30 wins and 8 losses. Like printing money!
Wait, wut?
Like others have said, the retardation in this thread is insurmountable.
You didn't fucking read the thread properly. You don't bet straight on every game, on 5 of these losses (draw/loss) you wouldn't have betted on them cos they were playing competitive teams like Celtic/Hearts etc. There was 3 bad results that would have lost money, but there was never a chain of two bad results and so each loss could have easily been covered with a large bet in their next game after the loss to retrieve stake + profit. Teams like FC Porto and Olympiakos had much greater records than Rangers, just used them as an example.
Winning gambling strategy...
Hit a casino around 11pm. Be good at poker. Have a big enough roll to handle swings at your level.
Watch the tables.
You want to find drunks, tourists and gamblers, you don't want to sit at a table with other skilled players.
You can't beat the house long term at anything legitimately.
Roulette would require a fixed wheel (maybe shady dealer IF they can manipulate the wheel, but I doubt that).
You can't beat BJ without counting. Counting down an 8-deck shoe (which most are, or they change the odds to make up for it) profitably. You could also find a dealer who will flash their hole card but it's highly unlikely and if you did find one it wouldn't be long before they get caught.
You can't beat sports without inside info or arbitrage betting, the latter being when you can find 2 lines to bet on that are different enough to give you an edge.
Re: Bonus Whoring. Back in ~2003 it was legit. Casinos where offering insane bonuses because it was so competitive.
You'd simply calculate the bonus and the wager requirements. Sometimes you could catch a 30% edge.
I won about $5k over a week. All playing BS blackjack, and probably $4k of it was the actual bonus money. I hit up about 15 casinos to do it, and put in ridiculous hours with maybe a ~20% edge with the bonuses...
So even with that edge variance could have wiped me out.
I doubt you can find whoring opportunities like that today.
This much I do know. Most pro gamblers I've read about lived shitty lives. Back when you could still count cards, and get maybe a 5% edge in BJ, the guys I read about slept in vans, never tipped, ate peanut butter sandwiches and grinded ridiculous hours to make $100 or so a day.
Even pro poker players, who are like superstars these days, most of those guys have gone broke more than once.
I remember reading about Stu Unger, arguably the greatest poker player of all time. Back then everyone was a fish. The games were nothing like they are today.
He'd go into a casino on a stake because he was broke, win $100k, go get coked up, come back to the table, lose it all and end up even further in the hole.
Dude was the greatest of all time and spent the last years of his life broke and begging for money.
That has more to do with being a degen than anything, but still, with VERY rare exception being a pro-gambler is not a glamorous life.
Be thankful for interweb moniez.

This happened to me recently. I don't remember which casino, but it was in Vegas. I was really drunk. After three hands of me knowing the dealers exact hand (20, three times in a row) I still busted on each one. Bad timing. Plus I needed to pass out.
i only had luck with slots and nothing else. Slots have always made me money 
Still remember the jackpot i hit at Sands, Macau
Still remember the jackpot i hit at Sands, MacauYou didnt read the fucking thread properly. This betting strategy is just as retarded as any other, probably more retarded in some ways.

I know you are not saying slots are profitable and you are probably well aware that they are not, but just saying in a casino I am pretty sure thats slots are the machines with the best edge for casinos.
Going to assume you are a) trolling or b) too stupid to be saved. Either way go get rich with your awesome martingale + sportsbetting strategy man, its a great way to make lots of money. :uhoh2:
Making Adsense monies is my focus. Betting is just a hobby at the wknd.
You come across as a bright lad. Just less of the flaming aight?!
Your main problem is that you think you can bet on whether the Rangers will straight up win or lose. That is not the case - you will not find anyone at all willing to take that bet without either laying odds or a point spread. Think about it - who the fuck would bet against them or any dominant team if you could bet straight up win/lose?
It's so easy to make money with sports arbitrage. Not really gambling though.
Example bet (cricket match):
Back India @ 1.7 for $2000
Back West Indies @ 3.1 for $1000
Either way, you make a profit. $400 if India (favorites) win, $100 if West Indies wins. And this is before the game even begins. Draws are extremely unlikely in ODI or 20/20 cricket.
If you up the stake by one zero thats a guaranteed daily 4 figure income.
Of course you can make much more if you're sharp and keep watching the odds as the game progresses but it is important not to get greedy or optimistic.
Be advised though that if you use betfair.com their odds are actually 1 less than what a conventional bookmaker may offer (3.1 means you get $2100 profit + $1k stake back total $3100 not 4100)

LOL American Roulette.
I play Roulette (very occasionally) with the understanding that it's a guarantee that I will lose long term, fuck these stupid systems off.
Anyone into Omaha hi/lo?
Just got into it, prefer it loads to texas holdem. Yesterday was in a tourney, ended up coming #100, needed to be in the top #72 to advance. At a few points, I had the most chips of anyone in the tourney, lol.

LOL, casinos have been built on people who thought they discovered some miraculous betting system that would negate the house edge... they haven't.
If you can count cards in blackjack, you can get an edge. There might also be something behind "dice control" in craps, where by holding and throwing the dice a certain way, you end up rolling a 7 less often than expected. It works in theory, but I haven't practiced it.
I played poker professionally for years before I got into internet marketing/copywriting.
