What is Fun
by Dennis Ranahan
I wish it could be easier, more fun, but instead I’ll settle for the profit.

Earning money while investing in National Football League point spreads requires strict work regimens that interfere with how most view sports betting … for fun and excitement. On a late Sunday afternoon that fun might include yelling from the end of the bar that you’ll “take two dimes” of action on the Broncos.

All night the result might hang in the balance, and the entertainment value is high. But how you got on the Broncos or their opponent that night makes all the difference. If Denver wins for you with the ‘right before kickoff’ wager you can celebrate. But, if you had been on this game from an investment perspective, you would have wagered on the Broncos hours earlier when you received your Sunday selection sheet.

Early Sunday morning, an “investor” in point spreads would have been checking lines in search of the best numbers to wager on their selections. A gambler might have been tied to the excitement of wagering on the Broncos because the contest was on television. For the investor, the Sunday Qoxhi site includes edges on whether to wager on a game at the current line, or wait in anticipation of a better number closer to kickoff. Finding the best number is tedious work, which is in direct conflict to a gamblers first desire; fun. But, from an investment perspective, finding the best number can only enhance a wager and comes into play 7% of the time. In other words, 93% of the time the work of getting the best point spread doesn’t affect the outcome, but when it does, the better line always wins.

Both bets on the Broncos won, but one had the luck of a gamble and the other was part of a business plan that included the Broncos victory. The luck of the gamble was going to be employed by the happy gambler at the end of the bar, while the Qoxhi Account Manager only generated a point spread position based on the strength of the elements that dictate edges. If the Broncos that night hadn’t had the attributes the Qoxhi staff is looking for, it wouldn’t have generated a wager.

Wagering for fun routinely includes action on all the primetime games. An investment discipline, utilizing any of the five money management strategies offered on the Qoxhi site, requires diligence to keep your Account Manager accurate to your actual point spreads, vig and wager amounts. The Account Manager prompts exact wager amounts based on your declared opening account balance and selected Money Management strategy. There are five strategies available online; Basic, Aggressive, Top Pick Double, Top Pick Aggressive and Top Pick Exclusive.

The Basic strategy is recommended for most first time clients based on ease of operation. All wagers are based on the opening account balance, so the amount wagered on a four rated game in September would be the same in January. The aggressive strategies base wager amounts on the current account balance, so wager amounts will most often vary week-to-week. Top Pick Double and Top Pick Aggressive styles emphasize the one game each week that Qoxhi determines to be the Top Pick.

In a typical season, the Basic Strategy will generate a profit margin between 30 and 60 percent, while the methods that emphasize the Top Pick can realize bigger gains when the season results on Top Pick selections meet or exceed the 41 year history of Top Picks, a winning percentage of nearly 70%. Last season, both the Top Pick Aggressive and Top Pick Exclusive strategies more than doubled opening account balances with 105% and 127% gains respectively.

Most sports information services will entice new clients with get rich schemes and the prospect of breaking their book. Like anything that actually works, success is not pinned to the advertising slogans, unrealistic claims or the idea that it is all fun and games. Profits from sports wagering are generated the same way they are in any successful endeavor, with solid information and the discipline to execute a bright business plan.

Bottom line profits are seldom realized from wagers made on a Sunday afternoon from the end of a bar. Yet, while employing a proven money management strategy that fully capitalizes on Qoxhi Picks, season long profits are routine.

By the end of a season, clients most often find that the discipline employed to earn bottom line profits is a lot better than having fun while losing money.
