Hey Guys –
First of all, let me say thanks for following along. I know that I get annoying at times with all of my “join, join, join” etc. and I certainly get it. Thanks for the support and as long as you follow along, if there’s anything I can do to help anyone, please let me know. I’m just an email away & try to respond quickly and honestly.
I wanted to start dropping some information on now only my philosophy, but also help educate people from experiences I’ve had; both positive and negative in regards to the sports “market”.
Someone just asked me earlier today if they sign up for my services, if the prices include ALL picks or just “some picks” and if you wanted my MILLION DOLLAR LOCK OF THE MILLENIUM that would be $50 extra. Someone else tweets me that they’re getting scammed by people who lie on their records, stop sending plays, etc. And of course we have some of the biggest names in this business who block people when asked honest questions by people who sign up under the pretense of WINNING each and every day…then sign up, pay OVER $1,000 for an annual membership & have LOST money 5-6 weeks in a row.
All of this leads me into our topic…What to Expect as a Sports Bettor!
I can tell you from PERSONAL experience that I’ve WON thousands in one day and lost just as much. After trials and tribulations, the ONLY thing that keeps me prosperous in this racket is DISCIPLINE, money-management, and patience. That’s one thing I constantly preach to clients and I genuinely want to see people make $$$$ (regardless of whether you’re part of my service or not). We are taught to be happy with a 10-15% ROI on stocks, and in the sports business, we can EASILY achieve 50%, 100%, 300%, etc. But it takes time, discipline and patience. Treat sports betting as a business, and it WILL pay like one, I promise you!
Questions I would like to touch on:
- How much do PROFESSIONALS win?
o Okay…let’s break this down. I HAVE to win 55% of the time, assuming 10% juice. A good handicapper will get between 58% and 64% (64% very rare). Anyone who tells you that they’re winning “43-1” type of results is flat out lying. And then there is regression. Have I won 80% for a couple weeks? An entire playoffs? Sure. But regression comes and eventually that percent will be driven down to closer to the mean. At NonStopSportsPicks.com we use a 1,2,3* betting system to weight plays based on confidence, edge, and statistical backing. That has helped us achieve BETTER results in terms of money, while still hitting around 60%. I always tell people go by the general rule: “If it seems too good to be true, it probably is”. If someone tells you they can win 25 days in a row, 90% of the time, RUN…DON’T GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY!
- How do I know about paying for a service?
o I’m not a guy who will name drop, and my concern is WINNING; both for myself and my clients. However, when choosing a service to sign-up for, I suggest due diligence. Find someone who is honest. Who is transparent. Who is responsive. Someone who CARES and VALUES your money. And most of all, find someone who calls it as it is. When I hear things like people going on “hot streaks” and asking for higher membership dues to continue service, it repulses me. There ARE good people in this industry, although it’s few and far between. But we are out there, and you DESERVE to get a service that you pay good money for. Anyone who asks for MORE money….RUN! Anyone who asks for extra to give the “locks of the millennium”….RUN. Let’s face it…there ARE no locks. There are edges, and sometimes the lines are OFF…but then athletes have to perform and there are always a multitude of OTHER factors.
In the end, if you took the time to read this, I would appreciate the feedback to let me know if this is helpful? Would you LIKE to receive more articles from me posted on my website once a week or so? Would you LIKE to learn about something specific? I want EVERYONE to learn and make money…so anything I can answer I am here to do. Shoot me a tweet, email me or use the “Contact Me” tab on the website.
I’m here to ADD value to this industry, NOT cheat people. And anytime I can help, please let me know.
Best of luck,
