If you guys want to keep proper records I would honestly suggest that you set up a units system to keep track of how many units your up/down? As a side note do you suggest to bettors that they should flat bet each game or have differing wager sizes?

Both great points that warrant proper thoughtful responses.

Firstly, in respect of implementing a units system we do have a proven track record that is based on a units system.  Secondly, our background is in trading financial markets for over 25 years so as you can well imagine we have tried and ultimately discarded more systems than we could ever mention here that range from the most conservative to the most aggressive Martingale systems imaginable.  The true test of the worth or value of any system is in understanding how it withstands the test of time over many years so as to ride out euphoric gains and devastating bubbles, corrections or crashes in financial markets or the hottest and coldest of winning streaks in sports wagering.  That being said, we recommend flat betting each and every one of our single daily picks and subscribers would be wise in attributing between 1% and 2% of their available capital to each such bet and no bets per day should ever total more than 5% of your available capital regardless of who you might be following or relying upon for guidance.  While we recommend only one pick per day, we do sometimes find a few picks that meet our initial criteria in which case we must scrutinize these picks further in order to ultimately retain only the very best pick.  In such instances, we do wager on each and every one of those picks each and every day for previously discussed reasons so you can well understand how the size of such wagers would be extremely conservative in respect of our overall available capital.

Lastly, to briefly touch upon our units system, yesterday's daily pick was likely a push for most subscribers depending on which sports book you may have utilized such that you would be flat on the day (1 unit out and 1 unit returned = net 0).  For those who may have gotten yesterday's pick in the win column based on the +3.5 line you would be up on the day (1 unit out and 1.724 units returned = net +0.724 units).

We will definitely start posting our net units won/lost and you can always choose to follow us on Twitter at @abitbetter247 where we will also start making such information available.  We will likely only go back to the start of this month as these statistics are more readily available for potential subscribers to scrutinize whereas historical data (which we do record meticulously) is apt to be considered less reliable by the skeptical general public.

Again, thank you for your comment and we hope that we have satisfactorily addressed your comments albeit in this shortened and abbreviated response.

Best of luck to everyone for today!

Today's pick was NCAAB Ole Miss (+3) at Kansas State with a potential pay out of 1.724. KState won the game 61-58 which for us was a push.  The line moved from +3.5 to +3 for us by the time we placed our bet but hopefully some of our subscribers got the better line and the win.

All in all we managed a small gain as we placed 4 bets going 2-1-1 on the night. Ironically, the 2 bets that we chose not to take we're in.

We're already working on tomorrow's lines and we look forward to a great day for all of our subscribers!

You should require subscribers to sign a message using the address they paid with, or use a different payment address for each subscriber.

Otherwise, someone could potentially sit and wait until your address gets a payment, and send you an email saying they sent it.

Thank you for your comment.

So far, we have asked subscribers to include in their email the wallet address from which they sent their payment.  For security purposes, some subscribers have chosen to provide us with the first few letters/numbers and the last few letters/numbers of their address as a means to identify or authenticate their payment.  Truthfully, we have not as yet been inundated with so many subscribers that would make it difficult for us to confirm the origin of the payment or the identity of the subscriber.  The inclusion of a message with the payment might be helpful and something that we will consider implementing for sure.

Thanks again for your interest.

All bitcoin transactions are publicly visible on the blockchain. Send BTC from any address, and see for yourself.

While it has not been a problem so far, I totally see your point.  So what is the best solution?  We certainly don't want to expose our subscribers in any way.  Their loyalty to us and our guarantee of the security of their transactions is integral to our success   Your input is greatly appreciated and respected.

We have received a few questions from subscribers and potential subscribers alike so we thought that this might be the appropriate forum to fully set out our services and the process we follow.

Firstly, each and every day we are constantly reviewing all betting lines trying to select the very few opportunities that pique our interest.  We carefully review all potential opportunities and weigh them against our very specific criteria.  Very few opportunities make our short list.  From that short list, we then go on to conduct still further analysis before ultimately selecting our pick of the day.  As an example, yesterday there were 3 picks that made our short list.  We wagered on all 3 picks and as luck would have it, all 3 picks happened to pay out.  However, our wagers were very small and they were made for a variety of reasons.  Sometimes we like to test different sport books, sometimes we like to explore different strategies but ultimately we feel that we need to place some form of wager on our picks in order to validate our selections.  That being said, our business model is that of a service provider whose sole purpose is to improve our subscriber's odds of succeeding at sports betting over the long term.

What do our subscriber's receive?  In order to subscribe to our daily pick, all you have to do is forward 0.001 BTC to our secure bitcoin wallet address at 1FeQnTYFqsqMPv18StzGQMRJTjT1cC37J4.  Immediately thereafter, send us an email at [email protected] with the bitcoin address that you used to subscribe to the daily pick.  Upon receipt of your email and upon confirmation of your payment, we then immediately reply to your email and provide you with our daily pick.  You receive the pick in a safe, secure and timely manner.  You are then free to determine how best to make use of the information that you have received.

We have received questions asking us why can we not provide our subscriber's with all of our daily picks.  We can, and we are always happy to do so at no additional cost whatsoever to our subscribers, yet we are reluctant to do so.  We believe that our services are best provided by eliminating the guess work for you and by drawing your focused attention on one singular pick, which pick represents, in our opinion, our subscriber's best opportunity at achieving lasting long term profitability one day at a time. However, should a subscriber wish to receive all of the picks that met our short list for the day, please indicate so in your email and we will happily include all of our picks in our prompt response to you.

As always, you may contact us with any of your questions at [email protected].  And for those of you who may be inclined to do so, we would certainly appreciate being followed on Twitter at @abitbetter247.

Again, best of luck to our subscribers and to all sports betters out there!

Congratulations to all of our subscribers as we went 3 for 3 last night!

Last night's pick was NCAA Wisconsin (+3.5) at Virginia which paid out nicely at 1.943.  Wisconsin easily covered winning the game 48 - 38!

Great sports betting action coming up tonight. Looking at 6 potential picks covering NCAAB, NCAAF and NFL!

Good luck to everyone!
