Changing the Game: How to Profit From Your Passion for Sports by a Wall Street Investment Manager Paperback
#1 Laern how to handicap the sport. Get a large note book and write down what you see and look for teams that are winning consistently and losing consistently ....
in short good teams find ways to win bad teams find ways to lose.
in any sport no matter what it is NEVER bet aginst the streaks
in MLB win streaks can go on for 6 or 7 games on average but losing streaks have surppased 10 games or more many times.
recent money burner losing streak was the Mariners 8 game skid and chalked pretty heavy 4 out of last 5 losses
but team now has rveresed and has won 4 straight and 9 out of 11 but from april up until that losing streak your still losing mucho bucks with this sub 500 team
# 2 manage your money always stay within 3% up to %5 of what you have in your account if it's only $200 your max wager for THE DAY not per game is $10 risked thats risking $10 to win $9 on an even money bet or a lined game the standard -110 juice.
Doubling up is never to happen never ;;;;if you havent learned from losses years before than your going to keep losing forever!!!
Learn from your losses make notes see why you lost a bet then you will have solid systems developed over the years because you created them and it was done the real way.
Always expect the performance profile correction to occur on a player or team normally in MLB it's the pitchers.
starters and t relievers are to be handicapped mostly your starter is to be watched..
The profile correction is this ............... take any pitcher his normal ERA is 3.10 but for 2 or 3 starts he played GOD like because the teams he faced off had thier bottom starters and he pitched 22 innings with an 0.90 Era 24 K's no HR's
That next start vs a slightly better team that is only 3 to 5 games under .500 he will get corrected back to normal or worse than normal.
best info ever i saw is here at covers in standings it shows team money with teams in profit and the others with neg. mark like this -1450 which = - 14.50 units..
This works people what the sharps n pros have done for years cannot be beaten if there was a system that worked better they would have developed or started using it.
IF you truly believe you have better system go on over to Vegas or Tahoe or reno for a month min wager is $5 and see how you come out after a month.
The survivor contest here at covers for bases is harder than others because i noticed they only use games with highest juice of -130 0r -131 -132 if that all thats available and when too many players have one side you can't pick that game as i read in the survivor forum.
Also in NHL same thing limited to -130 chalks and you cant use a puck line or RL in either sport not even in the reg cash contest only the ML shows.
another rule NEVER use RL"s in bases it is an opton bet to reduce your chalks price which is simply saying this::: if i lay 1.5 runs my big chalk is even money so i only lose that money.
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm read that again see what you become yes a LOSER your betting on losing LESS money.
Now really stupid is taking runs on a dog say the average dog price is +140 you take 1.5 runs that dog is now chalked
Twins at 5 dimes are +144 but +1.5 runs -150 thats a 94 cent juice swing +44 and - 50 = 94
so for sure you will do this 50 games in a season
just using +140 you just gave away $2000 in wins! Are you now seeing what has happened you just made Vegas fatter and your local bookie pockets bigger.
This is why those Houses in Vegas are bigger than ever because some morons take runs and the damn dog wins any way.
YOUR going to win more flat betting in any sport i guarntee you blow away any system in history being smart.
Learn the sport there are only 30 teams in MLB two leagues that enough to track.
Many teams will go flat or let down after a winning series over hated div. rival as the Phils just did after winning series over Nats got swept by B jays 2 in a row.
Happens in every sport it's also known as trap game.
How many times have you seen the yankess play thier buitss off vs redsox diving in stands to catch foul balls banging into walls fences etc.. win all 3 games and next series vs like maybe the Mariners go kaflunk kaboom and get swept.
OR the NL teams like the Dodgers after doing same thing to GIant play home vs the Marlins and lose every game.
It happens every year and when you figure out that side you have a 100% winner. Forget the point spread or the line it will not matter bet the other side and cash that ticket.
