One of the most popular terms that has entered every sports fan’s vernacular since gambling took off is “Bad Beat.” If you follow me and my mantras, you could guess that I have never really been a fan of the term or what it connotes. I learned long ago that in order to become a successful sports bettor over the long term, you can’t focus on one game, one loss, one play that screwed you, etc. Doing that adds a level of emotion to sports betting that I always try to avoid.
It’s easy to lose yourself in this business. The calendar keeps flipping and the grind never takes a day off. There is always another game, another line to analyze. Once the confetti hits the ground celebrating a champion in one sport, another sport is set to begin. This week marks the last real regular season games before conference championship games and then, one of my sweet spots for making money, the bowl season.
The holiday season in college basketball is filled with pre-conference tournaments in places like the Bahamas and Hawaii. Time at home with food and family means hoops all day on the TV and action everywhere from morning to night. The only way to win is through discipline and following proven methods like the once we preach.
As we enter the winter season, we say good bye to the Major League Baseball grind and hello to the College Basketball season. As I have said plenty of times before, NCAA Basketball is my favorite sport to bet on with the most opportunities.
The Fall Classic has been just that so far as the 107 win Astros and the underdog Phillies seem destined to go the distance. No matter who comes out on top, baseball closes shop until next Spring. But you won’t see any tears shed here as the goodbye to baseball means it’s time to say hello to a sport that fills the board (and my heart) with joy.
Everyone has their favorite season. Most kids love the summer – school break, swimming pools and road trips. Some love the winter – holiday feast and cheer. For me, I’ve always loved the fall. Is it the change of seasons? The autumn foliage? Hell no. It’s the full board of course. The world of sports betting has entered its zenith with NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, PGA, and NCAA Football all in swing. And….drumroll please….In two weeks, the board adds what has to be my most profitable sport in decades of betting professionally – College Basketball.
We have reached the total sports betting equinox. This week we have had NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL all going at the same time! It’s very easy to get overwhelmed with the board always full and volume rising. The most important thing I tell my followers and subscribers each week is to stay within my bankroll guide and never bet more than 3% of your BR on one play. It sounds easy, but I have come across plenty of people that can lose on a 7-3 day. Now it is even harder to show discipline with so many opportunities at our finger tips.
With all the new states coming on line and all the new sportbooks to choose from, it is easy for a new sports bettor to get overwhelmed. Not only are there many books to choose from, but within those books there are hundreds of options on which to place a wager. In today’s mobile age, your next sports bet is always just a click away.
Post 4th of July and Pre Labor Day is really the heart of the Summer. Families take their vacations, the temperature rises, and the sports world becomes a bit quirky. Baseball takes it only break of the year for the All Star festivities – this year at Dodger Stadium in LA. Should be electric. The biggest events in sports aren’t even in this country as Wimbledon and the British Open take place across the pond. All 30 NBA Teams are in Las Vegas for the increasingly popular Summer League. And all the while…in the distance, everyone is waiting for the behemoth of NFL Football as training camps are right around the corner.
Anyone who tells you they have the sports betting game figured out, don’t buy it for a second. I have been doing this professionally for nearly three decades and I continue to learn every day. One of the most important lessons I have learned is that no matter how skilled you become as a handicapper, you will always have good and bad runs. The key is to put yourself in the best position possible before the game/event starts and then let the chips fall where they may. Last week heading into the NBA Draft was a perfect example of that methodology.
As the Golden State Warriors celebrated their fourth championship in the last eight years, many believed that the “slow season” for sports action had officially begun. As our members know, that is far from the case at KrackWins. The NBA season may be over, but we continue to cover the board to find advantages all summer long on PGA, NASCAR, MLB, WNBA, College Baseball and more.
We’re only one show away from our 100th episode! To celebrate, we’ve got a jam-packed episode of Wise Kracks for you!
We break down the PGA Tour and the LIV Golf Invitational Series and discuss why golfers are starting to flock to LIV and if it’s a long-term play.
