Treat your wagering like a business professional not a gambler.  We analyze all of the day's possibilities and our subscribers receive only the very best single pick for that day.

Good luck to all sports betters!

Congratulations to all of our subscribers as we went 3 for 3 last night!

Last night's pick was NCAA Wisconsin (+3.5) at Virginia which paid out nicely at 1.943.  Wisconsin easily covered winning the game 48 - 38!

Great sports betting action coming up tonight. Looking at 6 potential picks covering NCAAB, NCAAF and NFL!

Good luck to everyone!

Many might not know that over betting is the biggest hurdle to being profitable.  The thrill of the unknown often leads to quasi addictive wagering.

At abitbetter247, we analyze each and every possible wager for the day and we safely and securely provide our subscribers with a single betting line per day that represents what we believe to be our subscribers' best opportunity for profit.

Who are we?

Follow us at @abitbetter247 on Twitter and find out!

As always, best of luck to everyone!   

We have received a few questions from subscribers and potential subscribers alike so we thought that this might be the appropriate forum to fully set out our services and the process we follow.

Firstly, each and every day we are constantly reviewing all betting lines trying to select the very few opportunities that pique our interest.  We carefully review all potential opportunities and weigh them against our very specific criteria.  Very few opportunities make our short list.  From that short list, we then go on to conduct still further analysis before ultimately selecting our pick of the day.  As an example, yesterday there were 3 picks that made our short list.  We wagered on all 3 picks and as luck would have it, all 3 picks happened to pay out.  However, our wagers were very small and they were made for a variety of reasons.  Sometimes we like to test different sport books, sometimes we like to explore different strategies but ultimately we feel that we need to place some form of wager on our picks in order to validate our selections.  That being said, our business model is that of a service provider whose sole purpose is to improve our subscriber's odds of succeeding at sports betting over the long term.

What do our subscriber's receive?  In order to subscribe to our daily pick, all you have to do is forward 0.001 BTC to our secure bitcoin wallet address at 1FeQnTYFqsqMPv18StzGQMRJTjT1cC37J4.  Immediately thereafter, send us an email at abitbetter247@gmail.com with the bitcoin address that you used to subscribe to the daily pick.  Upon receipt of your email and upon confirmation of your payment, we then immediately reply to your email and provide you with our daily pick.  You receive the pick in a safe, secure and timely manner.  You are then free to determine how best to make use of the information that you have received.

We have received questions asking us why can we not provide our subscriber's with all of our daily picks.  We can, and we are always happy to do so at no additional cost whatsoever to our subscribers, yet we are reluctant to do so.  We believe that our services are best provided by eliminating the guess work for you and by drawing your focused attention on one singular pick, which pick represents, in our opinion, our subscriber's best opportunity at achieving lasting long term profitability one day at a time. However, should a subscriber wish to receive all of the picks that met our short list for the day, please indicate so in your email and we will happily include all of our picks in our prompt response to you.

As always, you may contact us with any of your questions at abitbetter247@gmail.com.  And for those of you who may be inclined to do so, we would certainly appreciate being followed on Twitter at @abitbetter247.

Again, best of luck to our subscribers and to all sports betters out there!         

gl on this bro rooting for you !

You should require subscribers to sign a message using the address they paid with, or use a different payment address for each subscriber.

Otherwise, someone could potentially sit and wait until your address gets a payment, and send you an email saying they sent it.

Thank you for your comment.

So far, we have asked subscribers to include in their email the wallet address from which they sent their payment.  For security purposes, some subscribers have chosen to provide us with the first few letters/numbers and the last few letters/numbers of their address as a means to identify or authenticate their payment.  Truthfully, we have not as yet been inundated with so many subscribers that would make it difficult for us to confirm the origin of the payment or the identity of the subscriber.  The inclusion of a message with the payment might be helpful and something that we will consider implementing for sure.

Thanks again for your interest.

All bitcoin transactions are publicly visible on the blockchain. Send BTC from any address, and see for yourself.

While it has not been a problem so far, I totally see your point.  So what is the best solution?  We certainly don't want to expose our subscribers in any way.  Their loyalty to us and our guarantee of the security of their transactions is integral to our success   Your input is greatly appreciated and respected.

Today's pick was NCAAB Ole Miss (+3) at Kansas State with a potential pay out of 1.724. KState won the game 61-58 which for us was a push.  The line moved from +3.5 to +3 for us by the time we placed our bet but hopefully some of our subscribers got the better line and the win.

All in all we managed a small gain as we placed 4 bets going 2-1-1 on the night. Ironically, the 2 bets that we chose not to take we're in.

We're already working on tomorrow's lines and we look forward to a great day for all of our subscribers!

If you guys want to keep proper records I would honestly suggest that you set up a units system to keep track of how many units your up/down? As a side note do you suggest to bettors that they should flat bet each game or have differing wager sizes?

Both great points that warrant proper thoughtful responses.

Firstly, in respect of implementing a units system we do have a proven track record that is based on a units system.  Secondly, our background is in trading financial markets for over 25 years so as you can well imagine we have tried and ultimately discarded more systems than we could ever mention here that range from the most conservative to the most aggressive Martingale systems imaginable.  The true test of the worth or value of any system is in understanding how it withstands the test of time over many years so as to ride out euphoric gains and devastating bubbles, corrections or crashes in financial markets or the hottest and coldest of winning streaks in sports wagering.  That being said, we recommend flat betting each and every one of our single daily picks and subscribers would be wise in attributing between 1% and 2% of their available capital to each such bet and no bets per day should ever total more than 5% of your available capital regardless of who you might be following or relying upon for guidance.  While we recommend only one pick per day, we do sometimes find a few picks that meet our initial criteria in which case we must scrutinize these picks further in order to ultimately retain only the very best pick.  In such instances, we do wager on each and every one of those picks each and every day for previously discussed reasons so you can well understand how the size of such wagers would be extremely conservative in respect of our overall available capital.

Lastly, to briefly touch upon our units system, yesterday's daily pick was likely a push for most subscribers depending on which sports book you may have utilized such that you would be flat on the day (1 unit out and 1 unit returned = net 0).  For those who may have gotten yesterday's pick in the win column based on the +3.5 line you would be up on the day (1 unit out and 1.724 units returned = net +0.724 units).

We will definitely start posting our net units won/lost and you can always choose to follow us on Twitter at @abitbetter247 where we will also start making such information available.  We will likely only go back to the start of this month as these statistics are more readily available for potential subscribers to scrutinize whereas historical data (which we do record meticulously) is apt to be considered less reliable by the skeptical general public.

Again, thank you for your comment and we hope that we have satisfactorily addressed your comments albeit in this shortened and abbreviated response.

Best of luck to everyone for today!   



     

As requested, here are our numbers for all wagers over the first 5 days of December:

Units Wagered = 14.000
Units Returned = 18.910
Net Betting Units Won = +4.910
Net Winning Percentage (10-3-1) = 71%
Net Return on Investment = +35%

And here are the numbers for our subscribers' pick of the day over those same 5 days of December:

Units Wagered = 5.000
Units Returned = 6.443
Net Betting Units Won = 1.443
Net Winning Percentage (3-1-1) = 60%
Net Return on Investment = +29%

Please note that these are all very conservative numbers.  Some of our subscribers have informed us that they did in fact win the wager that we have recorded as a push which means that for those individuals their winning percentage is significantly higher at 80% and their ROI increases dramatically to +45%.

