 Sports Handicapping And Money Management - Part 4

One difference between the previous card game scenario described in Part 2 of our Sports Handicapping And Money Management series and sports wagering is that while there was only one betting event at a time at the card table, there will quite often be multiple sports investment opportunities available at the same time.

After determining that 2-5% of current bankroll is the PRO INFO SPORTS “Peak Profit Percentage” to wager per event as detailed in “Sports Handicapping And Money Management - Part 3″, we resolved the question of how many such events would be financially prudent to wager simultaneously. It was calculated that putting to work up to 25% of a bankroll at one time on a consistent basis offers the greatest potential for compounding profits without being unnecessarily risky if enough worthy investment opportunities are available.

Due to the sharp sports odds put up by the linesmakers, the majority of selections will be made from the lower half of the STAR RATING SYSTEM scale. We use this to our advantage by employing the multiple lower-rated selections as hedge investments against the few higher-rated selections and vice-versa. The Money Plays that risk a higher bankroll percentage are properly balanced by the more numerous lower-bankroll percentage investments. The following gaming analogy demonstrates the importance of such a strategy:

Don’t Lose Your Marbles

Imagine 7 barrels, each containing 1000 marbles. The first barrel has 600 marbles marked “WINNER” and 400 marbles marked “LOSER”. Each successive barrel has 10 fewer WINNER marbles and, thus, 10 more LOSER marbles. The last barrel would have a slimmest majority of WINNERS (540) and highest number of LOSERS (460).

As in sports handicapping and gaming, the object for a player is to win as much money as possible in the shortest amount of time by wagering on and selecting WINNER marbles.

To truly imitate wagering conditions we must also stipulate that the bettor is allowed incrementally more wagering chances with the barrels that contain a higher percentage of LOSERS. We can use the Peak Profit Percentage principle to determine what the proper bankroll wager would be for each of the barrels, which is what we have done with our STAR RATING SYSTEM; however, the question remains of how many bets to make on each barrel.

The proper PPP on the barrels with 60% WINNERS should be wagered as often as allowed by the rules; however, while there is a 60% chance that the first marble selected from that barrel will be a WINNER, there is also a corresponding 40% chance it will be a LOSER. If a total of only 10 marbles are allowed to be taken from the barrel, 60% of them “should” be WINNERS; however, 10 marbles out of 1000 is a scant 1% sample and any combination of WINNER and LOSER marbles is quite possible.

To increase the chances of drawing the same percentage of WINNERS as actually exist in any of the barrels, a higher number of marbles must be drawn. If the number of marbles allowed to be selected increase successively from the barrel with 60% WINNER marbles to the barrel with 54% WINNER marbles, so must the wagers. If 900 marbles are allowed to be selected from the barrel containing just 540 WINNER marbles, a winning advantage very close to 54% is nearly guaranteed.

The greedy bettor will “play the lottery” with only the few marbles he gets to select from the barrel with 60% WINNERS and hope he gets lucky with high bankroll bets. This is like a sports gaming investor who only plays a highest-rated play or 2 each week.

Meanwhile, the risk-adverse bettor will wager the minimal amount on all of the marbles and have to be satisfied with a very small profit. This is like a sports gaming investor who will only play a very small percentage of bankroll over many games each week.

The balanced investor will implement the best of both strategies, using the proper PPPs to make higher bankroll percentage wagers on a select few games and lower bankroll percentage wagers over a greater number of games.

This balanced investor stands the best chance of showing the biggest profit over the shortest amount of time because of the lower-rated selections acting as a hedge against the higher-rated selections and vice-versa in case one of them does not return a profit. Utilizing our Peak Profit Percentages and STAR RATING SYSTEM, this is precisely what the PRO INFO SPORTS Money Management strategy is designed to do, and why it is important for clients to invest in all recommended Money Plays at the recommended bankroll percentage.

We feature up to 10 Money Plays per investment “session”. Some days we may even have more than one session, such as a Saturday with early, afternoon, and late college football and basketball games. As previously stated, on days with a very limited schedule, we try to at least offer an Opinion Selection with the usual comprehensive sports handicapping information, analysis, and advice if no investment opportunities are rated high enough to be a STAR SELECTION.

It must always be remembered that handicapping sports and wagering is to be approached In a professional manner. Sports handicappers and investors must be mentally and emotionally prepared for the ups and downs that will occur simply due to the laws of averages that are inherent with any type of investing. We are supremely confident that putting our Money Management strategy to work with our sports handicapping information, analysis, and advice will be a rewarding and enjoyable sports investment venture for those using our Sports Handicapping Services.

Handicapping Sports Injuries
By Jerry Fox

 We take all factors into consideration when handicapping sports investment opportunities for our sports handicapping services, including injuries. We also strongly recommend clients give these significant elements a final check for any late-breaking developments prior to wagering, by reviewing our Injury Reports.

While it is important to be aware of and to consider injuries when analyzing games, PRO INFO SPORTS contends that the general sports gambling public often over-reacts when a star player is out of a contest, providing solid investment opportunities for us to deliver to our clients.

Linesmakers usually adjust the spread several points to compensate for an injury to a big-name player to invite a balance of wagers on both teams. Frequently, we will form a strong contrarian opinion in such situations for several reasons.

First of all, there simply is not as big of a talent difference between the 1st and 2nd-stringers as the public perceives. College reserves are former high school stars, while pro reserves are former college stars. They come in fresh, rested, and eager to “play, perform, and prove” their value.

Secondly, the other players on the squad can usually be counted on to pull together for additional concentration, execution, and teamwork. They know that they have to perform at a higher level in their star’s absence, they don’t want to let the hurt teammate down, and/or they want to show that they are more than a “one-man team”.

Finally, their opponent may well be ill-prepared emotionally for the game, thinking they can relax and knowing the challenge of facing the other team’s star player is not there.

These factors are most prominent and under-valued by the public gambling on sports in the first game missed by an injured star player. The handicapping value is lessened in the succeeding games if the injury is prolonged. The lines are re-adjusted resulting from the solid play by the reserve and teammates, opponents not overlooking them, and the eventual physical, emotional, and psychological let down of the team with the injured star.

Besides star player injuries, unit injuries are a very substantial consideration that we take into account when handicapping games. Having 2 or more “non-star” players from one unit of the team injured is usually much more detrimental to a squad than if a single “superstar” is out. While not many public star football players toil on the offensive or defensive lines, a team with a hurting and depleted line unit may not be able to run or pass the ball effectively, or be able to stop the other team’s attack, especially if the injuries play into their opponent’s strength. An example would be a high-powered passing team likely having great success against a team with a hobbled secondary.

These injury principles are generalities and all factors must be considered when analyzing sports investment opportunities, but the monitoring and scrutinizing of these situations and circumstances are examples of how PRO INFO SPORTS gains a significant handicapping advantage and uses the information to help determine the strength of certain selections according to our Money Management strategy.
