Once I finish the background, there won't be any changes regarding layout.

For simple backgrounds, you can ask me to change the background hue at any time.

Once finished, I will send you a low-resolution sta.sh link with watermark to the piece so you can make sure I finished it.

Once I receive the full payment, I'll send you a note with a link to the full resolution, unwatermarked image, or if you prefer it, I can send you the PNG file through e-mail.

I can and most likely WILL upload the finished image to my social media. Those will be watermarked, of course.

You may NOT re-upload the commission as a post nor here or outside dA WITHOUT PROPER PERMISSION, you MUST ask me before hand. It's most likely I'll say yes as long as you credit me and place a little link back to my profile and the original image ^^

You MAY share the image through direct messages on any social media, as long as you don't claim it as your own.

I currently don't ship any of my commissions unless it's a customized doll I am selling, I'll need to make a doll comission post sepparately in the future.

PAYMENT

I will only start a commission after at least half of the payment has been received.

Various commission types might have various payment options. Normally I accept both Points and Paypal, unless specified on the commission journal.

When the payment is with points, please do not send them until I tell you where to send them to! You can send the points on the donation pool or on the "gift" option. Just make sure to include a small message specifying it's for the commission.

When the payment is with PayPal, I'll send you an invoice through notes. Please, do communicate me in advance if you would like the payment to be done in one go or in two payments, so I know what quantity to place in the invoice.

You can also pay me by sending the money directly to my bank account. If you wish to pay this way, do say so in the note.

Deadlines and waiting times

I do not have a specific waiting time for any of my commissions, but I always give them top priority. You should expect me to finish them in around a month.

If anything gets in the way of me finishing the commission within a month, I'll make sure to tell you.

For all commissions, if you really need a refund because, for example, something difficult has come up and you desperately need the money, send me a note and we'll discuss it!

Works In Progress (WIPs)

I will send you a sta.sh low-resolution link with watermark to the sketch so you can tell me if you want anything changed. If not, I will continue with the coloring.

I'm allowed to use the finished artwork in my portfolio and to upload it to my own page.

Do's and don'ts for you

-Do communicate with me, and give me details in your note! I don't mind receiving lots of references for a character. I also love reading about a character's background and personality, it helps me in getting ideas when you don't ask for a specific pose or expression.

-When a commission is finished, you will receive a full HD unwatermarked version of it.

You may NOT re-upload the commission nor here or outside dA WITHOUT PROPER PERMISSION, you MUST ask me beforehand. It's most likely I'll say yes as long as you credit me and place a little link back to my profile and the original image ^^

New Post has been published on https://www.madpicks.com/sports-betting/best-value-betting-softwarefinder-2017/

The Best Value Betting Software/Finder 2017

Truthfully, I’ve struggled to find Value Betting Software that’s (a) available to the public, and (b) offers genuine value. I’ve sieved though a lot of so-called Value Bet finders and discarded them one by one. However, finally, there’s some Value Betting Software that I can recommend, and it enables punters to earn long-term profits from their sports bets.

Introduction To Value Betting Software

► What’s Value Betting?

‘Value’, in betting terms, is presented when the odds suggest that the selection isn’t as likely to win as it really is. Value betting puts the ‘edge’ in the player’s favour, meaning it’s profitable long-term. If you’d like to learn more on this, then read my post What Does Value Betting Mean?

► The Shortage of good Value Betting Software

Finding Value Betting Software that actually provides a money-making opportunity is certainly a challenge. Value Betting Software isn’t generally available to the public. After all, why would anyone give access to their profitable Value Bet selections and encourage more competition for odds?

The answer to this question is pretty simple…

Granted, many professionals would never dream of giving anyone else access their software — hence the shortage of available products. But many Value Betting techniques are somewhat limited in terms of profitability. Bookmakers clamp down on Value Bettors by limiting their stakes, and in some cases, closing their accounts entirely…

Therefore professional gamblers tend to make as much money as they possibly can, and then move on to monetising their ‘Bet Finder’ on a subscription basis. This way they can continue earning from it once they’re unable to place bets themselves.

It makes sense, right?

Value Betting vs. Arbing

Value Betting Software is a lot like Arbing Software. Both products present an opportunity for Punters to capitalise on inaccurate prices in the sports betting markets and earn long-term profits.

What follows is a comparison of various factors which have an impact on Value Betting & Arbing.

► Risk

This is where Arbing and Value Betting differ the most. Arbs guarantee the Punter risk-free profits, whilst Value Bets carry a risk (albeit, a calculated one). Value Bettors take on the risk because their bets have an ‘edge’ that wins over time.

► Profitability

Arbing [generally] secures a smaller % profit on each trade than Value Betting. This is, in part, due to the commission paid on winnings earned on the betting exchange (e.g. Betfair).

However, this is only a generalisation. It also depends heavily on the sports/markets used. For example, the margins on Horse Racing — regardless whether Arbing or Value Betting — tend to be higher than on football.

► Account Lifespan

Every betting account that partakes in Arbitrage betting has a lifespan, which can be anything from day to a month before the Bookmaker gives it the chop. Value Bettors get the same treatment. You have to accept that the time will inevitably come where the Bookmaker limits your stakes or prevents you from placing further bets.

► Detection

The good news is that Value Bets are more difficult to spot than Arbitrage Bets. Punters can identify their Value Bets using various methods & techniques, by comparing odds from a range of different sources. Arbitrage Bets are found by simply comparing the Bookmaker odds to the Exchange. So Value Betting is more complex — thus Bookmakers can’t detect it as easily.