If you like what you see, please consider becoming a subscriber to our daily pick. You subscribe on a daily basis only which means no ongoing commitments whatsoever.  You are always free to either subscribe or not subscribe each and every single day.

Congratulations to today's subscribers for the pick of the day!  Easy win tonight as Arizona State (-2.5) defeated DePaul 78-56 in NCAAB action.  Our payout was 1.775:

1.000 Units Wagered
1.775 Units Returned
+0.775 Net Units Won

Make no mistake about it, we are here for the long haul and at some point there will be rough seas ahead...but tonight was definitely smooth sailing!

Again, congratulations to everyone who took this wager!

I don't think you understand what I am talking about. Good luck with the service. :)

Thanks again for your interest and feedback.

We have implemented the following changes:

(1) All subscriptions to receive the pick of the day are purchased from us by first sending us an email at abitbetter247@gmail.com requesting the pick of the day.

(2) We then immediately respond to the email confirming the request to receive the pick of the day and we provide the subscriber with a unique bitcoin wallet address to which the deposit of the 0.001 BTC fee can be completed.

(3) As soon as we receive the deposit (at least 1 confirmation) we immediately email the registered subscriber with that day's pick of the day.  As previously mentioned, some subscribers have requested information on the other picks that we personally have selected to play but that did not make the final cut as our pick of the day. We are always happy to provide those as well for no additional fee whatsoever.

We wish everyone success today and we invite you to try out our pick of the day.  Cutoff time to receive today's pick of the day is 5:45 PM on this server or approximately 90 minutes from now. 

Give us a try and you will see your units won increase steadily over time.

We had a great line for our pick of the day on the NCAAB Kansas (+2) at Colorado game which had a potential payout of 1.877.  By game time the line had changed and Kansas was favored by 1.5 only to lose 75 - 72 on a well defended long 3 at the buzzer! Tough!

We'll bounce back tomorrow!

We have just locked in our Pick of the Day for Sunday...are you ready for some football!  Contact us via email to subscribe now!

Congratulations to all of our subscribers! Today's Pick of the Day was NFL Seattle (+3) @ San Francisco.  That was a great run by Kaepernick on 3rd and 7 with 3 minutes to go which allowed the niners to run the clock down, kick the winning field goal and deny Seattle the opportunity to do the same.

As expected, despite the above, we covered the spread and made all of our subscribers WINNERS again today!

Today's Pick of the Day win was particularly satisfying as it's always nice to see all the dumb money trip all over itself to place a losing bet and flush yet another Sunday down the toilet.

Who are we? We're not gamblers...we leave that to the "professionals". But we do know a thing or two about sports and betting lines.

We make our fair share of mistakes too, don't get us wrong, but we also try to help our subscribers get abitbetter247 with their wagering each and every day.

Overall, we went 3 for 3 today. 

If you haven't tried out our service yet, give us a shot.  Send an email to abitbetter247@gmail.com requesting to subscribe to our Pick of the Day and we'll guide you through the easy process.

The Pick of the Day is only 0.001 BTC all through December.

As always, best of luck to everyone.

We are still working on today's Pick of the Day.  It's a fairly light schedule tonight and we are waiting for the betting lines to change on a couple of possibilities.

Cutoff time to subscribe to tonight's Pick of the Day will likely be about 5 hours from now.

If you haven't tried our service, email us at abitbetter247@gmail.com to subscribe to our Pick of the Day.  It's easy to do, fun, dirt cheap at only 0.001 BTC, and we do generate pretty healthy returns for our subscribers on most days.

You can also follow us on Twitter at @abitbetter247.  We don't have many followers yet but we do tweet information over the course of the day that might assist you with your success rate.  Our goal is to provide the best service possible and to make all of subscribers abitbetter one day at a time.

Good luck with the MNF game to all those who decide to take it!  It may very we'll end up being our Pick of the Day.

Tonight's Pick of the Day is in fact the NFL Monday Night Football game.  Email us at abitbetter247@gmail.com to subscribe to tonight's pick.  Just 0.001 BTC gets you on the right side of tonight's betting line!

Tonight's Pick of the Day was NFL Dallas @ Chicago (-2.5) with a nice payout of 1.952.  We could have locked in this pick late last night at Chicago (+2.5) with a potential payout of 1.750.  That was a decent line but we weren't ready to call it just yet.  We wanted to wait until it was absolutely confirmed with 100% certainty that Jay Cutler would not play in the game.  That's right, there's no way we take this game with Cutler starting.  Josh McCown is head and shoulders the better QB at this point and time for the current Bears offense.

If you're struggling with your picks, either over analyzing or not sure what to analyze, we have a one-time offer for you.  It's no secret that we are trying to build a Twitter following, but our Followers are basically non-existent.  If you follow us on Twitter at @abitbetter247 before tomorrow's Pick of the Day is released to our Subscribers, you will get tomorrow's Pick of the Day free of charge.  Simply follow us on Twitter, contact us via email at abitbetter247@gmail.com confirming your Twitter ID, and we will email you our Pick of the Day tomorrow as soon as it becomes available.  If you end up liking it, it would be great if you continued to follow us on Twitter and even subscribe to our picks from time to time.  However, if you're not impressed or it just isn't for you, feel free to move on, no questions asked.

Looking forward to a great Pick of the Day again tomorrow!   

Oh look, you're posting all your plays AFTER the games have concluded or began. No one has paid for your picks and you simply are waiting til after the games are over to post your "winning" plays. What a joke.

There is simply too much live in game betting available to post our Pick of the Day publicly before at least the half way point of any game.  To do otherwise would undermine our business model and prejudice our actual paying subscribers.

But thank you for your insightful comment and best of luck with whatever it is that you do.

Today's Pick of the Day is an NCAA Men's Basketball game.  You can still get it free if you follow us on Twitter at @abitbetter247 and email your request to receive the free Pick of the Day at abitbetter247@gmail.com.

Good luck with your wagers tonight everyone!

Today's Pick of the Day was another winner as Gonzaga (-2) @ West Virginia covered 80 - 76 with a late rally to win the game.  Our payout was 1.943 for this wager.

Tough night for our subscribers.  Tonight's Pick of the Day was NCAAB Canisius @ Buffalo (-2) for a potential payout of 1.847.  Buffalo dominated the first half and went in to the break leading by 9.  However, a total collapse in the second half by Buffalo saw Canisius win the game 69 - 55 going away.  What made the night even worse is that we went out of our way to select this obscure game which we researched extensively only to see all of the favorites in just about every other game cover with ease.  That's what makes this business so fascinating.  Despite all the stats and research available, the games still have to be played by real individuals whose performances cannot be guaranteed.

Anyway, we haven't done this in a while, but it's the Christmas season, so all of the Subscribers who took it on the chin tonight qualify for tomorrow's Pick of the Day absolutely free of charge.  Just email us at abitbedtter247@gmail.com with your request to receive the pick.  And while were at it, what with the goodwill towards men (and women) and all, we'll provide anyone else who emails us with tomorrow's Pick of the Day absolutely free of charge as well.  Let's hope that it's a good one!

