Prison Sports Bookie Becomes Handicapper?

I was just recently released from prison. I've done over 14 years. The reason I tell you this, is because i've done nothing but watch and gamble on sports 24/7 - 365 - times those 14 years. Some may know this, some may not. But sports is a major thing in prison. Every prison you go to will have three or four par-lay tickets. The way it's done in prison, is tickets are wrote out with the games for that day (NFL, NCAAM, NCAAF, NBA) and then passed out to "runners" in each building on the compound. Then the runner takes the bets, gets 20%, and gives the stubs to whoever is running the ticket. The big difference though, is that the odds are completely different and a 4 pick par-lay is the lowest available.

But you want to hear something crazy? Not only do you have to pick 4, the odds are lower. A $5 four pick multiplies by 10. So 5$ will only get you 50 and that includes the five dollars you bet in the first place. The odds go, 4/10 . 5/15 . 6/20. Some tickets like mine do teasers, a 7 pick THREE point teaser will net you X 13. $1 gets you $13. I tell you most of this before I get to my point, because some people may just be interested. In one prison, there are several tickets. So you have to compete by changing the vegas point spread. You have to give them a reason to play. One of my best move was making the Alabama/Clemson a pick em in 2018. The majority of the people get the line of the phone, and worship it. So if the Utah Jazz is favored by 10, and you think they're going to cover, you make the line 13 or 14 in order to force them the other way.

I say all that to say this - I ran my own ticket for the past 7 years. - I've been picking four-game tickets for 14 years in order to win. When they legalized gambling, and I found out that I only have to pick one, two, or three - it made me feel like i've been shooting free throws from the half-court line all my life, and someone finally showed me where the free throw line actually is. When they first legalized sports gambling in 2018, I called home and told everyone that for the first time in my life I feel as if I have a chance at making some real money. I was released four days ago.

 Nothing but the best in your direction..may you prosper my brother...

interesting read, keep the forum posted as to your disposition, and picks.

This is the second part of that message.  It wouldn't let me pick it first.

I'm asking advice on how to tap into the business of selling picks. I see these people on YouTube giving out losers every day. I download these betting apps, they're giving out losers. It seems to me that the real skill set needed is the ability to gather information, present it in a way that sounds believable, and feed it to the public. People just want to hear something that sounds good. I get that. But I can actually give out winners.

I'm not fucking perfect, i'm not a fortune teller. But I understand the rhythm of the seasons. I watch what is going on. If all you need is 60% to be a "sports expert" - I can make it there. Plus I can only get better, now that I have the internet. Yes, thats right - I've never even had the internet. My internet was the bottom line on ESPN. And we only get one ESPN. No ACC Network. No MLB Network. Just ESPN. I'm so sick of seeing Kendrick Perkins I could puke.  I love Elle Duncan.

My point is, the only one way to go up. I'm looking for mentors. I'm looking for advice. I don't necessarily agree with the "PAR-LAYS ARE THE DEVIL" philosophy. I do pretty well picking two and three picks. My philosophy is, if you get 4 out of 6 right in two-pick par-lays, you come ahead.  If you can hit 2 out of every 13 four-picks, you double your money.  I can't make myself bet 15 dollars to win ten, I have to mix it and try to at least double my money.  But that is what I feel, I'm not saying that my way is better.

I plan on dedicating my life to this thing. Sports is all I care about. I just recently made a Twitter account, i'm giving out free picks on there and giving out picks in the comment sections of every YouTube show I see.  I'll start making my own videos this morning.  I'm getting organized.  I won't give the names, because I don't know how this site is about advertising and I don't want to be banned from the forum.

Reach out to me. I love this site.  I look forward to being with the community and I am welcoming anything anyone has to say.

Rest in peace Mac Miller.

@JohnnyEveryday  Knock, and the door shall be opened.

 Forget about selling picks, touting yourself out, just wager on your own handicaps...the rest is nothing more than bullshit.

WIN on Covers Betting Forum's, and you'll receive the global recognition that you seek. You'll get nowhere on Twitter, til' you have credentials..

WIN my brother, it's really that simple, just WIN, that's all it takes, that's all it has ever taken...WIN

@sports_Network

 How do you win on Covers ForuM?

Just simply post your winning NFL sides with the P/S and unit amounts or your bankroll % on each game you like on the NFL forum....the reason you like those games are optional but always nice to see what is in a bettors head of why he likes that game.

Also join the NFL + other sports handicapping contest for free + win 3500 dollars i think if you win the full season contest.

Like the guy said before me just pick winners + prove it by posting them....you will be lauded for that + have a faithful following also.

GL

if your % is good, id really just stick to single bet tickets. if you like 4 games, 4 tickets. its the only way to make money consistently.
