Brett Atkins' Rating System

It's funny how the word "dime" has taken on a whole new meaning in gambler-speak. Back in the days when I was moving money in Vegas, the word "dime" meant $1000, as in you were putting two dimes or $2,000 on the Bulls.

 

The word dime itself differentiated the high roller from the little fishes when it came to knowing who-was-who in sports-wagering circles.

 

Times have changed, however, because now you rarely hear anyone talking about moving a dime on a game. I think the Internet, thanks to the advent of online betting, is responsible for the change.

 

Today, the word "dime" is more often used to signify how games are rated. A lot of handicappers use the dime rating system; I have been for years and I see Chuck O'Brien (who must be a charter member of Red Sox Nation and bleed Celtic Green) at this site uses it too.

 

The dime rating system is so simple and easy to understand in terms of money-management. Look, my plays are rated on a 10 dime to 100 dime scale. A 20 dimer is twice as strong as a 10 dimer; a 30 dimer is three times as strong, etc., etc.

 

Just remember that no money-management system is foolproof; you've got to have a bankroll allocation system for yourself. What I mean is, if I've got 40 dimes of action today, you've got to know how much of your bankroll for the day or week you're going to put down on that 40 dimes of action.

 

Here's a simple way of looking at it: If you have $200 you're willing to wager today, and I have 40 dimes of action - a 25 dimer plus a 10 dimer and 5 dimer - you should take that $200 and divide it by 40. That will give you a per dime unit cost of $5.

 

My 25 dime play will now be worth a $125 investment. The 10 dimer is worth $50; the 5 dimer another $25. Do the math and you get $200, your total original investment.

 

Now that's a good example of maximum bankroll allocation for a single day's action. Let's say instead you have $700 to wager in a week. In that case, you would want to divide the $700 by seven days, leaving you with $100 to bet per day.

 

As for my ratings' strategy, as you read above, the key for me is spotting bad numbers. The worse the number - as in the bigger discrepancy between what I think it should be and what it actually is in Vegas - the bigger the play.

 

Understand this: I am an opportunist. Whether I'm up or down, when I see an opportunity to make big money, I go for it.

 

 

Who Is Brett Atkins?

I played my first parlay card at the age of 12. Some will say that's when my addiction began; I say that's when my career took shape.

 

I moved to Vegas when I was 21 ready to make a name for myself. I spent 10 years moving money for the sharpest sports bettors in the country. These guys didn’t have opinions, they had computers doing analytics and a software system created to beat the odds.

 

Did they beat the odds? They had some good runs, but between craps and blackjack, they had too much to overcome.

 

How did I make money? That was easy - I bet against the guys I was moving money for in Vegas. I simply held the action that I felt was going to lose, keeping the profits rather then turning those ill-advised bets into the sportsbooks.

 

Some will say I was crazy, but I was simply confident in my own opinion and in my ability to beat the number and ultimately their bad bets.

 

For years I've had the uncanny ability and knack to just isolate bad lines. When I spotted them working in Vegas, I held those guys' action and made a fortune.

 

When things went bad for the guys I was working for, I started betting my own games and did great for a long time. The problem is that unlike the guys I was previously working for, I didn’t have 20 to 30 guys like me on the payroll who were able to place bets anonymously all over town. I was a one-man operation and it didn’t take long for Vegas to shut me down, leaving the Internet as my only way of making money off my plays.

 

My customers are my virtual runners nowadays. Obviously, the sportsbooks aren’t happy because there is no way to stop me now, but they win more than enough money from suckers who don't know how to handicap or bet so screw them and their razzle-dazzle marketing plans and BS.

 

Listen, I've never been one to breakdown a game, to analyze it ad-infinitum. But that's what makes this site so appealing to me. I get to give you my rated releases - the games I feel have bad numbers that can always make us money together - at the most affordable price online this industry has ever seen!

 

No one ever said you had to spend big bucks to make big bucks as a gambler, and I'm here to prove that axiom correct week after week.

 

Yes, I'm cocky. Yes, I'm confident. But that's because I know I've made money in the past and will continue to do so in the future.
