9 for 10
With the way I bet on sports, there is no "bad" outcome, but there is a "better" outcome, and that is if I manage to bust out all of my money from one book before I meet the rollover requirement. This allows me to proceed to another chase sooner, and I can earn a bit faster. This past wekend I was on fire in this regard. My picks were 9 for 10 in busting the way I wanted them to go. Happy happy!
I suspect in the long run this will all even out. In fact, this recent run is likely part of the evening out process. The two times I have got my bankroll stuck in the past were on runs where I couldn't get anything to bust in the 'right' direction. What goes around comes around.
The only small drawback on my current run is that the one 'black sheep' pick that busted the wrong way was at Bodog. Given my schedule, its harder to find lines at Bodog to bet on, as compared to other books. Bodog tends to post their lines later in the day than most books, so I have to find stuff in the evening - there's nothing available in the morning. There were some baseball moneylines this morning, but they were all so square that I couldn't find anything closer to Pinnacle's lines than 8 points. (No thanks, I'll wait!)
On the affiliate front, I have decided to mimic internettexasholdem's free poker books offer with a free sports betting books offer. I want to start slowly with this promotional offer, so I am only offering 4 book selections (all recommended reading at various sports betting sites) and four online sportsbooks (all highly rated for customer satisfaction) for now. If it proves to be successful, I'll expand it later. I just don't want to risk biting off more than I can chew on the first go 'round and not be able to fulfill the terms of the offer. I am in good shape so far, and have even had one new client take me up on the offer! If you've been thinking about sports betting, now's a good time to make the plunge....FREE BOOKS!
