This is a grind. There are no shortcuts. Believe me. I’ve tried to find them many times over the last 6-7 years and they don’t exist.
I spend 30-40 hours a week researching fights, 6 days a week for the last 4-5 years. I’ve tweaked my system many times and it is constantly evolving. I’ll tweak my system after this period of losing too and ultimately it will improve our profitability.
It’s easy to criticize my processes during a period where we are losing, but don’t forget that my methods made it possible to make money betting on MMA in the first place. If you’ve signed up in the last few months, I’m sorry for your losses. But losing is unfortunately apart of the game and we’ve had to deal with some brutal bad luck in the last few months. It happens. This is fighting and gambling. They are two risky and volatile businesses. We are combining both of them. This is never going to be a smooth ride.
You can think I made bad bets as much as you want, but most of our losses this year are down to unforeseen things happening. If Lahat didn’t catch the flying knee, if Anderson would have applied himself, if Case would have lasted another 18 seconds, if Shoeface could have survived till the end of the round, if Conor would have fought like he normally does, if Thatch would have performed like he did in the Benson fight then all these bets probably would have won.
This is an unpredictable sport and of course all of those bets could have gone those ways on any given night, but for all of them to go the way they did in a very short space of time is pretty brutal and we’re still only down -25 units for the year. I’m pretty happy with that. It’s easy to call each of those bets a bad bet based on how the fights played out, but if you go back and research them like I did you’ll probably see that I made the right call. Everybody is an expert after the fact, but you can’t predict how guys are going to show up and perform on fight night. A lot of guys haven’t fought to their full potential this year and it has cost us.
Things can always be improved, but ripping apart my methodology with the benefit of hindsight isn’t very helpful.
If you doubt me, please leave the website. I’ll refund every dollar in VIP Memberships you’ve ever paid and you’ll never hear from me again.
If you want to make money, please stick around. I’ve learned over the years that a -25 unit swing is nothing to be worried about about. It happens. We’ve bounced back from worse losses in the past and this time will be no different.
95% of people will never make money in Sports Betting or Online Poker because they don’t have the mentality to deal with losing. Don’t be a statistic. Ride out the storm and stick with us. You won’t regret it.
