Cash with Flash Best Bets has been on a few terrific heaters since the column began this past September. Those runs have been terrific and we’re happy that people jumped on the train and hopefully increased their bankroll.
Cash with Flash Best Bets has had some rough days as well. Sadly, some joined up during the end of the heater and wound up with a few losing tickets
Hot streaks come and go and considering the real fact that even the top handicappers in the country get forty percent of their picks wrong, knowing when to hop on and off the train is imperative for successful sports betting season.
The Flash has a new book out called “Betting Baseball 101: Winning at the Sports Books and Daily Fantasy Baseball” and we’d like to share an excerpt from Chapter Three of the book.
Track Record is Important
This is probably the most important thing to look for in a sports handicapper. You obviously want someone who wins more than they lose and you want them to be able to prove it.
Most handicappers on the internet have links to spreadsheets of all their picks and willingly provide this information for anyone who asks.
Betting slips are nice but can be altered and therefore not as trustworthy as a link to a website and a corresponding spreadsheet with their picks.
Obviously longevity is important but the handicapper in question should have records dating back to at least one year if not more. They should be able to provide a success rate with a minimum of 53 percent for an entire year. If they can’t then maybe this is noise better off avoiding.
Handicappers will need a 52.4 percent success rate just to break even on -110 bets and the best way to examine how well a handicapper is actually doing is the number of units won or lost in correlation with his or her winning percentage so be sure to ask for both.
What does all that have to do with following a handicapper on a hot streak?
During our latest Cash with Flash Best Bets NBA heater, a friend told me he had a “feeling” our streak was about to end and rather than continue riding the train, he hopped off and saved himself some money as our streak ended with a 1-3 NBA night.
Our friend knew the good times were coming to an end because he tailed our column and understands that our normal success rate is sixty percent.
He then went with the percentages, used the law of averages and realized that an eighty-percent success rate was unsustainable and decided to take his winnings and wait for the next hot streak.
This is the way you are supposed to follow a handicapper. It takes some discipline to do this but in the long run its the best way.
Cash with Flash Best Bets is well aware how difficult it might be for a new subscriber to do this but wouldn’t it be better to spend a month watching and learning who is who instead of catching the end of a heater and winding up losing because the law of averages caught up to the handicapper?
Cash with Flash practices a fixed unit betting system and doesn’t offer “unit” suggestions as we wager one unit per contest no matter how much we like the game. This is why we share our record for the previous day and how we are doing each week in every column we publish.
For a detailed look at all our picks, Cash with Flash Best Bets welcomes you to inspect all our picks, available by clicking this link.
In part two we will discuss what to do now that you have vetted one of more handicappers, how to follow their picks and hopefully build our bankrolls based on their advice and picks.
