peeig - He has been boycotting for quite awhile now actually and has done a nice job staying away. And it seems the rest of the forum is primarily grateful.

Didn't realize that 'rippled' is an actual flavor.

Re: how much do you make (or lose) from sports betting

Won 20k during football. Won about 15k during basketball. Lost 12k during baseball. All in all it was a pretty interesting experience. I won a pretty significant amount of money (by my standards). I'm unlikely to bet going toward because I gotz that degen. I'm certainly better off with a job and supplementing my income with some weekend pokering.

There is something about this sports betting that brings out my most wreckless side. I have not made a bet in over a month. Baseball is really no sweat. The real test will be laying off in football. Because I love the sport so much. And I think I'm so ****ing smart

I'd be more interested in hourly rates of winning sportsbettors.

Re: how much do you make (or lose) from sports betting

Hourly doesn't mean anything at all.

How many hours are people working when they are using ROBOTIC TOOLS?????

Re: how much do you make (or lose) from sports betting

So if I spent 10 hours on this ROBOTIC TOOL I made 8 years ago, and made ~$650,000 from it, you think my $65,000/hr rate is ACCURATE???

Re: how much do you make (or lose) from sports betting

B00t,

Not sure if you have considered this but if you whoever you're talking about worked full time for a month and made 16 of these FLAWLESS ROBOTIC TOOLS and unleashed them you'd have: $10,400,000 in 8 years.

Unfortunately your hourly would still be $65,000/hr as you pointed out.

Hopefully you/they can do an ama about making flawless ROBOTIC TOOOLS in 10 hours and mo money mo problems.
