| ShootingBets |
| Dropping Odds Alert Service |
| Receive telegram alerts when prices drop on the sharp sportsbooks. You then get a short window of opportunity to back the old, higher odds on soft bookies who are too slow to change their odds lines. This does work, but your soft bookie accounts will get limited eventually. If you have the time, the will and the energy, then this works. I made 1k on it before my account was closed. Great service! |

My Story
We know that some people consistently make money from sports betting. We have heard the stories of bookmakers banning users who win too much or too often. We can read on Betfair of the Premium Charge and we know that some people are paying it. All of this has made me certain that there are working betting systems out there. I have spent years researching different systems and in all cases I needed to backtest my theories. I was often limited by the data I had and my ability to analyse and process it with Excel. But when I found the Betaminic website, my data-entry, number-crunching days were over. What had previously taken me days of fiddling about with downloading data packs, editing formulas and linking database files to check just one theory could now be done in minutes with Betaminic and its Betamin Builder Tool. It was a big data geek’s dream. I used to think backtesting with 1,000 games was enough, but now I can access much more data. How much data exactly? Over 250,000 matches since March 2012 in 111 leagues. I was able to create my own strategies that found what betting methods had worked for the past 14 years. This gave me a promising start. There were also many shared strategies created by other users that I could follow or adapt myself. I could spread my risk among several betting strategies.
The next question that comes to those that have a working system is how much to bet and with what staking plan to use in order to maximize the profits of their systems while managing risk levels to avoid losing their betting banks. When I googled staking plans, I could find reviews of various staking plans, but none of them had really found a way to compare a large number of staking plans in a meaningful and equal way. This is what led me to research staking plans myself. I wanted to find the best money management tactics to maximize potential. There are a variety of staking plans out there and each staking plan has a number of settings that can be adjusted that make it an almost overwhelming challenge to analyse and truly understand which is the best plan for a system. There also comes the question of when to make withdrawals from your betting bank and take some of the profit out of your system without destabilizing it. In addition, we have to check if the staking plan will work in the future if our system produces similar results. The Staking Plans Book seeks to compare staking plans and their variations in a new and innovative way. I do this by reducing the essence of the staking plan to one key question and display that as numbers which can be ranked and easily understood “How long until this staking plan doubles my bank without increasing risk?” It is meant to make it easier for people to find the right staking plan for their system based on their risk level. For ease of analysis, I alsobreak down betting systems into 7 types based on their odds from low odds favourite systems, through evens 50-50 systems, up to high odds long shot systems. In this way you can instantly compare the research and ranking tables to your systems if you know which type you are using. Also, I introduce the tool I use to analyze staking plans, The Staking Machine (TSM), and show you how to use it for deeper and more accurate research into your own systems if you want to.
Once I had multiple betting strategies and different staking plans to go with them, it became more and more time consuming to place the bets each day, calculate the stakes, track the bets, and less time to research new strategies and monitor the performance of my existing ones. I investigated various bet automation bots and even looked at getting a custom bot created. In the end, I found the Bf Bot Manager, and it did what I wanted and offered even more functions that I had not even thought of.
Big Data Betting requires a disciplined adherence to the long term plan of following your chosen strategies with staking plans. This can take the rush out of betting for some, but I have found you can get a similar enjoyment from researching new strategies in Betaminic and the Bf Bot Manager while your portfolio of active strategies follow the main plan. Since I switched from gambling on my gut feelings to betting on the data, my results have improved enormously.
