Robin Hoods: PLAY OF THE DAY

Robin Hood: Taking from the rich and giving to the poor.

I am new to posting on forums so below is a brief introduction about me.

• I have been handicapping for sixteen (16) years but professionally for only three years. Professionally, to me, means making enough money off your wagers to live without needing another job or source of income.
• I make just ONE selection each day, 350 days per year (I usually take off the final two weeks of the year to spend time with family and friends over the holidays).
• I flat bet all of my wagers to win 2.5% of my starting bankroll, which in MY case for 2010 was a starting bankroll of 50,000. It is much easier to win the percentage of games you set as a goal than to decide which games are worth a larger wager than the rest)
• My goal for every calendar year (Jan 1st - Dec 31st) is to win 60% of my selections [with a record of 210-140] profiting around 150% of my starting bankroll (in MY case for 2010 I had a goal to profit $75,000).
• With 16 years of gambling experience believe that I am well aware of fluxation. What I mean by this is: though my goal each year is to win 60% of my selections, some calendar years i'll win 65% and some years I will win 55% but I am confident that over the longevity of a decade [10 years] my record will hover around 60%).
• With a starting bankroll of $50,000 and flat betting each wager to win 2.5% of my bankroll I know going into each year that winning just 55% of my selections still guarantees I win 100% of my bankroll (in my case this means I win $50,000$).
• As a single bachelor with no children, this is more than enough for me to live comfortably off of.

Why am I telling you all this? I wan't to show you how easy it is to successfully profit every year and live off your winnings. Of course you need lots of experience in handicapping and personally it has been a long road for me to get to the point where I am at, but I have decided to join this forum to lend my hand.

Taking from the rich (the sportsbooks) and giving to the poor (us degenerates). 

I personally divide each year into ten segments of 35 days with the goal of finishing 21-14 (60% every 35 days).  This makes progress on the year easier to track and keeps your mind focussed. I won't be tracking my results in segments simply because I am mid-way through a segment as we speak.  I WILL start tracking in segments once again January 1st, 2011.

How to profit off my wagers best?

I recommend that anybody interested in following my selections to set aside a mini bankroll that fits your own personal status and goals. Whether it is a bankroll of $100, $500 , $5,000, $10,000 or $50,000 etc.

If you do not have the patience to stick to one selection per day then you can still use my wagers to supplement your own. Just remember, do not risk more then 2.5% of your bankroll. I've spent years upon years handicappng and I KNOW that flat betting one wager per day is the BEST WAY to effectively boost your bankroll and if you have the knowlege and experience (which I do) you can double your bankroll, or better, every calendar year. People trying to get rich quick off gambling ALL end up losing their money, baring a borderline miracle. This is a process and i'm tired of seeing these sportsbooks take advantage of people who think they've got what it takes to get rich knowing that sooner or later they'll get greedy and lose every cent they have. The amount of handicappers that profit over the course of a calendar year has to be around 2%. Gambling is an addiction and without a smart action plan, like the one i've listed above and following the guidelines to a tee, you will lose.

STOP GIVING THE SPORTSBOOKS YOUR MONEY. THEY'RE ALL BILLIONAIRE COMPANIES ALREADY, THANKS TO YOU AND PEOPLE LIKE YOU. There are too many people out there with no structure, losing their money day in and day out and I hope that I can be the kick in the butt many of you need.

I'll have todays play posted in a few minutes and I hope that I didn't come off as rude in this opening post, but I am sick to my stomach seeing the amount of people losing money to these scumbag sportsbooks when they could be winning. Thanks for reading, if you got this far .. be smart with your money.

Two plays for Thursday; I took Tuesday off due to lack of action.

I took Tuesday off due to lack of options and because I was waiting to see if the Toronto line would open at -130 or less. "Two plays for Thursday; I took Tuesday off due to lack of action."

Goodluck

my compliments on your business plan... its what most of the bettors should be following... im not talking about your picks, they may or may not be solid but you business plan is right on...

may you have continued success...

Thinker

Just would like your opinion...

Back in 2006 and 2007 I had a very nice stash to use for gaming ONLY (like you now have) and would play 4 game clips starting with (Example) 550.00 for the initial game. I would roll over the entire amount (550 + winnings) for each of the next consecutive 3 games.