Please feel free to take advantage of our generosity and as always best of luck to all.

Back to back losses for the first time in ages.  Obviously, we lose from time to time, but only in extreme cases have we lost on back to back nights.  It just digs you into a little bit of a hole that takes patience and perseverance to climb out from in order to get back on track.

For the record, our Pick of the Night was NBA Los Angeles Clippers (ML) @ Brooklyn Nets with a potential payout of 1.840.  The Clippers looked good early and late but they just mailed it in, in what can only be described as awful 2nd and 3rd quarters.

We will look to get back on track for tomorrow and keep our subscribers comfortably still in the black for the month of December.

Please feel free to email us with your questions, comments or requests at abitbetter247@gmail.com, we are always happy to help in any way that we can.

Best of luck to everyone as always.

Fantastic to be back in the winner's column again after 2 straight losses as the Rockets and Warriors covered the OVER easily.  Our line was 209 with a payout of 1.806, while both teams combined for 228 points making all of our subscribers easy winners tonight!

Congratulations to all and let's keep it going over the weekend!

Well, we find ourselves in the same predicament as many sports betters often find themselves...praying for a great NFL Sunday to salvage their week.  We suffered our third loss of the week today as NCAAB Belmont (-2.5) @ South Dakota State did not pay out in the end.  The betting line and the underlying stats were very favorable but in the end the game really wasn't even that close.  This result was, to say the least, unexpected and has us re-checking our assumptions and our final analysis.

There's no place for emotion in this business, our hard work, dedication, and perseverance will see us, and our subscribers, through the toughest of times.

Good luck tomorrow everyone!   

This seems a little strange.  If you guys actually have an edge over the odds makers, there are many ways for you guys to make some SERIOUS cash.  Charging a couple people online 1 dollar isn't one of those ways. You guys should be swimming in money if you could predict better lines than the bookies, and this venture wouldn't be worth your time at all.

What a crazy NFL Sunday.  The officiating in the league has to be at its lowest point historically.  We advised our subscribers to take New England Patriots (+3) @ Miami Dolphins for a potential payout of 1.793.  While this play did not work out, it's the manner in which it failed that is most disappointing.  In any event, if this game were replayed, we have no doubt that the Patriots would cover the spread 9 out of 10 times.

Here is the word for word email that went out to our subscribers today:

Monday, December 16, 2013

NFL Baltimore Ravens (+7.5) @ Detroit Lions****

Payout 1.709

****PLEASE NOTE THAT THE LINE ON THIS GAME IS IN OUR OPINION DIFFICULT TO ACCURATELY ESTABLISH BY ODDS MAKERS DUE TO MANY FACTORS, INCLUDING LACK OF RECENT HISTORY BETWEEN THE TEAMS, BALTIMORE'S UNUSUAL FORM THIS YEAR AND DETROIT'S HISTORY IN BIG DECEMBER OR PLAYOFF LIKE GAMES.

AS SUCH, WE HAVE ALSO TAKEN THE FOLLOWING WAGERS WHICH YOU MAY WISH TO CONSIDER TAKING.

NFL Baltimore Ravens (ML) @ Detroit Lions  Payout 3.560
NFL Baltimore Ravens @ Detroit Lions OVER 48.5 Payout 1.840

Should you decide to place any of these wagers, we advise that you do so at your earliest convenience as betting lines are subject to change from now until game time.

Have fun and best of luck!

So overall, we wagered 3.000 units and our PICKS of the day returned 5.269 units!  All thanks to Justin Tucker who singlehandedly covered our betting lines.  Unbelievable finish to a great Ravens effort.

Yesterday's Pick of the Day was just plain horrible...and shocking.  We took NCAAB Missouri State (+12.5 1st Half) @ Louisville which had a really nice potential payout of 1.952.  Unfortunately, by half time Louisville was already up by 23!

Today's Pick of the Day worked out much better.  We took NCAAB Massachusetts (-1) @ Ohio which had a potential payout of 1.877.  UMass won the game 83 - 71 for a nice cover!

Contact us via email at abitbetter247@gmail.com to subscribe to our Pick of the Day!

Yesterday's Pick of the Day was NCAAB USC (-1 to +1.5) @ Long Beach State.  Now Long Beach State did win the game 72 - 71 which means that depending on when you placed your wager you may have won or you may have lost.  We wagered 1 unit at -1 and we wagered 1 more unit at game time at +1.5 which meant that we ended up slightly down on the day but very near breakeven.   Yesterday's line kept moving up until game time against USC because Tyler Lamb, a Junior transfer out of UCLA, became eligible to play.  What is really strange is that USC seemed totally unprepared in the first half to defend Lamb.  It just seemed like poor coaching and poor preparation.

Today's Pick of the Day was more straightforward.  We took NCAAB Portland University (-3.5) @ Bradley.  While this game is listed as a home game for Bradley, the game is actually at a neutral site as it was being played as part of the tournament in Vegas being played at the South Point.  On paper this game should have been a mismatch, but in a tournament setting, during the holidays, the betting line seemed to be set, in our opinion, much too conservatively making it our hands down selection for the Pick of the Day.  Ultimately, the game was basically one-sided as Portland rolled to a 74 - 53 win making all of our subscribers happy winners tonight.

To get in on tomorrow's action, email us at abitbetter247@gmail.com to subscribe to our Pick of the Day.

Good luck to all! 

Today's Pick of the Day was NCAAF USC (-6.5) vs. Fresno State.  The betting line kept moving all the way up to game time as more and more money kept pouring in backing Fresno State.  In the end, the game was a huge mismatch, as we expected, and USC covered easily winning 45 - 20 making all of our subscribers winners again today!

Don't miss out on tomorrow's Pick of the Day.  Email us at abitbetter247@gmail.com to subscribe for only 0.001 BTC all through December.

Good luck tomorrow!

Well, we went 3-3-0 on the day, but our Pick of the Day was an absolute dog!  We recommended the Miami Dolphins (ML) @ Buffalo Bills and up until game time the betting line kept moving in favor of Buffalo but we thought nothing of it.  Well, the sharp money figured something out or saw something that we missed because we were totally caught out on this one as the Dolphins lost 19 - 0.

Well, no place to go from here but up as we will look to bounce back tomorrow.

Good luck to all!

Here are the results of our Pick of the Day over the past 6 days:

NCAAB Utah (+2.5) @ Washington WIN 1.900 Units
NCAAB Arizona (-1) @ UCLA WIN 1.869 Units
NCAAB Wright State @ Valparaiso (-3.5) LOSS 1.000 Units
NCAAB California (-1) @ Oregon State WIN 1.869 Units
NCAAB Arizona (-12) @ USC WIN 1.763 Units
NCAAB Syracuse (-7.5) @ Boston College WIN 1.746 Units

5 Wins and 1 loss (83% win ratio...but this is meaningless...don't get fooled by winning percentages...the very best cappers in the world have only a 53-60 % win ratio.  But are they still making you money? hat is the ONLY statistic that matters.)

Did we make our subscribers money over the past 6 days?

Units Wagered = 6
Units Returned = 9.147
Net Units = +3.147
Net Return on Investment = 52.45% (That's cold hard cash...real money and the only thing that matters!!!)

