I don't really call my job a 'job'. Researching sports takes more of my time and feels more like a job

From how it looks to me, to make a good living at it you`d first have to be making large bets, at least around 1000 per play average. So if you made 100 bets per month and won 53 and balanced out some of the chalk with some dogs, youd have it. Or one could take a losing record but find value in a lot of dogs. None of this would be at all easy...
