First let me start by saying this past Saturday marked my one year mark in the sports betting world. I said from day one that I would use my first year to try and learn everything I can. I have learned so much from some of the posters here (my buddy Capri, BigdaddyQH, Wal, and several others). I have decided to put some trust into what I have learned and start making some of my own plays and having them documented right here. I am not sure of my own record season to date but I do know NFL first week I went 8-3. Feel free to tail ( I wouldnt do that ) or fade ( probably dont want to do that just yet either) but I want to put myself out there and see how I do. I encourage any constructive criticism as I go about this but I know the only way to ever earn money in this world is to learn to do it your self.

I will try to limit my action to 4-5 college and 4-5 NFL per week.

Lets see how I can do

Im starting with all plays to win 2 units

[jwbama23]

My first plays are

CAL -3

May be square but I like it

ECU +17.5

ECU plays VT tough

risking 2.2 to win 2 on each

[wal66]

First, thanks for the nod.

Personally I like the first two plays here. Already on ECU myself and maybe should be on Cal as well as they did come up as a play. I think posting and tracking your plays will help you in the long run. Might sound silly but unless someone is just trying to be a joke there is a sense of pride in putting yourself out there. By doing that you want to put forth your best effort. Now if that carries over into you non-posted plays or eliminates them all together then it helps even more.

Have a great weekend and a killer card.

[jwbama23]

Thanks buddy, this is something I have been wanting to do and I just never trusted myself. I have seen my leans through 2 weeks and feel confident in my ability to make some good winning picks. ECU could of beat VT last year if I remember correctly. I like the play. I have played ECU the first 2 weeks and I will go back to that well again this week.

[jwbama23]

should of waited to place my wager.

Betphoenix now has Cal -2.5 and ECU +18

[hunterwrot]

Good Luck JDub. Im following your plays. Make me rich. Like back to 50 in my sports account would be huge.

[HoldEmHook!!]

jw, I am on those 2 plays myself (as posted in my thread). I think those are real solid plays. Listening to Wal is a very good idea. He is a class act

lets hope for a great week. I like your plays too. I have a few more but I am not placing them till later in the week. These two games the lines moved today opposite of what I thought they would or I wouldnt of placed the wagers yet.

Play #3.

NC State -1.5

2.2 to win 2


I am playing this game for a couple reasons. I have stared and stared at this game for a few days now. I like NC State only because its at home on Thursday nite and they are playing better football under OBrian this year and I believe it should provide for a good environment to get the win.

I think they win but really I just want to start the week off on a positive note so Im playing NC state.

[hunterwrot]

Jdub I think your on to something. Glad you changed your avatar now I can check out your tread while the wifey is around. Good luck

[stingray14]

You are on the right track, Wal and Holdem are 2 class acts and wont steer you wrong

[jwbama23]

Jdub I think your on to something. Glad you changed your avatar now I can check out your tread while the wifey is around. Good luck

Are you implying that my avatar was inappropriate? haha. Hunter, I will be playing about 2-3 more plays this week but I want to see how my first few games go. If NC State and Cal win before Saturday then I may only make 1 more play and try to lock in some profit. Gonna be a little stingy with my money this weekend.

[jwbama23]

4. Penn State -21

Bounce back game and Boldens chance to prove he is a playa!

[hunterwrot]

Damn I missed your nc state play. Good call. By the way when I was searching for your thread I noticed someone already named jdub. Ill have to come up win another name for you. Jmoney is still available I think but I like bama badass.
Both good handycapper names but I feel more confident following bama badass with my hard earned money. You be the judge

I dont want a name. I am just doing this to learn and see how I can do. I am trying like hell to break down the NFL games this week. I dont like many of the games. Too early in the season to know what to expect in some of these games.

[jwbama23]

NC State winner winner!!!! 1-0 +2 Units

[HoldEmHook!!]

Great way to start positive units. much easier to pull the trigger with house money. And yes I agree a very tough NFL card.

[jwbama23]

adding 2 more plays

Boise State -23.5

Iowa +1

Final card for now
1. Cal -3
2. ECU +17.5 (should of waited and got it at 20)
3. NC State -1.5
4. Penn State -21
5. Boise State -23.5 love the over here too but wont play it until I see how my day is going so far
6.Iowa +1

[thomas6512]

[jwbama23]

i was told to tell you good luck from top dog

Thank you, I am probably gonna need it.

[Big Dave's Picks]

Like the the picks jw and you bring intresting insight to this forum. I appreciate the analysis and look forward to working with you. BOL sir, you have influential mentors that you have followed. Keep up the good work, Big Dave

[jwbama23]

I was warned by a good buddy not to take Cal and not to be against Nevada in this game, he said he had been burned on Nevada before but I had to take Cal anyways. That Pistol offense is sick and Nevada runs it to perfection.

[thomas6512]

i shouldve liston too

[jwbama23]

2-2 -.4 units

[jwbama23]

Iowa -1.5 2nd half 1x

[hunterwrot]

Let's get it back on nfl

[thomas6512]

tuff nite for all

[jwbama23]

Cal -3
ECU+17.5
NC State -1.5
Penn State -21
Boise State -23.5
Iowa +1
Iowa -1.5 2nd Half

4-3 +.4 Units for the week

Sucks

[jwbama23]

Bama -7 10*

Maybe a homer play and if the line moves enough I may buy some of it back on the other side but right now Bama -7 against anyone is a good deal to me.

Ark is tough but they are not elite team tough. The only team I wouldnt lay 7 to with Bama would be Boise State

Brothers for Bama......I am with you as well...........The Tide Rolls

[jwbama23]

Hell yea, I am so ready for this game. I was gonna come up for the UF game but some things came up maybe making it tough to come. Still might go last minute.

On a side note I am already guaranteed SEC Championship tickets again this year......for free
