how could I have been so blind :O

I only bet on teams that I'm intimately familiar with, the rest of them are basically 50/50 to me unless there's a weird line
I've watched enough of certain players/teams that I know when they are going to go out and perform and when they aren't. if the line is favorable in such a situation I go for it
this only means I bet about 10-20 times a year but my winning percentage is extremely high

do you win enough to make a quick profit? is it worthwhile?

This. If you have a good understanding of what a team is like, it's easier to predict what sort of outcomes they'll produce. And I swear that sometimes betting sites put up random odds. Yesterday I made a wager at +105 for Manchester City scoring over 0.5 goals, about 2 minutes before they scored.
Always beat like losing is not an option, I mean, you might lose, but what if you'll win?
For example, in the start of the season, I put $5000 on Bilbao beating Barca 4-0, easiest money ever

I've never intended to make this a full-time job, it's a hobby for me
If I were to treat this like a job I would quit my current job and do it full-time
I have enough time currently to follow about 6 teams very closely and so I restrict my betting to those teams
I don't think I would want to make betting my job because I enjoy watching the amount of sports I do now at my leisure, I would never want to feel like I HAVE to watch a game

it always felt more like a gamble to me honestly
Actually I just had a funny idea. Do betting sites give better odds on teams they sponsor?

if it feels like I'm gambling then I don't consider it a good bet
if I lose, I'm always genuinely surprised but I try to learn from it either way
usually the game will go in a direction that I didn't forsee, either via fouls/ejections or poor coaching strategy
>>66655549
why would they do that, their main purpose is to make money so I doubt it.
Ask /bet/; I hear they're quite helpful

It's full of obnoxious Britbongs though.
If you're new to betting then a good thing to know is to always make individual bets and never put all your money in a single bet, learn how to administer your money.
