ITG's sports gambling corner

[itg_sports]

From twitter last night.

Matt Lindeman ‏ @lindetrain "Need confirmation from @ITGlife, but if I'm not mistaken, the road dogs I love so much have been flat out brutal in MLB so far..."

Well according to my records (yes I am logging ever MLB game this year *smh*) here is what I got.

Home teams @ -175 or higher are 9-5 (64%)

Home teams @ -140 to -174 are 3-13 (19%)

Home teams @ -101 to -139 are 37 - 12 (76%)

So if you like playing short road dogs you are just getting absolutely killed right now.

Overall the road dogs are 30-49. If you are smart enough to dip into that -140 to -174 pool exclusively you should start selling your picks.

I picked out 9 home faves (from -107 to -136) and 1 road dog (+149) last night based on these results and made very small wagers and went 8-2.

Oh yeah I also went 1-6 on totals.

Tonight I asked on twitter who would want to be on a sports betting team. The response was unreal. I'm gonna make it happen...and soon.

A sports betting team? What kind of team?

Check out my latest entry at ITGlife.com. I'll be posting a lot more details over the next two days over in the tout zone in the ITG Sports Investment Network thread.

[Beyond the Bets]

Okay, I'll check it out here in a bit. Thanks.

[itg_sports]

Also posted over in the Tout Zone which will be one of the homes of this thing.

The ITG S.I.N.

This thing is gonna get going here pretty quickly. I am going to use this thread for some updates, record keeping, to post plays etc. All plays will also be posted and tracked at ITGlife.com.

For all prospective members of the network. Anyone can join but a certain level of performance will be expected. I hope to communicate and build a relationship with you all.

While I build relationships with you a big part of this deal is to also build relationships with the people who will be following all of these picks. If you decide to join up please see it through. If you decide you do not want to continue on please do not just flake out. Shoot me an email and let me know so I can give you a graceful exit.

Also everyone who is a part of this will be required to show a certain level of respect to each other. If someone is on a bad run lets show them support. All of these picks will be free and I am sure that the bad runs will catch a little flack from people following so I want everyone involved to do the opposite and build each other up.

I will keep track of everything and help you build your credibility. If you win I will bust my ass to get your name out there.

I am going to start my contact with those who have showed interest thus far tonight.

After the mess that has been chronicled over in the other part of the forum with Covers Experts this deal is going to be a breath of fresh air.

[itg_sports]

We are starting a test run on the Network over the weekend. Here's hoping that it doesn't just blow up in my face. I think it might end up being a pretty cool concept if it works.

I'll keep everyone updated.

[itg_sports]

I know no one cares with the Zito and Harrison threads running full steam but the ITG team went 31-22 yesterday.

[Beyond the Bets]

We still care.

The ITG Sports Investments Team
(also posted in the tout zone)

At last check the Team was sitting at 25-29. It is looking like 3 out of 4 days will be losers.

I can't say that I am surprised. I have read that only 1 or 2% of sports bettors are successful long term.

I do want to say that props are due for all team members because they have all of their picks out there, posted and tracked, for anyone to see win or lose.

The end game for this deal is to find a select group of guys that are willing to stick with me and offer their picks up to be tracked as they continue a winning and profitable place.

Then we will have, as far as I know, the first spot where one can find a group of tracked and winning handicappers posting their picks without a cost.

I'd be better off asking BTB to ask his grandma who she likes.

I am totally ok with you tailing picks.

[Beyond the Bets]

Continue to keep us posted in this thread. I predict epic failure, but you never know, you guys might surprise me.

I don't tail. At least never more than maybe once a month. I can't stand losing knowing that I lost because I got lazy. And, if I win a tailed pick, it doesn't feel like any kind of accomplishment.

I hope they don't fail in epic fashion. They are all frequent visitors of this website so that would mean they didn't learn anything!

I made sure to let the guys know about the "epic failure" prediction. I am hoping a little bulletin board material will help out.

[itg_sports]

35-33 yesterday.

[itg_sports]

So much for bulletin board material. 37-52 yesterday. I will say that tracking the picks of 40 guys is pretty interesting. I feel like I am getting a good look at the mind of your average sports gambler. Several guys are still in the black though and the best of the bunch will rise to the top.

Then its on.

[itg_sports]

39-22 yesterday. I'll have all the records and bankrolls updated at ITGlife.com today. 111-107 total record after 3 days (+6.00).
