What kind of high-risk, low-reward things do you tend to do?

Stealing articles that ask me to pay to read them. ﾠ

@Sonorous look at this orgiastic garbage, he's deactivated minutes after leaving the opinion.

[ButtFloggedTroll]

Haha, you mean the article about how awesome it feels to take a high dose of over-the-counter nаloхоne, have a few intense workouts within next 12 hours while testosterone is supraphysiologically increased (in monkey studies 10 fold of normal) and then enjoy the rebound of additional endorphin sensitivity after the antagonist wears off?

Amateur sports as an adult. I think I did nine or ten seasons playing full-contact semipro football, and then the last few years I’ve been playing hockey. In both cases, you can get pretty fucked up, and we made no money for it, and there was only personal glory involved, which is what it was all about, but it’s not like we’d walk down the street and people would recognize us. So there isn’t/wasn’t a lot of reward, and you can literally break your neck doing both things. But it beats resigning to old age and beginning the withering process, lmao

[Sour-rose]

Not pay for things is one. And I'm not saying them all because there could be cops here. :) However let's just say... i ain't registered. Fk youuuuuuuuuuuuu!

*drives off like i'm in gta*

Nothing. That doesn't even sound right. If it's high risk it needs to be high reward lol

I make my living off of sportsbooks. I have several offshore and a couple domestic. It's not a hobby, it's a full time job. I consort with guys overseas in London that are soccer sharps, as that's my main deal. I crunch numbers, study trends, read injury reports, live bet, O/U on goals... I've probably bet soccer matches in at least 60 countries of all kinds. National leagues, friendlies, Euro, cup matches, men, women, you name it. Have a bet in 2 hours on the Central Coast/Melbourne City match in Australia. That's why I'm up at midnight. A lot of nights, I get maybe 3 hours of sleep.

Although this isn't high risk, low reward. The reward matches the risk. No such thing as a guarantee, but if you're prepared and do your studying (and stay away from booze and dope so your mind is clear), you'll win more than you lose.

[molonski2]

Wholly Sht , thats exciting , what a way to make a living at a young age with capital protection being the key to your business , you are a professional sports better , dont like the idea of 3 hours sleep , unless you are making a serious plethora , that Australian game ( my country ) could easily go either way , but I'm from Melbourne.

[Opinion Owner]

I actually took it 2 ways... on 1 book the best offer I got was Central Coast O1.5 goals. On the other, the best I got was O2.5 total for the game on both sides, so I took that, because I've seen both a few times this year, and I was convinced this was a BTTS yes situation. I just do this because numbers and sports is how my brain is wired. Getting to the point where you can afford to just go with 1 or 2 matches at a time is the hard part... because most people have to bet parlays a mile long because they're betting with very little. A League in Australia is 1 of my 5 favorite leagues to bet the O/U (usually 1.5 total), because they're very offensive in style of play... and that goes for A League women also, as I've bet them on several occasions.

[molonski2]

So what kind of total capital base are you working from? What other sports do you look at also?

I started with federal grant school money and money from doing disposals in a truck. Made a few K in a couple weeks, took the federal grant money (since I don't have to pay grants back, but have zero interest in being on a campus), and started. That was a few years ago. Now I have other things to back me up... art investing, etc. I play U. S. college basketball, and major events such as the Super Bowl, Final 4 etc... but only to watch where the sharps in Vegas are dropping their money at books so I know where to place mine. Where they drop their money affects line movement, so that's what you watch... especially within the hour before tipoff/kickoff. Tennis terrible... too many players throwing matches.

[molonski2]

Ever looked at AFL exotics?
Yeah , tennis at low level is corrupt.
Cricket exotics?
Horse racing? ( No Im guessing )
What would your target income be PA?

[Opinion Owner]

For instance, last year's SB, I actually wasn't going to play it at all. I thought it was VERY close... and the line was only -1.5... which is basically even up. I wasn't going to play UNTIL I got an alert a half hour before kickoff that 1 of the major books in Vegas had a well respected sharp go in and drop 440K on the over hitting. The VP of that book was quoted as saying "We adjusted our line accordingly when he did that because this particular sharp has been money for us." BANG👉 That's IMMEDIATELY where I placed my money, the OVER. Why is that significant? Because 72 percent of the public money was on the UNDER hitting, since the under had hit in the last 4 consecutive SB's. This sharp knew better though.

