If St. Louis Cardinals Win The World Series, Adam Meyer Will Earn $1.5 Million

Filed under: Casino — Tags: — OCE News @ 12:00 am

Adam Meyer, the President and CEO of Real MoneySports, Inc., have placed a $100,000 wager on the St. Louis Cardinals on October 22, 2011, to win the World Series before the playoffs began. Real Money Sports, Inc. is the operator of sports handicapping website adamwins.com and is the leading online sports picks provider.

Meyer has placed this wager with the M Resorts and casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. With 1-15 odds received by Meyer, he would earn $1.5 million dollar payday if the Cardinals win. Meyer has an interesting track record of placing and winning large bets on major sporting events, though this fact cannot be ignored that each wager is unique.

Latest Wager is Based on Cardinals Performance

Talking of this latest wager, Adam Meyer said that he felt strongly about the way Cardinals had ended the regular season. Adding the value of veterans among the players and ace pitcher, Chris Carpenter, the wager at 15-1 odds definitely has value.

Often referred to as the nation’s top sports handicapper or “Handicapper to the stars” by E! TV, Meyer is one of the biggest gamblers in this industry. He is regularly featured on sports-talk radio stations across the country. He advices his clients who subscribe to his services on AdamWins.com to place wager on the same games that he has put large wagers on. This practice separated him from other similar players in the same field.

Great Wins in Earlier Wagers

Meyer has placed large wagers in the Super Bowl and Kentucky Derby and won them too. He has a record of winning $300,000 wager on the Arizona Cardinals during the 2009 NFL playoffs and $1 million dollar wager during the 2010 Super Bowl, placed on the Indianapolis Colts.

Over the past years, two major wagers have generated a lot of attention for Adam Meyer. These are the Green Bay Packers Super Bowl win and Animal Kingdom’s Kentucky win. Meyer had picked to win the Super Bowl at 12-1 odds for the Green Bay before the playoffs began. He won upward of $2.8 Million dollars based on a combination of wagers. Then Meyer placed a $25,000 wager on Animal Kingdom for a win at Kentucky Derby at 26-1 odds. This win fetched him over $500,000.

Treating Sports Wagers as Business Opportunity

Adam Meyer said about the way a professional handicapper treats the wagers that these bets are not gambling for him, they represent a business opportunity. These wagers are more about the ability to hedge and have an opportunity to make a substantial amount of money regardless of who wins the World Series.

As the world markets continue to be unstable, many are looking forward toward sports wagering as a safer way to find smart returns in small time. Meyer’s ability to treat this form of gambling as a business has inspired thousands to follow suit. This is proving to be a better way to get higher returns in shorter time as compared to investments in stock market. Meyer’s ability to know when and where to bet and where it has value has proved to be a very profitable formula not only for him, but also for thousands of his clients who follow his advice.
