If you actually made it in sports betting, how would you spend your days?

[MiF]

Let’s say you’re one of the few who really made it, you’re living off sports betting successfully. No 9-to-5 job, no boss, just you and your bets.

How would your day look like? Since betting doesn’t really take up the whole day, how do you enjoy the rest of your time? Would you travel, start another business, or just chill and live simple?

I’m curious how people imagine life if sports betting actually became their main source of living.

You are only thinking about time but not about risk. You are under pressure from your boss in taking a job and spend a long time there due to which you get a passive income there which gives you a certain amount of money every month. But even if you spend very little time in sports betting i.e. gambling, it will always put you under mental pressure and you will have to put your money at risk there. And here no matter how good an expert you are, you cannot guarantee that you will win your bets. I do not think gambling should be chosen as your career. Gambling should only be enjoyed in your free time and always use very small amounts of money here.

I think gambling is the best way to spend your free time. Of course, it is very fun to enjoy the time by gambling. But gambling has now reached such a stage that some people have taken gambling as a source of income. I think we need to get out of this misconception and stop thinking that gambling is a source of income.

It’s not the best but it’s a good source of entertainment if you don’t have a social life or no activity outside your house since you can access now gambling through your mobile phone.

But gambling has now reached such a stage that some people have taken gambling as a source of income. I think we need to get out of this misconception and stop thinking that gambling is a source of income.

I’m always against this since I always consider a fixed a source of income through job or business rather than a risky way such as gambling.

But I do believe someone is successful on this since there’s a lot of professional poker that already gain huge profit and sports bettor that has a good PnL.

If i made money off sports betting without having a full time job i would be careful because I know that there would definitely be losing days as well so I'm going to diversify my investments, I'd go into crypto, stocks, real estate and I will also build factories..anyone that's wise would do all of these instead of just relaxing and hoping that it will always be profitable...this is my idea others might have different or better ideas

[rachael9385]

Diversify.

If you make it in gambling by winning huge amount of money, do not think it will always be green in gamblinf the way you want, make sure you diversify and go into better businesses that will be profitable. You can busy  your time with your businesses.

But it is good to know that what you said can not be true, people are losing while gambling after a long period of time, gambling can not be a business.

You have a point, there's no way you can keep on having winning streaks constantly that's the reason why you must have a plan b just incase there is a little setback or losses. Going into other businesses and other ways to create sources of income is the best thing to do. There are no strategies that are capable of putting anyone on an endless winning streak, gambling doesn't work that way, there must be loses.

If this happens to me, I will have the best time of my life: two things we want in our lives — time and money. If I reach this through sports betting, I will have more time to do what I love, like enjoying my time and helping people.

It's essential that, if you have achieved your goal in life, you help your relatives and friends and share the blessing you are receiving.

Enjoying your winnings is good, but sharing it with financially stricken people is excellent.

If I can be successful in sports betting, I will invest my winnings permanently in doing something. Because if I win by betting, if I don't do anything with that money, it will not be there. Therefore, if I win by betting, I will invest that money very soon in some passive income. I will change the betting system a little and try to bet a little bit so that I can bet for a long time. If I don't do this in casinos and sports betting, that money will not be there anymore.

The mistake that most people make when they suddenly become rich via gambling is thinking that they can still use gambling to sustain their wealth. Yeah wealth needs to be sustained else it’ll simply vanish into thin air in matter of time, but instead of investing that money in something more sustainable and guaranteed, they still end up throwing that money into gambling all in the name of investing it back into gambling and before they know, it’s all gone and they’re back to zero.

That is what you think, but not all with agree with you. There are many ways to spend your free time, especially when you want to have fun. We have outdoor games, video games with family and friends and many other ways.

Gambling is a good way to have fun but not actually the best.

I will definitely start another business and get more engaged, I don't know the country you are from but here in my country, the current economic situation makes it very dangerous as a man to depend solely on one source of income.
If you are a man who is already married with kids, or you are still young and have a plan to get married and some day and have your own kids, do not forget that building family costs alot of money, wife and kids will feed, house rent, school fees, water bills, electricity bills and so on, are all the responsibilities of the man..

So if I get an opportunity of making a living off sports betting, I will seize it as an opportunity to build even more businesses, learn some new skills, get engaged in other things and activities that would increase my income more then a x100, make sure that I escape from poverty completely.

I have a job, and I'm sure for those who have jobs or offices, there's no barrier or impediment to continuing to bet, even daily. Researching or even simply betting on a favorite team doesn't take much time. However, I feel like no one achieves consistent winnings, and the winning percentage always outweighs the losses. So, whatever the reason, I can't imagine sports betting as a source of income because losses are inevitable. What about your needs or capital to bet again when you lose?