Example: Using -110 odds for each game.

Game-1) 550 to win 500 = 1050

Game-2) 1050 to win 954.55 = 2004.55

Game-3) 2004.55 to win 1822.32 = 3826.87

Game-4) 3826.87 to win 3478.97 = 7305.84

Profit: 7305.84 - 550 = 6755.84 in just four games.

Do this successfully at least ONCE a month and you can gross at least 87,670.08 with a net profit of 81,070.08 for 12 successful runs a year(Minus 550 per failed run).

I have done this successfully on multiple efforts in the same months. But, if you lose one of the 4 games and get busted for the initial 550 then you could just double up for the next run or do what I usually did which is just go again with the 550 for an initial wager to win four consecutive games. You can lose 12 attempts at four consecutive games and win the 13th run and still come out ahead by 155.84 dollars by starting with 550. That might sound silly to just about everyone but it just goes to show you that even a crappy capper can do this with just one 4 game run outta 13 attempts.

My point is... If you are a good capper you should be able to put together MULTIPLE 4 game runs in 13 attempts meaning you will make some pretty bank like I did on multiple atempts.

Do you get what I'm saying? Any capper worth his weight in salt should be able to do this. It just takes patience to wait for the right games for a four game run.

To make close to the same net profit by betting ONE GAME A DAY you would have to be up 13 wins over losses to make the same amount and that's at EVEN money for odds. I'm sure that you can put together a 4 game run in multiple 13 attempted periods during the year.

Now... Using your 2.5% of that 50,000 stash to make an initial wager in a 4 game run attempt, a successful run would net you 16,604.13 (at -110 odds for each game). And your gross winnings for that 4 game run would be 15,354.13 for ONE successful run.

Do this once a month successfully and you GROSS a whopping...184,249.56 for one successful 4 game run per month in just one year. Keep in mind that for every Unsuccessful 4 game run you would only deduct the initial 1250 lost on the initial wager of the attempted 4 game run.

I truely believe that a solid capper, with extreme patience, who looks for the 4 gems a month, can repeat this 4 consecutive game run attempt AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH.

And you can see by the numbers how much this returns.

My bank deposits for one particular month were 50,000.00 in real winnings cashed in from just one book.

If you think this is silly, just look at the streaks put together on the Covers Streak Survivor Contest... and that's using the limited crappy games they offer, not the gems out there.

It just takes patience and balls of steel. The number are on your side if you are a good capper. One run in thirteen attempts grosses a profit. Multiple successful runs every 13 attempts grosses you a very nice profit. Just one successful run per month would net you a very nice career.

In a 365 day year there are 91 opportunities for a 4 game run if you bet one game per day. Imagine the potential income with this force multiplier.

Using my 550 method if you get 12 successful 4 consecutive game runs outta 91 attempts in a year at one game per day, you gross 87,670.08 in winnings. The 79 failed attempts cost you 43,450.00 (550 per failed attempt) which means you NET 44,220.08 in actual net winnings.

So now you can see how much you can earn with a low winning % of just 12 wins in 91 attempts which comes out to about a 13.186812 winning percentage, far less than the normal 60% for straight wagers. Of course you must win 12 runs in a year and limit losses to only 79 a year by losing no more than once every four days to hit these numbers (so limit youself to one loss in any four day period if a loss occurs by waing for that four day period to end... this is IF you want to play at a one game a day rate). Just make sure to track your wagers YOURSELF.

Of course you can alway win MORE than 12 runs in a year and less that 79 failed attempts.

I personally would NOT make a run attempt by playing every day until I've hit at least one run in the month. Remember the key is patience for game selections. You can scout for gem games months in advance and plan your runs(to be adjusted as the games approach the game dates and lines come out).

I have also done this by betting football on 4 day runs(Fri,Sat,Sun,Mon) and two day runs(Early game, mid-day game, late game and one game the next day). And like I said, I have done this multiple times.

My current unfortunate situation forces me to be more frugal and limits what I can use for stash. You know... the economy, unemployment and bills, bills and more bills.

Your thoughts on this method...?

I like your philosophy RH. Discipline and flat betting is key to winning cash in the long run
