Listen up boys, it’s 2023. Inflation is high and interest rates are soaring. We are still making less than 100k a year in most cases and even at the top level we aren’t getting above 300k. That’s just not commensurate with our worth, COLLEGE PLAYERS COME AND GO BUT WE ARE THE F’N SHOW.
That said, some new gambling laws have been passed in the United States that give us some unique opportunities.
Y’all remember the old days—where we had to have a shady deal with a bookie to get anything done. Not anymore.
The idiot sports fans think we still have to bet on spreads and money lines and over understand for the whole game! But here’s the real way to 20x your income every year as a major referee:
1) Never ever answer questions. If you don’t talk, they can’t parse what you say. This is rule #1 for a reason.
2) Stop betting whole game point spreads or any whole game bet for that matter. It is way too obvious and ignorant.
3) Pick your “best friends” wisely. Make sure you don’t talk or text to them much and they live in a state where gambling (specifically in-game) is fully ready and accessible via internet.
4) Set the parameters with your “best friends” for specific, weird parts of the game. For example: X team will win by 10 from minute 15-10 of the second half. Or another example: Y team will cover after being behind in the first half. You can create and endless number of parameters here but make sure your friend is watching.
4a) Make sure to have random odd signals that trigger your “good friend” to do certain things.
5) Always have an exit strategy. No matter how hot a team gets, no matter how bad things get by luck, always have the big bet geared up for the last couple minutes so you ALWAYS win.
Glad you fellow refs have attended this seminar today. But always remember rule number 1: don’t talk. We don’t have to. And as long as we stay quiet we never will.
