“Only” is a heavy word. Winning an NCAA championship is extremely difficult

I looked it up cause I was curious and knew Wembanyama was really tall, Tremont Waters #51 is 5’11” and Victor Wembanyama #1 is listed at 7’3” but he’s just 19 years old and a recent article came out saying he’s grown and now 7’5” with shoes on. He’s projected to be the #1 pick in the NBA draft so that’s likely why people were so interested in that.

A lot if you count also watching games, but I also do it for fun a bit as well and quite enjoy doing it. I’d be watching sports regardless so a little income off of it is a bonus. It’s not a career by any means and the $ per hour wouldnt be worth it the way I do it if I didnt have fun doing it. I am on the addicted side of the spectrum for sure, but I am aware of ways you can do it risk free and that’s why I chimed in.

The example I used would take 5 mins max if you didn’t care about the games at all and just waited for the results. There are other ways to use promos within 5 mins that are risk free as well. It really just depends what your goal of doing it is.

If you win consistently at sportsbetting it’s nice to have another account for tax purposes. I put 50% of all my withdrawals in a separate savings account that way I know I’m covered for taxes and after the taxes I’ve got some extra savings. It’s a nice way to keep track although a spreadsheet of the $ amounts would probably work as well

It’s actually not that hard to be profitable in sportsbetting if you know what you’re doing and you’re taking advantage of promos. For the most part it’s just a risk management game and you’re not even gambling.

For example prizepicks let’s you bet $20 risk free every Friday and they have prop discounts on Tuesdays and other promos throughout the year. If you only bet on Friday and promos the risk is pretty minimal. That’s just one site. If you start using promos across sites to maximize value you can add a decent source of income. It’s a process that can be a bit complicated to maximize profits, but if you just want some extra bucks here and there then the key is promos.

The issue is people who become addicted and just throwing bets left and right everyday or try to hit the big one to get money fast. I made $3.5k in 2022 (before taxes), maybe I could’ve made more if I was betting everyday, but there’s also a chance I wouldve lost too.

I recommend reading this reply and the next few in this thread. I find they explained it pretty well.

That’s almost a scarier thought than hitting something

A combination of Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, tiktok for some.
