    This type of start is exactly why you need a unit size properly proportional to your bankroll.

    I followed VR last year (didn't bet just followed for entertainment) so subscribed again this year. I like the system but don't think it's a system that can be applied to the entire season (regardless of sport). I wouldn't even consider jumping in until week 6 when the good teams are starting to rise to the top and the shitty teams are showing their true colors. Especially with college preseason rankings which everyone know's are crap, there's just too much uncertainty.

    Appreciate the input Rickflair. My college hoops I never start until league play starts but football season is so short. You have so much less time at trying to make the cash. I just know it will change around here. I hsve had mostly winners in my teams I am eliminating from just I seem to not be able to avoid that one spoiler in each parlay this year

    It will definitely turn around VR. Great thread and look forward to your picks, including those in the ALWAYS winnnig 80% College Football forum.

    Can't agree more with rickflair. Usually takes 5-6 weeks to get good basis on teams, especially college ball. Things usually are becoming "sorted out" about that time of the season.

    It's Ric Flair. There's no "k". That is really going to eat at me, so can you either not post or do another account and correct it?

    You may want to change the word "subscribe".

    That doesn't look good when one considers it's often used in the tout bidness.

    Even though, I don't think VR is selling picks, it just doesn't do VR any favors.

    Vegas have you ever thought about adding some teams to your parlays and take a little bigger favs..

    in the first 5 weeks, only 3 teams with a spread bigger than -18 lost their games ...

    what do you think vegas?

    Thought you learned with college bball that this isnt a good idea, always look easier before the game, then they play the games and youre wondering what happened. There is a reason to let you parlay because they know its not a good investment, sure you can hit a few, which will make you continue to do them and its not a long term thing to win from.

    Beg to differ jtoler as I have finished ahead of the game last season just this one has started off on the wrong foot as I can't seem to avoid that one spoiler on parlays but it does work in the long run as I have seen my dad and so many others do.

    Have not knugen but as I have seen a few people who follow along in here do them and they are cashing on them. Again if you do enough to double your money that is the goal. As some will say well anyone can pick big favorites and get winners. REALLY then why doesn't everyone do it because the big 20+ favorites win quite regularly.And if you're betting 100.00 or 10000.00 doesn't really matter if you are hitting them in the long run and continue to double your money. And if it was so easy for people to do the other and play against the spread then there would be alot more than only 2% of people that make a successful living at this

    I completely agree with you VR. There is money to be made in moneyline parlays. I have had pretty good results the 4+ years I have been doing them. Good Luck to you this Saturday. I feel we will cash them all.

    The penetrate was USC doing?

    Up by 9, controlling the clock by running the ball down AZ ST's throat.... 3rd and 2 at the AZ ST 32.... and they throw a screen pass and lose 6 yards? Shitty call by the coach.

    Turned it off then. Knew it was a loser.

    Tough year so far, VR. You'll get some back.

    No way. No freakin way!!!
    How do these keep losing by 1 team blowing it!!!
    So pissed.
    Last week Utah blowing a 21-0 lead.
    This is a bad time to bet...mlb playoffs so hard and college football bad beats.

    Very discouraging for me so far. So sorry too to those of you that follow what I play. Things just, for whatever reason are upsidedown right now. USC knocked me out of last man standing too. 3000 entries for 59000.00 and down to 174 and I had 2 of them and USC and MICHST lose the way they did.....REALLY...I MEAN REALLY. WTF!!!!!!

    Keep your head up my friend! I have been doing this for many years, and have never ever ever had such a difficult year as this one. It is a year so far where we just cannot catch the slimmest of breaks.

    I thought last week was rock bottom with Pitts losing it with 7 seconds left. I am just speechless after USC blowing it with a long TD with no time left. I think it's time for me to sit out and wait for b-ball. Should be much easier to hit. GL everyone...

    Reaper.. I really hope you turn this around.

    I am not trying to be an ass.. but do you really make these bets for these dollar amounts? Or is this just for posting purposes?

    I can't imagine you lost 7K playing this way, and just keep firing away.

    Anyway, hope you turn it around, hate to see anyone lose like this...

    I hope that Reaper doesn't come out next weekend firing away 1500/2K/2500 dollar parlays.

    If the system works.. the recipe remains the same. I would be somewhat suspicious of this if he came out next weekend with a 1500 dollar 3-teamer.
