So after a rough week and an unsuccessful double down....I'm done for the season. I unfortunately hit my limit, so I'm out. I'll stick around and still cap a bit, but it won't be nearly as much fun.
Good luck all.

Yeah....unfortunately I'm on a budget this year, and after my beat down in New Orleans a couple months ago, I gotta know when to cut my losses. I use to bet consistent units, but I tried a variable approach this year.....similar winning %, but I lost too many big games.
It's okay though, I had a blast, and I'll stick around to cap here and there (that is what I enjoy the most actually, it is a nice break)....though it is always nice when you win money too.

No. What you smell was the Saints defense (or lack thereof)!!

My New Orleans reference was my latest trip down to Harrahs' in N.O....not the game. They put me up for a bit and won back all of the money I took from them the last time down...and then some. The craps table had me for lunch, though they didn't have a sportsbook *BOO!!* but at least I didn't lose money on that!
I'll be traveling pretty extensively for the next few months, so I won't miss it too much. No worries though, I go by calendar year, so maybe I'll be back in Jan.

My strategy is simple boys.....I leave all the picking to the best top ten pickers on this web site. I take the top 10 best bets from the top 10 pickers each week....It's quite simple and you can do the math. I place even amount bets on each team and have been winning since week 3 of the contest when I first started using the picks. Out of the ten picks, if a team plays against another pick, I simply cancel the game. That's it....Good Luck!

I'm definitely going back to my even betting strategy, since there were too many big swings in my previous method.
