As my name indicates, I produce TV and radio and now YouTube videos. Here's a gambling 101 series I'm doing with my cohort Tony George.

More coming (#2 is rendering right now).

Primarily targeting the football betting audience. 3 1/2 minutes

Nice videos.

There is some money to be made in sports betting but as you said you got to pick the sportsbooks' weak line. And they will adjust it quickly, so gotta be fast.

i think the chael sonnen v shogun line was interesting how sonnen was favorite at first and then slowly shogun became favorite because of so much money being put on him, the bookmakers won big there cause most bet on the loser, i even heard wanderleigh sivla bet 100k on shogun to win lol :) there is money in sportsbetting, but its a art and you have to be knowledgeable certainly not easy all the time to be a consistent winner, i would be interested to learn about bankroll management in sportsbetting

Have you ever bought picks from the site?

Besides what sportsbooks do you bet on?

This particular site does not sell picks, but the cappers who provide content for it do at their personal sites. I myself have never bought, but I have access to so much inside info there is no need for me to. But I'm pretty okay on my own, IMHO, and will even argue with these guys and be right at least half the time.
It's very much like poker in quite few respects - BANKROLL MANAGEMENT is key. You have you BR and divide that into "units", or wagers (like poker buy-in) and you would like to have 100 to operate with.
You will spew money if not extremely disciplined.
One unit per game - sometimes 2 on the "sure thing".
You are going to lose, but if you can win 58% you are in the money.
It is a game of information - if you have no information you stay away.
Example - I really wanted to bet Houston Monday night but had zero info on San Diego so I had have the discipline to stay away. The Texans did not cover.
Guys will specialize in certain conferences so its easier to manage information rather than try to do it all.

Keep an eye out at lockerrompicks.com for new videos I am producing every week (hopefully 5 each week with free picks).

I would change the bankroll betting limit to 5 percent for holdem instead of the 20 as shown in the video. It is informative, especially segregating your betting funds from your living expenses.

Please pass the info please lol...

I have no "inside information" but I try to spot when the bookmaker is out of line.

Videos are at the website Thursdays through Monday.

Much of the content on the site is from premium pay for it packages that these handicappers offer. One guy just sends his subscription sheet stuff to us and let's us pick whatever we want (as long as we don't pick everything). I'm looking at it right now. It's almost like reading a Bruce Chen poker book - the guy is on a whole nother level.
