Ok, as an amateur gambler I feel like I have the e-authority to speak here. Over the past two years I've turned an initial investment of $200 into a gain of a little more than $10,000. I'm very, very close to being able to take my bankroll to Vegas or another gambling town and turn this into a living making an initial $100-$200 a day.

Personally, I don't bet on season win totals. A lot of people like them because they are somewhat a fluid bet, but it completely ties up a portion of your bankroll in limbo. As the season progresses, you get an idea of where the bet will land and you can either hedge (bet against as partial insurance) or pound (add on) the line as the season goes. If you're leaning on the over (which it seems like you are), with the NFL, which is much different than betting NBA/MLB because of the fact that each team only plays 16 games, you could make much more profit if you just bet the moneyline (straight up bet, no spread) and paid the juice (extra money tacked onto a favorite, IE: here -135 meaning you have to bet 135 to win 100) on every game. If the team loses one week, simply roll that over to the next week and double to bet so you'll make last week's loss back + your unit profit. Of course, this requires some decent bankroll to back up any losing streak, but in the NFL most good teams don't go on a 4-5 game losing streak. Over the past two years I've found it easier to make money off the NFL if you think of it as "investment" betting.

You have either A) never been to vegas. Or

B ) dont enjoy a good time. Because there is no way in hell I could live off 200 a day there, much less make a living off 200 a day.

I have been a few times, granted only for weeks at the time. Each time i have won 2,000 -3,000 playing texas hold em and each time i come home with like 100 out of the 1000 i take there. That place is so damn expensive.

Lived there for almost two years when I was 19 after making the stupid decision to move in with my (at the time) girlfriend when she moved back to Nevada for school. Lived just outside of it anyways. I hate the desert, but the location is more about the access to sportsbooks than anything. I honestly didn't really enjoy the strip for it's reputation, but I do enjoy drunk slutty women. Plus, gambling for a living is all about money management. I'm not headed there to "live the dream", I'd be headed there because I'd enjoy a lifestyle where I'm self-employed, earn $3000-5000 a month which is more than enough in Vegas, and my days entail doing research on the internet, placing bets, and getting drinks, and making spare money. Figure even $100 a day to start, or around $3000 a month. Expect about $1000/month for a decent place somewhere, and another $1000 for food/maintenance on my truck/spending. That still leaves a spare $1000 to build your bankroll with. It's not about living big when you start, just living and building you bankroll. The more money you have, the more you can make with limited risk.

Then maybe 15 years from now I'll be "living the dream" having wads of cash to blow on an escort per day.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
