Well lets get the ugly out of the way first. I guess for now I totally suck at sports betting. To make a winning public pick would be a miracle. My record is looking an abysmal:
W/L (Wins/Loses) 5 – 7 Winnings -2
I have been so distracted lately with utter degenaness I have not been tracking my r/r ratio nor have I even been following the consensus pick of the day. Also the consensus pick when I was tracking it (see past posts) was sucking it up. So I guess bet against the people and the money is the lesson. My picks and writing WILL pick up when I move to vegas and get down to bizness. This can be looked at in two ways. One I’m the cooler. Two just bet against me the super donkey and you will win money! Ahhhhhhhhh the bright side 
In better news and in the spirit of trying to never disappoint I have found another blog that seems to make sports predictions and good ones! Check out the NBA picks from Sunday (3 for 3 with a push good game us!)
I also like how he breaks his bets out by sport on the left middle of the page. Need to re-work my game. Well I started another excerpt from my sports betting book. Obviously it is only a start but it is a small section from a much larger body:
THE POOL IS NEVER FULL:
Many sports bettors and the average sports book railbird fail to realize the power of a quality sports pick across the layers of positive equity. The opportunity value of a winning sports pick is an exponentially definable money making mass of firepower. Looking at an example relative to the gambling world might help us better define how this can occur.
Lets say I am in a poker game and I know I have the edge. I have a positive expected value when playing in the game and the stats are there in front of everyone to prove it. It is a cash game. I flop a straight flush and by the river nothing can beat me. My opponent happens to have the nut flush and is eager to put all of his money in the middle. The only money I can make on this sure thing is whatever my opponent has in front of him or is willing to risk on this specific hand. The money that can be made is finite. Only 100% of one side wins. For sports betting the money can go in the middle a lot differently.
Before we get into sports betting however I know many of my poker playing brethren are probably thinking things like what about online multi-tabling. Although in some unique situations poker players and others that make educated wagers for a living can on some scale and in a comparative degree maximize a single skill set holding positive equity spread within a single type of game. Even still sports betting does not holding limitations such as players at the table, limit amounts, time costs etc. Also depending on category definition the results of sports betting comparative to something that is less gamble and more research and knowledge similar to poker or even the stock market can be astronomic.
If you have a winning sports pick multiple people can play the same winning bet (hand) across multiple sports books. There is no set amount in the middle of the pool to win. The pool of money and winning opportunity is endless and never full enough. Your opponent is not limited to a fixed and numbered entity. In sports betting with enough creativity and the right strategy one can stand to make sizable amounts of money.
