Banner Vacation?

For a 3rd consecutive day, Banner's impact on the wagering world is non-existant. Has he seen enough of this Interleague inconsistency? I'll post anything that may arise in tonight's west coast matchups.

Underground Report Week 6

When it rains....it pours! I think that's the best way to summarize this weeks Underground nightmare. Interleague blues? A realistic return to planet earth? I don't know what kind of label to put on it, but it's definitely been a rough week for our MLB magician. That being said, this summer's overall record still stands in a league of its own. Here's a breakdown of the numbers:


2 Weeks Ago: 9-2-0 (Sides: 8-1 Totals: 1-1) + 17 units

Last Week: 8-16-0 (Sides: 5-13 Totals: 3-3) - 15 units

Overall: 75-50-3 (Sides: 51-29 Totals: 24-21-3)


The week from hell drops our Side efficiency to 63.75%. Still very respectable considering we accumulated nearly HALF our Side losses over the past 7 days! A couple positive things to dwell upon during this time of hardship is: 1) although the winners have not come in like they have in the past, many of the losses have come extremely late in the game and/or by 1 lousy run. To me, a strikeout here and an error there, is a little more comforting than a 10 run slaughter (in terms of following a professional handicapper of course). 2) The obvious fact of these filthy Interleague matchups. Having slaved in the wonderful world of sports wagering for the past 6 years, I know for a fact that professional sports bettors play very sparse during these statistical depleted periods. Here's hoping Banner takes this into consideration until the stars re-align on June 29th.

Underground June 21

FREE Money @ Betfair

Have you had a chance to check out the UK's sporting exchange @ Betfair.com? Now might be the time to take a peek. This is going to the extreme, but keep your eye on tomorrow's Twenty20 World Cup 2009 cricket match. The final takes place at 10 a.m. (est) and features Sri Lanka vs a suprising Pakistan squad. If I said I followed, watched, or knew anything about cricket, I'd be lying, BUT the opportunity to middle yourself and guarantee some profit exists as I type. Betfair takes some getting used to, as they only use European decimal odds and the whole backing/laying concept is tough to grasp at first sight. That being said, here's what I just submitted

Section 1:
Cricket > Twenty20 World Cup 2009 > The Final > Pakistan v Sri Lanka > Match Odds

Back Pakistan @ 2.24 (risk $1000 to win $1240)

Section 2:
Cricket > Twenty20 World Cup 2009 > Winner

Lay Pakistan @ 2.22 (risk $1220 to win $1000)


Section 1 has you betting on the game itself, whereas Section 2 is betting on who will win the championship. A recent North American comparison would be betting the Penguins to win game 7, and also betting the Pens to win the Stanley Cup. Essentially, you're making the same bet...BUT in this case, Betfair has 2 different sets of odds, which ultimately allows you to guarantee yourself profit. By no means is $20 and/or 1 middle going to change your life (I hope it doesn't), but its a nice reward for using your noggin and making 4-6 mouse clicks. Here's a link to set you up @ Betfair

P.S. Last I heard, Betfair does not harbor US customers

Underground Report Week 5

After yet ANOTHER remarkable week, Banner's winning percentage has literally gone through the roof. All joking aside...I knew this guy was solid, but this is quickly turning into a sportsbook's worst nightmare. I hope all of you Banner followers decided to sit on your positive balances like he did. A reason for the day-off? I'm assuming Interleague play. Many professional cappers tend to shy away from Interleague matchups due to the very limited head to head statistics available. Here's the weekly breakdown of his MLB annihilation.

2 Weeks Ago: 20-9-2 (Sides: 11-5 Totals: 9-4-2) + 16 units

Last Week: 9-2-0 (Sides: 8-1 Totals: 1-1) + 17 units

Overall: 67-34-3 (Sides: 46-16 Totals: 21-18-3)


For the mathematicians...Banner climbs to an astonishing 74.2% efficiency rate on sides and 64.4% overall. If that doesn't drop your jaw, I don't know what will.

Did You Know?

For all of you Banner enthusiasts, are you aware of the best sportsbooks to make your picks? By best, I mean the best value for every dollar you wager. Try and avoid any sportsbook using a 20 cent baseball line. The links posted below will direct you to Pinnacle Sports and 5 Dimes Sportsbook & Casino, who offer true 8 cent and 10 cent lines respectively. 5 Dimes even goes the extra mile to offer 5 cent baseball lines overnight









Note: Last I heard, Pinnacle no longer harbors players from the US.

John Morrison Scam

I HOPE none of you Sports Bettors have fallen victim to this one. 97% efficiency?? Gimme a break. I do however know that this person (John Morrison is OBVIOUSLY a fake name) has made a FORTUNE off this hoax. $197 per sucker, plus a percentage of whatever losses you accumulate at the Sportsbooks he refers you to. Justin @ Sportsbook Review (Visit this site if you're betting or thinking of betting off-shore) gives a solid analysis of what the scam is all about. After some deep investigation into the sportsbook world by yours truly, I can tell you that a couple of his accusations are inaccurate, but the bottom line is this "system" is a DEFINITE SCAM.




Believe it or not, the bad boys @ BetUS are NOT in cahoots with this John Morrison character. After a thorough investigation into this ridiculous scam, I was able to uncover that all this John Morrison guy is, is a referral MONSTER. He, like any other affiliate agent, refers people to places like BetUS for a piece of the losing pie. The only difference about Johnny boy, is that he has THOUSANDS of players that have fallen victim to his costly lies. That being said, what do you think a sportsbook does when they get SMASHED on one side of a game? By no means am I sticking up for the BetUS boys, but they're not the ones to blame for this one. Direct your hate mail to the fake John Morrison guy at his fake Las Vegas address.
