RATINGS SYSTEM
My ratings system is pretty simple. Games are rated on a scale of 2-10 Dimes, with 2 being the weakest and 10 being strongest. The higher the rating, the stronger I believe the play to be. Here is how I recommend you divvy up your bankroll.
Let's say your total bankroll (the amount you can afford to lose assuming an absolute worst case scenario where every play bombs) is $300 for the day. You purchase my plays where I've given you one 10 Dime play, two 5 Dime plays, one 3 Dime play, and one 2 Dime play. This gives you 25 Dimes of total plays with which to wager (10 + 5 + 5 + 3 + 2 = 25).
Divide your $300 bankroll by 25, which makes each dime worth $12. This makes a 10 Dime play worth $120, a 5 Dime play worth $60, a 3 Dime play worth $36, and a 2 Dime play worth $24. So, with the plays you have for the day above, your wagers are $120 + $60 + $60 + $36 + $24 = $300).
The math works for any size bankroll and if you wager accordingly using my plays, over the long haul you'll stay in profit. It's all about smart money management, about sticking with a system that works.
There are two rules I have always lived by, and I strongly suggest you do the same. First, NEVER WAGER ANY MORE THAN YOU CAN COMFORTABLY AFFORD TO LOSE!!! Don't bet the rent money, the grocery money, or the kid's college fund, because we're talking about gambling here. There are no money-back guarantees in Vegas or at online sportsbooks. Only wager with discretionary funds, those that won't cause you to do without necessities should your wager lose.
Second rule, NEVER WAGER YOUR ENTIRE BANKROLL ON ANY ONE SINGLE GAME! ALWAYS DIVERSIFY! The reason many people fail to profit with sports wagering is that they place everything they've got on one "big game," i.e. the Super Bowl, a World Series game, NBA Finals Game 7, my top-rated play of the day, whatever. That's simply a recipe for disaster. If your single wager loses, you have nothing to catch your fall, no back up wagers to minimize your loss. When you wager 3 or more plays at a time, you increase your chances of staying in profit. That's why I always release a minimum of 3 plays every day, to provide a safety net for the inevitable losses that will happen. There has been many times where my top rated play lost, but all the lower rated plays won, which kept me at even money or above for the day. Use my system EVERY TIME YOU WAGER and you'll stay in profit over the long haul.
If you're wondering whether I take my own advice, the answer is a resounding YES! I always use my Rating System and I personally play every release I post here. My system is nothing new; it's simply about smart money management.
