Gambling Books - Read to learn

Gambling books are an often underutilised form of gambling knowledge. There are plenty of them out there, and I challenge any punter to read one and NOT learn something that they can apply in their gambling or sports investing.

Look to get into it.

Every new member

Every time we get a new client at professionalgambler.com.au we get a little bit excited.

Excited that you will win money. Excited that we have a new believer. Excited that you will stop losing.

Just excited.

Rocking and rolling with the punches.

Week 20 of 2012 sports investing is in the books. Nearly half way there for the year. The ups and downs continue - there is nothing surer.

Round 13 of AFL betting. What's on offer?

The last week of the bye rounds are here up us. Thats cool for sports investment - we can go back to basics with a full 9 round weekend.

We have been struggling, and the struggling continues as far as AFL is concerned. We will have a few hits soon enough

 

 

The Black Caviar Betting Post

We gave out a strong betting proposition on Black Caviar, and only those who do not have a betting account could take advantage of the Black Caviar "double odds" bonus. 

Some rare generosity from the bookies ... there must have been something in it for them!

The shocking run

All investments have their down periods. We are suffering through one right now with both AFL and MLB battling away at the minute for our service.

I know things will turn, but while you are in it you feel like you can't see where the next winner will come from. Don't worry, this is normal. Ride it through and stay strong.

Wrap up for Round 12 AFL

Round 12 AFL has been and gone, with the professional gambler team struggling to make an impact with our speculative positions.

We move on, and as we know, we tend to make pretty good comebacks.

Week 19 on the blog.

Week 19 of sports betting is in the books. We are battling away and treading water at the moment, waiting for those bumper weeks.

When we finally get those +150 unit weeks we can take a couple of steps forward. In the meantime we practice discipline.

Swans/Geelong and we take the draw

Friday night game at the SCG. Geelong play the swans at Skilled and we have a totally different sportsbetting market.

A real ripping start to the game from the Swans so far, up 7 goals to 1.

New Look Blog

Our new look blog "soft launched" today.

Hope we can get it looking as good as we hope. Will be much better for us all.

Betting Golf and Making Money from it.

When betting PGA tournaments, Statistics and Angles are your best friend.

Statistics - such as scrambling, putting yards gained, greens in regulation percentage and so on all contribute vital information about player performance - that when combined with qualitative assesment of the players - angles - gives you your adjusted number. This is the number you need to bet with.

PGA Golf finishes up.

US Open golf has been and gone, and we had a losing tournament. Our position on the last day had us risking 31 units and we fell short.

Had this bet had won, we would have found ourselves in a winning position. We move on.

The Proposition Bet

Always great for a punt, the proposition bet consists of "propositions" funnily enough, that pay out significantly larger that a usual pointspread or standard moneyline bet.

In afl betting these consist of points brackets for teams, such as 1-39 points, over 40 points and so on.

Can the Lions salute tomorrow at +51.5 points?

Not given a chance to win means we can claim +51.5 @ 1.952 in most sports betting markets about the lions.

A position we will consider as we run through some numbers

The Adelaide Crows just plain old fall in for money line backers, but not us

This Adelaide team ... Guys, when 30 points up, why wouldn't you ice the game, instead of continuing to run the ball up hell for leather? 

Posession football anyone? For the sports investors out there, you are killing us! lol

Week 18 in action

Baseball betting is a beast unto itself. MLB teams can both score heavily, or put up 0's despite a great average on paper.

Best to take it with a grain of salt. Keep going with it though, it is one of the most profitable games.

Go billy brownless - Geelong legend.

Round 11 AFL passed us, and the bye for 6 teams meant we were 3 games of AFL action short this week.

We covered round 11 at the blog - taking a look at the available lines. 

Old school Billy.

Round 11 was short and sweet - AFL betting

AFL betting in round 11 was short and sweet. Two shots, one nice result, and one average one. We will finish ahead for the round which is nice.

Lately, the MLB betting focus is taking up more and more time. But AFL still presents great opportunites and cannot be forgotten. Round 10 betting results are at http://professionalgambler.com.au/2012/06/10/round-10-afl-2012-in-review-%E2%...

Hawthorn get home in Adelaide.

Are they the real deal?

Hawthorn with another nice win away from home. Depending on what the 'Pies do tomorrow, outright favouritism might be just around the corner.

 

sports betting live... Australia lagging vegas

In las vegas, the ability to bet live is incredible. Each pitch of a baseball game has a huge amount of markets, each snap of the NFL ball the same.

It's the brainchild of a US brokerage and investment bank that is in partnership with casino's, offering up markets created by cutting edge finance software.

Here's to live betting getting this exciting down in Australia.

Great Gambling stories

Will probably do a post on this aspect of gambling - the great gambling story.

Every gambler has one. Full of excitement, reward and luck.

13 Goals and Three upsets for AFL round 10 2012

Buddy Franklin was on fire this week down in Launceston. For sure you can't keep him down for long. Anybody who was investing on the Hawks had no dramas.

Fremantle a little more up and about.

Over in the west, we liked Adelaide head to head. Just going to win they were. If only the price had the equivalent value for being in the west... instead the betting line showed $1.67.

Can't bet that as a selective sports investor.

Good to see that Fremantle showed some more grunt and effort. Even managed to kick a respectable score.

Richmond fire away and land a small plunge

Richmond were betting favourites by the time tonight's game against St. Kilda kicked off. The team is really up and about and is starting to hit targets regularly under pressure and play brilliant attacking football.

Great for the AFL at large. And great for betting.
