Adding:

San Fransisco 49ers (-160) +7 for 0.5U

Carolina Panthers -2.5 for 1U

Arizona Cardinals +3 for 0.5U

[Spedizzo]

San Fransisco 49ers +225 ML risking 0.25U to win 0.5U

4 Team 13 point (-140) Teaser: San Fransisco 49ers +18... Arizona Cardinals +16... Carolina Panthers (+10.5)... Denver Broncos (+11.5) for 0.75U

[Spedizzo]

Denver Broncos -1 for 1.5U

[Spedizzo]

I highlighted all finished games depending on the results and will update final units for the day later tonight. I will also use this thread for MNF tomorrow night.

[Spedizzo]

Will update later... Broncos just won which was my largest wager of the night... Decent first day... I hope everyone did well and is excited about the new season!

[Spedizzo]

Adding:

Oakland Raiders -1 for 2U.

Chargers are missing a lot of key players, Oakland at home, Carson Palmer traditionally does well against the Chargers... Just seems like the logical wager if there was one.

[Spedizzo]

Pulling the trigger on this teaser:

13 Point Teaser (-140): Oakland Raiders +12, Oakland Raiders/San Diego Chargers Over 34, Baltimore Ravens +6, & Baltimore Ravens/Cincinnati Bengals Under 54.5 for 1U

[Spedizzo]

Looks like my teaser is toast unless there is no more scoring in the last 14 minutes of the 4th quarter... I am chalking it up as a loss... was not expecting the Ravens to blow it open like this, jeeze.

Adding:

7 Point Teaser: Oakland Raiders +6 & Oakland Raiders/San Diego Chargers Over 40.5 for 0.5U.

On a side note, you know Episode 4 was A New Hope. Episode 1 was the Phantom Menace.

BOL

[Spedizzo]

Yes... that really wouldn't tie into the start of Football season though =P... but the Phanton Menace would have been a great title for today. I got murdered.

-4.2U on the day.
-0.15U on the week.

Bankroll at $1,985.

I got reckless with money management and deviating from my original strategy of "small" wagers until things settle in. Oh well... see you guys on Thursday.
