  • Decided to add another one for tomorrow: 1 unit: New York +9

  • Unless Phoenix shits the bed, it looks like a 2-0 night. I already put in 2 bets for tomorrow and I'm looking into three more. 1 unit: Toronto -2.5 1 unit: Milwaukee -4

  • YTD 3-2 (+0.8 units) I'll wait until tomorrow, but I will probably have one play for Thursday.

  • I decided that there is too much value in tonight's game to lay off. N.Y. Giants +3.5

  • TYD: 6-3 (+2.7 units) I'm not trying to promote my picks or anything like that. Just wanted to state that I really like 2 NBA games for Tuesday. I'll post them tomorrow or Tuesday; whenever I can make my bets. Nothing tomorrow. Good luck.

  • I went 20-14 on NFL picks posted here last year. As a recreational bettor in the past, I did not keep accurate records, but there were many more years of taking money out of the sportsbook than losing it. I came to this decision because of the way…

  • (Quote) Its difficult to say. In order to apply the money management principles that I want to, I need to make some money this year. I didn't sit down and figure it out exactly because I have enough money to live off of for a year or so, so I'm t…

  • I'm not getting into how much I need to win or anything along those lines. This is risky for me right now, but I'm trying to put myself in a situation to do this full-time. Jackson21, thanks for the advice. I have my bankroll, and then I have eno…

  • (Quote) I don't really want to get into that right now, but if I can make enough money to do this for a living, I'll go over all the details at season's end.

  • If I thought the Chiefs could be a legit 10-6 team, I wouldn't go near this, but I don't see them as a good team, just lucky with the early schedule. They can try to keep the game close with Thomas Jones, but Indy has faced the same scrutiny for ye…

  • Thanks Goats and I agree with everything you posted. However, I waited until Week 5 so I could analyze every team and I wasn't 100% sure of these plays until the lines were at where they are right now (waiting on Colts injuries, deciding on whether…

  • I'm excited to get this thing started and to see if I have what it's got. Here are my first two plays of the season. Bets have been made at a Las Vegas sportsbook: Indianapolis -7 (-110) over Kansas City: Chiefs are 3-0 but I'm not buying into t…

  • I am not a huge fan of any of the Week 1 games, but why would you bet the Jets? They are a mediocre team that is way overhyped. The Ravens are a Super Bowl contender. I would give the edge to the Ravens in the following categories: QB, RB, WR/TE,…
  • The Eagles will have issues this year. The defense is mediocre and the offense looks good on paper. However, they could struggle to win close game and there will be games where Kolb looks awful. They remind me a lot of the Packers from 2 years ag…
  • Houston gave up 205 rush yards per game in their first 3 games, but only allowed 84 rush yards per game in their last 13 games. That would had ranked 2nd in the league last year. They are going to have to put more pressure on the QB, but I'm lookin…

  • oh my
  • I agree that I should not be doing this as it is too risky, but I will be playing very few games and wagering 10% of my bankroll for the first year or so. Many cappers play a lot of plays and try to hit 54-56% to make their profit. I will be playi…
  • Goats: Can I ask you how much your bankroll is and what your lowest and highest plays usually are? My thinking is that I can gain a few units per month on average, but my unit has to be $1,500 if I am taking 2-3 units per month. That means my ban…
  • I'm starting to think that I don't think I have enough money to be betting the amount of money that I want to and live comfortably. I need to run but I'll post later (around 5-6). Thanks for all the input guys!!!
  • The other part that I never understood is why does everyone say to never bet the NFL and NBA? If you do more research on these teams/games than any other teams/games, why not bet on them? I feel that there are always about 5 games a year that are …
  • I know the normal rule is a unit is 1-3%, but from my experiences over the past 10-15 years, I really think that going big on a few games is the way to go for me. If I knew I would hit 55% over 300 plays a year, I would do it, but why not really fo…
  • Ed, I know you go against this strategy, but have you ever known someone to go with 10-15% of their bankroll on about 10-20 games per year? I have done well when I bet about 30 NFL games and I have done well when I bet about 100-150 NBA games a yea…
  • I am hoping to have my bankroll grow as well as take money out as income. With no prior experience, my thinking was to take out about 50% of the profit each month. I think that might be too aggressive, but I'm not sure. I am living with my girlfr…
  • Goats, 12 months is about where I would be if I lose my entire bankroll. If you want me to get into further detail with dollar values, let me know. I will be looking into other careers, but I really think I can do this. Ideally, I would have a c…
