Honestly more to say on this than I have the words for right now. I don’t know this guy and I don’t know if this is true, but if it is all the best to him and much respect for him sharing. So many others have been this guy without the courage to say it. Be careful out there.
This has been weighing on my conscience for far too long.
I’ve been living a lie and it’s time to finally come clean
I am not a professional sports bettor or anything close to it. Around a year ago I went on a crazy win streak and built a halfway decent bankroll, but I now realize that was through sheer luck— I have no edge whatsoever.
All of the money I made gambling is long gone, and I now owe so many people debts I’ll never be able to pay.
The profit/loss statements you’ve seen me post?
All fake.
The bet slips?
All edited or someone else’s.
I may not have ever sold picks, but I sold myself as something that I’m not, and cost many people their money in the process.
I’m sorry. I just desperately wanted to fit in. To be somebody.
You all saw my disastrous French Open, and many of you had already figured me out. It’s time to finally come clean
I have no edge and am now beyond poor, all thanks to gambling. What started as a fun hobby briefly became a source of extra income has now completely and utterly ruined my life
At almost 25 years old with no college degree or work experience, I really don’t know what to do. I plan on checking myself into an inpatient gambling addiction rehab facility tomorrow
I do not want any pity, sympathy, or help. I am simply posting this to get it off my chest and to perhaps serve as a cautionary tale to prevent others from falling down the same dark path.
As of a few days ago, I at least had a halfway decent apartment building to live in
Tonight? I’ll be in Section 8.

@TheBettingCrib Wow, this just blew my mind, great question. They should be begging for smart money to offset all the moneyline parlays they are stacking up. I think the correct answer is along the lines of “no one has any idea what they are doing at those books”
I’ve never been so confident that both sides of the same game are good bets so I guess I should just sit this one out lol. I won’t have a single bet yet I’m jealous of all of these Spurs Moneyline / Knicks +6.5 tickets because they both feel like great value tonight. Wild Game
As someone who covered the 1994 NBA Finals, it's a big assignment with a lot of work to do on deadline so I'd like to ask celebrities not to get in any slow car chases with police traliing a white bronco tonight.
@sixer0606@beatingthebook I feel this on a spiritual level. Stick with it, my friend, and remember, there are 3 things worth setting 5 AM alarms for. Flights, Golf, and Tennis Picks.
Just to add a simple example:
Market is Spurs -5 / Knicks +5.
DraftKings hangs Spurs -4 / Knicks +4.
Your position is that anyone betting Spurs -4 can be banned for “advantage gambling.”
But what’s actually happening here is not the sportsbook protecting the integrity of its house edge. It’s the sportsbook trying to increase that edge by leaving up a bad number, banning anyone sophisticated enough to take the good side, and continuing to offer the worse side to unsophisticated customers betting Knicks +4.
Utterly shameful.
