11:15Full Transcript
[00:02] going to explain to you how to bet on sports full-time and also travel. So, how to manage sports betting while traveling. So, my [snorts] name is Alex. If you're new to this channel, what's up, guys? Um, I've been a very serious
[00:16] up, guys? Um, I've been a very serious sports better for about 7 years now, and sports better for about 7 years now, and I've made over 700 $1770,000 in tracked verified profit. I give out basically all my plays 100% for free on
[00:30] either Twitter or also Twitch live stream, but I've also lived in a ton of different locations. So, as an example, when I started gambling, I had a full-time job. I was living in Pennsylvania. Now, I currently live in
[00:45] Virginia. I'm back at home. I used to live in Arizona, though, when I, you know, first started to take my sports betting really seriously. So, I've lived what's really awesome about sports betting is sports betting is now legal
[00:59] to do online, right? You don't need to live next to a casino. You can do everything on your phone or on your laptop. As long as you have Wi-Fi and a few sportsbook accounts, you're well on your way to making money. So, what I
[01:14] wanted to mention first of all is why would you even want to travel as a sports better? So, I'll give you a simple example is when I started gambling, I was in Pennsylvania. Two of the first few states to legalize online
[01:28] sports betting were Pennsylvania and New Jersey. So, I was maybe like a 20 30 minute drive from New Jersey. And somebody from one of my colleagues at work was like, "Yo, there's a lot of sports books, Alex, I know you really
[01:41] There's a lot of online books that are legal in New Jersey that aren't legal in Pennsylvania. So I used to spend my entire weekend I would literally drive from Pennsylvania to New Jersey to bet on those sports books if they were
[01:56] exploitable but mainly to take advantage of signup bonuses. Okay. So sports books are all in ruthless competition for new customers. So they run signup bonuses,
[02:09] deposit matches, insured bets, stuff like that, right? Books basically give away free money. and I've made a YouTube tutorial. And initially when I made this video, granted bonuses are always changing, but when I made this video, if
[02:25] you traveled to every state with legal online sports betting and did the signup bonus in a mathematically optimal way, you would make over $18,000 in risk-free profit. So, if you understand how to maximize these bonuses and you're using
[02:41] a bunch of books, you can make a lot of money. That's one reason that traveling money. That's one reason that traveling is a pro when you're sports betting. So, I still had my full-time job. When Colorado legalized online gambling, once
[02:55] that happened, I saw that Sports Illustrated Sportsbook. They had a $7500 riskfree bet, which is absolutely insane. Okay, I made a video. You can
[03:09] see the thumbnail here. I'll also link to it. So, I literally flew to Colorado solely to take advantage of this signup bonus. But basically, if you lose your first bet, they give you your money back. So, if you think about it, that's
[03:24] absolutely insane, right? Like, usually if you lose $7,500, it's gone. But in this scenario, if you lose your first bet, they give you a full refund up to bet, they give you a full refund up to 7,500 bucks. I made over like $6,000
[03:38] solely going to Colorado to take advantage of these bookmaker offers, these sports book signup bonuses. So, I'm dead serious. If you don't have a in-person job, if you work remotely, or if you're in college, get some of your
[03:52] friends together, you know, you can DM me on Twitter with any questions. Literally travel to every single state that has online sports books, online sports betting. Take advantage of every sports book signup bonus and you will
[04:06] make tens of thousands of dollars and you'll also have a pretty fun road trip. betting, there's a couple other things that I think are important or useful to
[04:18] mention. So, usually when I'm on the East Coast, I'm waking up later, right? On the West Coast, college football games start at 9:00 a.m. Pacific time, 9:00 a.m., which means I need to be up at 6:00 a.m. looking for profitable
[04:32] bets, which means I need to go to bed early on a Friday night. So, I know that's a little extreme. Obviously, I'm not up every Saturday morning at 7:00 a.m. to look for bets, but usually, right, I really try to, you know, shift
[04:48] my sleep schedule. Like, when I'm on the West Coast, I go to bed earlier. I get up earlier because oftent times the best bets period are during college football season when there's a ton of games around 7 a.m. when the market's moving,
