If u bet NFL, what are your target goals for the season?

**Waterstpub87** · 09-02-17, 05:08 PM

Betting 1 unit a game, I would be happy with +10 units at the end of the season. With only 268 games or so, I will probably make 100 bets or so (Not counting Props).

O/U are the way to go...Skip the spreads for the most part

About 3 games per week, max 4, which would render a max number of spreads and totals of 68 plays. So hopefully a little less due to not loving week 2 or 17, 60+ plays.

Since most will be -110, I'm aiming for 60% and/or an ROI of 1.15

8 units. No target ROI for NFL. If I clear 8 then the ROI will work itself out to whatever it is. Just hope it's not too crazy of a seaon for me.

Im not new to sports more directly football but this is only my second season betting, last year I bet a few weekends but this year Im trying to lay a bet every weekend. Im laying $5 bets on average plays but every once in awhile I'll find a good play an drop $20+.

Consistently beat the closer with decent weekly volume.

This fall is the 50th anniversary of my wagering on football. In 1967, my father brought home a football parlay card and explained it to me. I've been hooked ever since. I've learned a lot over the decades. My only advice is to stick with $5-$20 bets and have fun.

I'm finding good odds on the teasers.. keeps my jonesing under control and my units up... That said I could be placing prop bets on Jay Cutler by the end of the year... happy to be up 2-5 units when it's all said and done haha

This should really be everyone's answer. You can't control the outcomes of the games, just beat the closing lines.

Get better number than Colin Cowherd!

1) How many Net Units do u think u can clear?

2) What is your target for ROI?

1) I don't do units.
2) 20-60x

I bet a lot sometimes up to 20 bets a week just NFL. I don't care about ROI as long as it's positive. What matters is $ won.

What's the point of 30% ROI if you only make 1-2 bets a week? I'd rather bet 1000 times a week with 1% ROI

**hubie69** · 09-25-17, 12:24 PM

Goal #1. Don't bet the NFL.
Goal #2. Don't bet the NFL.
Goal #3. Why would anyone bet the NFL?

Because all I do is win

Asia, you are correct, I think people bring it up as a benchmark for comparison historically vs yourself, or against others. Of course, volume is great ... if you stay positive. But that collides with vig and I think a general max in information, at some point or another.
