To Win 1% or To Risk 1%? Which is better?

One of the most important aspects of Sports Investing is indeed Money Management. Like with anything in life, be it with your salary & investments, if you don’t manage your money properly and do not efficiently budget then you do not know how much is coming in and how much is going out, and this can only lead to failure. This concept applies exactly with Sports Investing, you could have the best system that wins 80% (which is theoretically impossible with manual handicapping systems) but you could be in big losses. Why? Because you did not properly manage your capital  ... 

Know Your Enemy and win!

What’s happening with NHL in the month of February and how can I can take advantage of the “5 Bets 5 days” Contest?

Boston lost 6-0 yesterday to Buffalo, it’s pretty much it summarizes what’s happening with teams in February and why most results are usually unpredictable.

A) Top Teams like Boston put all their effort into amazing winning November and December runs. There is simply not much power left there. They are flat and tired. Watch any Boston game and you will see it outright.

B) Weak teams like Buffalo who underperformed 2 months ago now start  ...

Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; show him how to catch fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.

This chinese saying suggests that the ability to work is of greater benefit than a one-off handout.

That’s the philosophy behind our idea to create a sports prediction platform Zcode instead of creating yet another sports pick service.

So what’s the difference between sports prediction platform and sports picks service?

The difference is significant. With Sports prediction platform you can do so many things – you can analyze teams, find hot trends, research performance,  ... 

Ugly NHL in February

It’s obvious February hockey is giving a hard time to all sports investors around the world, even Zcode has got a tough week. Today we took a short interview with our friend Mark Donatiello, an expert NHL capper from the Faster Times who is picking winners for years.

We got a tough week. How are you doing in February Mark?

Tough start to February. I’ve been making small wagers and hitting all my big bets, but this is ridiculous I’m like 4-9, missed the first day of the month where I would have been 1-4, and I’m lucky to  ... 

NHL Pick of the day by Ron for 3 February 2012

Fighting Streaks

 Recap: Yikes! A 1-0 loss is hard to swallow and an unfortunate home loss for Colorado. Minnesota was finally able to protect a lead in the third, it took everything they had as they were heavily and continuously out shot. This means we’ll keep trucking, only two games short of .500 and due for another different kind of streak. Streaks were a big part of the strong times we had, so if possible I say we try and use them for our next game. Also, keep an eye out for another multi game and even several game night.  ... 

NHL free pick of the day by Ron for February 2, 2012

Battle of the Losers

Recap: A road loss for Washington puts us even since our return from the break, and back to a game beneath .500 overall. Though we have been successful with road teams before, we are achieving more success on home teams. Historically the NHL has been a fairly even test on the road and at home. Lately home teams have the advantage. The Red Wings are pushing towards the record for consecutive home wins, set by the Bruins over seventy years ago. We’ll use this knowledge to push home teams unless a certain away line is  ... 

NHL Free Pick of the day by Ron for February 1, 2012

Number Ten

          Recap: Easy win yesterday as Pittsburgh deletes a 4-1 deficit in the third period. In case you missed, Pens tied it with six seconds left and Fleury stones Kessel in a shootout. It might be fair to say that Crosby’s absence was a helping factor in a valiant team effort with some heavily celebrated goals. Crosby did have a tendency to get in the team’s way.

That means we are now in positive profit and also back at a .500 record, going for a winning one. The theory that all teams would be at their best seems  ... 

Free Pick of the day by Ron

The All Star break is over, and it was a pretty theatrical and annoying one at that. We are back in action tonight with one of the largest lineups of the season. Unfortunately no one will be wearing a cape.

The million dollar question in the air is how will teams be affected by the break?

Lucky for us we only choose one game to work with, so we only need to worry about this effect on a single game basis. The last fact we all encountered were the Red Wings crawling into a deep sleep just before the break.  ... 

Teams Performance After the All Star Break?

Teams Performance After the All Star Break?

How does the performance chance when the playoff is in sight?

Here is what JonathanMa thinks: “Generally teams become more serious after the all star break. They know that the play offs are just around the corner. Play off contenders will play harder to secure their spots and get that top spot. Weaker teams will compete harder against each other for those bottom 2 play off spots.

I actually expect less surprises after the all star break. Good teams will defeat bad teams like they should. So I generally won’t be concerned very much besides for injuries.”

This is a good knowledge to have for sports investors. Having less surprises is what we need in a long run to be profitable!
