    The NFL is too hard.
    The lines are too efficient.

    There is literally no edge anywhere.

    Every game is a coin flip, and most come down to a play or two.

    Anyone claiming to hit over 56% or so is either lying, or LT Profits.

      If you play the card, or every TV game you will get buried...

      But 1-3 plays per week or so and not auto betting prime time games, you can beat it

          Its all about QB's and nothing else

          Giant listen to me and maybe some day you have the finer things in life

          Do you think I would wear a 2 dime rug and look spectacular if I did not have the ability to pick winners??

              agree with giant look at how close these were to the spread the first 2 weeks when the lines are supposedly "soft"

                there are very few people who can win in nfl because of market efficiency and small sample size, one knowledgeable person in another forum gave out a number 500 out of 10,000 win, only way to beat it is with a very good statistical forecasting model, and your right , gotta pick your spots, ncaa foots and baskets are easier. I follow a guy whom is one of the best out there in reading the market and he went 1 and 4 last week

                  why not just say 5 out of every 100 or 5%?

                    always baffled me that the toughest sport to beat gets the most bets, at least in america

                    i guess people are just gambling and like how every bet comes down to the last play

                    totals are even fairly sharp, sometimes you can exploit weather later in the year though

                      Lost one game, as the last leg of a parlay.

                      Everything else has cashed.

                      Points seem to be your friend, before game.

                      Anyone can beat anyone, and that matters. JAX excluded.

                        I just think dog when wagering NFL. Hope you connect on one... and stop wagering until you find another opening somewhere in a game. I think vegas tipped the Miami/Indy game 2nd half line. Just fade it. They kind of told you who was going to win. IMO

                              I bet one game today. Fukkin bears loser

                              Had a great day yesterday. There are no Oregon's in the nfl right now where the spreads should be 40 in most of their games but the books won't put em up that high. Maybe Denver can be that team. Don't trust them though.

                                Think about your average moron in your office who is also an NFL fan. Think of said moron crowing each week about how NFL games will turn out. How they act like they know everything. Now imagine said moron thinking he can get rich quick by betting NFL games.

                                      don't ignore the value of teasers considering teams situational strengths and getting off key numbers.

                                          That's why I bet college football for profit, and the NFL for fun. Made a ton yesterday and have no plans to give it back today.

                                            it isnt that bad you just got to study the games a lot more than you do any other sport. I guess the sure games will be w/e the spread in denver plus green bay at home and over in redskin and eagle games

                                                If you killed the closer with the Giants, Browns or Jags, congrats -- you're 0-3.

                                                        Seaweed is hitting like 23% this season.
