Hi guys,
I'm a UK based sports bettor. I bet on all sports as an income for the last 10years+. I'm not a winner on MMA though, just a big fan, so I dip in here occasionally to see what the opinions are.
In general though, in terms of being successful long term in sports betting I echo some who have said paying 7.5% to deposit and fees to withdraw is nuts. If you thought you had an edge, you've lost it there already.
Also its weird to see some people saying they are doing well after just 1-6 months. Its a loooooong game and variance is a massive rollercoaster. Short term results are much of a muchness. Encouraging, perhaps. But nothing to write home (or forum) about.
People over estimate picks and under estimate price. Price is key. I bet on sports I have no idea about successfully, just based on understanding this. I know its greatly restricted at the moment in the US, but betting in just 1 place is a bad idea (which is why parlays are technically losing propositions, although fun) as you absolutely must shop around. In Europe we can use at 1000's of betting sites and betting exchanges (Pinnacle and Marathonbet are must have accounts), but the idea remains the same....someone you would pass on at +250 becomes a massive bet at +350 for example, and that can be the ranges on offer between companies.
Would be interesting to hear from people who have a bit more of a long term background and understanding of betting here though.
Congrats to @
