Playing in Baseball Lunacy 9/1915

Sports Investors,

It's September 1st.  Before I get to baseball lunacy I want to tell you a story.   I haven't been able to blog every day because I'm doing something that everyone of you has or will have to deal with and that is a sick parent.

All my life I've been a "fighter" so to speak.  I took limited size and talent to minor league baseball and who knows what would have happened had I not hurt my arm?  I always wanted to be the best.  In the casino business, I wanted to and was one of the best as a dealer, supervisor, pit supervisor....sports book....etc.   When I decided to leave all that behind because I was confident I could make my living playing the sports and helping others...I wanted to create something different.  I didnt' want people to call into some BS 800 number and get sold.  I wanted to put together a group of people who wanted to treat sports like an investment....you always strive to be the best.

So, these past few weeks as I enjoy, what has been told to my by the "best" in the field of medicine, the final times that I'll get to spend with my father it really made me think about life and my children and my children's children.  So while sitting at the hospital and the doctors offices I started journaling.  Just making notes about each sport and what I think is the absolute best way to attack that sport from a betting perspective.  Then the notes started turning into more of a book.

Then I tried to think of everything I've tested in each sport, how I tested, and what I knew to work....and not work so well.   Ever since I was in grade school I've had a passion for writing and reading.  I read a ton of things every day.  Like many of you....if you want to be the best in your field you have to try to stay two steps ahead of the curve.

So, out of what has been a very sad experience, I thought a lot about my own mortality and "what about my clients if something happened to me?"   Many of you who read the blog are not clients of Platinum Sports Investing Club so you may not understand what I'm about to say because your only experience in this business has been.....well.....with A-holes.   The thing is I am proud to say that I'm friends with many of my clients.  Maybe not in the sense that we hang out every day because they are in many other places around the world but I know their voice on the phone and I genuinely care about their well being.   Its a blessing and a curse.  

Out of my personal difficult experience, I've created a book.  It's something that those of you who may be interested can get and that way no matter what, you'll always have a very very solid starting point and a way to make money investing in sports.  What started as notes that I'd leave for my son should something ever happen to me, has become the TEAMPSIC Guide To Sports Investing.

I'm very proud of what it has become.  I've written books before but this is definitely the most comprehensive and the best of my work.    Anyone who is interested simply email me.  I don't know what the investment will be for it.  It won't be crazy.  It won't be $50 either.  But if you're interested email me and in the next day or two I can get you the details.  The one thing I'm sure of is that it will be worth EVERY PENNY and 50 times more!  Thanks for your time and the time you spend reading this blog!

NOW.....BASEBALL LUNACY.

Why is it baseball lunacy?  Because teams that should be -150 but have a sniff of playoff contention are now -220.  The good teams get stupid lines and the underdogs are way way over valued....I mean some of them are WAY over valued.......Then you add in......minor league call ups.  I hate minor league call ups and especially in the bullpen.

Some bad teams will improve and cash for us at +200, +300 because of those minor leaguers.  Some good team, that's in the playoff hunt, will free fall collapse and take ALL OF YOUR MONEY with them.   Historically, a team or two will get hot and get in, a team, kinda like what the Angels look like....where they were on the verge and now Tom Petty "Freeeeee Fallllin"  is playing because they can't buy a win.

This time of year is fairly tailor made for 1st five innings.  Take the bullpens out of play and try to hunt for some values.

Oh, by the way, FOOTBALL STARTS THIS WEEK!!!!!!

TEAMPSIC complementary play (3-3)

1st 5 innings - Detroit +140 - Verlander is back and even though Detroit is out he's been AWFULLY good.  KC has the best pen or one of the best pens in MLB but we're taking that out of the equasion and getting some value here.

To your success,

Tod Wilkinson
