Bookie is just an abbreviation of the term 'Bookmaker', i.e, an organization that accepts bets and may pay winnings depending upon results of the sporting event such as soccer, basketball, baseball, etc.

Question 2

Do I need many bookmakers accounts to do sports investing

Accepted Answer

No not at all. This is not arbing where you need a lot of accounts. Just choose 1-2 best bookies that support all sports and all bet types, offering best odds and stick to them.

Question 3

What is handicap (point spread)

Accepted Answer

If there is a single handicap, the entire bet is resulted after the score is adjusted by the handicap.
For example, consider the following bet offer;
Mexico +1.5 goals
Portugal -1.5 goals
The handicap for this game is Portugal -1.5 goals. If Portugal wins by at least 2 goals, bets on Portugal win. If Mexico wins, draws the match, or loses by exactly one goal, for betting purposes the bet on Mexico wins. Some handicaps will be whole numbers (i.e. 0 goals, +1 goal, +2 goals). If a bet ends in a tie after adjusting for the handicap, bets 'push' and the stake is refunded.

Question 5

Do we need to buy points

Accepted Answer

Yes, sometimes buying points especially for sports like NBA, NFL is crucial to be profitable long term. Make sure your bookie allows to buy points for these sports

Question 6

What amount should I bet

Accepted Answer

Determining your bet size, you must choose an amount small enough to withstand a losing streak, yet large enough to make a sufficient return on your bankroll.
We usually advice new members to bet 1% fixed size each bet. You can do it two ways:
a) Conservative approach: you risk 1% of your bankroll each bet
b) Aggressive approach: you risk to win 1% of your bankroll each bet
This means you will be laying more than 1% if the odd is low. Use this standard bet size as the amount you wager on each pick during the season. As discussed above, don't change your bet size based upon the number picks that week or recalculate your bet size each week - it should remain fixed.

Question 7

Do I need a big bankroll to start

Accepted Answer

No, not at all. You can start with as low as $100 or $300 but for serious sports investors we suggest that you start at least with $1000 for higher profits

Question 8

4 -1 or Team Totals, what to do

Accepted Answer

Just open one more account for this type of bets in other bookie or simply ignore them.

Question 9

Can I get limited/restricted in bookies and how to avoid it

Accepted Answer

a reputable bookie from the ones we listed above and keep much more than you withdraw regularly, in the bookie balance.
For example If you started with deposit $1000, but now you withdraw $800 or 900 a week, you will most likely get restricted. If you have $75,000 & withdraw $2,500 month you would last much longer. Keep you balance much higher than your withdrawals. If you follow 100 unit bankroll you will be ok. Use at least 4 books not 1. Mix it up don't invest on 1 book everyday.
Treat it like sports investors do and you will be fine.