Furthermore, because Value Bets generally carry risk, the Bookmaker is more lenient to Value Bettors than Arbers (who guarantee a profit on every trade). However, bare in mind that if you bet frequently and consistently earn a profit, then you’re bound to draw attention to yourself at some point — whether you’re Arbing or not.

Trademate Sports — Value Betting Software

I recently came across a Value Betting Finder named Trademate Sports. I was granted free access to review the product, and I must admit I was very impressed. In my opinion, this is the kind of product that Punters should be using instead of subscribing to Tipsters.

► About Trademate Sports

Trademate was previously known as Edgebet.net.

The Trademate Sports value betting software calculates the true odds of the outcome of a sporting event and provides you with all the tools necessary to identify profitable opportunities in the global sport betting markets. 

Their algorithm runs 24 hours a day, 365 days per year across Football, NFL, NBA, MLB, Handball, etc. Each sport represents a new opportunity and their algorithm is able to detect exploitable value.

► In-browser Interface

There’s no need to download anything to use the Trademate Sports Value Betting Software. The in-browser interface means that service it’s fully compatible with any computer or mobile device.

A lot of other Value Betting Finders are made by programmers, for the use of programmers with an interest in sports betting. What stands out about Trademate Sports is that it’s designed for the average Punter. There’s no programming knowledge required to get up and running. It takes about one minute to get set fully up, with bets instantly coming through on the Trade Feed. And if you get stuck there’s a live chat feature, too.

After logging in for the first time I quickly got to grips with how everything works. It’s just a simple case of setting up what Bookmakers you’re going to use, and how much you’re investing into each one.

The user interface is modern, bright & bold — an ease to use.

The user has an option to set a bell sound alert whenever a new trade pops into the feed — which means you can even bet whilst you’re working on something else!

The simple, configurable Value Betting feed.

  Note: Bets must be placed in your regular betting account(s). Trademate isn’t integrated with any Bookmakers.

► A Strategy that Works

In their own words:

There’s a number of factors we have to consider when calculating the correct odds of a match, each sport and market have their own individual and sometimes complex nuances, our algorithm determines how these nuances and factors should be weighted to calculate the true odds, based on the liquidity and timing across the various markets.

Trademate Sports doesn’t elaborate further into what they do to identify value. They still maintain some level of secrecy. But from reading their website, and chatting to their staff, I can infer that they are [at least in part] following various prices in order to anticipate market movements. For those of you that read Punter2Pro regularly, you’ll be aware that i’m an advocate of this sort of technique.

For proof of this concept, check out the Punter's Guide To Beating The SP.

Unlike other Value Betting Software, Trademate doesn’t have any Bookmaker affiliate links on the website whatsoever. This is good news, because it makes no sense that a Bookmaker would support this product. Bookmakers only endorse products or strategies where players are set up to lose.

► No need for Excel Sheets

It’s extremely tedious logging each and every bet you’ve placed, updating the results, and calculating the profit. Thankfully Trademate makes life easy in this department. You simply open up your feed, click the ‘trades’ you’ve placed, and enter the stake for each one. You can amend any of the bet details at any point, in case you entered the wrong details (odds, stake etc).

When the trades are settled the results & stats automatically update in the “Settled Trades” list.

Users can also monitor their total bankroll by entering how much money was initially deposited at each Bookmakers. This is a nifty feature — but it’s slightly limited in that it doesn’t yet enable the user to enter subsequent deposits and withdrawals. However, this doesn’t actually impact the important stats, such as the ROI %.

► Full Breakdown of Results (Automated)

Now here’s the really impressive part of Trademate Sports — the data presentation.

The EV (Expected Value) of the bets is plotted against the actual profit on the ���Analytics’ page. It also shows the Closing EV — which is basically the Starting Price (SP) of the event. This is important to monitor because whilst your bet may have originally had value when it first appeared on the feed, circumstances can change (e.g. a key player is announced injured), and the price adjusts accordingly. This means your bet’s value will be impacted, too. So you want to be ‘beating’ the Closing EV with the prices you’ve bet on.

In this sample my EV has ‘beaten’ the Closing EV, which is good. The profit is well over EV, meaning its over-performed — this will even out over time.

There’s another chart on the same page which presents the Closing Odds vs. the Hit Rate. This gives the user an idea of how well distributed their results are.

To date, I haven’t seen a sports betting chart presented in this way. It’s neat.

Critically, there’s also a full breakdown of the betting results in a table format. ‘Turnover’ represents the total amount staked. Included within this breakdown is the ‘Flat ROI’, which shows how the bets would’ve performed with an equal bet size. I recommend using the ‘Flat ROI’ as a marker, because too often our results (and expectations) are distorted by the increased variance that comes with ranging bet sizes.

The automated Stats Breakdown.

To learn more about variance in sports betting, read my post How Can I Be Sure That I'm Really Winning?

► How much does Trademate Sports cost?

There are 2 pricing plans on Trademate Sports — “Core” and “Pro”. Both offer ample betting opportunities. You’ll receive 30 EUR free credit, too!

Monthly pricing plan: a good introduction to Trademate Sports

Quarterly pricing plan: better value for money

► Is there other Value Betting Software out there? Cheaper alternatives?

I’m on the lookout for more. But for the moment Trademate Sports is the Value Bet finder that impresses.

Over the coming months there should be even more features included on Trademate, too. But right now, as it stands, there’s plenty of value to be had from the feeds currently on offer. It more than justifies it’s monthly fee.

If this is out of your price range, or you don’t have the risk tolerance or bankroll, then I highly recommend that you look into:

Arbitrage

Matched Betting

These are two money-making alternatives that carry no risk.  I advise that you begin with these  techniques and then progress on to Value Betting.
