Lucky Sharp [January NHL]

LuckySharp · Jan 1, 2019

Hey guys,

New poster here, who has been betting on sports for over fifteen years. I have been wanting to join and post my picks for months now but I am a very disciplined handicapper who follows strict money management and who sets goals for each year - so I felt it was best that I hold off until the New Year. I'm happy to be here and i'm looking forward to getting to know all of you in this upcoming year.

2019 Plan:
The goal, every year, is to win 55% of our wagers at -110 odds in an effort to double our starting bankroll.

· Starting Bankroll = $5,000
· Expected Profit = $5,000
· Finishing Bankroll = $10,000

All wagers are to win 3% of our starting bankroll / therefore $150.
If you choose to follow, please note that you can use a larger or smaller bankroll, as it fits your financial needs. Simply divide your starting bankroll by 33.3 to determine how much you should be betting to win on each wager. Ie. With a $1,000 starting bankroll, you would be betting to win $30 on each wager as 1000/33.3 = 30.

What to expect?
Regular Season:
Projected Wagers = 500 / Projected Win % = 55% at -110 odds / Projected Profit = +82.5 units or +$4,125
· NBA = 150 (6 per week, Monday-Saturday, skipping a week)
· NHL = 150 (6 per week, Monday-Saturday, skipping a week)
· MLB = 150 (6 per week, Monday-Saturday, skipping a week)
· NFL = 50 (3 per week, 2 in week 17)

Systems / Tournaments / Playoffs
Projected Wagers = 100 / Projected Win % = 55% at -110 odds / Projected Profit = +17.25 units or +$825 units

· MLB Systems = 55 wagers (approx.)
· NCAA March Madness = 10 wagers
· NCAA Bowl Games = 5 wagers
· NBA = 10 wagers
· NHL = 10 wagers
· MLB = 5 wagers
· NFL Playoffs = 5 wagers

Each week, on Sunday, I’ll do a recap of the past weeks results and a preview of what to expect in the upcoming week (number of picks + goal for the week)!

What to Expect in the month of January:
55-56 bets (25 NBA + 25 NHL) *One pick, per sport, from Monday-Saturday (two days of no picks per sport)!*
+ 1 CFB Bowl bet and 4-5 NFL Playoff bets.

Thanks hacheman. Skywalker,

For my MLB System wagers, I use a combination of three systems that I have personally developed (which have been back-tested 15 seasons, have a ROI above 10% and have profited over 300 units overall during that time). However, they only make up approximately 55 of my 600 wagers each year. The remaining 545 wagers come from my daily forecasts of the available qualitative and quantitative data as it relates to sport (statistics, injuries/lineups, stadiums, referees/umpires, weather), to human nature (thoughts, feelings and actions of players/coaches - through interviews, twitter and from analyzing the players/coaches as they interact on the field/court) and through the betting market (trends, media narratives, betting data, line movements, public perception) in order to recognize market value.

It would be impossible for me to to explain exactly how I handicap each days card, as this has been a process in which i've developed over the past 15 years. I could place more bets and risk less units per wager, but the strategy of picking the best bet on each individuals sports card for that day (NBA/NHL/MLB and up to 3 NFL wagers) is the strategy that works best for me. It allows me to discard games that don't meet my criteria and focus my time and energy on the games which do.

I hope this helps. Good luck tonight!

Skywalker, I am actually from Hamilton - about 30 minutes west of Toronto. I typically tell Americans I am from Toronto, as they rarely have heard of Hamilton.
