Bob McCune on Baseball Betting 
An important article by Bob McCune, adapted from his classic book, Revelations In Sports Betting!

AUGUST 2011
 Day-by-day detailed record of August, 2011
 ///

     For illustrative purposes we risk a flat  '100' on all bets. We recommend 'flat' betting, risking the same on all bets, and risking 2% of beginning bankroll per bet.....Lines here are from www.pinnaclesports.com and/or www.canbet.com and/or www.thegreek.com at the time we handicapped games. We accept NO revenue from any sportbook. Be sure to shop for best lines.


Number of bets in August, 2011 = 171 conclusions plus 6 ties

Risking 2% of August 1 bankroll per bet = bankroll grew 21.2%

(August 1 bankroll at $5,000 = $100 risked per bet = $1,061 profit)
(August 1 bankroll at $10,000 = $200 risked per bet = $2,122 profit)
(August 1 bankroll at $25,000 = $500 risked per bet = $5,305 profit)
(August 1 bankroll at $50,000 = $1,000 risked per bet = $10,610 profit)
