My daughter and her ability for sports betting picks
I got married 17 years ago, and I’ve been satisfied with the relationship I’ve had with my wife since then, but after 2 years of marriage, we felt something was missing, and that is when we decided to have a baby.
Finally, my wife got pregnant, and since I am a big fan of NFL football, I was hoping to have a boy so I could teach him all I knew about NFL sports. But then Anne got the news that she was pregnant with a baby girl. When I heard the news, I didn’t mind about genres, I just knew it was my first kid, and I was happy as well
At first my idea was to throw all the stuff I bought for the boy I thought I was going to have into the garage, but what I didn’t know was that Jane, my now 15 year-old daughter would love and enjoy NFL football just like I do or maybe more...
It’s kind of fun when I sit with her in front of the computer trying to guess the best NFL football point spread, sometimes we even make fake bets between us and I have to admit that my wining percentage against her is pretty low...
As she enjoyed NFL football so much, she was always coming up with excellent NFL football predictions, and most of the time I listened to what she had to say. The outcome? Well, she helped me make a good amount of cash, and so I bought her a nice car as a gift. She was happy with the gift, but the truth is that she enjoyed more the sports part of the bookmaking business than the money itself, so she thanked me for the car, but I knew at the time that she wasn’t doing it for the money, so from that point on, when I bet and either lose or win, I always keep my daughter’s attitude in mind and it just feels great.
I am not sure what Jane will become when she goes to college, but I am sure that there will be a few people interested on her handicapping abilities...

An error that turned into a victory
I used to work in Vegas for this recognized sportsbook, and I was one of the most skilled NFL betting agents in the floor, but as everyone else, I made a few mistakes here and there.
The one I am going to tell you about is one that could have costed me my job, but ended up being my ticket to a better lifestyle.
When you take an NFL football bet, you can’t make a mistake as everything revolves around money. So when you receive a call, the guy on the phone tells you his username and password which you use to access his account and place the wager for him. Well, a man called and asked me for a rundown on all of the NFL football betting lines, he then proceded to do some numbers and wanted a wager on the NFL football point spread for the game Packers – Patriots, taking New England, but I accidentally placed the bet to Green Bay.
What is most interesting is that the amount of the wager was 50 grand, so a couple of hours passed and the guy called in to place a smaller one, at that moment when I was checking his NFL betting account, I realized what I did, and I thought that this particular bettor was going to be the ruin for me, but for some reason, I didn’t said a thing.
Well, the Packers won the game, and when he called to find out what happened I told him the truth, and he couldn’t be more happy, well it was a mix of anger and joy, since he knew I made a big mistake.
But since I was the man taking his wagers all the time, he knew it was the first time I messed up with his account, and he knew I was the most capable person on the floor, so he asked me to go for an interview in order to work for him at his new NFL betting operation, since then, I am making 4 times more cash that what I was making in my previous job...
What can I say? Life is odd...

My bookmaking story, from a regular job to Vegas Sports books
NFL sports betting has been a passion of mine for a few years, and I have become a very good NFL football bettor. In fact, I quit my regular job a year ago in order to start my own NFL sports bookmaking business, and so in fact, I’ve done great.
It wasn’t an easy decision, since I was making some good money at work, and I knew that if a client hit a good NFL sports bet, it could easily get me out of business, and I could end broke and looking for another job, while I began to recover from the loss. But hey: no risk, no win... (I even have a poster with those words in front of my desk).
The truth is that luck has been on my side, and I’ve never had to deal with a situation like that, actually my life style can be compared to those with good college degrees and excellent salaries, but just a little better...
What I enjoy the most is to reunite in Vegas with friends from all the country whom are also NFL football fans and NFL football sports betting bookmakers as well.
When we sit down to watch a game, we always put some interesting bets for good cash just to make it interesting, and I always end up paying for everybody’s drinks since I always win.
I am not being pompous, on the contrary; I am just telling my story of success around NFL sports betting, so others can follow the same path and have some fun while making a decent amount of money by being your own boss.
Good luck, and see you in Nevada someday!
