What sort of turnover and %return are you getting???How many bets/week, how large are the bets??

Just wondering....this is just going to be a supplementary income for me (my other incomes are all gambling though), but I like each income to be large enough to live off comfortably (which all makes for one nice large income :wink:

I was just wondering what sort of growth rates are normal.

If your "other incomes are all gambling" and you need to ask how long a piece of string is, please post some more detailed info, I'd be fascinated!

I can - should I be inclined - demonstrate 200%+ profits -- and 800%+ profits.

But how long is that piece of string really?

Hmmm...

I am still confused with the pick%.

I've read on a reasonably professional forum that the mid 50's to 60% is a very good rate (well they gave me that impression).

I also have no idea how many bets are possible in a day/week/year. I've seen posts saying 30 in a day (this is the US).

I don't fully understand how SB works....

How do you calculate your profit% of total wagered. Where does the bookies cut come into it etc...

Just to hear this explained would clear any confusion from my head, and allow me to calculate profits for a BR

I think I'm starting to understand...I was getting pick%s mixed up with capping edges.

Makes sense now. If your picking 70% winners, where's the need for great capping skills?

Ahhh youth.

I dove into the deep end of this industry right away. Started playing BJ using progressions, thinking they could make me a million. I learnt to count well before I ever sat down at a table, but still used progressions. I quickly learnt they don't work.

So I began to make my money counting. Still, I customised my own progression (only wasting $100 on it), and that grew into 1k, which grew into 10k, then quite a bit more.

Then I decided to quit that while I was ahead, and focus on CC. I then soon started BHing (bonus hustling), and made quite a lot from it.

I have a large BR and a german car with a Flat 6 in it (those enthusiasts out there know the car I'm talking about). I'm only 20, sure I might have had a decent run in the beginning (not good luck, just my progression didn't bust often, and my wins were as large as my losses), but now I have a large amount of capital, and only play with an advantage. I realise as long as I keep it smart, I can have an extremely lavish lifestyle.

I'm just feeling good about it, which is why I might come off as cocky. But then again I'm young, and succesful. Modesty shouldn't be expected :wink:

BTW, BHing has brought me alot more money than CC at a much lower ROR. For all the counters out there, you should have tried it, you'd certainly be quite a bit wealthier.

As to being confident, I am in everything. I know I will succeed in gambling, I am good at risk&money management, and only bet when I have the advantage. On top of that, I have a large BR, and can cope with the fluctuations. It would take an act of God to take me out now.

a tiff? this is just a dead topic :wink:

Of course I know those 'codes'. I do gamble for a living you know.

Hi Mr J,

Can you (or someone) please explain what you mean by bonus hustling? Do you mean looking for enticements to gamble that increase the value of your bets?

Cheers,
