Bob McCune on Baseball Betting 

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

DECEMBER 2011
Day-by-day detailed record of December, 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 December, 2011 = 112 conclusions + 1 tie

Risking 2% of December 1 bankroll per bet = bankroll lost 4.6%

(Decamber 1 bankroll at $5,000 = $100 risked per bet = $231 lost)
(December 1 bankroll at $10,000 = $200 risked per bet = $461 lost)
(December 1 bankroll at $25,000 = $500 risked per bet = $1,155 lost)
(December 1 bankroll at $50,000 = $1,000 risked per bet = $2,310 lost)

To visitors and non-subscribers:

One difference between full-time bettors and amateurs is their number of opinions. Keep in mind, the goal is to make money, - not necessarily to tally a high percentage of wins. Professionals are only incidentally concerned with winning percentages, - the goal is to make money. As strange as it may sound to non-pros, a 60% (or more) winning percentage against "11-10" bets over the long term is actually too high! A pro will usually pull the trigger if he thinks he has about a 55%-or-more expectation of winning. See our article Winning Percentages for a fuller explanation. In short, please compare our profits - not our percentages - to judge our value. We try to maintain a winning percentage of at least 55%-58% against "11-10" bets, including as many plays as possible.
          
NOTE: A betting 'unit' is NOT the amount one hopes to win, but the amount put at risk. When risking 110 to win 100, the betting unit is 110, not 100. The amount won when risking 11 to win 10 is 91% of a unit, not a full unit. This can make it appear here that we win less than we actually do. To "keep score" above, we risk "100" on all bets, (as in 100 PERCENT). If you're varying the sizes of your bets and risking different amounts on different bets - as most amateurs do - it is costing you money. (This is one of the reasons we do not pay to be involved with sports monitors such as BIG GUY Sports, which requires risking different amounts on different bets. When we resigned from BIG GUY we were Number One ahead of more than 60 other competitors. It was an excellent way to promote ourselves, but it is BAD ADVICE to consistently vary the size of your bets.)

NOTE: We tend to be underdog bettors against moneylines, so our winning percentage tends to be less against moneylines than against 11-10 bets, but our return on investment is often higher. Be aware that whether we're betting on moneyline underdogs or favorites, the amount we risk is exactly the same, - one unit. For example, if our betting unit was 100, we'd risk 100 to win 67 on a -150 favorite, and we'd risk 100 to win 150 on a +150 underdog. It is important to not 'jiggle' the size of your bets. Check our Index of Articles to learn about this and other important differences that can make all the difference between success and failure.

    We DO have losing streaks! Effective money management is extremely important. Remember, too, we are after profit...NOT necessarily a high winning percentage. We often recommend the moneyline on underdogs getting points. This lowers our winning percentage but often offers more VALUE.  And when we like a favorite we often lay the points, which also brings down our winning percentage but often increases our PROFIT. Moreover, against "11-10" bets with the break-even percentage at 53%, we "pull the trigger" whenever we believe we have at least a 55% expectation of winning. In other words, please track & compare our PROFIT, not our winning percentages. (Daily results are posted in the far left column above, based on risking '100' per bet.) Compare our long term profit to any sports service in the world. Don't believe claims of past results and don't believe so-called 'monitoring services.' In today's world, anyone can post their plays like we do. Make them do it. Our goal is to offer an honest "positive field from which to graze." We do the work anyway; whether you're a pro or a successful part-timer why not come along? This is a great way to make money!
