One of the most important things a betting system needs is a goal. Most people don't ever establish a goal with their betting hence they are not regular profitable players. Similar to investing, many people don't have a gameplan or a goal so they just go with the flow. Without a goal what do you do when the results go bad in the short term, and what do you do when they are going good. Well the old saying in investing is you should buy low and sell high, well if you are just going with the flow you end up doing exactly the opposite. A real goal and a real game plan allow you to avoid such things in investing and in sports betting.

To establish a goal you should establish how much money you want to earn from betting. Start yearly and work backwards, so lets say you would like to earn 12k a year profit betting sports. That breaks down to 1k a month. That only breaks down to $250 a week, and only $50 a day if you go 5 days a week. Some days like Fridays and Mondays, this time of year, their are fewer games than lets say Saturdays or Sundays. So $50 profit, 5 days a week will earn you 12k a year. Then you must establish how much you need to bet in your betting system to earn that $50 at a %60 win ratio. Although all you need is 55% to earn a profit, you need 60% to earn real money.

You bet $50 a game, how many games do you have to win to make $50. Technically 1 more game than you bet per day.

At 1 game a day that equates to a 100% win ratio if you bet 5 games per week
At 3 games in a day that equates to a 66.6% win ratio if you bet 15 games per week
At 5 games in a day that equates to 60% win ratio if you bet 25 games per week

You might be saying "what about the juice?. I am betting $55 to win $50.". Since you are paying a constant juice and don't get a discount for volume, it doesnt matter how many plays you do. If you are doing that many plays, you might want to shop around for the best deals on that play. In other words, 1 bet at $110 is the same $10 vig on ten bets at $11 unless you find places that offer less. Taking that vig out, bottom line you would probably need to be able to handicap about 15 to 25 games a week at a 60% to 66% win ratio to be able to make $12k a year betting $50 a game.


If you are willing to bet more you can make more, if you think you can get a higher win% then you can bet less. However it is important to be realistic, and be mindful of your bankroll. If your bankroll is $500, this is not possible, so start off with $25 a day of total bets and work your way up. If your bankroll is $5000 then you can start with $250 a day of total bets so it is possible for you. What we found is that a realistic goal is to make double your bankroll a year fairly easily. So if your bankroll is $5000, then a real simple and attainable goal is to increase your bankroll to $15000 by the end of the year. Then maybe go for 15k next year to get it to 30k. By the third year you can be making 50k a year and up starting from 5k. Its not get rich quick, but if you want that lifestyle its attainable with some guidance, discipline, and commitment.
