The Hardest Part of Professional Gambling

Posted this as an intro to a TSP Live alert on Friday and it got solid reviews, so I am adding it to the education section on TSP.Live for future reference…

🎯 The Hardest Part of Professional Gambling

The hardest part of this journey is not teaching people how to win — it’s getting them not to quit. When gambling stops feeling like easy money, so many bettors just vanish.

Over the past week, I’ve been diving deep into lessons from March, April, and May to show what true professional gambling looks like. Why? Because the real path to success goes against everything most people are taught. Breaking those bad habits and misconceptions is the toughest challenge. But if I can do that with you, you’ll evolve into an exceptional professional bettor…with a healthy income!

đź’­ The Dream vs. The Reality đź’Ş

The Dream:
According to the so-called experts on Twitter/X, Instagram, and TikTok, gambling is easy money. They promise constant best bets, daily locks, and effortless wealth. You’re urged to buy multiple picks at $29.99 each per day or sign up for a $399 or $599/month package — all sold by people who haven’t posted a winning year in their lives.

Their credentials? Maybe a handicapping contest win from 2007 or 2015. And forget about transparency. These services never maintain a public daily log AND daily compiled records like The Sharp Plays does — because doing so would expose their inconsistencies and lack of real performance!

Some services will let you pull previous selections, but they avoid compiling the actual results for one reason: they know most people won’t take the time to do it themselves. They pretend to be transparent by allowing access to all previous selections, but without compiled records (LONG-TERM RECORDS…not just current season or last 30 days) of all those previous selections, it’s meaningless. They’re counting on your laziness — that you won’t run the numbers, and you’ll just assume their performance is solid because the past plays are “available.”

Let’s be clear: transparency means nothing without accountability.

If a service dazzles you with flash but won’t show you detailed long-term records — meaning performance across past seasons and years, not just a cherry-picked month or a single season — AND daily logs of ALL their action that you can independently track and audit, they have something to hide!!! A real pro doesn’t hide the data. If someone’s legit — like The Sharp Plays — they want you to see the records and the logs of EVERYTHING…every year and every wager! That’s the difference between a seller of dreams and a provider of results. I flex on my results — I put my dick on display each day because I want you to see how big it is, not just talk about it and stuff a sock in my pants hoping you’ll trust me on what I’m packing.

The Reality:
When I explain how this business actually works — backed by 26 years of experience and 15 straight public winning years since launching the content in 2011 — people push back. It doesn’t fit the fantasy they bought into years ago from the pick sellers and hype machines. They want easy money, fast cars, private jets, $100K bets, and guaranteed wins.

But real success? It isn’t flashy. It’s methodical. It’s disciplined. It’s long-term.

And yes — the fast cars, private jet access, and six-figure wagers? Those come too… but only with time. When I started out betting in high school I was betting $5 a game. Dropping $100 felt like putting a million on the line.

Today? I’m living the dream. Dedication, time, and relentless effort got me here — and it can get you here too.

It might sound over the top, but as I write this and think back to those days grinding for an edge in my bedroom at my parents’ house in high school, and then fast forward to where I am now… I get emotional. I never imagined I’d make it this far — but I did.

And here’s the truth: I’m nobody special. I didn’t come from millions. I didn’t have a head start. Every break I got, I earned…and I accepted failures and got back up. This isn’t some overnight success story — it’s a story of persistence, belief, and refusing to quit.

🔍 Trust the Process

Here’s what I hope you’ve learned these past three months:

  • Trust the process. Even if it’s not flashy, it’s proven and time-tested — 26 years professionally and 15 years publicly… with winners every year.
  • My style may be unconventional — rollovers, parlays, passing multiple days at a time, and more — but it works. Let’s not fix what’s not broken.
  • We will have losing days, weeks, and even months. But discipline and consistency lead to long-term profits.

❌ LOSERS QUIT!

After January and February, some quit. TSP Portfolio was down 15%/units for 2025, and Hermes A.I. wasn’t on fire yet. So they gave up. Why? The money wasn’t fast enough or easy enough.

But those who stayed now see Hermes A.I. climb to +48.11%/unit bankroll growth and TSP Portfolio reach +20.15%/unit bankroll growth in 2025. Combined? Aggressive followers have experienced +68.26%/unit bankroll growth in just five months as of today. That’s the reward for patience.

🧠 Are You Really Following the Plan?

If you’re thinking, “I’m not up +68.26%/units,” ask yourself:

  • Did you change your strategy?
  • Did you follow someone else?
  • Did you add your own bets not part of the system?

That’s likely why your results are different. Consistency is everything. Stick to the plan and the results will come. Audit your action with the daily logs at TheSharpPlays.com.
