Is sports gambling legal where you're at and do you partake

[eli77]

I don't believe it's become fully legalized here in Florida but we're working towards that end what type of gambling sports or other do you partake in?

In Pakistan, it is illegal and banned to bet and gamble.

Legal; but only on/through licensed websites and government owned casinos in general.

Yeah it's legal. I rarely do it. If I do it's usually a few bucks on a crazy parlay that will return like $200 of I hit. Actually won one of these before.

 

[EyeBRollin]

Yes, legal. No, I don’t partake. Gambling (with the exception of blackjack and poker) is negative expectation.

Where and when did it become legal wherever you are and by the way where are you?

Elaborate

Nope

Nope

Ok so you mind telling me where?

Negative expectation means over time you are mathematically certain to lose money. The only casino games that are “beatable,” meaning they can have a positive expectation are poker (play vs humans instead of the house) and blackjack (card counting).

You can find longterm success picking off bad lines and arbitraging lines that are off between two sportsbooks, but most people lack the discipline for that. Also, many sportsbooks will catch on and you ban you or limit you. Is that unethical on their part to ban winners? Absolutely, but they do it anyway.

 

[redskinsfan92]

It's funny. Besides ethical arguments there are interesting facts about sportsbooks banning players and casinos kicking out blackjack card counters. Casinos kick out way too many people that are either bad card counters or wrongly accused. They are actually losing more money trying to catch card counters than if they simply allowed it. The same effort would see better return if they focused on other things like those manipulating their rewards programs with multiple cards. I suspect the same for sportsbook. Losing money banning players who they think are sharp, but most are actually longterm losers.

I gamble in Florida, but in other states they still have shops you can bet which I've done too via my cousins. Only bet on Football (soccer) and boxing.

In the UK I bet daily, I play poker occasionally (less these days as it's time consuming to get into (Poker mode), and daily blackjack. Blackjack is my favourite as with bankroll management I make very good profits.

I know a lot of people say this, but I'm up overall, bankroll management and banking money regularly is key.

I only ramped up my gambling after my business started generating good income, and I only bet with set aside gambling money.

The heart attacks after 10 BJ losses in a row are fun. I don't advise gambling at all, it's not good, it works for very few though.
