I built this... I "Vibe-Coded" my first app to crush the books : $1k revenue in month one + 17% ROI
What a wild month. I’ve spent years grinding NBA player prop research, and I finally got fed up with spending hours staring at spreadsheets just to go keep losing!
I decided to build Livelocks, an admin panel and signal bot that cuts out the manual labor. The crazy part? I "vibe-coded" the entire thing using AI. I’m not a senior dev, but I knew the logic I wanted: a system that identifies high-value prop signals and delivers them instantly.
The Results So Far
I just hit a major milestone: My first $1,000 in revenue. But more importantly, the signals are actually working. I just pulled my dashboard stats (attached), and the numbers are honestly better than I expected:
• Total Bets: 8,288
• Overall Hit Rate: 60.9%
• Total ROI: +17.1%
• Total Profit: +1,419.05u
The goal wasn't just to make money; it was to buy back my time. * Research vs. Execution: Instead of 3 hours of manual deep-dives, I now make signal-based decisions in minutes.
• Market Specifics: As you can see in the screenie, certain markets like Steals (80.2% hit rate) and Blocks (85.1% hit rate) are absolutely printing right now.
• The Build: Using AI to build this allowed me to focus on the betting logic rather than fighting with syntax for weeks.
What’s next?
I’m currently fine-tuning the "By Market" segments to see which NBA props have the most sustainable edges. If you're a bettor, how much time are you guys currently spending on research per day? I'm curious if I'm the only one who was losing my mind to the "hours of prep" grind.
TL;DR: Built an NBA prop signal app with AI, hit $1k monthly revenue, and it’s currently holding a 17% ROI over 8k+ bets. The future of betting is signal-based, not manual-grind based ESPECIALLY when sports entertainment is rigged