I would start my morning with a cup of coffee &  a quick glance at digital dashboards,, just like a trader analyzing the market. you know professional gamers treat betting as a business, not a hobby.  Then I would spend time doing research,, analyzing statistics, tracking odds &  finding reliable bets. This work requires a lot of hard work and dedication.

Once I placed a bet, I would probably focus on life,,  maybe traveling, focusing on personal projects or just enjoying the time off from the pressures of the 9 to 5

Dont get me wrong, you must have to be disciplined to live the "no boss, just bet" life, not just be lazy. And yes, I will definitely always try to live simply, I will reinvest the money I make normally, and I will not consider "gambling for fun" as a habit but as a luxury.

That's one, because before you won such amount, more than likely, you already lost a lot owed to such habit. So if you actually made some profits, better allocate it to something worthwhile like an asset that you are eyeing for long-time already or maybe start a small business because as you said, you can't rely your gambling activities as a source of your income. This should be a side hustle only and not a source of passive income by any means. But aside from setting a significant amount for something tangible, of course, I would want to treat my immediate family to maybe a decent dinner outside or maybe a long-coveted travel.

I can't predict what my action will be by then because human are unpredictable. But if I had made it, I will not chose gambling as a business to rely on, or I will not treat it like my life depends on it. If I made it I will extablish myself by opening businesses across the nation and be using my profit to invest in Bitcoin. If I decide to gamble it will just be if I wan to try luck or gamble for fun, because if you are rich or you are made and you decided to relax and leave off gambling that means you will go broke indoors. Because you will definitely spend or lose the whole money you made in your life into betting. I have seen many rich go broke due to gambling. The fact is that no one should treat gambling as business otherwise the person will definitely go broke chasing peanut or chasing loses.

Sport betting can never be the only main source of livelihood.

It does, but don't forget that researching, reading, and taking notes all take time, often several hours, not just one. In that sense, it's almost like working an online job, where you could easily spend up to 8 hours a day analyzing and preparing.

Unless someone is just placing random bets, which wouldn't make sense for anyone who treats sports betting as a main source of living, serious bettors know that research and technical analysis are essential. If you really want consistent profit, you have to invest time and effort into studying stats, teams, trends, and all other relevant factors to increase your chances of winning.

I don't think it's right for people to take time away from work to think about betting or reading about matches. It would be a red flag of irresponsibility, which, paradoxically, tells you that you're developing bad gambling habits, and that you'll most likely end up losing more than you expected over time, since if you can't take care of your job, you're certainly not going to have what it takes to gamble responsibly.

[mindrust]

I would go to somewhere quiet and have a quiet life probably. Obviously I would still bet on sports because It is so much fun and profits. I know I wouldn’t do the lambo and coke thing like most people here would and I don’t blame anybody for wanting a life like that since we all live once and doing the crazy stuff can be fun especially when we are young. Another thing is if you buy lots of luxury goods, eventually you’ll attract bad attention and invite thieves and other scammers into your life and that’s never a good thing. Real wealth  is quiet and it doesn’t scream “look at me i am here”

[ryzaadit]

I think you aleady answer it by your self.

It's mostly being use for daily expanding, food and other. Do you think they will buy something expensive ? I don't think sooo, cause player like these are quite smart they're play for win not play for gambling.

So, IMO just a regular daily life spendsding.

One important thing I would do is to pause gambling for awhile and focus on investment, then after like 2 to 3 months I will continue but with lower amount so that I will not lose what I have won from gamble. One mistake most gamblers make is that they don't make plans for investment band carry it out immediately. They procrastinate and continue gambling with hide amount knowing fully well that gamble is funny and anything back happen because there's no guarantee on the game. However, after investment, maybe I would travel and chill for a while.

Smart people invest in something permanent to preserve their wealth. Investing in something permanent will make it last and if the money you win goes back to playing casino games, there is a high chance of losing it. It is better to do something than to go back to zero because we all know that if you don't invest in something permanent, you will lose it. It is necessary to play the game later than investing in something sustainable and certain. There is something good for those who can do it well. It is better to do something than to go back to zero.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Well, if it really becomes that easy like you explained, I will spend my day like rich dude would, not a quiet life style but at least live to the fullest but you know what? All that are illusions, I started having this mindset right from the first day I started sport betting and up till I became more knowledgeable about gambling, I didn't see any signs that such believe was going to come through. Those people that manage to make it through gambling are just extremely lucky.

[jcojci]

Just chill and live simply will be better for me because I can enjoy my time with my family. I can place my bet at home while I can directly do other things after that is finished.

But I will start another business so I don't rely on gambling to make money. I can give that business to my kids when they are grown and continue it.

If I have more money from various sources of income, I can use my time doing many things.
