The TSP Portfolio: Smart, Structured, and Data-Driven Betting

What is the TSP Portfolio?

Launched on January 1, 2023, the TSP Portfolio develops wagers using content from all of The Sharp Plays’ platforms—both free and paid—including:
Twitter/X
Telegram
TheSharpPlays.com
GoFastAndWin.com
TSP.Live & TSP Insiders

💡 Where Do TSP Portfolio Wagers Come From?

  • 90% of wagers originate from TSP Live Portfolio action (paid TSP Live subscription).
  • 10% come from TSP Insiders (paid & free releases) or are posted publicly (Twitter/X, Telegram, etc.).
  • Expanded Portfolio tracking logs any wagers not released for the TSP Portfolio within TSP Live.

The TSP Portfolio’s Strategy & Goals

  • Low-volume wagering, with bets ranging from 0.5% to 5% of bankroll.
  • Adjusts risk levels (aggressive/passive) based on current betting environment (TSP Index).
  • Designed for novice bettors, teaching how to maximize value and ROR and ROI without reckless betting.
  • NOT a reflection of all my bets—while I follow the TSP Portfolio, I also take additional action based on my personal risk tolerance.

The TSP Portfolio uses every type of bet, including:
Straight bets
Parlays & teasers
Rollovers
Futures & more

While it spans all sports, 90%+ of wagers involve the major leagues (NFL, NCAAF, NBA, NCAAB, NHL, MLB, tennis, and soccer).


Tracking & Performance

📊 Daily logs: TSP Portfolio action is logged at TheSharpPlays.com.
📈 Performance tracking: View results on the Portfolio Performance page (link).


Free vs. Paid TSP Portfolio Wagers

🚨 Is free content lower quality than paid content? Absolutely not!

  • Both free and paid Portfolio wagers work together toward the same overall TSP Portfolio goals.
  • However, TSP Insiders’ paid selections make up just 5% of the TSP Portfolio. Not purchasing these may slightly reduce profits but won’t have a major impact on your overall ROI.

📌 “Expanded Portfolio” wagers (those outside TSP Live) are tracked separately and labeled “Expanded” in the TSP Portfolio log.


How Much Should You Bet?

The TSP Portfolio serves as a guide for:
Wager selection
Risk structuring
Bankroll management

💡 Typical bet size: 1.0% – 1.5% of bankroll
Example:

  • Bankroll: $10,000
  • 1% wager: $100 per bet

Understanding Return on Risk (ROR) vs. Bankroll Return on Investment (ROI)

📊 Return on Risk (ROR): Profit/loss per dollar wagered.
📈 Bankroll Return on Investment (ROI): Profit/loss relative to bankroll.

Example ROR/ROI Calculation

  • Bankroll: $10,000
  • Average wager: $100 (1% of bankroll)
  • Total wagers in a year: 500
  • Total betting volume: $50,000 (500 x $100)
  • Return on Risk (ROR): +5%
  • Profit: $2,500 ($50,000 x 5%)
  • Bankroll Return on Investment (ROI): +25% ($2,500 profit / $10,000 bankroll)

🔹 Whether your bankroll is $100, $10,000, or $10M, ROR and ROI percentages remain the same, but dollar amounts will differ.


What is a Good Return on Risk (ROR)?

🔢 Expected Long-Term ROR Based on Win Percentage (at -110 odds):

Win %Return on Risk (ROR)
52.38%Break-even
53%+1.18%
54%+3.09%
55%+5.00%
56%+6.91%
57%+8.82%
58%+10.73%
59%+12.64%
60%+14.55%

📌 Most professional sports bettors achieve a long-term Risk ROR of 2% to 5%.
1%-2% ROR = Consistent but requires a large betting volume.
3%-5% ROR = Excellent performance, typically achieved by specialized bettors.
5%+ ROR = Rare, indicating high skill & market inefficiencies.
