Today’s gambling world is more out in the open now than it has ever been. These days casinos are allowing people to film table games and machines. These videos are now all over social media, showing big wins on the roulette table or large blackjack winning hands or big slot machine payouts. In the sports betting world you have big parlay winners being posted each week, giving the younger generation of gamblers false hope of hitting 6 figures on a $20 bet. Add in the Matress Mack’s and Dave Portnoys of the world, making big public bets that are -EV and not ever mentioning their losing tickets. So many people who are just being introduced to gambling are getting the wrong idea. This is not easy!!! Advantage gambling is a long term disciplined process. It isn’t a get rich quick kind of deal. Chances are that you aren’t going to change your life with just one bet. Professional Sports betting for a profit is a full time long term grind. Don’t be fooled by social media!!!
I wanted to give a couple quick sports betting tips this week, that can help you increase your advantage against the sportsbooks. Some of these I’ve said 1000 times, but it never hurts to push these again to make sure this new generation understands what it takes to be successful at this.
Sports Betting Picks Weekly Recap
1) USE MULTIPLE OUTS
This is the most obvious one that I stress over and over, but still have many followers and subscribers who don’t follow it. You should be using as many sportsbooks as you can. You need to line shop each play and find the best line available to you. Yes this will take more time for each play, but over the course of a season this can turn you from a losing bettor to a winning bettor.
2) DO NOT OVERBET YOUR BANKROLL
Each person should have a bankroll for Sports Betting that’s set aside from all other money. Each bet you make will be a % of that bankroll you have set aside for sports betting only. Your average bet should be around 1%. Do not go higher than 3% on any play. You will see a lot of Touts and content creators quoting “20 unit plays”. A unit should equal 1% of your BR, anyone who claims to be making 20% plays will not last in this industry.
3) STAY AWAY FROM PARLAYS
Sportsbooks make the most profit from losing parlays. It’s that simple, the numbers just don’t add up. While it maybe fun to throw a tiny $5 6 team parlay together every once in awhile, this should not be a regular thing and should not be counted on to build up your bankroll. While some pros will actually play correlated parlays, it’s best for the general public to totally stay away from any kind of parlays.
Now let’s recap these last two weeks…
MLB remained hot as we are into the full grind on the diamond. Last week we went 14-5-3 for a +8.1 unit profit! We are firing away on totals, sides, and have been very successful so far this season with our Player Props. NBA moves into the Finals this week, with the Celtics a big favorite to beat the Mavericks. Last two weeks we went 5-4 (+.6u) in the NBA Conference Finals. We lost a little on our other sports as WNBA went 1-2 (-1.7u), UFL lost its only play (0-1, -1.1u) and College Baseball finished the first round 2-3, -1.8 units.
Overall the last two weeks we finished 22-15-3 for a profit of +4.1 units. This is my favorite part of the summer grind. We will be firing away on the NBA Finals Props and the College Baseball World Series these next two weeks and the MLB, PGA, and WNBA are in their hearts of the season. Join the summer grind with us now!!!
