There will be a 4 part documentary that Showtime is airing beginning this Sunday (3-24-2018)evening featuring professional sport gamblers with additional insights from some of the well known sports book directors in Las Vegas. A must view if you bet sports. We may even see some forum members.

Pretty good part 1 but I lost total respect for the Krackman, saying that he does this for a living but said he cant name 15 players who are playing in the NFL. How do you bet over 100k a week on the NFL and cant name 15 players.

And Vegas Dave, making all that money on his subscriptions. 180K in 5 minutes after going live, or less than an hour, couldnt remember. Banned from betting sports in Nev?

Are you a professional sports better? Besides, there are like 200 teams vs only 32 in the NFL. And no sports receives as much exposure as the NFL. Just saying players can play a major role when it comes to betting.

And who us this Vegas Dave? Apparently nobody in the industry has any kind words to say about him. But Showtine made him look like hes God.

I'd concentrate on what they are doing right, as they are evidently successful.

That would have gained him respect in my eyes. In my opinion, the way to beat sports is not trying to out-handicap the free market. Rather, it is to look for lines, especially in sports that don't get much action, that are off from the rest of the market. Also to exploit exotic bets, like the good 'ol half-point parlay cards.

Any thoughts of part 2? I can’t believe they feature that amateur gambler who lives out of an empty aptartment. Dude go by some furniture and commit yourself to staying and becoming a local.

you own data from the other site (see image) suggests otherwise
your data shows that by blindly betting the away dog the bettor loses only 1.38% - the house edge on a typical spread bet is 4.55%
by just doing this he outperforms the public by more than 3%
nfl games are I believe the most heavily bet games in any sport and many would say the most difficult lines to gain an edge on

so, it is obvious that the public erroneously estimates the strength of the home field advantage

to believe what you're saying you would then have to say this:

"okay, the public makes errors on the home/away thing but they don't make any (or very, very few) errors on anything else"

I don't think that's a logical assumption

my way of saying it would be that the public doesn't often make errors in setting the line/odds but neither is it right to say that it is very rare

they sometimes make errors - less so on NFL games than in smaller markets

although your statement of finding a better line is the way to go is certainly true, the nature of a sports bettor's edge is that he is willing to go deeper into the details of the sport and the game than the average bettor. also, he will not bet the popular teams because they're popular or his own favorite team because it's his team

the foolish sayings of a rich man often pass for words of wisdom by the fools around him