[molonski2]

Watching AO as we speak ( tennis ) .

[Opinion Owner]

My target income is 6 figures, but that's with about 3 mos off annually. I don't do horse racing and cricket, only because I know virtually nothing about both. Soccer evens that imbalance out, because I'll bet it in just about every corner of the globe. I love tennis, and will bet Roland Garros and Euro clay season since the Spaniards, Italians and South Americans dominate it (easy to make bank against my fellow Americans on clay), but other than that, I stay away.

[molonski2]

Womens AO will be good , Savalenka ( Spelling ) looks the goods but will be too short , also like Cocco , just an observation , Im not punting , I make money from property , but I'm always interested in others income streams.
I'd love to make another 100k US..
Do you need to use a VPN? And could you run it from anywhere?

[Opinion Owner]

I'm in the U. S., so FanDuel and Draft Kings are the 2 main domestic ones. They're not even legal in every U. S. state, only about 15 states, so I have a few offshore ones. The best offshore ones are BetUS and MyBookie. Out of those 2, BetUS is slightly better... the best odds and a few more options on each game. Being in Australia, I know you can use those 2. NEVER do checks as a method of withdrawal. To deposit, use crypto, same for withdrawal-though I've done MoneyGram as well for both. To deposit, it goes Bitcoin on your Cashapp (buy Bitcoin on your Cashapp), transfer it to a middle wallet like Exodus, then transfer it to BetUS/MyBookie. Same for withdrawal, just in reverse. Copy and paste their Bitcoin address (BetUS/MyBookies), and that's it. 1 press of a button and everything is instant. There are no fees that way and it's BY FAR the fastest method. I've personally dealt repeatedly with those 2 books offshore for both deposits and withdrawals, so I know they're good. I can't give a first hand account of others though.

[CalmUntilAbused]

Aside from waking up every day? Well... I tend to interact with women in real life (but usually only if necessary). For the less risky stuff, I tend to run when crossing the road, sometimes even when the road in question is covered in ice and there are cars nearby enough for me to risk getting run over (though I've learnt to time these sprints expertly, so the only true risk is the ice).

[BlissfullyCurSed]

I help my cousin's kids with their lessons. She doesn't even pay me🤣🤣 I don't know why I am still doing it.🤔🤔

[BlissfullyCurSed]

Sueshe, our holy saviour, like my comment. My world have become a better place😚😚😚.

[blueonblack22]

Be careful about that. https://thespun.com/more/top-stories/extreme-sports-athlete-dead-after-falling-off-hong-kong-skyscraper

I admit I did some stupid things as a kid. Like driving 105 in a 45 one time (could have been killed). But that’s long behind me.

[Joshydavid25]

Maybe too much cardio.. Lol.. Although, it does have it's rewards.. 🤔

[Asker]

I like doing weird cardio

[Joshydavid25]

Hey hey man, look.. Whatever you and your hand are doing needs to stay between y'all..

[Asker]

🤣 no that's the normal stuff I do

[Joshydavid25]

Aw okay, just making sure.. Carry on then..

[Asker]

I ain't ever been caught bro I'm a pro

[Sharkstealth]

I drive double trailers through the storms that have still not gone away here. Nobody I know with a bachelor's degree makes close to what I do but I don't know if money qualifies as high reward when death is a possibility.

[msc545]

Flying very small planes, surfing stupidly large waves, driving on LA freeways.

[Asker]

You can pilot?

[msc545]

Yes although I have not done so lately.

[Asker]

nice!

[Jumpintoadstool]

I tend to avoid activities in which the risk outweighs the reward 👀

[mobiusforniner]

Sounds like when I invest in the stock market. High risk. No reward. lol

[Unit1]

None. I did the assessments before deciding to do high risk low reward things such as getting married (this one has no reward at all!).

[backdoorman]

I got married. That's probably the biggest example for me.

[Iron_Man]

it was Boxing but it’s not low reward sport you feel extremely proud when you win