[05:02] there's a ton of line movement, all the games are about to start. That's one of the best times to find arbitrage and positive EV bets. So, you know, I try to wake up as early as possible. You kind of if you want to maximize your profit
[05:16] sports betting, you kind of need to rearrange your life. Um, another thing to mention is I would never live in Nevada. Nevada is the only state that has basically no online sports books. There's no FanDuel, there's no prize
[05:30] picks, there's no Rebet, Fliff, there's no fantasy sites, there's really no online sports books. So, I'm never going to live in Las Vegas. I love Las Vegas because I love gambling in many ways, but it's literally the worst state for
[05:43] online sports betting, which is a little surprising. So, I specifically try to avoid going to Las Vegas. The other thing I wanted to mention that's really thing I wanted to mention that's really nice again is Odds Jam, right? I just
[05:56] explained that I love arbitrage betting. You can see reviews from Twitter here of, you know, people who use odds Jam for arbitrage betting. Arbitrage is a risk-free profit betting strategy. So, arbitrage is really simple. All sports
[06:12] books set their own unique odds. You can see an example here and the math behind it. It doesn't matter what happens. This guy's making a risk-free profit. So, you're basically day trading discrepancies between books. When two
[06:25] sports books get super out of sync, you can hedge for a guaranteed profit. You can bet equal and opposite outcomes on two books to ensure a profit. That is all that arbitrage betting is. And that's how I started sports betting. And
[06:41] what I was going to say is on OddsJam, if you're traveling, if you're at the airport, if you're on the move, you can set up alerts for EV bets, for arbitrage bets. So OddsJam will basically, you know, just send you a push notification,
[06:57] an alert whenever there's a profitable arbitrage bet for the books you're using. But I kind of wanted to take you through very briefly just kind of whenever I'm traveling to a new state. I'll do a little screen share the first
[07:11] things I do and the first things you know that I think are important to do if you want to maximize your profits gambling while you're traveling. So here you can see my Odds Jam account in my home state of Virginia, right? And
[07:24] again, you can update this to whatever sports book that you're located in. Here can filter in the ones I want to see, the ones I don't want to see. So, here's a crossmarket EV bet. You can see Flip is offering really good value. I just
[07:39] played this Stevenson touchdown at plus 210. Average price in the market is plus 163. This is also arbitrage to Novig. So, the market has crossed. So, I could bet the over on flip. If I wanted to, I could hedge on Novig. Play is under and
[07:56] make a risk-free profit. So, one of these two plays has to be profitable because the markets crossed. You know, it's kind of like if you could buy a stock at 205 on Fidelity and then sell it at $210 on E Trade. It would be like,
[08:10] okay, one of those trades has to be good. But basically, whenever I go to a new state, so let's say for example, you come to Virginia, which you guys should. It's it's one of the best states for online sports betting is typically what
[08:23] I do is I just see what sports book signup bonuses are available. So, for example, if you just come to Virginia, there's a ton of different books. So, if you're coming from, let's say, Texas, Texas does not have fanatics legal. So,
[08:39] this is called the Odds Jam promo finder. Texas. In Texas, there is no fanatics, right? So, long story short, Virginia, you're going to be able to do this sign up bonus. And the sign up
[08:52] bonus is bet and get up to $1,000 in no right? This is the easiest money you're ever going to make in a new state is just the sportsbook signup bonuses. So,
[09:04] what this means is you bet $1,000 and if you lose, they will give you a refund in bonus bets. So, what you can do basically is go to the odds jam promo
[09:16] converter, put in fanatics, right? Nope, I didn't do that right. You can put in I didn't do that right. You can put in fanatics no sweat bet and this is for $1,000 and your lost bets, if you look at the terms, are refunded as bonus
[09:30] bets. So, you may be thinking, yo, where are all the plays, Alex? And I assume that's because I currently have fanatics filtered out. So, if I go back here, I can refresh this. And basically what this is going to show me is if I wanted
[09:46] to convert this signup bonus into risk-free profit. So, let me do select all leagues. Okay, we're good to go. What this essentially shows me is the best plays that I could lock in.