This return is based on fixed unit betting only, which means our subscribers probably made much more than what we calculated above, because we don't use fixed unit betting nor do we ever advise our subscribers to do so.

Bottom line = If you are at all serious about getting ahead in the sports betting business, you MUST pay for the services of a professional HANDICAPPER.  Your handicapper is your broker or your investment advisor.  He or she works hard to make you money and this is why they are able to charge you a reasonable fee for their services.
 
Because handicappers are not regulated for obvious reasons, who are you going to choose?  Tough question to answer.  There are outright scams, poor results, costs, timeliness of information received, the manner in which selections are made, and so many other factors to consider.  But at the end of the day, you MUST choose someone...anyone to provide you with the information that you yourself cannot possibly assemble for yourself consistently on a daily basis.

What do we offer?  We offer a single Pick of the Day via a daily subscription service for a modest fee of 0.05 BTC per day.  What do you get?  When you subscribe for the Pick of the Day via email, you get a return email giving you your unique Bitcoin address to which you deposit our 0.05 BTC fee.  Once you remit your payment, you receive an email confirming your payment and alerting you that you can expect to receive your Pick of the Day via email sometime thereafter.  Depending upon when your payment is received, you can expect to receive your Pick of the Day email at least 2 hours before game time.  If we cannot provide you with a 2 hour window because you have subscribed to the Pick of the Day too late, we will let you know and we will give you the option of cancelling your subscription for today's Pick of the Day and we will immediately refund you your 0.05 BTC payment or we will give you the option of receiving the next day's Pick of the Day completely at your discretion.  Lastly, the Pick of the Day email will clearly identify the applicable league, the home and away teams playing, the team to select, the betting line to select as well as the potential payout to be received based upon the exact moment in time at which we locked in our selection.  Betting lines change right up until game time...sometimes these changes work in your favour and sometimes they work against you...keep this in mind...always.  We recommend that you place your bet as soon as you receive our Pick of the Day.

Do you receive anything else?  Be careful here, many cappers offer free picks, bonuses, etc.  Most freebies or bonuses are worth of little or no value to the professional investor.  Remember that, at all times, you are an investor with a proven and sustainable business model and that you are NOT a gambler!  Anyway, we are human and we are honest and we absolutely feel horrible when our Pick of the Day is not a winner.  Firstly, we ourselves have lost money but, more importantly, our daily subscribers have lost money as well.  Human nature is what it is...if you lose your confidence in us goes down...hopefully only slightly...but the damage is done.  Our business model has 2 revenue streams:  successful wagering for net profit returns and successful handicapping for fees received.  Both are vital to our survival and both are treated with the utmost of importance.  Anyway, getting back to the question, yes you do receive something else.  If the Pick of the Day was not a winner, you do receive the next day's Pick of the Day free of charge.  This is a very small consolation we know, but we honestly do feel bad and it's the least we can do to hopefully have the opportunity to continue to serve you in the future.

BOTTOM LINE = HIRE A PROFESSIONAL HANDICAPPER

In doing so, we would love it if you would consider hiring us for our services.  There are no long term commitments, no catches or gimmicks, just a one-time reasonable fee of 0.05 BTC for the Pick of the Day.  We are human, we are honest, and we will communicate with you via email to address all of your comments, questions, or concerns no matter how long it takes to make you 100% satisfied with your decision to hire our professional services.

Please feel free to contact us via email at abitbetter247@gmail.com anytime!  We look forward to serving you and, as always, good luck to all!       

How much are the picks?  And you have to pay per day?

Edit I just checked the first page. So we send the .001, then email you and you immediately give us the pick?  Can you offer a more long term record or just the past 6 days?

Edit this past post says .05 but first page says .001 what's the story?

Hi.

The 0.001 BTC price was a promotion that we had throughout the entire month of December.  The regular daily price has always been 0.005 BTC or $5 via Paypal which we don't really encourage due to the fees incurred.  We never promoted ourselves on any forum or website before so we thought that we would offer some sort of special during the month of December.

We have been around for about 2 years and we have a relatively small but loyal subscription base that has grown by word of mouth only.  But we are brutally honest and we try to give every subscriber 100% satisfaction.  Our picks will not always be correct, but if you stick with us and stick to your money management plan you will make good money and you might even have a bit of fun along the way.

By the way, we lost tonight by the narrowest of margins as our Pick of the Day was NCAAB Oklahoma (+5.5) @ Kansas State for a potential payout of 1.892.  Oklahoma was in it right to the very end only to lose by 6 points 72-66.  We actually had this one as a likely win by Oklahoma so we are very choked with the result.  Small consolation, but today's subscribers will receive tomorrow's Pick of the Day free of charge.

As for our track record, check the previous posts to get all of our recent results dating back to December.  To subscribe, to get more information, or to get more detailed information regarding our overall track record just email us at abitbetter247@gmail.com.  We will answer every one of your questions until you are satisfied that you have enough information to make an informed decision one way or the other.

Thanks for your question.  An open and honest interactive forum is what we are hoping to provide.
 

Ok so it's .005 BTC per day.  Following up to your above post, is it ALWAYS a free next pick of the day if the day before lost?

also, approximately what time does the pick get e-mailed?  I just ask to see about how much time there is before the email and the game starting, to know if I'd have enough time to place the bet.  I am obviously debating starting this, and I like the idea behind just your best pick being e-mailed.    I'll go back and check your record in this post.

thanks

Great questions!

If the Pick of the Day is not successful, every paid subscriber receives the next day's pick for free...no exceptions, no questions asked.  However, if that subsequent pick is also unsuccessful, anyone wanting the following day's pick would subscribe and pay for it via email in the usual manner.  It has happened that we have lost 2 in a row...not often...but it does happen.  However, our longest win streak is 13 consecutive days in a row and we have NEVER, EVER lost 3 in a row...so far over 2 years and counting.  That being said, you should approach your wagering as you would any other business venture with longer term achievable, measurable and sustainable goals.

Regarding the timing of the receipt of the email containing the Pick of the Day, some of the responsibility lies with you.  If you want to subscribe for the Pick of the Day, please do so at your earliest possible convenience.  For example, our most frequent subscribers subscribe for the Pick of the Day the previous evening after the completion of that evening's games.  They have developed a business model, either with or without our assistance, and they act accordingly without ever deviating from their plan.  However, some of our more infrequent subscribers, although we love them to death, are a little more fickle.  They skip days, they try to catch us on a hot streak or coming off of a mediocre streak and ride the wave.  These subscribers request the Pick of the Day as late as they can and unfortunately we often have to turn them away until the following day as today's window of opportunity has passed.  Anyway, assuming that you are reasonably timely with your request and payment, you can expect to have a minimum of 4 to 6 hours to place your wager before game time on every single weekday Monday through Friday.  Obviously, weekends are a bit trickier because of all of the earlier games.  That being said, we will only send out the Pick of the Day to paid subscribers on Saturday and Sunday if there are at least 2 hours remaining before the league's officially posted starting time for the game.  Long story short, a minimum 2 hour window to place your bet is generally workable for just about anyone barring unforeseen occurrences on the subscriber's part.

