Platinum Sports Investing Blog - Sunday

Hello Everyone,


Ok now that I have eclipsed my 8 year anniversary
I'm going to divulge one of my best secrets to how
I make money playing the games.

I often get emails from people who say "I have a
$200 bankroll so what do you think....should I start
with a $50 bet?" My response usually goes something
like...."did you eat paint chips as a kid? Have
you recently been hit by a bus or had an out of
body experience? The one thing I can assure you
if you bet $50's on a $200 bankroll is that you're
going to go broke...and fast!

So the challenge for everyone is how can I make money
when I have a little to start with....OR how can I make
money with a MINIUMUM of exposure.

The answer is by using PARLAYS!

Now, I already see half the people who believe that
parlays are a sucker bet, and you're right to a degree,
and the other half who have no idea how to use parlays
and always lose them so right off the bat I know the
first reaction is negative. Do I care? No, not even
a little bit. If you don't like or at least want
to open your mind on how to do parlays the right
way then go pound sand and keep losing. The reason
I don't talk about this too often is that too many
people want to "GAMBLE" and are not interested in the
idea of accepting small wins.

RULE #1: YOU MUST BE WILLING TO ACCEPT SMALL WINS!

Here is something I learned in my 10 years in the casino
business. Most of my casino, non sportsbook, time was in
the craps pit. I usually watched the same group of people
whine about not being able to catch a roll but when the
rolls came they had no idea how to capitalize. The
difference between the losers and the professionals
was the the pro's had a rock solid systematic approach
and they were willing to accept small wins. Hmm...there
we go again with the small wins.

So, for the 5 of you still reading this I want you
to answer me a question. If I gave you these two
options, which would you choose?

You have the option of risking $30 with a payoff of
$100. OR You have the option of risking ZERO with
a payoff of $30. Be honest, which would you choose?
A lot of you aren't real excited about that $30
payday but if you did that every day you'd make $900
a month.

So back to our original idea. Yes just throwing
out a 3 team parlay on your favorite teams is gambling suicide.
I agree. However, doing parlays the right way by time-zoning
them out and HEDGING they go from suicidal to a systematic
way to extract money from your book.

NFL football also offers us another of life's great joys,
the opportunity to hit many many MIDDLES. In addition
to using systematic parlays to make some money we'll also
use teasers and build ourselves 10,12, and 14 point middles
where we hit the JACKPOT.

Our goal each game is to take our key game and build an
"investment" profile on that game. Then later in the week
when we have enough on our "KEY" we'll turn around and start
betting into the OPPOSITE of our key game with point buys
and teasers. By the end of the week, in a perfect world,
we will have a situation where NO MATTER WHAT happens
in our Key game we will win money. We'll make a nice
score if our key game wins, we'll make a small win if
our key game loses and we hit the JACKPOT if our key game
middles.

VERY IMPORTANT - - when using this method you still need
to bet small and MAKE SURE YOU HAVE money to hedge. We will
be betting hedges and opposites all the way along so you
must have money to do that. Also, one thing you need to
get used to when you use this method is that you're not
really getting paid until the end of the week.

So, there is a lot to teach but the best way is to
see it in action.

Our KEY PLAY for this upcoming week is the
New England / Miami OVER 45

With that said, we'll never actually bet it at that
number but that's our key game so lets get started

Sunday 9/4/2011

We are going to start the week with 2 TEASERS!
I want to start building into the NE OVER at the lowest
number I can.

So here are the two plays we'll start working today...
I use 7 point teasers.
