Betting better numbers than Matchbook's .01 line.

Clownpuncher. Just as a heads up, there is no such thing as a good "system". All new handicappers start thinking there are systems that will guarantee profit like "bet the home team to avoid the sweep". But the reality is that there is no such thing, and far more important, don't believe anyone who says that there is.

If there was a fool proof system like that, the market would adjust over time and it would disappear. Save yourself the time and money.

Take this from someone who spent about two years out of college trying to find them, they don't exist, and the sooner you move towards real handicapping the more money you will save.

^ Spar, at least you said it politely.

I posted something similar to that a while ago on 2+2 and had a guy ream me out saying I'll never become a sports better because I want a get-rich-quick scheme. All I asked was if you bet on solid teams that are getting points on the MLB spread (+150 at home or something for example with a just under .500 team etc.)

Glad to see the forums here are much more laid back.
