Sorry for disappearing for so long!

Hi Everyone,

My apologies for not updatting the blog coz as I've mentioned in previous posts before, that I am carving out something really exciting.

In the past I've found NBA and baseball betting systems that can tilt your bet winning percentage all the way to something between 80% - 90%, literally giving you another stream of residual income. What I am currently working on is fine tuning the system which I've applied on Asian Handicap soccer/football betting over the years.

The system's served me these while, there were a lot of up and downs, but thankfully more ups than downs. A few months back I started working on the statistics on the odds given for individual matches, and am really excited about the breakthrough which I've made on it.

Right now, it gives me about 70% net win for every round of bet per match day and it's all getting really exciting. I am planning to give out free tips based on this system as I continue to work on them, and if you'd like to have them at no obligation, then leave a comment on my post with your email address.

Finally, it's great to be back again working on this blog. Just a note, the previous posts titled "Quick Sports Betting Tips" has literally struck jackpot the entire duration when I didn't update the blog. The traffic here's relatively fair , and I certainly hope you guys picked those tips up on the way out and applied to nick some tidy profits over the past few weeks.

Like I've always said, sports betting is the bookie's foolproof way of earning money from the "think-I-know-it-all" sports fans, therefore, it can be hugely rewarding for those who just put in an extra bit of effort like me. Check this out if you don't believe there are guys who's made it from sports betting.

Till the next post, have a safe betting weekend.

Quick Sports Betting Cash Tips #2 - Live Betting

There is actually a pretty risk-free place to make some quick money from sports betting, by saying them I am not drawing you into some scams or buying ridiculous ebooks. Instead, I want to highlight to you the importance of minimizing your betting risk with live-betting.

In my understanding, there're not many bookies out there who offer in-running live bets. The reason why bookies don't offer in-running betting is because this is essentially a second chance for punters to hit safety. I don't know if you've played blackjack at casinos before, but there's an option called insurance that gives you a way out of a bad hand, live betting in sports is exactly the same.

If you took a team that's not doing so well at the early stages, you can actually exit the match with a small loss on the vigourish by counter betting straight away. This is just one of the simplest and most effective way for you to exit a match that you are not 100% sure it's through live betting.

There are actually quick money to be made through live betting, just that you need to know how to play around the rules. I will continue to release some information over the next couple of posts, so just make sure you stay tuned!

Quick Sports Betting Cash Tips#1 - English Premier League

The one strategy which I've been keeping tabs over the last 3 seasons of English Premier League can indeed flip some short term, fast cash in soccer betting.

This strategy is extremely simple, and the application is so foolproof that it takes less than 10 minutes of your time per match day.

Betting on the asian handicap, look out for the 2 to 3 games on live telecast and get ready to put in the wager. There are 3 simple rules to this theory:

Rule #1 - Always take the home team regardless of the handicap
Rule #2 - Stop once you've made your money
Rule #3 - Only bet on matches that happen one after another, not concurrently.

I call this strategy the minimal martingle, which involves some doubling up. If you wanna attempt this I suggest you work out how heavy a stake you want to place before going ahead. BEING GREEDY CAN KILL YOU WITH THIS THEORY! Therefore, always divide out your stakes proportionately instead of being greedy and placing according to how much you want to win.

Usually on Saturdays there are 3 matches one after another, so place 1 unit of wager on the early kick off game, on the home team of course. If you win, stop right there. If you lost, double up on the home team of the next game. YOU SHOULD ONLY BET ON THE LIVE MATCHES.

This tactic demands a lot on your betting discipline, if you don't protect your winnings you can be in for a really unpleasant surprise. I applied this for the past two season and I only lost about 20% of the times, making about 30% - 40% of profits (because it requires doubling up, so when I lost, the amount can be quite staggering).

One fact that may interest you is, the likelihood of the home team in the first live game overcoming the handicap is something between 40% to 50%. Meaning, rougly once in every two games, you'd be able to take your winnings from the very first game of the day's fixture!

Quick Sports Betting Cash

I am actually quite against myself doing this post but I've received some emails from readers asking me for ways to make some fast cash from sport betting. If you have been reading this blog since I started it a couple of days ago, you will know that I am a firm believer of consistent profit than fast cash. However, I suppose since sports betting is an element of gambling, there's no way that I can run away from people asking me for FAST CASH.

