Hello Everyone,
I wanted to thank all of you for the great emails about
my 8th anniversary online. I really appreciate it.
If you haven't done so already you should head over to
www.ssbwins.com and at least sign up for the daily free
play.
The Spectacular Sports daily comp selection started off
with a nice winner with the Cubs at +135.
NCAA Football starts this week and if there are any of you
who are in our NCAA Football special group and you have NOT
received the play for this week make sure you email
me. I think I have an accurate account of who's paid but
nobody is perfect. I'm looking forward to a great NCAA
football season.
To Your Success,
Tod Wilkinson

Platinum Sports Investing Blog - Thursday
Hello Everyone,
Coming up on August 30th it will be my 8 year anniversary of providing
what I feel is a quality sports investing program but with actual
customer service.
You see, many of the handicappers out there wouldn't dare
play their own picks. To them it's just the idea of selling
hope. For me, I never forgot those years in the casino biz
or the many years of casino and sports betting. I know what it
feels like when you're up 1-0 with Chris Carpenter on the mound
and LaRussa sticks his head clear up his ass and goes to
his bullpen so he can lose 2-1. I know that frustration
because my own money was at stake and I think somewhere along
the way in this business the people giving the picks forgot
or never understood that feeling.
Guys like Lang and many other "experts" have a customer service
staff to field their hate mail....you can't even talk to or
contact them but you're supposed to pay. If you're going to
sell picks or a service, you should have to read your email.
When I'm going cold...I read my hate mail nodding my head because
I'm losing money on the picks just like my clients.
Fortunately, I don't get much hate mail and it's mostly because
my clients know I'm JUST AS PISSED as they are when we lose
because I had my heart ripped out too.
In this business I reflect back and it's amazing how things
come full circle. When I launched Spectacular Sports it was a
handicapping service where I'd give 1-3 plays per day. I was anxious
to teach people the lessons I'd learned working behind the scenes
in the industry. Then about 2 years in things changed. I started
working with the guys from princeton and we were developing our own and
improving some existing systems that were starting to circulate
like the MLB sweep chase and NBA road chase..etc. Quickly we
learned that the systematic approach was good but CHASING SUCKED.
You could lose a whole years worth earnings in a week.
Then my sports investing life changed again as I decided to apply
an old roulette money management method to my sports program. The
testing was great so I decided I was going to help some people get
off the crazy train of CHASING so I was the first person to advocate
the Labourchere for sports betting and I posted some information on
covers, of course that was before they banned me, and I had no
idea that 4 or 5 years later the Labourchere would become part of
the fabric of the sports betting world. Other services were resistant
at first, but then when I started seeing my own "labourchere" page from
my website being emailed back to me as other sports services were kind
enough just to take my information as their own, I knew it was here
to stay in some capacity.
Then, along the way, a guy who calls himself John Morrison proceded
to ruin some of the best systems out there. He ruined them because
he was a great entrepreneur. He set up a very very good sales
website and sold the shit out of those systems. It's funny, I remember
talking to several of my sportsbook OWNING friends and they laughed at
the idea of system bettors or chasers. "Bring it on" was what one of
them told me.
Well, after the NBA season of 2008 when the east / west chase lost it's
first play and no others the rest of the season, 3 of my sportsbook friends
were OUT OF BUSINESS and other sportsbooks started to fight back by not
allowing point buys or charging a premium on the 3rd point that was so high
it wasn't worth the buy.
Oh how the bettors complained....."those damn sportsbooks...how can they do that?"
Well, they're a BUSINESS. They are out to make profits and in no way, shape,
or form are they going to let one system stick it to them. Drastic changes were
made and although many people still cling to the systems approach, that star
like many others is fading as sportsbooks and local bookies AGGRESSIVELY
alter their lines for game 2's and 3's.
So here we are and after all the ups, downs, ins and outs...the straight
picks, the systems and everything else it's come full circle and really
sportsbetting, I think, is returning to it's roots. People want to win
but now realize that chasing will kill you and that consistency is what is
needed.
Don't get me wrong, I do like a systematic approach for my clients
but in the end you have to take what the books will give you...Right?
Now, like most other times in sportsbetting history, the best way to
beat the man is again to find the few situations a day where you have
an edge. Here's the problem...that type of handicapping takes a shit ton
of time and effort and most people DON'T want to do it which is exactly
why that approach will ALWAYS work.
8 years ago Spectacular Sports was born, then we morphed into Platinum
Sports Investing Club as we moved away from picking games and more into
the systematic approach. Platinum Sports Investing will still stay
on the systematic approach but the systems used will be all proprietary
so we can maintain our edge over the "MAN".....Spectacular Sports
is back and really more out of demand than anything. People now want
a service that will WIN. People want a service that is not STREAKY where
they win 10 units this week and dump 40 next week. And with the changes
in the economy People want a service they can afford and that's why
I'm bringing back Spectacular Sports to it's original home at
www.ssbwins.com
Will it be different that Platinum Sports Investing Club? Absolutely!
Spectacular Sports will stay true to it's roots and be a place where
someone can get 1-3 plays a day that will win a whole lot more than
they lose. The games are all individually handicapped games based on
value. No system plays. We will NOT be using the labourchere on
this program either but rather very simple money management like the 10% method.
I'd like to invite all of you to visit: www.ssbwins.com and sign up to
be on the email list. Eveyone who gets on that list will be happy that
they did because those people will get...1. The daily free play. This isn't
going to be some big favorite or public chalk free play. A daily free play
Spectacular Sports style is going to be the highest price play on the board
among all sports going that day that I feel has a statistical and legitimate
edge and ability to win at a very nice price! 2. Everyone on that email list
is going to be able to join Spectacular Sports for the same price that
I charged 8 years ago when I first came online.... Just $59.95 per month.
If I can, I just want to take a moment to thank ALL OF YOU who follow this
blog and are part of my programs. I'm looking forward to another 8 years
of helping people to make money!
To Your Success,
Tod Wilkinson
