great point about not overreacting to losses. finally learning that after 10 years in the game.

[@bryantlucas6006]

Learned after my 2nd year betting on nationals

[@dirtydan1237]

Lucas Dantes worked out for ya this time eh?

[@floriandohrmann7309]

best advice ever...cut off the losses and let the good times roll, Teddy is the man :)

[@erikjohansson2300]

When I do parley it will be a group of heavy favorites, and I will money line them. I did good with this on NBA games. I called it dying for Zion parlays

[@ryanalexandre8898]

How do u play with the parlays

[@hughjass1724]

Nobody: Teddy: Sure

[@dunkscoots]

Kelly is definitely a BIG TIME JOE!!

[@keeganlamotte1489]

What makes you say that?

[@stlcameron22]

@@keeganlamotte1489 I don't know if I agree completely with Scott however she is really big on the Parlays

[@joshct9426]

If you're struggling.... DONT BET MORE! I laughed during the whole video because I've been there LOL

[@jordanking6939]

What makes sense if you're betting for action, you'll lose 7 out of 10 times. The Pros that win 6 out of 10 times have the edge. This is why talking about college football and college basketball, the smaller mid-major conferences can win more money on the sharps because those games are given as much attention. Also diversity in moneyline where the gap is smaller reduces the risk if you want to do a straight moneyline than a spread.

[@ccdogpark]

I can't go with the advice to bet close to the same amount on every game. I bide my time with small bets until I see something I really like. I try and pay close attention to 4 teams in our own NFC division and see if they look like they are an especially good or bad bet that week. Trying to watch & analyze 32 teams is too hard to do.

[@robertfung6674]

The best advice is just flip a coin and close your eyes, bet whatever team the coin says.

[@Mike73010]

the future bets are good bc u don't have to worry about betting a team each week and if the team loses it usually doesn't matter. to make playoffs.

[@richardb6510]

Some games are rigged

[@davidclark4376]

This...................................................................a fact

[@ease3715]

Yes they are predetermined

[@michaellarrick8881]

*all games

There used to be another show with 3 guys and 1 pretty blonde girl hosting also. She usually just stands on a podium and the 3 guys are mostly on videochat screens. I forgot which show is that but I remember their fun banters.

[@fender1000100]

The best bet in sports is betting against Nadal winning Wimbledon. Because he has just won the French open for the millionth time. He will be over valued at Wimbledon. And probably wont even make the final. My advice oppose him of he gets through the first 2 rounds. The value on his opponents will be as high as 10/1. Easy money even if you have to bet 4 times. You heard it here first.

[@hshshsussujsjs9267]

PROJECT DX well said

[@dannyc5389]

Teddy cuts his own hair

[@Mike73010]

In college don't underestimate the spread. One time I bet Oklahoma -41 1/2 and they won 58-3.

[@rubenowitzv.3135]

Noo?.. Kelly Is A Pro Sharp!✍🏻

[@oullerslb]

Pretty good advices

[@mpld1979]

Great advice 😀

[@kevinoverholtzer3126]

good video thanks for the tips

[@Dino05Lil]

Just moved to Vegas I have a question ? How much money can you win without having to report it to IRS? I heard if you win over 10k on a bet they report it. My next question is if you bet and win a lot of money thru out the year do you have to report it ?

[@rj4izzy2]

Technically yes, normally people do not which is why uncle sugar eventually knocks on the front door.

[@kevinoverholtzer3126]

when you go to collect and they have you fill out a form and at the end of the year you receive a 1099 you have to report that money no matter what because the casino sent you and the irs a 1099 form stating you received that money.

[@LuisLopez-hy1bx]

technically if you win more than $400 in the year irs wants their part of the cake. will have to report in schedule c as a business. if you are a pro gambler. big difference between pro gambler and not

[@bryantlucas6006]

Yes it counts as a job you also pay fees to bookies & government taxes

[@woneanddonewagering7221]

Works like this as long as you don't cash in or bet over 10k in a day it won't be reported to irs , don't bet more than $1000 in a single bet , or don't have a single ticket with a payout more than 10k

[@yeshayem6274]

I do data base research and guess what I still lose my parlay cuz why well cuz u need to bet 3 max games even that is still lot at the end of the day house wins

[@zu1502]

Wish I seen this video before I threw all my winnings in 😂 ahhh smh

[@Jay-vq2hp]

Wish I would of heard this a while ago just got smacked this week 🤕🤕🤕

[@EricSmyth4Christ]

lol!

[@EricSmyth4Christ]

Pros hit you up to tell you they got banned on their account for winning too much, to ask you to bet for them. Joes click 'No bonus' on the deposit bonus

[@mariahw7451]

Id love to know how much these two have made betting

[@yeshayem6274]

None they don’t bet 😂

[@Mikeycolkey2166]

Just subscribed and following. Hoping I can win too 😉.. good video

[@devancowan]

What should be your max bet in comparison to your bankroll? 4-5%??

[@Wagertalk]

We usually do 5% max.

[@oullerslb]

Depend on your win %... if you win 1 out of 3 bet you can bet 20% of it and be winner on the long run

[@devancowan]

@@oullerslb yeah I agree but you shouldn't be betting 20% of your stack. Its a long climb in the sports betting game not an overnight payday

[@oullerslb]

Ypur right! But i always cash out my winnings instantly and only keeps 200$ max on my bankroll so of course 20% isnt that much... i found that cashing out your winnings right away is better than trying up your bankroll to 1k lets say.

[@oullerslb]

Just curious. What is your betting style? Parlays? Teaser or singles

[@josephtylerdc9830]

Kelly is a beautiful women with a beautiful smile and she loves football.. 😍
