While you all know by now that my allegiance lies with my bankroll, before I knew how to bet on sports, I had a love for one sport in particular as a kid growing up in New Jersey – baseball. My father was always a huge Yankees fan and some of my most precious memories from my youth are watching Yanks games together with him or chatting on the phone after a tough loss about how the manager needed to be fired immediately. Now while I still love the game as a purist, my called profession has shifted my focus towards how to be a winning baseball bettor. Betting baseball, and doing it successfully, is the very definition of a grind. As we all know, MLB has the longest season of any sport and winning over the course of 162 games requires a lot of patience and discipline. Since the birth of the KrackWins App 4 years ago, every MLB season has been a profitable one for our members. Of course, that doesn't mean we don't go through a lot of hot and cold streaks throughout the season, but...

A lot of people dream to become a professional sports bettor and not to punch a clock or have a boss to answer to. 99% of them will fail. Following these simple rules below will help you move in the right direction. #1- Always have an allotted bankroll specifically for sports betting. This is put aside and will be used to build with. #2- NEVER bet more than 3% of your bankroll on any one event. As an example, IF you have a $10,000 bankroll, your biggest wager should be $300. Your bet amount will increase as you bankroll grows. #3- Do a monthly evaluation. Check your bankroll and write out your bad habits that have cost you money. #4- Most of the bets that you make should have an edge. Compare what numbers you are getting to what the closing number is at the sharper books. If you are beating the closing number the majority of the time, then you are on the right track. #5- Never chase or over bet losses...This is probably the #1 reason that most people fail at trying to become a...
While everyone focuses on the massive handle the books take in on the Super Bowl, the wagering during March Madness blows that number away. For decades, corporate-teers have been filling out office pool brackets that cost $5 an entry. While everyone still loves to fill out their brackets, the game has changed. With sports gambling fever at an all-time high and 35 States/Territories open for legal action, there is no question that this year will break records for the March Madness take. This year’s Big Dance will provide one of the most wide open tournaments in history, with as many as 15 teams having realistic shots at cutting down the nets. The Huston Cougars are the betting favorite at present, sitting at 6-1 in most books. They are followed by Alabama, UCLA, Purdue and defending champion Kansas, all who are going off at around 10-1. With 67 games over the course of two and half weeks, there will be plenty of opportunities for advantage plays. Here are some of KrackWins’...

One of the questions I get asked often is why did I start KrackWins? I have always been very leery of “touts” and those who provide betting advice to others. My issue is a simple one: how can you advise someone to make a bet when you yourself...
