    Last night for example.

    Colts @ Houston opens PK

    Andrew Luck confirmed out so line moves to -4 Houston

    Colts win 27-20

    Must have been a ton of Houston money!

    Usc -17 lose to Washington

    Whats going on? Do lines mean anything anymore?

    Why the Hell are Washington only a TD dog against High flying Atlanta?

      Did you expect Washington to be +7?

      I was thinking more +10

        This has been my best start in 10 years, primarily betting dogs in spots that I think they have an ok shot to win SU. I hope it continues, but as we all know; it'll probably even itself out over the long run.

            My best start ever. Haven't had a losing week yet. Up more this year than the last couple combined.

              My best year too BUT I changed my betting technique to 3% max bankroll bets and 30 + a weekend rather than fewer and larger bets. Havent had a losing weekend yet and Ive doubled my bankroll so far.

                Brother if I can give you one piece of advice. Do NOT listen to the media, DO NOT read "Expert predictions," - do not come to a forum for a bet, rather for opinions only.

                Make YOUR pick, then bring in all the secondary noise.

                    It's actually been alright for me. Started up a few units in both NFL and NCAA, gave back most and am basically even. Been some frustrating games to watch, not a lot of bad beats though. My usual routine is to start every season in a huge fukking hole, so this is not bad.

                            It's been the best start I've ever had to be honest. What I am doing differently...taking points instead of picking favorites.

                            Spot bet lover for sure!

                              I was expecting Atlanta by 8 1/2. For fundamental cappers I can see why they have found value so far. Now we are getting enough data and the value may decrease?

                              Been about average for me but I expect to do better now that more information is available. Baseball has been great the last 90 days.

                                YTD 23-7 for about +17 units. Best NFL start since I started 6 years ago.

                                  Lol everyone is a winner on here, I am doing well in college football and down a little in NFL. So all in all probably about even.

                                    Defense. Both Washington's underrated and Atlanta's abysmal.

                                        That's because you ignored warnings to stay off the Cards last week.

                                          Haha I'm not winning on college or Pro. Im still trying to find more resources for research like I can baseball. I pretty much only take dogs and I think I was 1-5 last week. Only have dogs again this week.
