We had the best record in Vegas last year 72%. Average 65% over 9 years. But - there is no such thing as a sure thing!
WARNING - NEVER BET MONEY YOU CANT AFFORD TO BURN!
Making money betting football is not easy. A straight bet pays a little less than even money. $100 x 1.9 (-110) Pays $190. You make $90. Parlays can pay, but every pro better will tell you they are sucker bets. You bet a 3 team parlay, go 2-1 and make nothing. Sure, spending $20 on a 3 team money line to hit big is fun and if you have it - go for it once in a while.
But - if you want to have more money than you started with at the end of the year - you need a money management strategy. If you are pulling money out of your pocket every week and hoping for a big week to get even - there is a better way...
PROGRESSIVE BANK
This allows you to start with a stake you can afford - say $150. You then bet 3 Units of $50. If you hit 2 out of 3 - you made money. You do that every week. Once your balance is twice your stake - you double your units. What I like about this - is you may only have to spend $150 for the whole season and make a few grand by Superbowl. If you have a bad streak you may have to reload and start over, But you'll probably spend less and make more than you have been.
I am doing this myself and will post my 3 bank picks and update bank grid weekly. With injuries - I don't love this weeks match ups. If you don't either - wait and start next week. You can start with $300, $150 or as little as $60 - just divide your stake by 3 and that is your unit amount.
Pick Posting Schedule:
Thursday by 12 Noon (TNF)
Saturday by 12 Noon (All other games)
Those times allow us to check the injury reports after the final pregame practice.
