I realize that you may already have an account at one of our affiliate sports books prior to joining my site. Or you may have an account at another sports book. Regardless I still ask you to open an additional sports book account from one of the banners above where you are not yet registered and deposit funds. This will ensure you get the best lines possible and help keep the site free.
1) Being Under Capitalized. Do not be disillusioned to think you can make a full time living on a minimal bankroll.
2) Not having enough sports book accounts funded whereby you are not getting the best number available. Betting -1.20 when -1.14 is available is just burning money.
3) Not following proper money management procedures. There is no such thing as a lock in this business. However risking more than 2% of your bankroll on a game will guarantee you will not be around long term.
Do not be worried about betting against public opinion. Look for over and under reactions to recent games. Be a contrarian in this business that is where you find the value and the money.
Do not play catch up “chasing” by increasing your wagers when losing.
What you save is what you earn. Shop! Shop! Shop! Have a minimum of 3 sports book accounts to ensure you get the best lines possible regardless of the size of your bets. Everything is relative.
With the MLB season 4 days away we will continue our discussion on how to have a profitable season.
There is a sweet spot in MLB lines from -1.40-1.80 where the public is hesitant to lay the juice. Making picks in this range where appropriate is a common place to find value. In this area you find undervalued favorites which sometimes should be priced -2.00-2.50.
A pitcher who does not get strikeouts and/or ground balls is subject to big innings.
