in the game. the running game, although not as amazing as past years, is still stellar. the chargers aren't quite as rich as some other teams in the wr department, but they're at least par. so why tf is this team not dominating i can't figure it out. to compare this team to the chiefs is really silly. kc gives[at the time] a record breaking contract to an under par rb. they top that this season, by giving a high paying multi year contract to a qb that has no buisness playing even as a 3rd string qb in the nfl. bet on the san diego chargers *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* i'll take the initiative in surfacing ut's picks in this post. good luck man. Indianapolis -14 @ St. Louis New England -15.5 @ Tampa Bay San Diego -5 @ Kansas City New Orleans -7 @ Miami if you don't mind me asking, where did you find the chargers at -5

boy. from what i saw, tonight's game was a who sucks more fest. the redskins won that. Christ on a crutch....jason campbell is horrifically horrible, Mcnabb STILL throws the ball to people's feet, and oh huge surprise......Westbrook got hurt again. What a shite game to watch.
