Turns out that using small amounts of money betting on underdogs to beat the spread is a winning strategy. The winning edge is small, and you must bet on every underdog, so you are making a lot of bets every week. You would change the odds if you tried to use large amounts of money. Losing streaks can be brutal. If you lose, your recovery is zero dollars. The week is over every Saturday night, and all bets are settled in cash.

We are looking for asymmetric payoffs with this part of the portfolio – small bets and huge payouts when we are right. What we want to do to make smart-long shot bets is look for companies with small market capitalization. That way, a relatively small amount of institutional buying can push the shares dramatically higher. We want to favor lower-priced stocks. Speculators love low-priced stocks, and unexpected good news can bring in a fast and furious burst of buying that pushes our shares dramatically and rapidly higher. We want to find companies with decent businesses in an industry with strong long-term growth potential. We also want to limit our longshot purchases to companies where insiders and institutions have recently… Continue reading at [INVESTORSALLEY.com]( SPONSOR ["Amazon Loophole" could hand you $28,544 in "royalty" payouts]( Thanks to a little-known IRS loophole...
