2010 Season NFL Picks

[DukeJohn]

Quick Note:

Using today's picks as an example below, the 1st number is the day, as is October 24th. Then the name of the team. Sometimes you will see for example New Orleans / Cleveland, as the name, that would mean I am taking Cleveland. So, whatever team is listed after the / is the team I am going with if you see a / character in the selected pick.

--------------------------

24 – New Orleans / Cleveland +13
24 – Green Bay / Minnesota +3

Had to wait all week to get that +3 Line for Minnesota. Should be an interesting game.

BoL,

24 – New Orleans / Cleveland +13
24 – Green Bay / Minnesota +3

That Cleveland game was fun to watch.

As for Minnesota, Farve was beat up but still kept going. So, close, so close. Well, at least I had more money on the Cleveland game, so that was nice. See ya guys next week.

BoL,

I even lost my other Beat the Pick play... going 0-4, guess it happens to all of us, till next week.

Play smart,

[DukeJohn]

14 – Denver Broncos +1
14 – Dallas Cowboys +14
14 – Cincinnati Bengals +7
14 – Chicago Bears +1.5
14 – Houston Texans – PK

I should have posted some of these earlier in the week but just thought, no one really follows them anyway, so... Today, I woke up late and barely got the picks down before the game started.

I hope I don't do as bad as last week.

[DukeJohn]

You wouldn't happen to have a twitter account would ya? Thanks again.

I might have one, but I never use it.

Nice Job

Thanks

Would have been nice if I didn't use the Houston game in the Beat the prick contest, especially since the prick went 3-1 just like me this week.

[jolmscheid]

Keep it goin' Duke...will you be keeping threads rolling for a long time please??

[DukeJohn]

21 – Kansas City / Arizona +7.5
21 – Minnesota Vikings +3

Although I went 1-3, I still ended up for the day, so that was nice

[DukeJohn]

22 – San Diego / Denver +10

BoL to me,

[jolmscheid]

Obviously your Texans play was weighted heavier Duke?

[DukeJohn]

Obviously your Texans play was weighted heavier Duke?

Yes, unfortunately my Denver play was weighted just as heavy as the Texans play.

[DukeJohn]

22 – San Diego / Denver +10

Heavy loss on this play, but the game continues on...

See ya next time,

[jolmscheid]

Duke, I have been playing your plays for the same weighted amount...but I see that you don't do that...so are you going to post how you play them?

[DukeJohn]

Duke, I have been playing your plays for the same weighted amount...but I see that you don't do that...so are you going to post how you play them?

I started the season with a great run of 9-2 and was doing straight up betting as well as weighted, but once I hit 7.89% ROI on straight up betting, I stopped that way of betting. Although straight up has gone higher for me in the past, from back testing, betting all the plays, it has also lost a few percent, so, I decided on a stop point and I stopped once I hit that goal.

As for my weighted plays some are just straight up chasing, some are not. It just depends on what my "system" says and the methods of my picks I will keep to myself. Just remember most people on the boards do not actually make money from sports betting, but for some reason they all seem to know how to win However the answers are all here you just have to know the right questions and usually those questions are not the ones anyone is asking.

Anyway, your methods of looking into winning strategies seems to be putting you on the right path, you just need to put in the hours and hours of labor. If you stick with a sound money management practice and don't worry about getting rich quick, you will eventually discover something; hopefully that something will be a profitable system.

Best of Luck,

[DukeJohn]

28 – Carolina Panthers +10


Will post all picks on Sunday...

[DukeJohn]

28 – Kansas City / Seattle +2
28 – Minnesota / Washington +2
28 – Carolina Panthers +10
28 – Tennessee Titans +6

BoL to me,

[DukeJohn]

28 – Kansas City / Seattle +2
28 – Minnesota / Washington +2
28 – Carolina Panthers +10
28 – Tennessee Titans +6

Another tough week... Would have been nice to end on a high note, but unfortunately that would not be the case. My 2010 NFL season ends here as my stopping point is the end of November.

Final Record: 21-17 walking away with a 6.31% Return on my starting bankroll for the NFL which for me is a good season.

Best of luck to those that continue the good fight on grid iron
