Stay Away from Parlays

For many people parlay betting on the point spread is extremely attractive because of the nice take back. Typically, a $100 bet on a two team parlay will bring in $260 (plus you get your original $100 back if you win. As an example you might take Duke -7 and Stanford -5. Parlays always require two or more bets and all the teams have to beat the pointspead for you to win. Parlays account for 10% of betting, but the sportsbooks make about 30% of their profit from their parlay bettors.

Statistically You need to win about 33% of your parlay bets to make money. Yet, only 25% of 2 team parlay bets win. The odds get much worse if you do parlays involving 3 or more teams. Surely you will win some of your bets just like occasionally slot players will win the jackpot.

However, over the long term betting parlays is not a good proposition.

It Works If You Work It.

Merry Christmas Everyone,
I'm in a food coma right now. First of all, I want to thank Santa for giving us a 2W-0L start today as we won the first half of both the Boston vs Orlando and Miami vs. the Lakers.
I've talked to a lot of you recently and know that some people for various reasons are not making all of the plays. This blog might seem repetitive since I wrote about the same topic recently.
I understand that life gets in the way and that some people get gun shy if we have a couple of losing days in a row. But winning streaks and losing streaks are unpredictable. That is why I always emphasize to stay the course and make all of the plays. Your use of proper money management is crucial. Always bet the same amount on each game (flat bet)
Sometimes skipping plays will work in your favor if we have a losing day, etc. However, over the long term, our way of betting works. I just encourage you to make all the plays. You all have seen a tough run followed by an outstanding run. Treat your sports betting as an investment vehicle.

Happy Holidays,
George

35 College Bowl Games Coming Up

College Bowl Season is one of the most exciting times a year. While you cannot discount what happened during the regular season, bowl games are simply different. The key to making money our way is to determine which underdogs want it more and play the 1st half money lines underdogs.

We want to look for teams that are excited and motivated to be in the game. We will make a lot of money if we go against teams that although they are in a bowl, might be a little dissapointed in which bowl they are playing in.

Tune in for a lot of action.

If you want to subscribe to our bowl season special, just contact me at 703-217-0805 or e-mail gak555@yahoo.com Regular subscribers will already be receiving these plays.

Regards,

George

Stick to the Plan

Good Morning,
First thing I want to do is address this weekend's results. Saturday we went
0W-3L and lost 3 units. Sunday we went 4W-1L and won 5.15 units. Based on the feedback I received Saturday evening, I am convinced that a number of players are either, picking and choosing their plays or are not managing their money properly by betting 3-4% per play

This is a long term investment proposition and we will have ups and downs. Over all we will make a lot of money. A bad streak is part of what happens. Please stick to the money management principles and make all of the plays even if we have a bad day or week.

There is a natural tendency to sit on the sidelines after a tough day or in some cases to double up or increase the bet size to make up for a bad day

What we do will make money. Some of you have to stop thinking about this venture as gambling and start looking it as investing. We never know when we are going th have that huge month that will quickly wipe out any temporararily losses.
