What about "Always bet on black?"

[BigdaddyQH]

Follow a successful sports bettor/company? Boy do you have a lot to learn. I can not even tell you how stupid that statement is. Obviously you are too young, too inexperienced, and too lazy to do the work yourself. Money management is always a good idea. Reinvesting in your sports book just shows how much you have lost, because you should NEVER have to reinvest in your sports book. Nice try rookie, but come back when you have grown up and know something about this business.

wow pretty good argument between the rookie and experince lol

thanks for the heads up going to read and work hard at it for more info on this business

[wesleysnipes]

First off im not a rookie, and the reason you invest more money, is to make more money. If you just have 200 dollars to work with. It'll take you a long time to build it up. You have to continue to reinvest just as in any business. It is foolish to do the work yourself, because there are many sports handicappers that know more than you. This business is pretty tough. Many dont make money with it. It is a saying that says your're better off being a Hollywood tv star vs being a successful sports bettor. It is ****in hard to be a successful actor/singer, not times that by 1,000- and that's what it takes to be a successful sports bettor. You have to follow someone who is successful with it, which that's one out of a million. You have to use money management- 2 percent per game- which many want to get rich quick- so that's far from the picture. You have to be disciplined/patient- when you have that losing day, or losing week, hell- even losing month. It's gonna happen, but if you have self control, and bet the right way you'll always profit more than you lose. These are tough strategies, but they can be accomplished. You are very ignorant of your comments sir. You have a lot to learn- as far as what it takes to be successful. Life is life. And more money- means better life. Get serious, and make money!!!! Bye.

hey wesley do you handicap your own games?

[whatsgood5]

I actually agree with this guy. That being said, I rarely follow sports services picks. Id rather lose my own money, that have someone lose it for me.

[Power Play]

my only problem is who can you trust? i mean do those services really want you to win? most them have deals with sportsbooks so it's counterproductive for them to win big. also if they want to make money capping it is 90 percent marketing. so why would they try their best if they're paid anyways plus it works better to sell their gimmick through marketing.

[wesleysnipes]

No i dont handicap my own games. I follow one handicapper as of now- kelso sturgeon. If you were betting 2 % per game for the month of february-you would have around a 15 % return on your investment. It would take 15 yrs to do that at a bank. So is it worth it. Hell yeah, he is one of the most consistent cappers on the internet, and probaly the most consistent. Sure he has losing days/weeks/ even months- but over the long-term you'll profit.

[Power Play]

if i find a handicapper that wins over 55 percent EVERY season in a sport/ or one that guarantees 55 percent or they would PAY you considerable compensation (more than you pay for the service) i would proabably take it even if it charges thousands. handicapping is a shady buisness for the most part.

[blix177]

I agree that if you find a successful cappers you should follow him. But one thing I notice is there isn't many successful cappers. I see post of 10-3, 20-10, but where are the cappers that are doing 1000-760, or 3000-2500? You just don't fine them. and if your capper caps everyday, and can find 3-10 teams a day, i would think he is too loose. Of course there are real successful ones like Ras Total, but even those are very limited as they move the line within 30 sec of giving out their pick.

Money management is a great point, but I don't agree with 2-3% of your bankroll. That number is just ambiguous. If you find an arb line +100/+110, why not risk your who bankroll?

[maersksealand]

Money management is very important, maybe the most important. I will say patience matters also...being able to wait for the right game. Most people here, sadly including myself, are compulsive bettors. But as long as you mange your money you still have a chance.
Greed is another negative factor.

Chasing it the worse thing you can do. If you lose for the day, move on to the next day if you feel you have a advantage on a game. If not, move to the next day. I sometimes go 6 to 7 days without a bet. You are right, patience is a big part, along with money management. If I can squeak out 5% to 15% a month on my bankroll, I will be happy.

[THE PROFIT]

This is an age old question about sports services, do they want you to win. This is actually something I have studied & that has interested me for over 15 years, since the first time I paid someone for their opinion. Do stockbrokers really want your investments to yield a return? It's the same thing.

I feel for the most part capping services want to give out winners, but they just can't because no one can predict the future. If people could predict the future there would be no worries in the world, but we have to speculate. Now there are some shady cappers out there that charge outrageous amounts or are just looking for the one time sale. The boiler rooms where they give half the clients one side of the game & the other half the other side do still exist. It's good short term business strategy for a slimeball. If you give 50 people a winner they think you're great & will buy the next day, the other 50 get a loser & now think you owe them a winner & you can coax them in deeper. No one is more gullible than a desperate degenerate down a few thousand, and that's 90% of the clientele these guys deal with.

Some so called professional cappers are horrible & I don't know how they are in business or ever got started. Lang, Malinsky, Feiner, these guys and 10,000 more just suck. They don't handicap, they flip a coin & hope for the best. Anyone who would pay them money needs a mental evaluation & their bookie should feel bad for taking money from them because there's some laws pertaining to taking advantage of the mentally handicapped, I know, I am a certified life & health insurance agent & there's a load of that crap in insurance laws. A degenerates mind is a fuked up mess & he will pay anybody to help him lose. Losing becomes a mindset & these scumbag services thrive off of it.

Now, you say these cappers have deals with books so they want you to lose. I disagree and here's why. A capping service is selling you a service, their educated guess. You have to take their product they sold you and use it at a book, that's the only place it has any value. So it's just good marketing sense for them to co-market with books & drive business to each other. The book is not afraid of taking your action if you are referred by a capper hitting 80% because they know YOU will not hit 80%
I could give 3 winners everyday for a solid year documented & be the greatest capper to ever fall out of a womb. I could personally call up 5dimes & say "Hey, this is the profit, you know, the guy that picks 3 winners everyday for a whole year, never missed, & I'm gonna put Bill here on the line. Bill is paying me for my 3 picks daily & needs a book to play them at!"
5dimes is gonna sign Bill up & even give him a big deposit bonus! Why??? Because they know human psychology better than any doctor or professor. They know Bill is gonna play my 3 picks & most likely hit, but when he gets a little bankroll going he's gonna start betting bigger, then he's gonna want more than my 3 games, he's gotta have action! All my games are at 12:00, WTF is he supposed to do from 2:00 on? Bill likes about 4 games at 4:00 and a couple at 7, so he puts a little on them. Sunday my 3 games are 1:00 NFL winners, what about 4:00 & the late game & MNF? He has a bankroll built up now so why not play 4 or 5 of them. Then to get the money back he's losing on his picks he doubles up on mine, then I go on a cool streak!!! But I've been hitting like crazy surely I'll get back on track I had 2 losers yesterday so these 3 are money, lets double up again. Next thing you know Bills roll is depleted & everyone has made money except poor ol' Bill!

The books know that 90% of gamblers are just that, gamblers, not investors & they know their long term tendencies. They will gladly take in a dollar from a million people and pay out $100,000 to one guy.

[1st and Ten]
