The Basics... * As mentioned on the home page, SPS is a private, invitation-only sports investment club. Within the club we have the Founders who provide the systems, and the Members who receive the plays, place wagers on their own and reap the profits the systems generate. * We play UNDERDOG MONEY LINES and MLB RUN LINES only. * Our plays range from 0.20 to 5.00 units, with 1.00 units being your standard wager. * The recommended STARTING bankroll is 20.00 units. * We release the plays (for night games) at 6 PM Eastern. For day games, we release the plays at 11 AM to 12 PM. * All updates are sent via email. * Last season we finished at +94.48 units in profits. * For info on how to join, click HERE * For answers to questions you may have, check out our FAQ's page. Our Mission... At
SPS our mission is to develop winning sports betting systems
that reap consistent profits over the course of a full season. Last season (2009-10), despite some ups and downs, we finished at +94.48 units. Clearly, we've developed sports betting systems that work. So if you like to make money and you like sports, perhaps you should participate in OUR investment vehicle. For more information on how to join our group, click HERE. More details... As mentioned above nearly all of our systems feature underdog money lines. We started with just one system for College & NFL football, however we have now developed multiple systems for all of the major sports. We have a proprietary database of money line underdogs (going back to 2001), and we've developed software that analyzes the probability of upcoming underdogs to win outright. The formulas factor the parameters and conditions of upcoming underdogs (i.e. sport, month, line range, conference, home/away, day/night, day of the week, etc.), the historical results for that particular group, and in some cases the preceding results for that group prior to the upcoming game. Based on all of those factors, our formulas calculate the probability of the upcoming underdog to win outright, and assigns a unit value to be wagered based on that probability. Every day we pull the lines and run the systems at the same times as we have done in the past. This to make sure that the data is 'apples-to-apples', meaning the lines are from the same source, and were pulled at the same time. Once we have the plays we compose the email and send it out to the Members. The Members then place wagers and reap profits, it's that simple. We maintain an open forum of communication and collaboration with our Members. Our Members also have access to our database, as well as custom data reports and custom systems. A

A MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDER: I figured I'd share the story of how we started and how we've evolved over the years. For me, it started WAY back when I was a senior in high school. From the moment I first saw the "Glantz Culver Line" in the local sports section (and someone explained to me what it was), I knew I had to be involved in it. I loved football, and the thrill of trying to pick the right side, who would cover the spread, etc. There's nothing like it. And if you can make money AND do something fun at the same time, that's just flat out glorious. We all like to watch movies, can you imagine getting paid to watch a movie if you could correctly guess the outcome? And if you're wrong, well then you just pay for a ticket like anyone else. After all, you like the entertainment and the action and you don't mind paying for it. But you have a chance to get your money back, and then some. That's what's awesome about sports. So it's safe to say I loved wagering on sports. It started with my buddy, $10 a game, going through the Glantz Culver line. I had no idea what I was doing, but it was fun. Then I started going through a local like just about everyone else in my town, and the amounts got a little bigger. Still, without much of a clue, I had mixed success, but was having a blast. Overall it was probably a washout financially. Throughout college I continued and finally starting getting better at handicapping. I started thinking about VALUE (which is the key to all sports wagering), PERCEPTION, situations, trends, and motivation. I started paying attention to things like injuries, weather, overvalue/undervalue, sandwich games, let-down games, hangover games, look-ahead games, tough travel spots, refs and umpires, and in the case of baseball - starting pitchers, bullpens, etc! So I started winning a lot more plays, but still wasn't anywhere near the point of paying my tuition or quitting my 'day gig'. Then something happened. I was on my first trip to Vegas and I walked into the Mandalay Bay sportsbook (which I thought was one of the most glorious sights I'd ever seen by the way). I was so thrilled to be able to walk up the window and LEGALLY place a wager. It was the coolest feeling. So it's safe to say I spent a lot of time in there on that first trip. Looking up at the board I saw things like +240 next to the +6.5. Of course I wanted to know everything there was to know about sports betting, so I learned about the greatest phrase in the world of wagering, the "money line". As many of you probably know, the money line is a way to bet on a team to win the game outright. When I looked at these it was one of those Eureka moments. Because I had continually gotten burned by UNPREDICTABLE outcomes. I would do all that research, think about all those situations, and come up with what I thought were real solid plays, and STILL struggle to hit 5 or 6 out of 10. And I wasn't the only one. I used to get those sheets at the news stand with the write-ups, then I subscribed to the Gold Sheet, and then ultimately subscribed to the services of the top sports handicappers - who I thought were professionals and would do a better job at picking games than I would. Don't get me started on the handicapper business - I'll save that for another article. Back to money lines, I knew that if a system could be developed that could COUNT on the unpredictable, and that could essentially lock in profits if 3 or 4 unpredictable outcomes happened out of 10, I could consistently make money betting on sports. I wasn't too wild about the idea of favorite money lines - risking quite a bit just to make your base amount - so I focused on underdog money lines. I liked betting on the dogs better anyway because of the value, perception of the favorites, and propensity in sports for the unpredictable. That's when I came up with my first sports betting SYSTEM. Take any 6 underdog money lines (lower than +300) and bet them progressively (sequentially) until one hits. 100 on the first two, 200 on the third, 500 on the fourth, 