[10:01] And again, you can filter for the books you use. So, if you don't use Novig as an example, you can just filter it out on the promo converter. But basically, what this shows you how to do, and we can try to find something,
[10:14] you know, maybe like this play, it's a tennis play, is basically even if you're in Virginia for just a couple days. This is telling you if you play the Fanatic signup bonus, you could turn this Fanatic signup bonus into $540
[10:30] in risk-free profit. So, you're taking this Fanatic signup bonus. Granted, you need a big enough of a bankroll, obviously, um, to be able to put in $1,000, but if you do this signup bonus and you have a big enough bankroll, even
[10:44] if you're just in Virginia for one day, you right to sign up for a sports book, sports book. You just need to be in that state. So, if you did this fanatic state. So, if you did this fanatic signup bonus, you would make $540
[10:59] through hedging. So basically what you do is you bet the over on fanatics. do is you bet the over on fanatics. So you put your $1,000 no sweat bet. If you lose, you get your money back. You put your $1,000 no sweat bet on this
[11:15] over and then you hedge and bet the under on DraftKings for 5460. So 5.4K. Granted, that's a lot of money, but if you did this, you could essentially turn the fanatic signup bonus into $540 in guaranteed risk-free
[11:31] profit. You can see the math here on the screen. Obviously, if you don't have enough of a big bankroll to, let's say, hedge with 5.4K, you can pick a play like this. So, East Carolina or East Carolina - 11.5 12 at
[11:49] plus $225. You put your $1,000 no sweat bet on that. On Hard Rock, which is another book in Virginia, you can hedge -230. You bet 1780. And regardless of what happens, you're making $470. So, you're not making as much profit as the
[12:05] previous example, right? This is kind of sorted by what would convert your $1,000 risk-free bet um or insured bet into the most amount of money. So, sure,
[12:17] whatever. Some of these are making less money, but also we don't know what the be. And also, I don't know how big your bankroll is. So, when I first go to a state, I do the signup bonuses, but what I also like to do, so if you're first
[12:31] visiting Virginia, what I recommend doing is just checking the arbitrage and positive EV tool to just see, and granted, I do have some sports books filtered out, but I try to see what sports books have the most opportunity
[12:47] because I already want to have money in those accounts once I show up in Virginia, so I'm kind of, you know, ready to go. ready to go. So let's see here. So if I go back to
[12:59] the arbitrage tool, it's like okay, Bet MGM is showing up a lot. Profitex, Bet 105, Fanatics. So basically, I try to prioritize the books first of all offering the best signup bonuses like Fanatics. This is an amazing signup
[13:15] bonus and $1,000 insured bet that you can convert into like $500 approximately risk-free profit if you wanted to. and we have videos on that on the odds jam YouTube. And then I check the arbitrage tool to just kind of see, okay, which
[13:31] books have the most opportunity. So, I can already load up money in them, right? So, if you're leaving a state like, you know, Texas where you're using prize picks and you only have a few thousand to bet on sports, the first
[13:44] thing you should do is check for the signup bonuses. Check what books have value. withdraw your money from prize picks in advance so it hits your account [music] and you can already have money ready to go in these Virginia sports
[13:57] books. You can already sign up for them. If you're in Texas, you can register for the Virginia sports books. You're just not going to be able to place a bet, right? To physically actually bet, do the signup bonus, bet these arbitrage
[14:11] plays, you need to be physically located in Virginia, right? They verify your location and everything like every time you're on the app. So you can see there's a lot of opportunity on Fanatics, BetMGM. So, get
[14:25] those accounts loaded up with money. Learn about their signup bos bonuses. Understand how to do these signup bonuses. And then once you get to the state, set up your notifications if you haven't already on OddsJam. Start
[14:37] haven't already on OddsJam. Start arbitrage betting and go crazy.
