MONEY MANAGEMENT
IMPORTANT: Like all forms of investing you MUST be sure not to risk more than you can afford to lose. If you are going to bet on sports, SIMPLY AND HONESTLY know your bankroll. It is extremely important to set aside a certain portion of your money for betting and follow our money managment system. Professional gambling can provide much quicker gains than almost all other investments but should not be treated as a quick cash game and we must stress that the long term capitol gains are what we are after. Risking all of your bankroll on one a single game is foolish, reckless, and creates desperation. A desperate gambler chases loses and always ends up in debt.. Much like the stock market you must diversify your portfolio and protect your investments. Spreading your wagers out, and following our handicapping advice you will certainly make a profit in the long run. Remember, there are no 100% guarantees on who will win in this business and any team can lose at any given time. Remain diligent and your profits will always continue to grow.
FAVORITE TEAMS AND GUT FEELINGS
DO NOT: GAMBLE WITH YOUR HEART. Check your emotions and feelings at the door. We are here for profit not pride. Here at Proprofit Sports there are no favorite teams. We can't stress this enough. One of the biggest mistakes a sports bettor makes is taking their favorite team every game regardless of the odds. If the lines aren't in your favor proceed with caution. Casinos and sportsbooks set aside large lines for these types of bettors and the risks are factored in, just waiting for your foolish pride to take over. Even the great Yankees don't end the season in perfection and believe me the loses can be unbearable.
PARLAYS-TEASERS-SUCKER BETS
USE EXTREME CAUTION. While it sounds great to parlay 4 games for $500.00 and a $6000.00 payout, you must realize that the odds are greatly stacked against you and we are here to put the odds in your favor so please don't work against us. If your betting large dollar amounts the difference in odds translate into a huge difference in your payout. Some books will have juicy odds on parlays and teasers to tempt you. But you are smarter than that. Proprofit Sports will occasionaly jump on oppurtunities and use these forms of gambling for maximal gain but never wrecklessly. Again no bet is a "sure bet", but we have ways of tipping the odds in our favor.
Why sell our picks?
Many of the principal owners, sports handicappers, analysts, and sales representatives have been commonly recognized by sports books and casinos alike as consistant winners and there for forced to hide identities to place wagers. With such a vast recognition it has been both time consuming and exhausting to place these wagers and we find it easier to profit from individual bookmakers, casinos, and sportsbooks through our wide range of clients. Aminimity has become our greatest allie. While we still wager on our own premier picks we think you get the point.
Proprofitsports personal guarantee
Proprofitsports is unlike most handicapping sites in that it personaly guarantees you come out a winner. How do we do this? Simple-we dont get paid unless you get paid. We are so sure you will be satisfied that we won't ask for any percentages until after you have secured your winnings and you will. After all, its not your money your donating its the houses. Initially we will ask you for a deposit based on our money management system and won't collect again until we have made that initial investment back for you plus a profit. Its that easy.
