Sharky will be the fist to tell you, there's no "real" advantage play in sports betting, so you've got to be on your A game with handicapping to be able to make any money with it. For me, sports betting is more of a "companion" to Fantasy Football, of which I am far more than just a fan or hobbyist. While there is no "advantage" there either, the amount of work and detail I put into FF gives me a competitive edge in most leagues. Of course, every league I play in has a money pool or it wouldn't be worth my time. Over the last 6 or 7 years I think I've taken down about 65% of the pools I've played for and that equates to about a modest 4 figure income year after year. Nothing to live on, but something that I can count on from my undying love for the game of football. As for blackjack, I think I'm on month number 9 as far as "taking it seriously" is concerned, and machine/vp plays I'm 8 or 9 years into now. Though, it was only until the last 5 or 6 months that I went heavy into the VP side of things as far as machine/vp is concerned.
I loved Peyton when he was a Colt, but ever since he joined "my" division I've had to force myself to dislike him. When he is retired as a player, I'll be a happy camper and fully support the guy as his agent haha.
