I've been into sports betting for two and a half decades. Let's say it started as a competition with my friends and myself, trying to pick the correct outcomes.
Yet, over the years, betting has become a solid and stable income source for me.
I'm not going to lie to you; this is not just an ongoing battle between me and the bookies but also between me and myself. Sports betting is more about discipline than anything else, and my past experience taught me that if I want to become a successful and profitable bettor, the first step would be to learn about self-control and only then start gathering information about matches and events.
What can I say about my betting approach?
Over the years I've become pretty versatile. Soccer, NBA, tennis, NFL, and the UFC are my areas. And, yes, you can be successful and track several competitions at once.
I like betting on goals and totals.
I also like betting on unusual props and outrights, like red cards, penalties, and other things. Sometimes, that makes the whole process and business more exotic and challenging. And you need to challenge yourself sometimes to stay sharp.
About me personally?
I am a die-hard Partizan Belgrade fan who travels around Europe to watch them play basketball and football. I also like hiking and gardening, which are nice ways of relaxing after a day of betting.

Biggest Win: Four-game parlay, which included the Egyptian second league and two friendlies +34000 (It was luck, I am not going to lie)
Copa Libertadores three-game parlay +26000
Best Betting Moment: Hitting 7 of 8 on the World Cup finals in Russia, France vs. Croatia. At the time I owned a bar, and everyone went ballistic because the whole bar made the same bets. It was one of those days to remember for the entire life.
Worst Beat: Back in late March 2019, I was two goals away from $11,000 on my system. One game was Orlando City vs. DC United, where one additional goal would have brought me at least $2,000, and I waited for it for more than half an hour. The other was Club America vs. Tigres, BTTS in the first half. It was 1-0 in the 5th minute for CA, but Tigres couldn\\\'t level. That goal was worth $2,500. Combined $11,000. It still brings tears to my eyes.
