There is No Minimum Bankroll for Joe Public, Joe Sharp or anyone. Your current financial status should determine that but it should be something that you can handle comfortably...

Of course if you are investing in Picks Advice, you must incorporate that into your program. 6 Months of Betting advice for $600 at a starting Bankroll of $5000 puts you in the whole by 6 Units at 2% Wagers ($100 to start)

Obvoiusly there are other ways to obtain Free Advice and a small BR most likely will make that the better option..

So if you're a certified square, enjoy the gaming action, when does it become cost effective for Joe Public to use a standard picking service based on your money management principles? What minimum bankroll amount would Joe want to consider, let's say, for the current CFB and NFL season given an average end of season win-loss ratio? (If the average win-loss ratio is typically negative, that would be useful cost data as well.)

Enjoyed the article.

jaybiz, this was written almost 2 years ago. RJ is right, the industry does have a lot of people that are like the above, but a lessor percentage of them because of what he says has happened with forms of communication like the internet..

This Blog was not intended to accomplish anything other than to entertain but there is no doubt, I get many emails from and much direct mail stuff from handicapping services that operate this way..

Long term records, they separate the big boys (Shaker, Hook, Essler, for example) from your local LOUD TALKERS.

Props to Greg for "telling it like it is". Really surprised this got thru the BS filter.

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK GREG!!!!

Greg is right that historically in this business there's been some crazy approaches to selling picks. The great thing about the way the Internet is evolving is such approaches are less and less effective - while approaches built on quality information are more and more effective. That's exciting.

The fact is that every Pro goes about his business in a different fashion. Some Pros are similar to others - some are very different. But that shouldn't matter as long as the Pro is producing quality content and helping his followers enjoy sports betting. In the past some Pros felt a need to establish that their approach was superior - but in truth any such talk is nothing more than a distraction from what really matters. Pros who focus on the Pregame.com will be very successful - and those who spend time on distractions will be less so.

More power to you all,

If I ever grow up to be a great bettor, the last thing I would do is sell picks.

The very next thing I would do after saying or writing GOY, would be to make sure I have shoved the shot gun as far back into my mouth as I can! LoL

Good Article Greg, awsome.

Cheers,
