WHY SPORTS INVESTING ON SOCCER CAN BE "DIFFICULT"

Hello sports investors,

I got a lot of feedback from you all about tennis fixing.  Nothing new but I did want to follow up on that thought because the only sport more crooked than Tennis is SOCCER.

Now, I'm not saying all matches are fixed because they aren't.  But when people ask me what I was looking for when creating a soccer program for my members, one of the big criteria is that we want to play into leagues that have had the LEAST track record for potential fixes.  If you're going to use computer data, the one thing that can make you look really stupid is of course cheating.  No handicapping or programs can ever factor in that dynamic.

Ok, so I've got a link here to an EXCELLENT article that outlines just how extensive the soccer match fixing can be.   There are syndicates who have created entirely FAKE leagues and fixed every single match.

Losing Valuable Bankroll over the all-star break

Hello Sports Investors,

It happens every year.  millions of dollars evaporate from bettors accounts during the all-star break because people just don't know what to do with themselves for those 4 days and you start speculating.  Sound familiar?

Fortunately for our sports and horse members, we have some soccer qualifiers and horse run every day but for those of you combing the forums for the latest and greatest in search of what to bet, here are some common mistakes that make you start MLB after the break with less than before the break.

1. Tennis.  A lot of people turn to tennis as a way to "possibly" add a few bux to their roll over the break and their dream turns into a nightmare when that -200 "LOCK" they got from their buddy on the covers forum loses in straight sets and now the chase is on...NOW you're saying..."Shit, now I just want to get that money back...and then you bet again.....and now you take an underdog so you don't have to bet a lot......he also loses in straight sets.  By the time friday rolls around you've plowed through half your bankroll and now you'll spend the rest of August trying to get it back on MLB

The other problem with tennis.....there is a WHOLE LOT OF MATCH FIXING AND IT'S VERY EASY FOR THEM TO DO.  If you want a good read...check out this ESPN the magazine article by Howard Bryant...CLICK HERE

2. Soccer....It's the worlds game right?  There are a lot of soccer matches played all around the world every day but if you think for one minute that soccer is easy....better check yourself.   One of the toughest things about soccer is really that there are 3 possible outcomes.  A home team win, A visitor win, or a DRAW.  It took me 3-4 years of research working with a group from Australia and using very sophisticated computer algorithms to create a program for my members that would not only win but would RARELY if ever have us playing a MINUS MONEY bet.  Our soccer program has been good but I would never recommend that people just jump into soccer, on their own, to fill in the time during the All star break.   I can't tell you how many times in my research I've seen -300, -400, -500, and even higher end up in  a DRAW.  Guess what, when you lay that money thinking you've got a lock and it ends a draw, YOU LOSE.  A very easy way to kill your bankroll.   If you're going to play soccer, I'd obviously recommend you look seriously at our program as we've  had excellent results for going on 3 years now.  If not us, I can understand, as many of you just don't do services, but you better be REAL sharp and find a consistent source that gives you PLUS MONEY bets and totals because that is the ONLY way to survive in soccer.

3. WNBA - This is actually probably one of the better ways to fill in and attempt to put a few extra dollars into the front pocket federal.  There are several reliable systems and people that pick NBA games.  From my own experience, Bob Akmens is actually one of the best day in and day out WNBA services out there as he's probably in the neighborhood of hitting 70%+ on his WNBA.

Overall, there are a lot of mistakes and a lot of money lost senselessly over the MLB all star break.  The bottom line is that if you can't cool your jets for a few days, I'd really recommending finding a quality provider of the "OTHER" sports  You can check out Platinum Sports Investing.

As a NOTE, all of our sports and soccer plays will now be monitored at Handicappers Watchdog.  Even though we post all the plays on the website and accurate records are kept there, this is just another way for PSIC to separate ourselves from a lot of the unfortunate bad people in this industry.

Finally, don't forget to follow us on TWITTER @teampsic for bonus plays and program updates.

MLB All-Start Break Is Near......

Hello Everyone,

With this being the last week before the MLB all star break, it's time for me to do everyone a public service. Just when you're starting to think that your "SURE FIRE CHASE SYSTEM" can't possible lose I'm here to dump a bucket of cold water on you.  

Remember this and you'll be a better sports investor.   ANY TEAM CAN GET SWEPT BY ANY OTHER TEAM.  Even though it is not likely and sweeps only happen 20% of the time anyway, this time of year can be a real house of horrors for bettors

Let's go back in time to Saturday July 10th 2010.  A day that will live in sports betting infamy.  This was game 3 of a 4 game series with the LAST PLACE Baltimore Orioles visiting the dominating Texas Rangers.  Baltimore had already won the first two games of the series and people following the RPI chase, the -120 every game of the series chase, the -150 at home series chase and just about every other system play in the world was LOADED up on Texas that Saturday.  They were loaded up at -385...yes that was the closing line and a STUPID bet.  I tell my members of Platinum Sports Investing Club that laying over -150 makes me weary.  ALL BULLPENS SUCK.  Remember that and you'll be better off.   So at -385 everybody in the world was on that LOCK in Texas.  Every service on the RX forum and SBR  and every other tout haven on the planet had Texas -385, Texas -1.5, Texas -2.5.......Texas NEVER led in that game and lost 6-1 as a -385 favorite.   That set up the final blow.

Sunday July 11th, 2010.  First off, nothing good can happen on that day anyway.  That was the anniversary day of the day I got married to my now ex-wife in one of the worst marriages in the history of marriage.  So right off the bat the whole world is kinda cursed on that day.  But I digress.  So here we are, Baltimore  after taking the first 3 game of the series SURELY couldn't sweep the mighty Texas Rangers.....In Texas...could they?   Once again, every tout, every chaser, and nearly everyone had TEXAS as their play of the millennium.  Texas went off -235 and when they scored a run in the bottom of the first,  everyone felt great....Baltimore answered with 3 in the top of the 2nd and Texas never scored again and was swept at home, by one of the worst teams in MLB that year....4-1 was the final.   Men cried.  No seriously, men cried.  A lot of them called me.  They weren't my clients but that was the straw that broke the camels back.  One guy lost $82,000 on those 4 games in a 4 game chase.  Most of them begged me to teach them how to manage their money.

The moral of that story is that ANYONE can be beat.  Just when you think your system will never lose, you're 5 minutes away from a kick in the private parts.   Anything can and will happen in MLB and especially close to the all star break,  and that's why baseball is such a great game because the WORST team will find a way to win 60 times.  The best team will lose 60 times....how will you navigate that mine field?

To your success,

Tod Wilkinson
