Do you want to make money or do you want action?

by: Pointspread Pros

In my dealings with my clients, this is always the first question I ask them. And in the majority of cases, they answer "I want to make money!" but in reality they want the action more.

The two are mutually exclusive and is the main reason why there are beautiful multi-million dollar casinos lining the Vegas strip, paid for by your need for the action!

In order for you to be successful in sports wagering you must put away your thirst for action, and become a disciple of discipline. Just like investing in the stock market, you find the right stock, at the right time and you buy. You don’t just buy a stock EVERY day because it is available.

You are probably thinking "sure I wouldn’t, that would be foolish," but what do most of you do on Sunday night and Monday night, and now even Thursday night!…

Yep, there is a game on, so I have to put some money on it. If you are up from the early games on Sunday, you double up on the Sunday nighter, if you are down, even worse you bet big to get it all back. This strategy will fail every time and this is the bookies main ally. He knows whether you are up or down, you by betting numerous games that don’t offer an edge will line his pockets.

I have made money betting on Professional Football every year since 1998, some years of course were much better than others, but I always came out ahead. Why? Because I love money more than I love action.

I repeat, "I love money more than I love action..."

You need to have this as your mantra, if you plan on winning. Sometimes the best bet of the day is no bet. I know, how boring, but remember you are doing this to make money, not to satisfy your gambling sweet tooth.

Believe me, you can not beat the NFL on a consistent basis without doing your homework. It amazes me how many guys are betting sports, and the only "handicapping" they do is look at how a team performed the previous week!

Nothing worth anything in life comes easy, so why not use a method that has all the hard work already done for you. That’s where I come in. I have successfully used the picks from my computer system to compile a 117 – 60 record against the spread since 1998. I used these same picks to come in 4th and 6th in the Ultimate Handicapping Challenge in 2000 and 2004 respectively.

The success of this computer system comes at the expense of years and years of trial and error and a huge portion of my free time. But now I am reaping the rewards and you can too.

2006 was a particularly great year for our system as we gave out a (17 – 6) record to our clients, not a lot of picks but at over 70% as a win rate, my system stresses quality over quantity. And yet I had clients tell me they broke about even for the year!

"How can this be?" I thought, but the response I got was, "Well, I didn’t play all your picks and I bet other games on my own and I lost…"

Bingo, the exact point of this article. The system worked, but the persons lack of discipline and need for action ruined what should have been a very profitable season.

So if you are ready to change your approach to betting on sports and want this year to be more successful then past seasons, give our picks a try, and learn how to profit from sports betting.

We will provide you the tools for success:

A sound proven computer system
A disciplined approach to betting only on key games where you have the edge
A money management strategy for your bankroll (Google "Kelly Criterion" to see what we recommend as a money management strategy)

Best of luck everyone!
