Keys To Bankroll Management

  • Have a SET AMOUNT, that you can AFFORD to Lose, and NEVER allow yourself to go passed that mark!!

Never OVEREXTEND yourself sports betting, and create UNNECESSARY PROBLEMS in your Life.... Betting on Sports can be VERY ENJOYABLE, and ENTERTAINING, as long as WE don't allow it to get OUT OF HAND!! Having a set amount, that you can AFFORD to lose, and NEVER going over that number will help keep Sport's Betting FUN!!

  • Establish your UNIT size, and STICK TO IT!! You will then be able to vary your bet sizes based off of this mark.... You can't bet the same amount on something that is +2500, as you would something that is -110.

Odds differ for a REASON... Something at +2500 is going to be MUCH TOUGHER to hit than something that is -110!! If you're betting the same amount on both... You'll quickly find yourself BROKE!!

Example: If I bet a FULL UNIT ($100) on the Play that is -110... I'm ONLY going to bet around 25% ($25 OR LESS), of my Normal Unit, on the Play that is +2500

Unit Size will differ for each individual based on your AVAILABLE BANKROLL

  • NEVER put more than 5% of your Bankroll on a single wager!!

Example: If your bankroll is $100... You SHOULDN'T wager MORE THAN $5 on ANY Play!!

  • Don't Bet Just To Bet... Make sure you're wagering on things that you are INFORMED on!! Don't WASTE VALUABLE UNITS, betting on something you have NO CLUE about just because you're bored and want a SWEAT!!

DISCIPLINE is the KEY to Bankroll Management!!

Hope you folks enjoyed this... We'll be putting out more instructional videos like this, on a number of different topics, in the coming days so be on the LOOKOUT!! Feel free to ask us ANY questions you may have, and we'll make sure to get it sorted out for you!!

Everyone stay SAFE out there!!

Good Luck and Good Gamblin!!!!

Mathematical Considerations For Optimising Association Football Entries

In this post I would like to lay out some mathematical foundations for finding the best value on ternary moneyline events, notably association football, which has win lose and draw outcomes. Unlike American sports, where the rare occasion a draw happens it can be absorbed into the +0.5 and -0.5 spreads in assessing your options, the draw has a very significant probability of happening in football to the extent it opens up double chance and draw no bet markets (in which the draw can be significant enough to render both pick'ems unprofitable at the same time, a phenomenon not observed in American sports). This leads directly on to part of the challenge in football betting: the draw can nuke evenly poised spreads since spreads require an edge on one team over the other, so moneylines have to considered to get a full picture of potential value.

Whereas finding an edge on American sports primarily lies in identifying a ...

OFFICIAL PICKS: Dutch Election

Exit polls show it very, very close. They tend to be more accurate in the Netherlands. Hence, recommendation is to SELL both PVV & Global Right Sweep positions at current rates, which is around 40%; ok to sell to 15%. Wouldn't sell below that b/c close enough for a longshot.