Lastly, we are always happy to review our full 2 year record with you via email but remember that our winning percentage is something that we can boast about but something that is ultimately absolutely of little or no value to you.  You should only be interested in net units won and net return on investment...both of which should be very positive given the right money management plan.

Again, thank you for your interest and for stimulating discussion within this forum and we wish you the very best of luck with all of your sports wagers.

abitbetter247@gmail.com   

Well, I e-mailed you for the free pick.  I am certainly interested since you haven't lost 3 in a row.  And I do like your advice of treating it like a business.  So good luck to you.

Ok, so here we stand on the cusp of potentially making personal (negative) history...we lost again tonight...and for those of you counting at home that's 2 in a row...and we have NEVER lost 3 in a row.

How we lost tonight's game is a whole other story...but you can't take it personal...you just move on and treat the loss as the cost of doing business.

Ok, let's indulge ourselves and take it personally for a second and talk about tonight's game.  Our line was NBA Toronto (-3.5) @ Boston for a potential payout of 1.909.  Ok so Boston had lost 9 games in a row, had just completed a desperation trade and was facing a much improved Raptors team winners of their last 3 games (all at home) in a row.  So what went wrong?  Horrible shooting.  Toronto went 12-25 for 48% from the free throw line!  How does an NBA team that employs professional athletes to contest its games shoot 48% from the charity stripe!

Ok, we're done venting...just know that we are working overtime as we speak on tomorrow's pick to turn this mini losing streak around.

Good luck to us all for tomorrow!  

I guess I picked the wrong day to play your first pick.  In any case I'll try again today.  Last night's line really looked like a "trap" to me, and I guess I was right.

Interesting service, might try you guys out at some point

I certainly will not divulge tonight's pick.  But it looks like another trap doesn't it? Hope I'm wrong, I'm rolling with you again.  Is there anywhere else you discuss picks, another board or anything?  I can ask via email if you want.

Nice play tonight.

Is there any way to buy picks in advance or do we have to pay the .005 each day?  I ask because I'm usually away from my BTC wallet on the weekends but would like to get sat and sun picks.

Today's Pick of the Day was NCAAB Tennessee Chattanooga (+2.5) @ Appalachian State which had a potential payout of 1.909.  Our research actually had Chattanooga winning the game outright which is exactly what happened as the final score was 80 - 70 in favour of Chattanooga.  However, we did not take the ML bet as we were on a 2 game losing streak and we were happy to take the points and increase our subscriber's odds of banking this much needed win.  In the end, our play was somewhat conservative but as we continuously mention, we will not gamble with anybody's money, least of all our subscribers' hard earned money, rather we will always opt for the sound betting line that is fully in line with our long term and sustainable business objectives.

Good luck to all and in particular to our modest but growing number of daily subscribers!

   

In answer to the question regarding paying in advance for multiple picks, we don't specifically offer or promote that option because it sort of goes against our philosophy of offering a daily service with no memberships or long term commitments required.  We love the fact that everyone, previous subscriber or not, is free to come and go and not subject to any prepaid terms or conditions.  That being said, all of our subscribers have a unique bitcoin address assigned to them which is linked to their email address through which they can remit their daily subscription payment.  Therefore, if a subscriber wants to prepay for a particular number of daily picks in advance, our administration will automatically manage the payment and send out the Picks of the Day accordingly over the prepaid number of consecutive days.  Should you wish to prepay for additional Picks of the Day for particular calendar dates that are not necessarily consecutive, we could manually assist you in that regard via email correspondence wherein you could specify the exact dates for which you are prepaying to receive the Pick of the Day.

Hope this message is of assistance. 

Today's Pick of the Day was another winner as NCAAB Canisius (+7.5) walked into Iona and posted a solid 85-83 win.  Canisius was up big early then flatlined late in the second half only to squeeze out the win in the final minute of play.  As we had projected, Baron was electric and did not disappoint scoring 29 points as he had every aspect of his game working for Canisius!

We appreciate the words of encouragement and the support that we continue to receive from our growing number of subscribers.  In answer to one subscriber who shall remain nameless, no there is no magic to what we do, just plenty of research, hard work, dedication and perseverance.

Every professional capper knows that this is a zero sum game.  You either win or you lose and we are not immune to the fallout either way.  Every day we either lose or gain subscribers as everybody's agenda, strategy and timetable for success differ.

But we wouldn't have it any other way!  We appreciate and we respect all of our subscribers and wish each and every one of them the very best of luck.  Come and go as you please with the knowledge that we will always be there doing what we love to do and what we do best!

Our Pick of the Day is always 0.005 BTC and can be purchased via email at abitbetter247@gmail.com.   

Picked a hell of a time to start following you...

Loss

Hope your pick tonight can do something amazing in the second half. Gl with a bounce back

Took the money line too because I figured you wouldn't miss the bet by more than 7 points. Wow what a pick!!

Well there it is folks...the Golden Sombrero! And for the very first time in over 2 years of capping, we're wearing it!

http://blog.thenewstribune.com/mariners/files/2011/04/sombrero.jpg

That's right everyone our Pick of the Day has been a LOSER for 3 consecutive days.

For subscribers who follow us and wager using an aggressive A-B-C series strategy, your C bet was a loser and you must accept your loss and begin a new series starting at A. For those subscribers following a more conservative A-B-C-D series strategy, your D bet is tomorrow.  Because we never lost a C bet before until tonight, it follows that there has never been a D bet before. This is uncharted water and not for the faint of heart. Stay the course and follow your plan if you have the stomach for it.

Streaks tend to extend themselves before everything reverts back to the mean. So for now, it's quite conceivable that things could get worse before they improve.  Stick to your plan!

We have a statistician and we have a baller and we know our stuff ( I know that this sounds laughable tonight) and we cap at a 2 year rate of 64%...verifiable.  More importantly we have a positive ROI because we net positive units.  Stay the course and things will invariably revert back to the mean.

Bottom line:

If you are someone who jumps off the band wagon when the future looks questionable... don't jump, LEAP now!
If you are someone who looks to ride the wave and follow an uptrend... you might want to hold off before following us right now!

By the way, either of the above-noted strategies will only net losses over the long term.  Don't take our word for it, check it out with anybody out there...anybody!

Lastly, if you have a plan and you are following it, stick with it no matter what, and this applies to those who are just starting out as much as it applies to those who have already realized sizeable net gains.

If your plan includes us, great, we will do everything in our power to assist you.  If your plan does not include us, that's fine too, just stick with it.

Good luck to all! 

By the way, we had narrowed down our Pick of the Day to Ohio State or Creighton...could have gone either way...the baller liked both but said Creighton all the way. The statistician demonstrated empirically why Ohio State had the statistical edge...so we went with the Buckeyes... 

700+ days and you never had lost 3 in a row?

THIS IS 100% A LYING SINGLE PERSON PRETENDING HE KNOWS HIS SPORTS. NO CAPPER CAN GO 700+ DAYS WITHOUT 3 LOSSES UNLESS BETTING -1000 OR GREATER FAVORITES. STAY AWAY!!!


There is no "team of experts" here. It is simply just someone thinking they can beat the house. Invest in American stocks, you'll earn far more of a ROI long term then you ever will from sports betting. Don't even try to say otherwise. The books have been in the business far longer then you have been alive. They know their stuff, you think you can create an edge, well guess what, you can't. Even if you find one for a small period of time, Vegas and books will see the flaw and move their lines accordingly. You can't win. It is a gambler's fallacy.

