    I think I can win long-term.
    So, I've been playing on paper for a while and started playing offline lately at local shops.

    I have bet only football live in-play, assuming I have a 50 units bankroll and betting 2% (1u= 2%) of bankroll is normal.

    Have wrote every bet in google sheets, total 1169 bets (without draw no bet), won 581, lost 588. Win rate 49.7%, average odds 2.13, profit 69.09u, ROI 5.9%.

    I plan to bet on 300 matches month, average 10/day. Maintain a 50% winrate at average odds 2.1 and having a 15u profit month, good plan?

    I have a few questions for serious bettors here who have been betting for years.
    Is ~1200 bets a big sample or I should play on paper a bit more?
    Am I good enough, is a 5-6% ROI too little, or I'm doing good?
    How many bets a day do you place?
    Its 100€ a very small bankroll to start with, online or its too little and not worth wasting my time and building a good enough bankroll for 3-5 years?
    I read that sportsbooks will limit me if I'm a long term winner so I should not start by betting 2€ online 😂 so where should I start? I don't want use Bet365 and Sbobet now, I want save them for later when I go at 100€ 1u bet.

    Thank you and good luck..tho it has nothing to do with luck. It's all math, patience and discipline.

    A bigger question is where are you putting in these live bets? If at Bet365 or another rec-book, you won't be able to continue playing indefinitely. If you are beating Pinnacle or Betcris consistently, I'm impressed.

      I think my problem is my bankroll, my bet amount will be too little. I know I won't be able to play indefinitely as a winning player but all I need is 1 year on each of them but I should be at 100€+ stake at them and move up slowly and safe till go to 500€ stake. 5 years after, retired.

        If you find an angle, they’ll adjust. If you win for long, you’ll be limited. Fees. Dual lines, delays, etc... its not easy to win and its nearly impossible to win an amount that would be life altering. Better off with a 25 team parlay

          300 matches a month and you're looking for +110 odds as an average?
          There are not enough events to make these bets worthwhile or to even begin
          to cap them. I realize you're not capping at all and just throwing darts at lines
          hoping for almost 50% win rate, with the odds factor of +10% pushing you to
          a profitable rate. A waste of time, likely fruitless.

                    1000 bets is nothing, variance will hit you on this nearly 40% of the time, make you look good or bad when you are not either
                    are you beating the line by more than the HUGE live margin overall? This is very important part to know how you are doing

                    if Pinnacle has -130 and you are betting at -130, win lose or draw, you will lose the margin eventually.
                    now if you are betting -130 and pinnacle has -150 you are on the right track.

                    they set the line at -130 that means you are paying for a 56.52% win probability and the real win probability is probably closer to 54% or even more on live betting (huge huge margins), this means you lose long run
                    but if you are betting at -130 and you now have a 54% chance to win and the line is at pinnacle -150 means you have a 58ish% probability and that is a winner long term.

                    any other scenario is noise!

                      what sports do you bet on? and what kind of wager size? and when you say living proof, how long how many games? how are you doing against the closing line?

                          I love these convos, they are my favorites, its why everyone hates me here. I bring a harsh reality nobody wants to see!

                          when I first got into sports betting, I did not want to hear what I say now either!

                            dashdan11 if 1000 is nothing, should I take a look at 10000? It will take 3 years.

                                    yeah that is the beauty of how they keep the lights on,
                                    Step 1 beat our line OK got it check step 2
                                    Step 2 Do it enough times to overcome variance ( got it ok step 3
                                    Step 3 Now find somehwere else to bet it cause we dont like bettors like you, now stop long enough to forget and start again!

                                      IMHO the only way to win is to beat the line consistently and to do it 1000s of times to overcome variance.

                                        spin a 2 option sim spinner 1000 times 10 or 20 times and you will get scared very fast

                                          I don't understand why people stress themselves so much about straight betting specially when there's so many ways to make money in sports betting such as bonus hunting, arbitrage, middles, live arbing, turnover cashback, value betting, affiliate business etc.

                                              That strategy is zero risk and the only people that do win

                                                Make 3-5 units of profit every week and u do fine , what ever is ur unit . That is NOT that hard !! Dont have to bet every day , be patient , wait for one game that u like a lot and u handicapped ur self ! Learn how to handicap 2 or 3 sports and that all u bet ! Bet even money 95 % of the time on each game !! Stay with 3-5 games range , never bet more then 5 games ! Here and there u may find a game that u bet lil bit harder [ 2-3 ] units , because u like the game [ not because u like them to win - emotional game , but because u look over this game 50 + times !! ] . It takes time to get to big league !!

Dont have to bet every day , be patient , wait for one game that u like a lot and u handicapped ur self ! Learn how to handicap 2 or 3 sports and that all u bet ! Bet even money 95 % of the time on each game !! Stay with 3-5 games range , never bet more then 5 games ! Here and there u may find a game that u bet lil bit harder [ 2-3 ] units , because u like the game [ not because u like them to win - emotional game , but because u look over this game 50 + times !! ] . It takes time to get to big league !!
                                                    I think 3 to 5 units of profit every day is impossible unless you are betting 300-500 units a day at a +1% edge. I have never seen anyone (I dont know everyone) win more than .5% to 1% long term, not saying there are not exceptions to any rule but above 1% is HUGE!

                                                            3 to 5 units a week, I am sorry but still that would require you to wager with a 1% edge about 300-500 units a week, are you doing that?
