Platinum Sports Investing Blog - Saturday

The Thundering herd got the job done for us in
easy fashion as the sportsbooks and sharps were
definately in the know on that one. I once had
a very prominent line maker tell me that: "The more
uncomfortable you are making the play....probably
the better the play." Isn't that the truth.
Some of, ok many of the plays on here may not be real
easy to play or may leave you scratching your head but
if most people lose (and believe me they do regardeless
of what they SAY)...why would you want to bet what they do?


Just a quick note. I get asked this a lot and
I want to share my thoughts on it with you not only
so you understand where I'm coming from but really
so you can make good decisions if you're trying to
find handicappers or handicapping services to follow.


So often people email or ask "What is your record in...."
My answer is usually the same...I DON'T KNOW. Some of
you probably know exactly what the record was for the
value system over the summer.....I have no clue. What
I do know is that whatever your base bet was...you MADE
68 UNITS IN PROFIT. I'll look at records when I do
research to see what would the best money management
system be to fit that program but records can be very
very deceiving. In MLB I get emails all the time from
people asking me about this service or that service and
you'll hear things like .."They said they hit 65% in MLB"
Well...ok but what they didn't tell you is that every play
is at -200 to -250 so at 65% you actually lose money in the
long run.


For all of you who follow this blog, there are good people
out there but football is the most bet sport and brings
out the most con-men so you really need to be careful.
If it looks like a pig and smells like a pig...chances
are that it's a pig.


For those of you who may be new gamblers...I would also
caution you to beware of some of what you see on the forums.
I think forums like Covers, Sbr, and the rx are fine places
to learn but inevitably you'll find someone on there with
a crazy 4 game or 5 or even 6 game chase / progression.
I know you all have seen things like that or someone with a
crazy record. Those chases and progressions all look great
on the forum thread but the bets get so high that no one could
ever play that much at any book or the average person would be
wiped out long long before you get to that ever critical
6th game of the chase.


Ok, I'll stop my rant but I just don't like to see good people
like all of you get shafted out of money needlessly. In the
mean time I'll keep doing my best to make us some money.
