Good day to y'all

I added the odds i found on Bitbook.biz
Apart for the last game, don't know where you found this game

Please add the odds and maybe where you placed your bet so that people can follow you and know what price they should expect in case of line variations.
Cheers man

Stayeduptolate:
I'm taking they're singles?
If so this is what i have. Can you tell us how much is at stake for each game?

Athletic Bilbao   ML   -151
Atheltic Madrid   ML   -197
Roma                   ML   -405

If you've combined some games let me know.

Saif92:

Making it easy to track, that's very nice!
If i can push it a bit further and ask you to add the odds for each team of the parlays, that'd be absolutely perfect.


Parlays

 Atletico Madrid ML (1.507 / -197)
Granada vs. Atletico Madrid
 Villarreal ML (1.465 / -215)
Villarreal vs. Getafe
 AS Roma ML (1.247 / -405)
AS Roma vs. Chievo
Combined odds: 2.753 / +175 (1/175) (I don't count the returned stakes, i simply put the net profit form the bet)

Singles

La Liga
Atheltico Madrid -1.5  +156 (0.05/ 0.075)

Serie A
AS Roma -1.5  -122 (1/0.819)



I don't think we need to specify the whole game everytime, as long as we know what sports we're on about (soccer NHL NBA etc etc), which league we're talking about (La Liga, EreDivise, NHL, MLS etc etc) and get the complete name of the team (NY Islanders, Real MAdrid, NY knicks, etc etc)

So maybe post all future picks like this

SPORTS DATE
COUNTRY/LEAGUE
COMPLETE TEAM NAME, TYPE OF BET, ODDS, STAKES

ie

Soccer 28/10/2013
German League
Bayern Munich, ML, -500, 500BTC

Seems like this would be the most efficient way of posting

Sent you a pm.
Once we get this spreasheet up and running, i'll make it available to whoever wants it.
Now for all my betting wisdom, you can find most of it in the following wall of text. I do accept tips :-)

14HH2Uc6oJevTWFJ5Ash6sgnKKZyBRtBk3

If you really wanna make money consistently by betting sports, you need 2 things:
1- A bankroll dedicated to sports betting (A sum of money that you will not need to do anything else. You want to keep your betting money separated from all other expenses. If you pay your bills with the profits ffrom the Yankees game, stop betting right now, you got more important things to do with your money, and also, you'll never be able to grow a significant BR if you keep nibbling at your winnings)
2- Keep an exact and accurate record of ALL your bets.

1- What you wanna be doing is betting a very small portion of your bankroll on any event. I usually go the 1% route.
That is to say: on each bet you wager 1% of your bankroll. No more, no less. No bet is a lock, someone who tells you "this bet is guarateed to go through" is lying to you. He might not do so with evil intentions, but he is lying to you.
For in sports betting, there is only one thing that is for sure: There is no certainty whatsoever. And this is how the bookies are making money.
That and Parlays. Stay away from teasers, parlay and other accumulator. Returns seems so huge you'll tell me. Well, those bets are the bread and butter of bookies. Ask your friend around, write down the games they're betting as accumulator and write down the odds for every individual game, and the odds for the accumulator itself. Crunch the numbers for a while and you'll see it for yourself.

The great thing about the 1% trick is that you can virtually never go broke. For each bet you win, the 1% is getting a bit bigger. For every bet you lose, it becomes smaller. Say you start with 1BTC as a bankroll. you lay 10 bets  of 0.01on the first day. you win all 10 of them. You now have, to keep the math simple, 1.1 BTC. Your unit is now 1% of 1.1BTC or 0.011. Doesn't seems like much. But in the long run it does add up. And sports betting is all about the long run.

This is why you wanna bet 1% and not 10%. When you bet 1%, you'll have time to find out if you're any good at this as you'll ahve more than 100 bets from your bankroll. If you're not good at this, you can still have a bankroll and have fun betting. No harms in that. If you happened to be good, well that's great, but you might have had a rough start. Losing 10 bets in a row isn't that rare of an occurence. In any sports, you'll have ups and downs. So give yourself time to pull through by being able to negociate rough patches. Bet only 1% of your BR at a time.