1000 on the fifth, and 2000 on the sixth. The risk is, if six in a row lose, you're out 3900 units. But as long as one out of the six hits, you've locked in profits. In the beginning I was getting lucky, I just didn't know it. All the 'tracks' (progressions) were closing out the money was flowing in. But then at some point I ran into my first streak of six in a row not hitting. Ouch. It wiped out A LOT of the profits I had made with all the other tracks closing. So I started tinkering with the systems. Stacking the lower probability dogs (+250 and higher) in the early games, the mid level dogs in the middle (+160 to +240) and saving higher probability dogs (+120 to +155) for games 5 and 6. This was working well enough over the long haul, but I realized in order to truly perfect it, I needed to have apples-to-apples in the progression. Meaning same sport, same type of game, etc. That would increase the 'due factor'. That's when I started compiling my database of underdog money lines. I rolled up my sleeves and got to work entering data. I started with NFL & college football, and eventually developed systems and compiled data for all the major sports - NBA & college basketball, MLB, NHL, even Canadian football - basically any sport the books put out money lines for. Down the road we'll have systems for tennis, soccer and Australian Rules Football! So I continued tinkering, refining, and learning from each season. Eventually I realized that - for most sports - progressive systems are too risky. FLAT systems are the way to go. More specifically, WEIGHTED flat systems (meaning different amounts on different groups depending on how well they perform). Once I started accumulating DATA, and isolating the ranges that hit at BETTER percentages than their 'break even' percentage, I could start assigning unit levels that would essentially lock in profits, provided it was a normal year of course. But now that I had entered into the world of math, databases, probabilities, and software. I realized I needed to partner with people. I became an expert with Microsoft XL, but that's about it. So I partnered with a math expert who shared my passion to create sports betting systems that work. I moved to Vegas and the rest, as they say, is history. We started perfecting the systems and the profits were flowing in. The problem is we were limited by bankroll and running around to the different books. So I had a day gig, which just so happened to be working for one of the biggest sports handicappers in town. That's when Eureka moment #2 happened. I saw people paying their hard earned dollar on what they thought were going to be winning picks, only to have mixed results and in some cases just get crushed. But they'd keep paying for the information, and get hustled by effective infomercials or good salesmen. I became so soured with the handicapping business, and meanwhile I was sitting on formulas and systems that legitimately worked, I wanted to offer them to fellow bettors. I knew it would be the ultimate win-win. They would be happy to pay for a winning system, they'd make money, and I could develop a business out of what was previously a hobby - in addition to playing the systems myself of course. But I thought why limit myself to just one way of making money? People want what you have, sell it to them. It's as simple as that. I had this dream vision of establishing a club of people, all betting the same dogs, and when the club got big enough, we actually crush a sportsbook. I can tell you this, almost 10 years later, we're on our way. I knew in order to reach 'big bettors' I would have to develop the systems in a manner that would appeal to them. So I partnered with a friend of mine - a top level manager at one of the biggest casinos in Vegas. Together the system guy (me), the math guy, and the sportsbook guy made the perfect team. We continue to work together, collaborate on the systems and how we offer them to you. We've had amazing seasons and not-so-good seasons along the way, as we kept trying to use the historical data to perfect our systems. But I can tell you that the experimental phase is for the most part over. We've now perfected these WEIGHTED flat systems, and we're coming off one of our most successful seasons ever. Already this season (as I write this April 1st) all three March systems are in the black. Now is the time to join us. If you're a like-minded sports INVESTOR who wants to bank on the unpredictable, and go with proven, winning systems (taking the human factor out of it), than we'd love to have you on board. No matter what, we all need to rally together to legitimize and hopefully legalize sports investing. We need to wash this industry of the scumbags. The only way they will go away and crawl back into their holes is if you don't give them your money. So DON'T DO THAT. They are ruining it for those of us who do it right and really have good products. Case in point - we feel we're good people who have legitimate systems and are trying to help people win. Yet when we send emails - we get angry responses or people automatically 'unsubsribe' without spending a second on our web site. Why? Because they've been burned so many times before by handicappers or handicapping services, they just don't believe anything they read anymore. They think we're ALL full of crap. And who can blame them? This industry desperately needs regulation. Those of us who are legitimate would welcome it. Just like stock brokers, financial advisors, real estate brokers, insurance agents - anyone who provides a service that has to do with your money - they're all licensed and regulated. We need that for sports advisory services as well. Because there are some legitimate ones out there. Unfortunately we're all lost in the muck of scammers out to make a quick buck. So whether you join us or not, let's communicate, collaborate and figure out a way to make sports betting legalized and regulated, and sports advisory services regulated. Then we can REALLY get to work making money. As you see by our web site we're not exactly waiting for that to happen, but we are going to do our part to galvanize sports investors and make it happen. Until the politicians see it our way - which IS slowly happening - we're going to go about perfecting our systems and stacking paper. Because we all know - real change takes money. We plan to (continue) making ours via underdog money line systems. Care to join us? In any case, thanks for reading this and BEST OF LUCK to you with all of your wagering and financial endeavors! ============================================================ For more information on us, including how our systems work, click HERE.
