So after one week copying the bets of a professional sports bettor, we made a profit of... Sports betting. A universally known way to lose all of your money, and something that everyone will claim is impossible to make money from in the long run. But what if that wasn't the case? I don't know about you, but almost every time I scroll TikTok, I'm greeted by some money-flexing, Lamborghini-driving guru who claims they've got the secret sauce, the hidden gem, about how to get rich. If you compared me to you, you're . not going to win that battle. You see the usual gurus, . dropshipping, day trading, forex, but one particular type of guru I've been seeing lately is a sports betting guru. Now this? is just different. At least with dropshipping and trading there's , some expertise and skill that goes into it, but sports betting just seems like a universally known thing that you're not supposed to do it. So when I see a TikTok video of someone . with a wad of cash driving a McLaren, claiming they've made their entire fortune from , sports betting, definitely makes my ears perk up. Now if you've seen my channel before, you'd , know I'm on the hunt to try out all of these side hustles and money making schemes on . the internet. I've tried using Fiverr, day trading, e-commerce, dropshipping, just about everything. But trying to make money with sports betting? That's something I've definitely never tried. So in this video, I'm going to be trying , to make money with it for one week, with $1000. Now let me get something , extremely straight. I do not endorse gambling. This is purely an experimental . video which can hopefully entertain and educate. I was just intrigued by these TikTok , videos and I'm stupid enough to try it out, so you guys don't have to. Now the goal . for this challenge is to make a profit. Our starting balance is a cool $1,000 but if you take a solid look at me you probably realize that I'm far from a god-gifted athlete and for that . reason my sports knowledge is nothing exceptional. If it came down to me betting on sports and trying to use my own knowledge to predict these outcomes, I'm better off , giving that $1,000 to my little cousin, and watching him spend it all on V-Bucks. I'm gonna need someone who's clearly got the secret sauce who can hopefully take , my $1,000 to the moon. So I hate that I'm saying this right now, but let's jump on , TikTok and see if I can find someone to help. So I scrolled TikTok in a hunt for a guru, seeing more bundles , of cash than Warren Buffett himself, until I found the perfect person for this challenge. Okay that just screams scam. You know that quote, if it's too good to be true, it probably is? Yeah, those . are the vibes I'm getting from this video. This is a textbook fake guru. They've got the cash, , they've got the car, but this is honestly exactly who I was looking for. So unfortunately, all . that's left for me to do now is send them a DM. So despite looking like a complete and utter . scam, I went on his TikTok, found his Instagram, and sent him a message seeing if I could buy his tips where he tells you what to bet on. His response was that his subscribers were making thousands of dollars, and for only $29 a week, I could be in on the action. So, I bought it. Now before we go any further, let's run the maths on this. His premium Instagram account, which I got access to once I paid the $29 per week, has 974 followers. You can pay $29 per week or , $100 per month for the tips. So if everyone's on the monthly plan, this dude is pulling in over $97,000 per month. But I actually think a lot of people would be on the weekly . plan like me, so that number's probably well over a hundred thousand dollars a month. Not bad for selling sports betting tips. Anyway, how this works is that he posts . Instagram stories all day every day with his sports betting tips, and it's up to me , to watch those stories and place those bets before the game starts. There's also an app I've . seen him posting about called Dabble which lets you copy his bets directly, and that seems , easier so I'll probably just be using that. Anyway, time for me to deposit a . juicy $1,000 into my betting account and then wait for tomorrow because , tomorrow is day one. Okay, today is day one and yes, I know I look like Harry , Potter. If you say anything about it, I'll literally Avada Kadavra you. But today , is the first day of the challenge for this week and literally all that's left for me to do now is wait for him to post a story. He hasn't posted anything today as of , yet but there's a lot of NBA games on today so I'm pretty sure those are going . to be what we're betting on. Alright, it's 10am right now and he's actually just started sending out the bets. So we've got some NBA, tennis. I've just gone ahead and placed those

on Dabble, just copying his bets like I said earlier. And our balance is already down to $880, so currently we're negative $120 on the challenge. Alright, it's currently like 12pm and we have placed so many more bets. We've currently got 9 live bets and our balance is $595. So we're already down $405. We've got so many bets that are live right now waiting to see the outcome. So in a couple of hours, we'll know whether or not we've , made money today or lost a lot. Alright, it's currently 1pm and I've got some , splendid news. We've just won our first bet of the challenge, if you can see that there. , We put $60 on that and the multiple was 1.98. So that's returned $118.80 back into our , account. So right now we've got $683.80. Okay, I'm literally filming this one minute after I just ended that last clip. We've just won our second NBA bet, but already our account's back up . to $806 and we've still got heaps of bets live. So if we keep this up, we're definitely making money , today. It's 2.20 p.m. right now. I've pretty much been working for the past couple hours and haven't , really been staying up to date with the games, but I've just checked our account and we're at $1,155 . right now. We just won a bet with a multiplier of 9 which turned $15 into $135 which is huge, but damn, we're up $155 already on our first day of the challenge and we've still got the entire week. Safe to say this is a pretty insane start, but I'm very sceptical as you can probably hear, so let's just see what happens for the rest of the week. Alright, it's day 2 right now and I've got quite the update because when I thought we'd finished betting yesterday, that wasn't the case and we actually had about 5 more bets to do in the night time. We had table tennis and soccer to bet on and they actually both won, bringing our account up even further to $1,257 right now, as you can see here. So our profit from day 1 got brought up even further to over . $250, which is crazy. But there's a few things about how this challenge works which I want to , clear up before we get into the betting today. So what I realized yesterday is that most of , the bets he sends out are parlay bets. Which means numerous things have to happen in one bet , for it to win. But most of the bets he provided had a multiplier of around 2, which means we basically double our money on the bet if it wins. Now in terms of determining how much money I . need to put on each bet, he