They say that any publicity is good publicity, but I'm not sure that the previous post is what they had in mind...lol

Setting the Record Straight

1.  We are in fact a small team of dedicated professionals who attempt on a daily basis to provide our subscribers with what is in our opinion the best betting line for that particular day.  We are not trying to beat the house, we are trying to produce a positive return on investment utilizing a safe, conservative and sustainable business model.

2.  We are in fact real people, brutally honest people, and we have often been told that we are perhaps too honest for our own good.  Of course there is no such thing as being too honest in business.  You either are or you aren't.

3.  To my knowledge, we have never made use of the word "experts" as there is in fact no such thing.  No surprise there.  But we are in fact professionals in own discipline.  Personally, I have over 22 years of managing financial, equity, and derivative portfolios.  As such, my role at abitbetter247 is the day-to-day money management and risk management of our investment portfolio.  Given my background, I do not therefore have any input whatsoever on our daily selection of the Pick of the Day.  However, I do not use the term "investment" loosely as sports wagers ought to be considered as investments that, when properly managed, can achieve significant positive returns on investment that can outperform traditional financial markets in the long term.  Collective individual sentiment can cause havoc in traditional financial markets that can never be predicted nor entirely avoided.  There is no such impediment in the sports wagering business.

Oh, and I'm also responsible for posting on this forum and communicating with our subscribers via email on a daily basis.  In this regard, I'm no professional, just a novice amateur doing my best to keep everyone informed.

4.   Over the past 7 calendar days, we have had 2 winners and 5 losers thereby matching our previous lows for 7 calendar day periods.  However, this particular week was in fact unique, because this was the first time that any 2 - 5 week has ever included 3 losses on consecutive days.

5.  We do not operate a website where data can be manipulated to serve our own purposes.  We operate strictly via email such that each and every Pick of the Day selection that we have ever made has been sent via email to a past or present subscriber thereby creating a time-stamped, permanent, and objective record of our overall performance that can be attested to at any time by such subscribers.

6.  On December 1, 2013, we decided to go public with our service, mostly through this forum, because we wanted to see if we could generate additional daily subscribers as we felt that our largely underground business had been validated after 2 years of continuous operation, and after yielding positive returns on investment over both of those years.

Bottom Line

If you have never subscribed to our Pick of the Day via email at abitbetter247@gmail.com we invite you to do so in order that you too can judge for yourself what our past and present subscribers have known from the very beginning.  Your subscription is daily with absolutely no ongoing commitments whatsoever.  One and done or in it for the long haul is fine by us either way.

If you are not interested or in any way skeptical, by all means please do as the previous poster so eloquently stated and run for the hills and stay away.

Thank you and as always good luck to all!  

Well, I guess maybe that's something to think about next time...go with the baller instead of the stat guy if it's totally 50/50.  You know, I'm sure Vegas has all the "stats" that stat guy has, but they might not have the "feel" or experience that the baller has.  I mean last night wasn't even close.

Is there any way you might be able to send out a "second" choice pick if you are ever split 50/50 like that again?  I like the 1 pick idea but if it's that close, let us decide if we want to go with your "best" pick or both of them.

Good points.  We've actually had previous requests for more than 1 pick per day from subscribers as we ourselves generally trade a basket of picks on any given day much like you would see in your average mutual fund.  In doing so, we grade the quality of each pick and try to narrow in on the likelihood of success thereby allocating different levels of risk to each particular play.  Perhaps if we grade 2 potential selections identically (no such thing but you know what I mean) we could send out both selections as the Pick of the Day with the caveat that the subscriber can choose to wager on either pick, on both, or on neither depending on their own subjective opinion and business model.  Certainly the failure to select Creighton as the Pick of the Day resulted in our first 3 in a row loss and this was particularly frustrating since it was given our highest risk allocation in our portfolio of picks for that evening along with the Buckeyes of course.  So while we essentially broke even on the Creighton win and the Ohio State loss (minus a bit of vig) the Ohio State loss left our subscribers at least 1 full unit down on the night and stinging from 3 consecutive losses.

Should you subscribe in the future please feel free to direct any specific requests that you may have to us via email and we will be happy to consider them.  As we've tried to stress over and over throughout this forum, we are focused on customer satisfaction and as a result we do try to over-deliver on our services whenever possible.

In any event, thank you for contributing to the forum and best of luck to you.   

Do you mean you'd like me to email you these suggestions, or are the previous posts sufficient for you to consider my thoughts (particularly on the multiple picks)?

No, no the forum is great...plus it's open to the general public to see so it's fully transparent.

I just meant that should you decide to one day subscribe, on the assumption that you have not yet done so since I have no idea what your email address is (which is how we track all of our subscribers), feel free in your subscription request for the day to be as specific as you want regarding what you would like to receive from us.  We make every effort to fulfill your requests.

Today's Pick of the Day was NCAAB Butler @ Providence (-5.5) for a potential payout of 1.892.  Providence won the game by 9 so we easily covered and more importantly we ended our nasty 3 game losing streak.  We actually doubled down on the game as this was a D bet in our current series so we can officially report that we are 1-0 lifetime on D bets.

So now we begin a fresh new series tomorrow so all subscribers should be placing A bets.  Let's see where this takes us...

Today's Pick of the Day was NCAAB Duke (-4) @ Miami Florida for a potential payout of 1.925.  Duke won the game by 21 so we easily covered again tonight for a second consecutive day.

Slow and steady wins the race.  Stick with your proven and sustainable business plan.  This is a nice start to this new series, all of tomorrow's subscribers should be placing A bets again tomorrow.

For anyone interested in trying out our service please email us at abitbetter247@gmail.com and we will guide you through the easy process.

Good luck to all!

What a difference a few days makes!

It's turkey time!

http://www.shirts4bowling.com/images/shirts/turkey-the-latest.jpg

That's 3 in a row as Tonight's Pick of the Day of NCAAB Florida (-4.5) @ Alabama for a potential payout 1.806 produced another winner.

Let's talk turkey:  If you want to grow your sports wagering results slowly, progressively and in a sustainable fashion, consider contacting us at abitbetter247@gmail.com.  We can help you put an appropriate investment plan in place.

The Pick of the Day...long term...it's a winner!

Yesterday's Pick of the Day was horrific and a loser but we rebounded today with yet another nice winner.  We have now covered in 4 of the last 5 Picks of the Day which is really setting us up nicely for a long, sustainable and profitable run through the end of the month.

December showed a really strong ROI and January is looking like it will close out profitably as well.

Email us at abitbetter247@gmail.com to get your Pick of the Day!

Good luck to all!

 

January has been challenging to say the least.  A tough loss yesterday left us at only 1-1 on the weekend, but we are trending higher having won 4 out of our last 6 as we look to close out the month with a positive ROI.

I've noticed your picks are all basketball as of late.  What are your picks like in the summer? MLB, something else?  Just wondering, thanks.

That's another great question.

Betting on MLB is absolutely your BEST odds at generating positive returns over the long haul for so many reasons:

1. As it gets closer to summer, it's low season for sports books so the vig gets lower.  It's already lower for MLB than it is for any other major North American sport...but it generally gets even lower.