2- You do not want to be lying to yourself. In sports betting, and gambling in general, you are your worst enemy and your best friend. So make sure you stay friendly with yourself and track every bets as if your taxman was on you (and he will if you live in a country where gambling profits are taxed. You wanna make sure to pay your taxes, and for this you need a record as accurate as possible, you wouldn't want to be paying too much taxes, would you?)
A simple Xcel spreadsheet will do, a notepad file is good enough too, you can take screencap from your bookies, keep all your dockets from the bookie if you betting in a brick and mortar facility. Whatever the way, just stay honest and organised to track your results.

Whatever the reason you're doing it, be it for making profits, or just for fun, only gamble money you can afford to lose. Do not gamble above your means, even if according to Slimy Samy, "this bet is a lock, put your life savings on it".


Hope that will help some people looking to get into sports betting.

If you want more info on sports betting or gambling in general, feel free to let me know. I'll do my best to write content you might find interesting.

Yeah I can't keep this thread updated on top of the many other things i have going outside the virtual world :-) I still take time to track my bets and i've made a NHL spreadsheet available to who might be interested.
Best of luck

Yeah it looks to me like parlays are key to get in the black in this thread. I'm a single bet man myself, and i was all excited when i saw 60 to 70%  accuracy But got quickly back to reality when i started tracking some bets. Then again the sample i tracked is tiny so no definite conclusion should come out of it, but hints can still be extrapolated from the data i collected.

If you want more info on my viewing about sportsbetting, i have a thread i opened in the marketplace in the service section (probably burried deep enough by now) where i give the method i follow when i bet.

If it's alright with you Stayeduptolate, i could copy/ paste here the points i developped in my thread. This is only the strategy i use and not a sure way to make money. Tho i have been profitable overall, sportsbetting is no science and money is NeVeR garanteed. So only bet with money you can afford to lose. Even better, when you load your wallet at the bookie, consider your money lost. This way, ain't no bad surprise when you actually lose it.

You should include OT on your NHL Bets pretty please :-)
If you think this is a valuable idea, i'll be glad to take 1% share as a gift
Seriously tho, not including OT in your bets (even on the other bets, i think i only saw it once) is losing you some customer. I know i'm not getting you my NHL action as i can't have OT in my bets.

Best of luck for the future

Also maybe a Suicide Pool promotion, or anything of that effect will attract customer and generate some action. I like the variety of sports offered on your site tho. Underground soccer leagues, Darts, Snooker. Me gusta :-)

Hey Leancuisine,
Would you mind posting the odds for each bet, and also how much you betting on them? This would help display an accurate record of your profits.
Hope you made money yesterday, i went 2-2 for a total profit of 0

Hello guys, I've been following this thread because i'm pretty sure there is some value to it. However the main drawback i can spot is that the records kept in this thread are not complete.
In order to get the real feel for what's going on, the best thing to do would be to list your bets with the odds you're getting and detail how you're combining your bets in parlays and how much you bet on each game/ parlay.

That is if you want to keep an accurate record. This would definitely shut down people throwing bad vibes in this thread.
Too much action is taking place here for me to track everything. I've been tracking some bets from different people around here, and without parlays, i can tell that, over a sample that is too small to be significant, most tipster here are in the red if every bets to be considered a single bet. Now that could well be a bad run, or just that if you do not parlays picks, you'll end up in the red. It's a matter of bettin strategy.

I'm mostly advocating for more details in the betting pattern (odds and strategy) in order to be accurate if you want a proper tracking done.

Thank you to all tipster in this thread anyway as you're all keeping it up in the front page, and doing a great job providing entertainment.
If you want a tracking done properly, you can send me your complete bets and odds (I'll set up some presentation rules for convenience sake, and i'll fill in a google spreadsheet very much like what i'm doing at the moment for my own picks)
Pm me with your email adress and we'll see what to do.

