What to Expect from Bro Montana

I wish I could tell you to expect a Brinks truck full of cash and all of your wildest dreams to come true but sports gambling isn't like that. Even the professionals are only right 60 percent of the time at best and I certainly wouldn't consider myself a professional. There's no exact science to the game and any fluke can turn your payday into a wallow of pity and hindsight.

There's only one way to ensure you're putting your money to proper use and that's research. Tracking trends, eyeing potential upsets, and keeping tallies on hot teams doesn't guarantee you a life of fortune but it will certainly give you a shot.

That's what you should expect from this blog. Each week I will make five picks against the spread per weekend (Friday-Sunday). These picks will be accompanied by concrete stats and information to support each selection. The five picks will be ranked by confidence so readers can pick and choose which ones they feel comfortable with too. I hope as we go along, readers will become more familiar with betting research and learn how to spot their own solid picks.

In addition I'll be posting tips and rules to follow when gambling intermittently during the week. These posts will help amateur gamblers setup boundaries and learn how to properly research a slate of games.
