Yes I started at $80, and now its around $400.
Now obviously, I did not do that my betting 5% of my bankroll per bet at most like this thread. So no $1 or $5 bets. The min bet to place was $10, so I couldn't place anything lower than anyways. And some of those MLs early (I won a +330 and +240 Straight ML Plays) had risk $10 and win ____, which gave me a good start. Over here, I did like risk 3%, instead of risk 10% on those underdog MLs, which luckily I won.
But anyways
This thread assumes a very large bankroll (100 units) of like 100k and based on that I place unit amounts with smart money management. So it's legit.

Anyways, I got a look at some lines. Tough lines this week. But I do see some good potential. So it will be another profitable week.
Plays to be posted tomorrow

You know bro, I get your point. But please trust.... when you actually want to be $1,000 a game, it becomes much harder. I know in theory it seems you would follow through with the same logic and reason, just add 1 or 2 or 3 Zeros... but things change.

How so? Explain. I'd do exactly what I do in this thread. Which is btw different from real life (not picks but betting amounts). I've been cautious betting in this thread, unlike the small amounts in real life, so there is a degree of cautiousness that one would have with a larger amount.
But otherwise, it's all the same.

I do not think its all the same for a multitude of reasons.. but nothing I say will get you to change your disposition, so lets just agree to disagree.
I notice you do not have your Thursday Night play up yet. Are you going with the slight favourite at home again, such as the case was with ATL last week?
I myself think MIA is the right play. I think they finally have their best QB option playing tomorrow. Furthermore, the Bears are 3-1 on the road, but it is deceiving. Their 3 wins have come against teams with a combined 4 wins on the year, and their 1 decent opponent, the NYG, they lost 17-3. I think tomorrow will be another repeat. I bring this up, because I think both teams will revert back to the mean. Miami, being 1-3 at home, is due to win a few more by seasons end.

I respectfully disagree... and thus would AGREE with SSK (for real)... It is not harder in the least to add zero's to a wager and make the same picks...
With YOUR money...
In fact, Chile, if you give me $100,000 this weekend to bet for you I will give you an ENTIRE card of just 4 games that are SURE to come through....at least 3 anyways... probably 2... and in that RARE instance... 1 or 0... But that would never happen... lets be honest...

Good analysis... I'm not so much about the "due" factor, but you think with the talent level, the schedule they have left, and the position they're in, that they SHOULD get more than ONE home win this season... if just from Regression to the mean...

Without a doubt I'm leaning on Miami
But you have to remember I only bet ATS picks that I'm 80+% certain to win. That is why I am 8-0. These are highly selective picks, consisting of "Near Locks" (80-90%) and Locks (90+%) picks. Unfortunately I don't think Miami falls in either category. So that would not be an ATS pick.
Could be ML though, as I am less selective there. Will look into the probabilities and so on later today.

Good luck SSK.
Eager to see who you are on this week.
In fact, I have no LOCK picks this week. 1st week after a while I don't have a LOCK. But remember, I only average 0.8locks/week, so there will be weeks without locks.
Nonetheless, there are some games I really like (All these are from Greek btw)
Raiders +290
Risk 4 to Win 11.6
Seahawks +450
Risk 2 to Win 9
I really like both games. Good value plays, especially Raiders. Seahawks are a hit-miss, but I'll
definitely be including the Raiders in some kind of parlay ATS as well later this week.
Other bets:
Patriots -200
Risk 10 to Win 5
Confident Brady, who hasn't lost at home regular season since 2006, will win. Come on now.
Rams +3
Risk 5.3 to Win 5
Keepin my 8-0 ATS streak going with this pick. It's a "Near Lock".
I will have more plays later this week. Some parlays, and as you know, last weekend my parlays saved the day, so look for them again. Might have another straight-play ATS or ML, but we'll see. I'll probably include my next strongest leans in some parlays.

Im surprised you have not mentioned the Ravens yet. I think they will decimate the Panthers. The panthers can barely put up points as it is, and with over 1 week of rest, I think the Ravens will come close to shutting them out. Furthermore, I think they are angry as fuk about their loss in ATL last week and will be out to prove a point and will probably win by 20+ points.

Good, though I'd be worried about the over 29 the most. You should've had something else there

I've made that pick in most of my contests, so I like it. It just missed the "Near Lock" category. And I definitely will be including it in some parlays.
Overall, you may have noticed I did not high my overall units/game amount even though I said I was. Well that's because I don't like this week as much as usual. So I've kept it low.
Nonetheless, it still should be a profitable week.

As I said earlier, there is no point of seeing the link because you cannot see our plays anyways.
But if Mighty Ducks is too embarrassed to tell you the results, I'll keep you updated.

Are you talking about Miami? I don't think you posted any other NFL picks.
But yeah, Miami should win. Its not a LOCK (90+%) or a "Near Lock" (80-90%), but it's still a nice pick, I'd probably say 65-70%. It's a good pick.

Adding these 2 bets to make up Thursday Night. Basically replacing Miami with the Titans, who also I think should cover.
Parlay
Titans -7
Jaguars -125
Risk 2 to Win 4.9
Raiders +7.5
Ravens -10
Titans -7
Eagles -3
Risk 2 To win 22.5

Yeah I said Miami was NOT a lock. Obviously my LOCK picks don't lose like that. You know my LOCK record.
I see you are leaning and even betting some on the Falcons this weekend. Despite knowing I am on the Rams and I am 8-0 ATS this year. I hope you don't pick Atlanta in the contest, or that is most likely going to cost you the week because as you know I'm on the Rams.