As much as your efforts to promote your site are appreciated, i think the 5btc win screenshot offer needs to be tailored. I mean, the guy winning 5btc in one day probably doesn't care much about 0.02btc. However the guy winning 0.5btc will be more inclined to post his screenshot of a winning bet.
If you want to entice the 5btc winner, give away 0.5btc. If you want to entice the 0.5 winner, give away 0.05.
I'm getting to use your site, I hope we'll be able to get going much and more.
Take care.

Loooks like you bet a lot on sports! If you're looking for a second book to compare odds and shop for the best lines, have a look at Bitcoinlivebet.com
Remember to manage your bankroll properly and to stay safe with the money you're betting (i.e. if you need it to pay elecricity bill, you better off not betting this money). I've posted a few more guide lines to sports betting on my own thread that you can read if you click here

Good Luck all

Hello all,
I've been off line for a good while and it's hard for me to find the time to post all my picks around here.
If you're interested in some sports picks, I will provide to who wants it a mailing service with my picks for free. A sportsbetting picks newsletter of some sort. I've been working in real life to provide such picks at a modest cost so i won't have my picks published on a forum anymore. If you receive my picks and feel like tipping me a bit i won't go against your gut. Just do it
For more freepicks i strongly advise you to have a look at this thread updated by Stayeduptolate and other people where you can definitely find a reliable source of picks for free.

Now remember the 3 rules of sportsbetting:
-Get a bankroll separate from your everyday money that will only serve to bet and split it in 100 units. It's conservative but this way your money will last enough to have some fun for a while if you ain't good at this.

-Consider this Bankroll lost. Yes, that's right. Do'nt expect to win. Everything on top is gravy.

-No pick is ever a lock. Everything and anything can happen in sports, that's why bookies are making money, that's also why you can make money.

Special offer: 4th rule: Write everything down, it's the diffference between science and messing around.

Good luck all and make sure you contact me to get my list of picks emailed to you whenever i see some value. I keep a google spreadsheet that i update regularly to keep tracks of my bets. Ask me for the link and you shall receive.

Best of luck to all.

Received. Thanks.

Yeah you get 0.00003000 free if you enter a captcha. Enough to get started :-)
But if Stunna wants to offer more i'll take some for sure

Updated daily.

I know waqas, i've posted these late, i couldn't do otherwise. life is hectic at the moment so i couldn't even post the other picks last week.

Those two bets were wins. Brings my total as follow

Washington             -165 (bet 1.65 to win 1) win
Washington over 5.5 -140 (bet 1.4 to win 1) win
+2 units

YTD: 7-6-0: -0.19


I got a smartphone now but never tried to post from one of those yet. hopefully it will make posting here on time easier.

Have fun lads

Well, things are busy enough. Hard to keep up. Hopefully i won't have to be away for so long.

Here you go for tonight lads
Washington             -165
Washington over 5.5 -140

Yeah i couldn't spot much value yesterday, i should have taken a look to Stayup too. His record is impressive! I should go have a chat with him i suppose :-)

I added a link for Bitcoinlivebet.com in my signature. I received BTC 0.01 to get this link on my forum signature.
I shall use this 0.01 BTC as a bankroll for my sports betting venture.

Now here is some Bankroll consideration to apply in this case.
As this amount is quite small, I will take greater risk than i would usually. Indeed, if i split this BR in 10 units, the odds of me busting eventually are quite high. However, it should be noted that 0.01BTC is a BR that i could easily replace, shall i bust.
Hence, as i know for a fact that i will be able to replace this BR instantly if i bust, i can take greater risk in order to get a higher reward.
Technically, if i assume that i'll split this BR in 10units, that means that the real BR i have in mind is 0.10BTC, 100 units= 10* 10units= 10*0.01 btc.

So here i'll be placing bets of 0.001btc (or bets that will return 0.001 BTC if i bet on underdogs) as my default unit.

As i'm now using 2 bookies, i shall specify where i found the best odds and where my bets where placed.

IF you happen to have any question about sports betting and how to manage your money, don't hesitate, i like talking about those topics a good bit :-)

See you tonight for some bets hopefully.

Received. I'll surely try a bet tonight :-) I have to check the product i'm advertising after all.