2. There are no point spreads in baseball...it's a zero sum game...you either win or you lose.

3. Baseball is not a timed sport, so you don't get meaningless baskets, empty net goals or prevent defenses giving up meaningless points at the end of a game that mess with bets that otherwise would have covered.

4. MLB is much more predictable, particularly once you are 40 games into the season.  Make a note of your potential playoff teams after 40 games and you will see that little has changed after 162 games.

There are also countless statistical and other unquantifiable edges that a good handicapper will consider (that we will not reveal here for obvious reasons) that will give a really good handicapper an edge over a full MLB season.

So, in answer to your question...at the moment the NCAAB, NBA and NHL dominate the schedule, but come April the MLB will get a ton of attention... from us anyway.

Thanks for your inquiry and good luck!   

Tonight's Pick of the Day was NBA Los Angeles Clippers (-9.5) @ Milwaukee Bucks for a potential payout 1.917.  The Clippers won the game 114 - 86 thereby easily covering the spread.

We are now 5 for 7 over the past week as we look to establish a sustainable bull run through the end of the month.

End of the month runs are not unusual and, even though there is absolutely no logical explanation for why they happen, it's nice to see that this streak is slowly working its way to the upside.

Good luck tomorrow everyone! 

Well,let's be honest, 5 for 7 over the past week but it was 3 losses in a row before that. Since following you I've had:

Loss

15 days And under .500 (plus losing vig)
I'm beginning to lose faith in all honesty after tonight's spanking. Good luck going forward.

As much as we would all like to have the power, no handicapper controls the outcome of the game.  I got hammered last night on five plays pulled from multiple sources.  Sure the pick from abitbetter247 lost, but so did a butt-load of others.  I did, however, wake up this morning to an email in my inbox from abitbetter notifying that I would get their pick for today free because of the loss last night.  Only thing you can do?  Tee it up again tonight and hope the great invisible god of sports shines the light on you.

Keep up the good work gentlemen.

Well I agree, I just was hoping for something better than a game under .500 after 15 picks.  I'm not giving up yet, just bummed out.

Just a very quick reply to address last night's post.

January has been awful.  That being said, we are still 17-11 over 28 days.  That's a 60% win rate, +4.03 units returned, and a 14% Return on Investment.  And these are raw results only, assuming that you bet 1 unit every single night...which we do not advise.

Good luck finding a safe investment on Wall Street that is up 14% in January so far.  My background is in financial management for over 22 years.

More to follow on what a proper money management strategy has yielded so far this month.

Good luck everyone!

I think I just got in at the wrong time, relatively speaking.  I'm sticking with you and I understand your points, and they make sense, which is why I'm sticking with you.

This post will hopefully assist readers in understanding our philosophy.

Firstly, it's actually not just a philosophy; it's a blueprint, or a road map, or a business plan to generating a sustainable positive return on invested money.  The key here is that we ourselves are investors and part of what we do is provide investment advice to our subscribers. As such, we operate on the assumption that each and every one of our subscribers, however few or many there may be on any given day, are like-minded individuals who view sports wagering as a legitimate investment vehicle capable of yielding above-average returns over longer periods of time.  That being said, we're not delusional either.  Obviously, we welcome anyone's decision to subscribe to the Pick of the Day irrespective of their individual motivations.  It's just that as a subscriber, you have to ask yourself the hard questions.  Why am I doing this?  And we all know what our reasons are and, generally speaking, there is absolutely nothing wrong with any of your answers.  But, as a subscriber, you have to be mindful of the fact that your motivation and/or your goals may differ from our own.  In such instances, perhaps it is best to take a step back and decide that for whatever reasons our service is not suited for your personal objectives at this time.

Secondly, we gauge our success based upon our month over month net return on investment.  On the assumption that the typical calendar month has at least 30 days, we view every month where we record at least 20 wins to be a major success.  18 wins per month is the equivalent to playing 0.600 baseball.  I don't know how many teams will play 0.600 baseball over 162 games this year, but I do know that every team that does will make the playoffs.  That's because 0.600 is a benchmark for long term success and durability.  In other words, it's not a fluke.  Simply put, if we deliver our subscribers 20 wins in a month, we are also delivering them a significant positive return on their invested money.

Thirdly, while this may sound trite, we only invest money that we can afford to lose.  While we obviously don't want to lose, should the improbable happen and we lost 100% of our bankroll, we could just walk away and never look back.  For that reason, we will never invest, and we would never advise any subscriber to invest, more than 3% of your bankroll on any single wager and never more than 5% of your bankroll on your total number of wagers for any single day. Why?  Because no matter what, you need to live to fight another day.  If you lose your bankroll, you're out of the game.  That's our money management philosophy in a nutshell.

Fourthly, what about risk management?  Despite what you might want to believe, all bets are not created equal.  Even are own Pick of the Day will obviously vary in quality and likelihood of success depending on numerous factors, not the least of which is the variable number of games that are available to wager upon on any given day.  So how do you best apportion risk?  There are literally as many systems as there are investors and gamblers (we hate that word) in the world.  The short answer is that if you have your own system and it has worked over an extended period of time, stick with it, but be open-minded about tweaking it if you think that you can improve upon your overall results.  We employ a series system for our wagers, which wagers include the Pick of the Day as well as other daily wagers.

We hesitate to put this out there because everyone's financial situation and perspective on wagering is unique and as such our approach may not (won't) be suitable for everyone.  But because you have to allocate risk one way or another to each of your wagers, we ourselves have utilized the following system which to date has performed very well in even the most challenging of months:

We utilize an ABCD series of wagers. All bets are A bets and represent exactly 1% of our bankroll until we lose.  So we can have many A bets in a row: A1, A2, etc.  As soon as our A bet is a loser, we immediately move on to our B bet which represents exactly 1.5% of our bankroll.  There can only be 1 B bet because if we win we return to placing A bets but if we lose we move on to our C bet.  Our C bet represents exactly 2% of our bankroll and can only ever be placed after a losing B bet.  Again, there can only be 1 C bet per series of bets because we either win and return to placing A bets or we lose and move on to our final bet in any series of bets, the D bet.  The D bet represents exactly 2.5% of our bankroll and this bet can also only ever be placed once.  After placing a D bet, win or lose we always end the betting series and beginning an new series by placing our A bet.  We have found this system to be CONSERVATIVE, sustainable and generally impervious to the various streaks, good and bad, that occur over an entire month of wagering.  The system is not without its flaws but we utilize it as purely OBJECTIVE tool for allocating risk.  Lastly, there are countless similar Martingale style systems for apportioning risk that are open-ended that can only lead you down the path to nowhere and we caution anyone from falling into such a trap.  Bottom line is borrow someone else's system, create your own, but make sure it works, utilize it and never deviate from it no matter what.

And that is our philosophy for what little it might be worth.

Good luck to all!

The 60% figure is useless unless you mean on the spread.  I could easily bet on favorites, win 85% of the bets, and be deep in the red.

The only thing that matters is your capping ability.  If you're getting -110 odds on the spread, you need to be able to predict the winner of the spread > 52.4% of the time.  If you can do that, then great, you will make money.  If you can't, you will lose money, regardless of any silly martingale scheme.