Some disclaimers first, while there are some people out there who specializes in guerilla gambling on poker, roulette, blackjack etc, in all my 8 years I still haven't met any profitable sports bettor who can just go in, steal and leave for the whole season. The sports seasons are long and hard, and going in to "steal" the cash and bouncing back between losses usually take a few days and weeks as compared to seconds on the poker table. Thus, when I say "fast cash" I am talking about cashing out probably over a 2 weeks period.

Also, because the method of moving in and out quickly on sports betting differs significantly from my usual tactics, I do not guarantee its effectiveness. Therefore, instead of giving out straight NBA tips for example, I think I will instead modify some of my systems a little bit and publish the conditions to fulfil here.

If it makes sense, then go ahead and apply those strategies. If they don't, don't bet on it. Regardless of my uncertainty, I will still try to derive some of the most appropriate methods possible. Once again, I do not encourage betting with short-term profits in mind, so don't bet your house on it!

Following Up On The Previous Post...

Just to do a little bit of follow-up on the previous post - Caution! Don't Overlook The Handicap/Spread, I forgot to mention about how the switch from the sports fan mentality can accelerate your betting profit.

When I first started betting on sports, I chose to concentrate fully on the Asian Handicap aspect of soccer betting given that I am a huge fan. I lost close to 80% of my bets because I simply got stuck in the cycle of pre-determining results according to my knowledge of the game. Once I made the change in my mentality, I immediately minimized my losses by 20-30%, and of course from there it is easy to start making the jump to profits. However, I think it took me something like 3-4 years to actually put my sports fan mentality behind me because just when you thought you've gotten rid of it, it creeps back into your mind and you don't realize what you've done wrong until the losses stack up again.

In contrast my foray into NBA betting was a much smoother path, particularly because I don't follow the sport very intensively. Therefore, when I first started betting on NBA I discovered that while I don't know as much about the game, I also didn't lose as significantly. Once I manage to keep the percentage of losses low, it's all pretty easy after that because I am already conditioned properly in my mind, and like I've mentioned before from then on you just need to find a few winning systemsto really profit big.

Caution! Don't Overlook The Spread/Handicap

A common mistake many of us made when we first started with sports betting is not knowing how to separate our judgements from the reality of the sports which we bet on.

To go into more details, what I am emphasizing here is that when we follow the sports for awhile, we always have a pre-fixed mentality about teams. For example, as a football/soccer fan I naturally think that Manchester United is a good team that can win matches easily, and that will subconsciously make me want to place my bets on them and the conclusion which I drew about them on their actual performance will justify decisions to give away handicap for their matches. In other words, I am actually judging the bet from a soccer fan's point of view than a sports bettor.

Using Man U as an example, let's take a look at their performances this season on both the handicap front as well as their actual match performances:

Handicap/Point Spread
Games played: 30
Won: 15
Draw: 3
Lost: 12
Winning percentage: 50%

Match Performances This Season
Games played: 30
Won: 22
Draw: 4
Lost: 4
Winning percentage: 73%

Spot the difference yet? This is how handicap changes the whole perspective about a team on the betting front. In fact, Man U currently stands in the top of the table in the English Premier League, but on the handicap front they are only in 7th place.

The point which I am driving at is, if you bet like a fan over time, you will lose a lot of money. I have always told people that don't rely on your knowlege of the game alone and put in some hard work analyzing the odds etc. I concluded that there are basically two reasons why sports bookmakers are making a lot of money, first being that the odds are always in their favour and secondly is because of a lot of ignorant fans out there thinking that they can outsmart the bookies with their knowledge of the game. Trust me, if these people run billion dollar businesses taking your bets, they definitely research and analyze tens and thousands of times more than you to open the market with certain handicaps.

The bottom line is, in order for you to start winning as a sports bettor, stop thinking like a fan first!

A New Profit Generating System (Fingers Crossed)

Hi all!

I am currently testing out one of the new systems which I developed a couple of weeks back, so far the results are pretty encouraging and if everything works according to plan, I think it will be another stream of 40% to 60% of consistent profits!

Do not worry, and certainly don't get too excited yet. I am still fine-tuning and testing the system. Just check out this blog regularly and I will definitely be launching the finalized version here on sportsbetprofit, perhaps even giving out for free to my regular blog readers, so keep visiting and leave me some comments to let me know you better!

Have a winning day ahead!
