Again, my apologies as I totally forget to update this blog more frequently. Well, the month of August has certainly been good to us. Units are accumulating and we are zeroing in on our +40 unit goal for the season. For a 30 day period in June and July, I went thru a terrible streak…my worst streak ever as a handicapper. But as a colleague told me….it is all part of the game and every single pro handicapper goes thru it over their career. The key was to bounce back and I did just that. I actually was up +30 units at one point, then fell all the way down into single digits. However, like good handicappers do…I stayed the course and truly believed that my handicapping models and style would eventually accumulate units. As of today, I stand at +27.7 Units for the baseball season. By far my worst season yet. However, if I do get to +40 units for the season, which is a goal I set at the All Star Break when things were not looking good at all, I will be happy and the reason for that is 95% of the handicappers out there would absolutely love to show a +40 unit profit over the course of a baseball season.
Football is here…finally! I do not dig in much during the preseason, because I feel that it is too much of a crapshoot. However, there will be times when the books will over or under value teams and totals and when they do, we will respond by making them pay.
In football, I really dont get into a lot of stats like I do with baseball or basketball. To me, the football linemaker tells a story with the number they send out. All I do after the games complete on Sundays is to make a list for the following week on teams that I believe will be over valued and under valued. If there is a situation where an over valued team plays an under valued team, I will then cap that game vigorously. Also, keep this in mind for the football season both college and pro: If I think the favorite is being undervalued, I will normally make my selection on that team when the line opens. If I think the Underdog is being undervalued, I will likely not make my selection until the day of the game. So, unlike baseball, when I try to post my selections the night before the games, football is a different story because you are dealing with point spreads and line movements.
To all of my clients, thank you for sticking with me thru the good and the bad. I have always said and will always say that investing in sports betting is long term. Keep managing your bankrolls properly and DO NOT stray off course. Be diligent in this area! If you do this, you cannot help but make money.
Have a wonderful and safe weekend !
