Shifting Odds in Your Favor

 

Our odds reversal method is the second key to the formula. To jump on the winners side (and stay there), you have to find a way of beating the bookies at their own game and trying to achieve a win rate of 75% to 80% is not the solution since it’s virtually impossible to do so over an extended period of time.

 

Bookmakers are very smart and know that most of their customers have no plans and are short term minded. Every betting day is a new adventure for them and their only reference is: How were the previous day’s results?

 

The way the odds work is that for you to make money with a team that is favorite, you have to put up more than what you can win. By that, we mean that for a game with odds at -150 (UK 4/6 EU 1.66) for the favorite, you have to put up $150 for a potential profit of $100.

 

So, people thinking that winning 50% of the time is fine are off track. One win out of two with odds at -150 as an example, will leave you short of $50 and 2 wins out of three won’t have you making $200 but only $50!! Even with a very good 67% winning record, you’re still only making $50.

 

The odds reversal method you’ll be learning only needs you to be right one time out of four, yes, only 25% of the time. We have our own way of assessing the teams, selecting them and placing wagers in a certain way that allows us to always be profitable.

 

That’s the only way you can beat the bookmakers at their own game. You just have to be wiser than they are and this means pretty big money for you. We’re now up to being able to generate the best picks in the industry using our proven algorithm and we can beat the bookmakers by using the odds reversal method.
