About this sports blog

Hi there! I’m going to blog here about the Reds, chronicling their unstoppable roll to a World Series Championship in 2009 2010. Besides that, I’ll blog, from time to time, about other topics in sports. I’ll also be posting complimentary sports handicapping picks.

I’m currently completing a book on my sports handicapping methods for the NBA, MLB, NFL, NHL, as well as NCAA. It’s going to be a “how-to” manual on professional sports handicapping/investing. I’m self-publishing, and it should be available for purchase by next year.

And, keep in mind, regarding sports betting, successful professional sports investors should not risk more than 1% of their bankroll on any one play, and they should not jiggle their bet sizes up and down based upon “star systems”. Despite what touts may tell you, there is no such thing as a 20-star “can’t miss” or “lock” pick. The lines are never so far off that you’ll have a sure thing. As a professional sports investor, you’re looking to win over the long haul by wagering whenever you detect a slight edge of just a few percentage points (i.e., 54% chance of winning against a -110 spread). Even a super-superb pick against the spread will lose about 40% of the time. There are no locks, so don’t bet as if there are. Lack of money management fundamentals dooms most sports bettors, even if they can pick more winners than losers.
