I like the Colts aswell. Just wondering here. You're thinking of making the Colts a "lock" but still you're only risking 11 units? You risked 16 units on Seahawks. So did you like the Seahawks more than this possible "lock" Colts play? Hope you understand what I mean!
Oh I'll definately add more units if it is a lock. A lot more.
However, remember that mistake I made last time by adding 2 many units at the start and then running into problems later. I don't want to make that mistake again.

The irony of the week is that if I hadn't changed my initial units, on the NE bet, the STL bet, the KC/PHI teaser, and the SEA bet, I would've made MUCH more profit. So in the end, BetterBizness was arguing for the side that would've resulted in a much stronger week for myself (about double the profit), and me on the side that resulted in still a good week, but much less profit.
Oh well

Though did you finally profit tailing some of my picks?
Don't tell me you were on all of my wrong picks. I even hit my straight picks for you.

I was on the Rams early myself and liked them alot. Also was on the Eagles/Chiefs teaser since both you and ScottLocke was on it, then it gotta be something there right? Also played Pats, and of course both having SL and you putting a small fortune on it made me confident betting them. I didn't like Seahawks though, think they suck and you really don't know what they will display, also the line dropped from 6 to 4.5 with most of the money being on Seattle. Something fishy there and Panthers took a 14-0 lead, Seattle turned it around though, I'm glad they did. Also didn't really like Baltimore, Roethlisberger now has 6 straight wins against them, also felt it was kind of a coin flip, so no play for me there, will no be forcing plays anymore.
I really like Colts aswell, Manning can throw some more interceptions if he like if he throws for another 350 yards. Don't think Titans will be able to score 20+ (???). Colts have been putting up some nice points and after Cowboys, Chargers and Patriots I think they see their chance against Titans. Colts know them very well and know how to beat them being 11-3 SU last 14 games against them. Hopefully we also see some key players coming back into action for Colts.

Also primetime, TNF, advantage Manning. Also Titans have one of the worst pass defenses.
Kinda like Tampa Bay, they have improved over the season and should have a good chance of beating WASH. Bucs also great road team this year.

Haters keep on hatin. But everyone knows the units in this thread have nothing to do with real-life units, and each unit in this thread is worth approximately 1k and I bet based on that. 130+% gain. Real life? Though the unit size is not as big, the gains are 500-600% of my original bankroll.
As I've said all thread
Keep on hating and I'll keep on winning

Actually I have put 100k+ a week only once all year. And that was last week. In fact, I haven't exceeded 10k/game all season till last few weeks. But since my bankroll is bigger I am increasing my bet sizes. And 1k per unit is an example, it doesn't have to be 1k, but the point is it's not $10 either, otherwise I literally would have 100% of my bankroll every week (which I've only done once this year), so it's some big amount, doesn't have to be 1k.
But whatever, profit is profit. And winning picks is winning picks.

The Colts -2.5 line I posted earlier has officially been upgraded to a LOCK. My LOCK team approved it. There was some debate though from the "Vegas" side of my LOCK team, but in the end they ruled that Manning was Manning and the Titans suck.
Since it is a LOCK though, I need to put more units on it. However, the -2.5 line isn't available anymore obviously. So I will have to stick with the -3 line (push at worst), and some on the ML. So adding these bets.
Colts -3
Risk 11 to Win 10
Colts -155 ML
Risk 15.5 to Win 10
Might add some teasers or parlays involving the Colts

In my mind 1 unit should be a fixed sum, say that 1 unit is 100 dollar for example. Then it's easier for those who tail you to see how much you really like a play. And if you increase your bankroll, nice, then increase your unit size to for example 150 dollars, but still bet with the same amounts of units. Easy to tail, easy for you to control and have good money management.
I bet myself normally 1-5 unit, with 3 units being a standard play. Sometimes I bet more than 5 units, but that's in special situations.
Just a tip

Yeah it is kind of fixed. 1 unit = 1k.
Once again, I haven't put many units/game till as of LATE. Actually just last week. My MM team really decided to increase the rate of profits by adding more units in highly projected weeks. It worked last week. Why not continue it?
But I started with 100 units. So 1 unit would be 1% of your bankroll, and you can calculate how large your bankroll is. This is under the assumption though your bankroll is large.
Right now I'm at 232 units, so 1 unit now would be 1/232 of your bankroll.

Anyways these are my plays thus far (like I said, want to keep them updated every page)
Colts -2.5 (LOCK) Risk 11 to Win 10
Colts -3 Risk 11 to Win 10
Colts -155 ML Risk 15.5 to Win 10
2 Team Teaser (6.5 points)
Packers pk
Falcons -0.5
Risk 12 to Win 10
2 Team Teaser (7 points)
Saints -2.5
Steelers -2
Risk 26 to Win 20
One question that will occur is are the Colts -3 also a lock? Well I'm not going to give them the LOCK label since the -2.5 line has already gotten that. However, you can think of that as a LOCK as well, since it's almost the same.

Also, I know everyone is on the Colts heavy. I know that. But I don't really care. A LOCK is a LOCK.
Colts might seem like your "Las Vegas Trap" game. However, in a battle between SSK's LOCK vs. Las Vegas's Trap, the LOCK wins. This occurred earlier this year on CAR @ STL (Rams -3, Trap? But also my LOCK), and the Rams won easily. So don't worry about the "Trap" here.

Why not just buy the hook? Very simple and you could still call it a lock.

I don't know my book didn't allow me to do that. (Bookmaker)
But who cares, either way I win. That's why I got the ML bet in there.

Colts owe me a win after the Cowboys loss last week that cost me big. All they had to do was just win the game. They did everything they could to beat themselves (not like Dallas was doing anything).
But I still believe in Manning, and know he will get the job done this Thursday.

I like your picks a lot but your money management makes zero sense to me again. You, once again, are putting more units on a teaser than you're putting on your lock. BTW I 100% agree with your Colts play, the moneyline for sure.

a lock should have the highest percentage of your bankroll no doubt...ssk you can't keep blaming your teams because ultimately you're betting you're money. you should know common sense...
also you changed your units overall from 132 to 232...you have it wrong...you started with 100...so that's even...you're +132 so your bankroll is 232 total...not overall...
you are definitely not late 20s because if you are you're the dumbest late 20 year old on the planet...
change it back and stop tryin to fool ppl

Here are some plays with good value
Bengals +325
Risk 5 to Win 16.25
Seahawks +185
Risk 5 to Win 9.25
Parlay team recommended this (new approach)
3 Team ATS Parlay
Dolphins +5
Rams +9.5
Chargers -6.5
Risk 5 to Win 29.8
And that's it. From on now the only ATS parlays they do will be low risk high gain, with either spread or public underdogs.

lol?
I have +132% indicating I went up 132%, that number is the most important. The 232 indeed DOES represent my total not my increase. The % represents my increase, and the +232 represents my total.
So it basically says, I am at 232 units right now, and that's a 132% increase from where I started. Nothing wrong with that.

I meant 232 all along. I just put the +232 to let people know that we are talking about positive 232 not negative. I guess that isn't needed.
