Congratulations! You hold in your hands a book that is guaranteed to help you win more and lose less at the betting window. How do I know that? Because my football email readers have used the methods detailed in this book to win money consistently year after year for over a decade now without a single losing season. In order to win, you may have to change some of your sports betting beliefs. You may have to alter your approach to handicapping. Don't worry. It's a piece of cake. I'll walk you through it. Here's the Secret: The key to winning is math, plus common sense. Math is required to identify key numbers, to make your own line on every game, and to take advantage of betting odds that are in your favor. Common sense is needed in order to sift through all of the sports betting nonsense currently being promulgated across the internet. Believe me, there's a ton of it. Common sense also comes into play when analyzing games. At least five times every season, a game comes along that makes absolutely no sense; a game that the vast majority of sports bettors fail to capitalize on, because they fail to apply common sense. The Week One game between Jacksonville and Houston to open the 2021 season is a good example. Jacksonville opened as a 1-point road favorite and the game was quickly bet up to -3. What didn't make sense was that Jacksonville had a rookie head coach and a rookie quarterback, both in their first NFL start. Neither one had ever won an NFL game before and Jacksonville's rookie quarterback had yet to throw his first NFL touchdown pass. Despite that, the point-spread was asking them both to not only win an NFL game - something neither had ever done before - but to also cover the number. In addition to that, Jacksonville went 0-8 on the road the previous season. It had been over a year since they had last won a game away from home, yet here they were laying points as a road favorite. Can you see how absurd that situation was? It made absolutely zero sense. Yet sports bettors bought it. Money poured in on Jacksonville like there was no tomorrow, and it wasn't just public money either. The so-called sharps were on Jacksonville too. Everyone involved with the game, both sharps and squares alike, threw common sense out the window and bet the game like it was free money. Meanwhile, my football email readers and I took Houston as one of our top games for Week One and they won by a score of 37-21. Emotional Poise So math and common sense are your two top requirements when it comes to betting football to win. Is there anything else one needs? Yes, and it might be the most important factor of all: emotional poise. Emotional poise consists of maintaining a calm emotional state no matter what the circumstances; never feeling too high and never feeling too low. Especially too low. Emotional poise is closely related to money management and we'll discuss that in detail in an upcoming chapter. Are you ready to start winning? Great!
