Sports betting = free money?
Is it possible for me to find good, free information out there on picks for all sporting events, just make the exact same bets and rake in the cash?
I mean, uh, there are people out there who are winning sports bettors beating the vig and putting out there picks, right? My post sucks but basically I'm looking for as much information as you can give me cause I know jack [censored] about sports betting and don't really care enough to make my own picks, I just want to use people to make money for me. |

Follow Fezzik's advice over at Fezziksplace.
Follow the advice in Stanford Wong's book. There are no trustworthy handicappers who consistently pick winners against widely available lines in the long term. This is an extremely tough area of gambling to make money at and it takes a much bigger bankroll to make money at this than poker does. Rather than answering a bunch of individual questions, the best advice I can give you is to read Sharp Sports Betting by Stanford Wong. |

You misworded this I think. There are cappers who can beat WA lines, the only problem is the lines they are picking at usually dont last long. |

Re: Sports betting = free money?
There are winning cappers on the net who you can follow blindly for free if you want. Go to fezziksplace, go to sharp sports betting bleacher pages and then wade through the b.s at the prescription and you will find some winners over there as well.
Also, take advantage of sportsbook bonuses and additional bonuses available by way of biggerbonus.com. Use a few different books and always be rolling bonuses over while you bet. Sportsbetting can definitely be beaten but winning cappers still only hit about 55% winners so if you are betting say $100 a game in the long run your profit will be $5 to $7 a game, which makes it not nearly as profitable as poker. |

"but winning cappers still only hit about 55% winners"
Americans forget there are other sports out there lol. "so if you are betting say $100 a game in the long run your profit will be $5 to $7 a game, which makes it not nearly as profitable as poker." 55% with bonuses, free points, low vig etc. $100 units, well you just need a decent BR. "making money betting sports is tough work. not only do you need to know intricate details of the sport you are betting, but you also need to know the betting details. there is no free lunch. " Tough work if your handicapping yourself. Profiting off sports is actually quite easy. You just need decent capital. You won't find many profitable cappers giving free picks at all. There are a decent number of honest&profitable services out there though if you look hard & get lucky. Thank god there are so many scamdicappers out there. |

55% is probably upper win % of many good handicappers. sports is tough. even for a schmuck like me who just follows the advice of others. |

"55% is probably upper win % of many good handicappers."
FWIW a resourceful sportsbettor could easily outperform the stock market if he had a few sources of breakeven picks. |
