I have been doing hockey prolines for 2 years now. I got my gambling jar and my savings jar. If the time comes that I need to dip into my savings jar then gambling season is over for me.
So far since the second week of the NHL season, I have accumulated $2000 winnings. Make about 2-3 tickets a week. $20 a ticket. An average ticket payout is between 200-450 dollars (depending on the upsets). So spent maybe $300 since my first one. So about $1700 total profit.
It really is about picking the dates and the right underdogs. Take into consideration road travel, goalies, injuries, b2b nights. Lots of little things that can add-in.
I also have the evidence as I keep all my tickets win or lose
On a side note: STL is due for a loss just as TO is due for a win (could be as early as tonight *hint* *hint*). But you win some and you lose some.
