Herman vs. Self Discipline vs. SIA

[UntilTheNDofTimE]

LOL. I can see how a 20.5% ROI in 10 days (without the bonus) wouldn't be worth continuing.

This is why i gave up sports betting, id crunch numbers for hours a day and end up making ~5,000 a year, i found poker much more rewarding in regards to opportunity costs plus i make much more money in terms of ROI and time put into it.

That was actually sarcasm. 20% ROI in ten days is phenomenal in anything.

I'm curious to see what numbers you were crunching.

I'm actually trying to move more and more away from poker. In a year, I'll probably be strictly a tournament player. Cash games require far too much time.

Im the exact opposite, im not afraid to admit that im a poor tournament player but a very good live cash game player, online not so much.

RLM, regression analysis, props, experimented with some modeling wasnt successful there, and then plain ole betting into shaded lines and trying to middle before tip off if i got a good enough number.

good move.
Sometimes I want to play poker. Then the thought of sitting around the table for hours with those smelly yahoos, slowly shuffling chips to the casino hits me.

how do you come up with a $5000 cap?

how do you come up with a $5000 cap?

well in the 4 years i sports bet i ended up positive around 20,000 most of it was from the first year when i just bet like a square in terms of risk amounts. im saying that i probably put in 2,000 hours worth of looking over stats and all kinds of other forms of stress related to sports betting. in the end your making $4 a hour so to me thats not worth it. Thats all im referring too.

Read my post. I said it's not worth it at the limits I'm betting and I don't feel comfortable depositing and betting more.

I've spent 12 hours each day on the last two Saturdays, and 10 hours each on the last two Sundays for 44 hours total sitting here staring at the screen for a $40 profit.

And I think your numbers are wrong, I deposited more for a total of $400.

You needed 12 hours a day to bet at sia only?

I work more than that but I have more than 50 funded accounts. You should spend like 15 minutes a day.

Rooting your bets in is optional Herman.

Being a professional gambler has to be a hard job

I couldn't do it, even if I were smart enough

so that begs the question, what do you want to be when you grow up?

Herman, thanks for not posting very much at Gamelive, I appreciate it, really.

It's 3:30pm and I'm watching TV and eating doritos (lol).

Pinny has +6 -129 in the drop down so it was a no brainer, I can afford it anyways and a 30 cent edge on an NFL game is sick...so haters gonna hate regardless
