Betting sports online

[MissKhou85]

Admins or MOD’s please do not move this topic to the sports sections because I know nothing about sports. I just want to ask a question for a friend.

Do you bet for sports online? What is the minimum or the max you usually bet for? I’m just curious because this person is betting like crazy and constantly checking the scores and on its phone. At first the bet was 50-100 but now it’s 1,000 up. This is today’s activity. Is this common or normal? Thanks!

Sorry I don’t gamble or let alone bet things online.  That seems high for me but what do I know.

Yeah, I would not start. It can become very addictive. And I know nothing about online betting.

over at the sports section, im known as the hmong Nostradamus
been kicking people butt over there, the MOD have to ban me for being right all the times
they know who they are


ANYWAYS

your friend is betting some serious money
he's is betting "$2300" to win "$2000"
you can look at the "risk" and "to win"
"+more info" has more information on the rules and game
there are many different rules, game type, styles
   
each one of those game is a bet
you go down the list  "$1100 to win $1000"
basically, your friend is betting big money $$$

some of those bets are on scores
again, they are many types and rules
the closer you are to the score, the more you win


so if your friend is correct, he win $2000, 
but if he is wrong, he lose $2300

I have FACTS to back up that that's not the case  :

I'm going with the falcons tonight, boys.
I always like the underdog
looking for a big upset over the superbowl champion

still plenty of times
make your pick
don't be coming in after the game
crying
saying how you knewt it all along

Falcons got killed in that game...

I never chicken out
Your buddy keeps deleting my pick in the sports section


Since you pick the titans
I will go with Jacksonville
Make it easy for you
No excuses

Jags also got killed in that game..

Predict


Uruguay


May the best man win all the pride and cool coin

Uruguay beat the teams they were suppose to beat as they were the favorite but didn't even make it to the later rounds....

If you dating a sports better, good luck.  His gf is his games and you are second in his life. 

It is a game of runs.  Some weeks you up, some down and you get moody. 

It is like an alcoholic where it can destroy lives.  He'll cancel your date just to watch or monitor his games.  He might not even move out of his bed cuz he's glued to the TV and he can gamble in the first half, full game, second half and live wagering bets. 

But if he's good enough to make it a second stream of income and can balance out his life then all is well but I have never meet a pro at it. 

I've been cashing out every week for the past month up until the march madness tournament where I've been seeing a lot of fishy lines where I lost to some fishy plays and half points.  Got sick to my stomach with those so now I quit till the final game where I can just tease the action. 

I deposited so many Canadian checks but the one I have now is in pending on hold for a week.  They think it is counterfeit.  It may or may not I dunno cuz my bookie can screw me over and nothing I can do about it.  Sports betting is illegal in many states except for Nevada and although it passes a bill to make it legal, it is still consider illegal if you play through a non government regulated agency stream so as an end consumer, if they decided to freeze my account or no pay, nothing I can do about it. 

Seems like your guy is going through a local bookie.  They uses such sites and masked it like a game.  Those are just play money they say. 

When your bet is in the 1000s, it is no longer recreational.  It is seriously business and lives can get hurt that way.  The local bookie here in the bay area has a line that he tells all of his new clients.  It is this....

I know you are going to give me at least half of your paycheck. 

Now imagine that.  You be filthy rich if you get a bunch of people to hand over their paycheck to you.
