***Donkwin47's 2011 FOOTBALL Season Thread***
Welcome back, boys!
I cannot tell you guys how long I've been waiting for the football season. I've been so anxious sitting through the lockout until it was lifted, just waiting to start up a thread, now at the start of preseason, and still waiting just a few more weeks until the regular season kicks off!
I had a great year last year, and that has only made this off-season even harder to sit through. Football is my savior when it comes to sports investing, and I'm so pumped to get going this year.
Before we get going, let's take a look back at last year and note a few changes in how I will conduct things this year.
Here is my 2010 FOOTBALL Thread: http://forum.sbrforum.com/college-fo...on-thread.html
And here are my final results:
FINAL NUMBERS
NCAAF YTD: 47-43-3 -$562.50
DONK Plays: 29-21-3+$346.50
NFL YTD: 73-49-8 +$5,412
DONK Plays: 54-37-5 +$4,717
OVERALL YTD: 120-92-11+$4,849.50
DONK OVERALL: 83-58-8 +$5,063.50
(45-24-4 +$7,587.50 on plays of 3* or larger)
(8-1-2 +$3,750 on only Top Plays of 5* or higher)
(1-0 +$1,000 on only 10* play of the year)
As my old friends and followers know, labeling a play as a "DONK" play is just my way of saying I really like it, got a good feeling, kinda like a TOP play. The idea was to make these plays more rare and elite, but as you can see, "DONK" plays made up a large chunk of my overall play tally.
Last year, I began with plays as small as 0.5*, but with my success and larger wagers as the year progressed, by the end of the year it was rare to see me play anything for less than 2*. To make "DONK" plays more rare, and give them that elite status, I will only count plays of 3* or higher as DONK plays. Anything lower will not even be eligible. I kept a side record of my 3* or higher plays and they performed very well. They were also less frequent (naturally) and it was obvious that those should have been the "DONK" plays all along. Since I will be keeping a running record of all my plays for as long as I post on forums, I will adjust that record to fit last year's results with the qualifying plays. So, the running record looks like:
TOTAL NUMBERS
OVERALL YTD: 120-92-11+$4,849.50
DONK PLAYS OVERALL: 45-24-4 +$7,587.50
Hope that makes sense. I know I'll be able to track it all accurately, so that's the only issue. And all that matters is what we do from here on out! Time to get going in 2011 and make some MONEY!!!
In this thread, I will be posting both my NFL and NCAAF plays, just like last year.
I'd like to thank everyone who supported me and chimed in last year, and I'd like to wish everyone BEST OF LUCK this year as I hope we can kill it again like we did last year!
