Our unit count top out around 26, near 20 now. Regression downturns is part of the game, bankroll management and selection management are the key. No chasing here. Bandaids not tourniquets are necessary.

We go 1-1 on the night, picking up +1.00 units, after winning the earlier game with the A's. We are off 6+ units from our peak unit accumulation. We march onward.

We go 4-9 -4.71units for the week, making it our worst week this season. We will gladly sit on our 21+ unit nest egg and weather any storm. Let me know if you are going to bail on us, I'm buying new furniture for the Observation Tower, need to know how many seats.

Be interesting to see the stats on how 2u plays have done overall. I suspect maybe down?
To think that you're still up loads speaks volumes for your excellent handicapping. I'm keeping my front seat at the tower 👍

Managing the unit plays is ultra important. I thought there was a lot of value from fading Sale, getting +170 at home. My money got a nice ride, but I kissed my sister upon arrival. We peaked at over 26+ units, so the regression doesn't bother me. I've been doing this long enough not to get too excited about big movements in either direction.
The seats at the Contrarian Observation Tower are on delivery. Those who responded earlier get leather recliners.

You don't want too many seats at the tower. It will hurt what you can charge for the average seat. Keep the supply and demand strong.
Keep the ebb and flow trending up

Chef, you sure you're looking at the right game? Mine is moving the other way -128 now. I'd double check before you pull the trigger.

I just checked to compare, Vegas insider.com, has the same line as you posted, -118-124 Giants, I don't think my site adjusted the line, thank you for input.

The Contrarians go 2-0 +3.30 units for the night on a "nobody figures". Furniture on amazon prime, two day delivery. B.Y.O.B. BRING YOU OWN BUCKET
Thanks fellas for kudos. The cash last night was undoubtedly nice but also there were sniffs on other teams that didn't confirm, that also won. The sniff no play which results in a win, shows me positive trending which reveals a bigger picture as we continue thru the season.

5's take a good shot of a reputable antihistamine in each nostril today to ensure a full array of smells from the tower. I'm getting an early whiff of philly today and I'm not talking cheesesteaks.