The martingale scheme really isn't worth mentioning for the same reason that no betting system works on roulette.  What you should be doing is using the Kelly-criterion and betting more on games that you are more sure about, and less on games that are more of a guess.  It is important that your subscribers know that an arbitrary martingale scheme does not help anything.

Another loss today. Is there anyone who can voucher for their picks in the two prior years where they say they hit 64 percent?  The last 16 picks they are 7-9.

No. This is why they are a scam. They lie about their past results. Oh hey guess what? I went 64% myself last year! Spin some nice words here and there boom gotcha hooked  ;D

In their defense, they do bet on the spread so it could work for them.  Unfortunately they've been missing lately.

I just looked through the first couple pages, and it seems that they often buy points on the spread.  For example, they sometimes take the spread with something like 1.80 odds.  If they did that every time they would need to have a win percentage of > 55.6% in order to profit.  So as it stands, their percentage figure doesn't really mean anything.  The only thing that would show something would be a complete table with units won/loss.

edit: (bad math)

SCAM

Ok I'm usually a very nice guy who gives the benefit of the doubt but this is unbelievable. Today they lost again, this time by 32 points. Yes they missed the spread by 32. That makes 3 losses in a row.

This is the unbelievable thing. They say they haven't lost 3 in a row in 2 years. Suddenly they've lost 3 in a row TWICE in the last two weeks. Something stinks here and I don't know why anyone would follow them especially at their ridiculously overpriced rate.

Today's Pick of the Day was Murray State (-3) @ Austin Peay for a potential payout of 1.925.  Murray State won the game 96-88 making us winner's on the final day of January after 3 consecutive losses.

For the month of January we limped to an 18 - 13 record, which still makes us profitable on the month based on the system that we use.  Still it's a far cry from the 20 or more wins that we expected to get based on our performance over the first 2 weeks of January.

But, as my young daughter reminded me tonight, you can't win every night and we look forward to a great month of February!

Good luck everyone!

So I've followed you on the forum. And this game is not over but I'm watching VCU struggling. This would be three in a row and you've said you haven't lost three in a row in like two years. Then this happened twice in January and we have a big risk today for another three in a row lost. My question is, are you serious? What was different in the prior two years?  If you weren't betting major favorites (which you're not doing now) then it's basically indisputable that you are lying. At least be honest that you have sometimes lost three in a row, or more.

For the last time, the user is a scam. When he has subscribers his picks lose 50% of the time (he's no "expert"). When no one is subscribing to his picks, all of his picks win. Go figure. Thats how hes a lying piece of shit.

Wow. Wish I had known this. Did you have this experience as well?  What a freakin scam job.

Our apologies to our subscribers and to all other serious investors but it seems like our forum has been overrun by a couple of temper tantrum throwing twelve year olds who may have lost all of their lunch money on one of our picks.

We're 6 - 3 so far in February.  We're not satisfied but we're happy with the pace as we remain on target to meet our February objective.

Well the 6-3 record would be just great but you said you hadn't lost three in a row in two years then you've done it  THREE times in less than a month. It just doesn't make sense, what's your explanation???

What's amazing isn't just that you people fall for stuff like this over and over and over again, but it's how angry you get EVERY time.

1 hour to go until cut off time to subscribe to today's Pick of the Day.

Email us at abitbetter247@gmail.com to subscribe.

This is a scam.  Every pick when no one is subscribing is a win.  Then you subscribe and he picks under 50%, generally picking the biggest sucker bets on the board.  I am not the only person to see this and I gave him the benefit of the doubt, twice.  Just letting others know.

Today's Pick of the Day was NCAAB Duke @ North Carolina which was postponed due to inclement weather.

We are 7 - 4 over the first 12 days of February.

Bearing in mind that our business plan is based on sound investment strategies sustainable over the long term, the following quote from Warren Buffett is most appropriate: "I'd rather make 15% lumpy than 12% smooth".

Loosely translated for sports wagering purposes, this means that we would rather incur the odd ugly looking losing streak from time to time but cash in big on our winners than have a better looking win / loss curve that yields lower returns.

We generate positive monthly returns on investment month or month.

Email us at abitbetter247@gmail.com to find out more about our service and see for yourself why subscribers with long-term outlooks on profitability stick with our service.

Why do you post your pick after the game is over?  That lends zero credibility to your claim.

He said he hadn't had a 3 game losing streak in 2 years.  Then, after I subscribed, I've seen 3 (THREE) x 3 game losing streaks.  What a joke.  You can call it "lumpy" but there's no way your claim about not losing 3 in a row for 3 years is accurate.  Hence, this is a scam.

Yesterday's Pick of the Day was NCAAB Utah (-4) @ USC which paid 1.900.

We are now 8 - 4 in February with 1 postponed game due to inclement weather.

We are working towards another highly profitable month.

Yes, we lost 3 in a row 3 times over the past 2 months...that's 9 losses over a short period of time.  Despite those losses, both December and January were nicely profitable months for our long-term subscribers.

By the way, in those same 2 months we won 6 in a row once, 4 in a row once, and 3 in a row 6 times.  That's 28 wins, which far outweigh those 9 losses that keep being brought up...but nobody ever mentions the positives...that's just the nature of the business.

Yes, it is OUR business...email us at abitbetter247@gmail.com and we will be happy to answer for you all of your questions.  Our goal is to provide you the best INVESTMENT advice possible over the longer term.

If you are a short term gambler or thrill seeker trying to get rich quick, WE CAN'T HELP YOU.

You had all those "winning" streaks because no one was following you/paying for picks at those times ;)

Longest winning streak I saw was one 3 game winning streak, and I had 3x3 game losing streaks.

I'm just reporting the facts.  If you would like to start posting your picks after the games start, before they end, you can prove us ALL wrong, who think you're a scammer.

We have no idea who "wewen" is but we did not post the previous comment.
Today's Pick of the Day game is already in progress.

We also have no idea who the disgruntled "quone17" is who keeps bashing us.

 

Holy @#$%, who is doing this?  We are not "andhoe" and we did not post that last comment.  That was not the Pick of the Day, the game is still in progress.

Why does it matter who I am?  I've just been stating my experience with your "service," not "bashing " you.

Today's Pick of the Day was NCAAB SMU (-6.5) @ Rutgers which paid out 1.840 units.

We are now 9 - 4 for the month of February, including a much ranted about 3 day losing streak.

Who knows, we may lose 6 in a row someday, but longer term we are profitable month after month and we generate monthly positive returns on your investment.  Nothing more, nothing less.

Email abitbetter247@gmail.com to find out more.

If you want credibility, you should be posting your plays right after the game starts, not after it's long over.  Anyone can say "I bet on the winning side of that game that's finished".

Agreed 100 percent.

He will say "it's all verified because we email picks to subscribers". The thing is, he has no subscribers!!!

Today's Pick of the Day was Virginia (-4.5) @ Clemson and it paid out 1.877 units.

We are now 10 - 4 on the month.

It's still early in the day, so the first 10 people who email us at abitbetter247@gmail.com will receive a bonus pick for later today at no charge.  No restrictions, everyone including existing subscribers are welcomed!

Happy Valentine's Day!
