DBB (Drock Best Bet) in BOLD 2016 - 85-71-3 (54.4%) +40.60 units June - 5-9 (35.7%) -2.19 units May - 17-11 (60.7%) +16.58 units April - 16-11-2 (59.2%) +13.17 units March - 16-13 (55.1%) +11.51 units February - 17-11 (60.7%) +10.2 units January - 14-16-1 (46.8%) -12.16 units 2015 - (138-121-4) overall (53.2%) +71.69 units 2014 - (43-35-4) overall (54.5%) +38.23 units 10* GOY (all time) - 5-0-1 (100%) +50 units   MLB: First Pitch 8:05pm EDT GM 975 Reds ml +185 (Sports Interaction) risking $200 to win $370 Great spot here to sell high on the Rangers and Colby Lewis.  Lewis hasn't lost this season and now priced in the Kershaw, Sale and Noah Synndergaard range.   The Texas Rangers have the second best record in baseball behind the Cubs and have been favored only twice in their past 25 games, now -185 to -200 depending.  I know Votto is resting tonight, but the Reds have batters who can hit in this hitters park and now the market has taken notice to this Rangers win streak and that Lewis hasn't lost this year.  Rangers have won 7 straight and 9 of their last 10 games and this is the time to sell on them as I believe this is the highest their stock has been all year.  Lewis who is 36 had trouble keeping his ERA under 5 the past 4 years and now this year it's 2.81, there is a correction coming to stat.  Lewis has a 37%/44% ground-ball/fly-ball split, a fastball averaging 87.5 mph and a 7.9% swing and miss rate according to fan graphs.  These are not stats that make him a -200 starter today, the general public looks at a 2.81 [...]

Drock Sports Service Farewell

I would like to notify everyone, that I am shutting down my service after the NHL/NBA playoffs are over.  This is a decision that I made between me and my family.  My business has grown significantly over the past year, but unfortunately I can not keep up with everything being a one man show on a business level.  I am not giving up my passion for sportsbetting though.  I am personally going back to what I did years past and that's me versus the books.  I will continue to keep drocksports.com operational for your sportsbetting information.  Over the summer Drocksports will be re-branded as one-stop shop for your all your sportsbetting information to help you grow your ROI as well as I will be posting my thoughts on upcoming games/situations I see fit.  I will also be posting my moves for Free right here from time to time and will be tweeting them out when I post, so if you don't follow me already, follow me @d_rocksports for all your upcoming sportsbetting insight. I want to thank all of my amazing loyal clients that have profited with me over the years as I have run an honest profitable sports service.  We have made steady gains over the years and have grown bankrolls with my situational betting and theories combined.  I will continue to grind out profits with an arsenal of sportbooks and strategy for years to come and keep up what sportsbetting is to me - an investment hobby.  I will lose a second family in my clients, but gain a new one in making the sportsbetting population understand the true value of your investments. My vision when I started my service on drocksports.com has [...]

The Best piece of Sportsbetting advice I can give you

People who bet on sports make the mistake of betting based on what happened the last game and that's what's going to happen again the very next game.  This applies to every sport and it's the square way of thinking which is why square bettors will never be winners.  Picking winners all about situational spots rather than just picking the "better" team.  If the better team always won, then there wouldn't be Vegas sportsbooks, bookies or offshore sportsbooks in business.   Think outside the box, be patient and wait for the right moment to react to a situation.

ROI – What is it? Why is it important in Sportsbetting?

ROI stands for Return on Investment, this is critical to sports bettors for achieving long term success.  There are different ways to measure success as a sports bettor ie. Winning percentage and Units won are most common.  Really, the one that matters the most is how much gain have you had with your initial deposit.  We here believe that sports betting is an investment, it is also a grind and showing you our ROI each day shows you and us that it's not about who has the highest winning % or units won at the end of the day it's about who can sustain a constant profit long term.  You here that sports betting is not a sprint its a marathon and it's true, it's not a get rich quick scheme it's about turning a steady profit over time. What drives me crazy is people going by how great there win percentage is.  The required percentage to break even is 52.38% with average -110 juice.  Everyone says that 60% is what they want to hit and many bettors use winning percentage to sell plays and make it look like they are winning long term.  Reality is you don't have to have a high winning percentage when betting money line sports (baseball, hockey) to win long term.  In spread sports (football, basketball) percentage does matter though.  There is far more risk to me long term betting over -150 money line favorites. If bettors are betting over -150 money line favs day in and day out, successful bettors know that is a losing strategy.  You want to get the most out of any wager you make and long term betting huge favorites will end up poorly.  Here's [...]
