You would not believe the number of bettors that would rather risk losing a bet made on their own opinion than win a bet, relying on someone else’s information. In fact, I have people close to me who have spent decades losing, seen my consistent success for year and years, and will still bet their opinion over mine.

This past week’s Monday Night Football matchups between the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals was one of the most anticipated games of the year. Two Super Bowl contenders battling in Prime Time for a possible #1 seed in the AFC. Of course we all know by now that none of that mattered when Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field in the first quarter. No matter how much fans are invested in their teams, sport are just a game played by regular (very athletic) human beings.

I don’t make a decision based on the absence of other options. It may or may not come back to bite you, but it’s never an advantage play. So many people make silly, unnecessary bets over the holidays because of limited action. Not surprisingly, they dent the bankroll that they worked all year to build. If you’ve noticed, as the available games reduce, so do the Krackwins plays. We NEVER give out a play just so that our users have action. 

Christmas is right around the corner for most, but for me and KrackWins Nation, College basketball and the full board it brings every night is the best gift we can ask Santa for. Last week our NCAA Basketball went 13-4 for a 16.8 unit profit!  While the board will be a little lighter this week as colleges head into exams and winter break, I couldn’t be more happy with the start to the college hoops season and am ready to roll into 2023 with the start of Conference play. 

I could not be more excited to announce the release of the new and improved KrackWins App 2.0. If you have yet to do so, head over to the Apple App Store or Google Play and update your KrackWins App. They say it takes a village… and that is certainly true here. My team has put in countless days and long nights to not only develop the app, but continue to improve it in order to offer our users the best experience possible.

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.
