The world is changing as we speak, and tomorrow is never the same as today, and today is not what it used to be yesterday. This is very true now days for the internet as well. Whatever was in the beginning, when we used to surf with 33.6k Dial up modems is long gone. As long with it disappeared the human kindness, the willing to share,meet and help new people.
With the introduction of over a million ways to make money over the internet, the cyber world became flooded with all kind of scammers and swindlers, looking for nothing else but your money.
As in all other niches, it has been present in the sports betting world as well, and it’s very easily detectable, if one is willing to open his/her eyes and smell reality.
As a rule of thumbs remember this, and not just for sports betting, but for just about anything “If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably isn’t”. I know every rule has its exceptions, but be sure that this one is correct almost 100% of the time. What do I mean by too good to be true?
Have you seen these paid websites that offer you the “Holy Grail” of sports betting, with 100 of report pages and stats, showing you how someone made from $50 in less than a year over $100,000. Or tipster selling services with success rate of over 90%? And all of this information is put in such a way that looks like even a kid can do well with it.
Now I don’t wanna just express my opinion here, but want you to get involved too, and based on common logic to make your own conclusion. First of all, no matter how many statistical analysis we do, no matter how many fundamental analysis we read, if the game is not fixed, you cannot be 100% sure of the outcome. Thus we can define the outcome as a chaotic,even though there are some patterns that can be spotted, like team X has won 10 out of 12 games versus team Y, thus having a success rate over 83%, you can’t know for sure if it will happen again.
If the above is true, how can there be a “Holy Grail” to predict the unpredictable? And if there was such a thing don’t you think it could be applied to something like the lottery? Scratch that, don’t you think if you knew it, you would just keep it for yourself, instead of giving for just some $100-$200 bucks? And if you kept it for yourself and made a huge profit, don’t you think you would have been noticed already, and be famous?
I mean when you think about it, it’s inevitable to miss fame and glory if you discovered some “top secret” in certain area. So what’s left for all of those site, claiming to have the Holy Grail to be? If you said SCAM you are correct. They are there to just throw you bunch of photoshoped pictures, with bunch of fake statistics and wait for you to grab the bait. “But wait…. there are testimonials some of them seem real”
Of course anyone can make up testimonials,but even the true ones prove nothing. While I was interested in Forex Trading, which is identical to Sports Betting by the way, I learned how those services Selling Signals work. Since the market can go only up and down, they tell half of their subscribers that the market will go up and half of their subscribers the market will go down. One half wins, the other looses and probably never comes back. In the same time you have new guys subscribing for the signals and they are mixed with the winners.
Again, half of them get told to SELL, the others to BUY. Newcomers that lost will probably leave again, but the ones that won will stay, the guys that won from the first signal and won for a 2nd time will definitely stay, and those who won the first time and lost the second , have a pretty big chance to stay and keep paying for more.
Now imagine I am talking about a tipster with 1000 subscribers, he calls a tip like Under 2.5 Goals to 500 of his subscribers and Over 2.5 Goals to the other half. They all paid so he is already ahead in the game. Now the 500 winners are pleased, they want more and get mixed with the new 300 guys that just joined. Again 400 of them get told to go Under, 400 to go Over. 400 pleased customers that will stay, and perhaps at least 200 more that might be have won from his first prediction.
Do you see now how easy is to get good testimonials. Who do you think those pleased 400 guys and girls will vouch for? Unless you know the drill, you will never suspect what’s really is going on.
Now the site with this huge success rate percentage, unbelievable right? I have even seen people on twitter advertising services with 100% accuracy. Again, why bother selling picks for some $50-$100 per day or week or whatever if you are correct all the time. Why not just get logged in, in your bookmaker’s site or in the betting exchange market, and bet big on your picks? Why? Because again it’s all a lie.
I am not sure with what they fool the newbies, since I have never paid for such services, but my guess would be fake graphics, statistics and whatever you can imagine. The initial subscription price seems also very, very low for such an accuracy…. why? Because it has to be tempting for you to try. And since there won’t be any returning customers most likely, they are trying to get as many newcomers as they can, before the word spreads around.
Know this folks, there’s no short way through the mountain. There’s always an uphill and after you have overcome all obstacles comes the downhill. Too bad a lot of people keep on dreaming with open eyes and can’t see the reality.
