***August LC Thread*** - OMG I have this great amazing story...

[Indiana]

do any of u HU-ers make any moniez betting on the NFL or other sports? I'm a lifetime loser at sports betting (~4K lost) but still love it and want to get back into the hustle this season. Of course, I won't be able to watch the Colts as closely but I'm sure I'll make some money betting against the niners and raiders out here.

If you do bet, where do you place your wagers? I know there are like 5-6 online books that let americans bet but i think line shopping should be harder now.

Well, I have a friend who works as an online bookie, and share an account with him. I put in a bit over $300 this last summer I think, and we share the winnings 50/50. So far we are up around 2k. I have no clue about the stuff we bet on, but just do as I am told. We have put in bets at soccer in Kuwait and stuff. He gets a lot of good tips from bookie-forums. I would never bet on sports if I didn't get the tips from him though.

ok well what about calling lots of their minraises out of position to see lots of flops? this seems to not work as i never hit a hand on the flop to go with.

A lot of the sports prop bets on bodog are very weak, but you really have to be line checking because the lines move into less +EV numbers very fast. Check out the sports betting or prop betting forum on 2+2, if you can find the best before those guys get to it you should be in good shape.

I too know somebody who does this for a living, but it's not sports bets, it's political, television/movie and sports props for the most part.
