Online Betting

I get allot of calls some are my clients just wanting to rap about the play the results from the day before and all that jazz others are members looking for clarification on a play they just bought how to bet it etc and others are looking for that BIG PLAY. Something they can really hit hard.

I have a couple standard answers to that question and one that almost always surprises them. The First of course is who have they been playing and how have they done for them. If the capper they have been buying has been getting the job done I always ask why they would jump ship or go big game hunting. Now dont get me wrong If there is a big big game posted by a capper it may be worth your while to take a good hard look but if your on a winning program your playing with fire moving about.

Its the classic Vegas Trap that has a player winning beating the house who then starts pressing his bets or playing two hands or switching games... This is what Vegas is built on the distraction and lure of more...It usually ends up with that same player busting out. Advantage: House - This same idea applies to sportsbooks. You can have a winning season with one handicapper see a big game posted lay 23 or 5 times what you would normally bet and if that game loses you have now just given back all the money you made on the season or maybe a big part of it but the end result is the same. Hell your regular pro may have even been on the other side and had you stuck with the plan you would have chalked up another win and padded your bankroll a bit more.

The other thing that usually catches them off guard and one that always surprises me is when one of my own clients calls in starts rapping about the days plays and I ask him what line or number he got on the WNBA Game I just posted and they respond that they dont bet the WNBA either because their local guy doesnt do WNBA or if its a total his guy doesnt do totals WTF??? I am hitting 60%+ in the WNBA this season and at +1139 meaning that had you bet just 100 on each of the games I have released this season you would be up $1139.00 you can do the math for nickel and dime bets but the bottom line is there is no excuse to miss the great opportunities these so called fringe sports offer.

Getting the best line and or number is half the battle so if your local guy or online sportsbook does not cover these sports give me a call at 1.888.435.2350 and I will find you a book that does and I will also find you the best line out there. Thats a big part of my job! Its critical to not only find the best lines but be on at least the same ones I or another handicapper releases or better or at least find out from your guy if you are getting a different number if it is still a good bet. They usually are as variations are not usually that great but due diligence is always required. So next time you get a hot tip on a fringe sport do not just ignore it because you dont watch follow or play them as you are just limiting your earning potential and that my friends in not the name of the game. Advantage: Sportsbook if you limit yourself but it can easily swing your way if you keep all avenues open and play with a purpose and a plan a money management strategy and a betting strategy and the advantage will be yours!