actually tells us that when he posts the story. So when he'll post , a story like the NBA bet, he'll tell us to put two units on it and typically one unit will represent . about three to five percent of your total account balance. So in our case, our account started , with $1,000 so I'm betting with $30 per unit. Okay so it seems like today is going to be , actually fairly slow because there's no NBA on and yesterday NBA pretty much made up all of our bets but he has just sent out a table tennis bet with a multiple of about three so I've just put that on . and we'll see what happens with that. Alright it's pretty much the end of the day now but that table tennis bet did end up hitting which is fantastic. He did also send out a bet for a horse . race but that unfortunately didn't win. He also sent out another soccer bet and that's going to be , playing while I'm asleep. But to end the night our balance is currently on $1,170 but we still have , $120 worth of bets which are playing overnight. So we did end up making a little bit of profit , from that table tennis bet. Alrighty, so I've just checked out last night's bets and we actually , didn't do too badly. One of the bets lost and the other one won, so overall our account has grown to $1310 as you can see here. Now there are heaps of NBA bets on today just like day one and I also , just realized that he actually sent out a bet this morning for an NBA game on the Timberwolves and he put two units on that and it ended up winning, which means we would have made another $70 profit if I just checked my phone. So that's just so annoying. Our account would be close to $1,400 if , I placed that bet but I missed it but that's just life. Alright it's currently 12pm and as expected . he sent out so many tips today for all of the NBA games. We've currently got 12 bets live and our . balance has gone all the way down to $800. So we've spent like $500 on bets today and they're all live right now so we'll see what happens. All right, well that didn't go to plan. It's . 9 o'clock at night right now and unfortunately we have had a rough day. A lot of the bets , got super super close but missed out by like one point or one rebound and for that reason the whole parlay lost. So we ended up losing almost every bet today. I knew this streak was coming to an end. We still won a couple of bets so our account is sitting at $1,010 right . now. But damn, we seriously got drained. This feels like much more of a realistic . expectation when it comes to betting. Well, that was a rough day. As you saw, , we had a bit of a shocker yesterday, losing almost every single bet and sending our account pretty much straight back to break-even at $1,010 right now. But, it's .

now day 4 and there's heaps of NBA games on just like yesterday But hopefully we don't . replicate yesterday's results because that was just shocking I think these results are much . more typical when it comes to sports betting because at the end of the day these games are , so unpredictable, players getting injured, players really outperforming based on their . usual performance, I've learned that there are so many factors that really affect the game . and that are really hard to predict as well. But I'm still a complete beginner at this and our best bet is definitely leaving it to the pros. So as I said, day 4 today, let's see what happens. Alright, we are finally in a position where I , can confidently say we're doing a good job... at losing. Yep, you guessed it, another few losses . today unfortunately bringing our account down to $960, so negative $50 on the day. But what sucks . is today's bets lost by the tiniest little thing like one rebound or one point and there was one massive bet which we put $90 on and that lost by again one single rebound so if that won we would , be up over $150 in profit today but it didn't. Alright well I'm about to go to bed but I did , just place a couple of little bets which are going to be playing while I'm asleep so we're down , today but hopefully these overnight bets can cash. Alright so good thing we placed those little bets , last night because this morning we're back up to $1,010. And again, there's heaps of NBA on today, . so we'll place those bets and see what happens. I've just placed all of our NBA bets and our . balance has gone all the way down to $765. Okay, a little loss today with the NBA. We're currently at $943 in the balance, so we lost about $60 or $70 today. It's about 10pm now and , I've just placed three more little bets which are going to be playing overnight just like yesterday . so we'll see what happens in the morning. All right we have once again had some seriously unfortunate luck overnight. Our account is currently sitting at $912 right now. While I was , asleep he also sent out a two unit bet and that ended up winning so if I got on that our account , would be well over a thousand dollars right now but I was asleep but there are still a few which . haven't started yet so I'm going to bet on those. So hopefully that one wins. Alright, so not the best day on NBA today but also not too terrible either. As it stands, our account . is currently sitting at $880, so about $30 less than it was this morning. But he did just . send me two soccer tips which are going to be playing overnight. So I'm going to place those, go to sleep and see what happens in the morning. Good morning. Great morning actually. What a night! We managed to get back into . the green. The account is at $886 right now, but this bet here actually won, it just hasn't been paid out into our account yet, so once that gets paid out, that puts our account back to $1050, which is in the green. You can probably hear how excited I am to say that after a week of absolute roller coasters. Now today is officially the last day of the challenge, day 7, so we've got one last chance, one last hurrah, to see if we can bring this account back up and make some actual profit for this challenge. So he sent out the final bets for the week all on the NBA and here's what happened. Alright so the first bet of the day has officially won but to lock in another $200 we need Steph Curry to hit literally one more rebound and it's the last quarter of the game. So I'm literally shaking right now he needs three rebounds and he's currently on two and it's the last , quarter. So come on Steph Curry, please! Okay, we've done it. One week of following a so-called professional bettor. It's been an absolute rollercoaster, but I can , safely say that the results are actually pretty good. From making $200 on our first day, to then staying basically negative or break-even for the rest of the week and then on our final day bringing it home with a good amount of profit, not bad. But the moment you've been waiting for, how much profit did we actually make? Drumroll please? $280. You can see our account here is sitting at a very healthy $1280 right now and it's safe to say I'm going to be withdrawing , that straight back into my bank account because this week has been stressful. , But as you can see, these results are painfully inconsistent. I'm gonna have to , try this again over a longer period of time, so if you want to see me try that, go , ahead and hit the like button down below.
