Are there any sportsbetting pros in this forum?
Or do they really exist?
Is it possible to be a sportsbetting pro just like you can be a poker pro?
Hope to get some answers soon, thank you, mike!

I actually have a friend who makes a living off online poker and betting on sports, and I have a friend who lives in vegas who plays professional poker, wsop and such, and also bets on sports. I talk to him often on aim.

Pinny pullout yanked most of the pros. Some of the others have less to say. With baseball season 2 of the more notable ones will be back.

In addition, there are many horse 'capping pros, start with Andy Beyer and guys like that [yeah, he's a writer too, I know] but he did invent the speed figures.

Any game where you bet versus 'the public' can be beaten if rake is not overly large. Futures pools, poker, sports, horses, dogs, jai alai, ad infinitum.

Also, 2p2 will take this name back as you are not allowed to imitate real poker pros. Consider changing now.
