    Following Handicappers?
    I have decided that I am not sure that at this point in my sports betting career that I have the ability or the time to correctly identify 55% or more winners. I do believe however that there is enough information online in the various forums and enough picks posted from various handicappers that I can utilize that information in my best interest and reach my 55% & above goal.
    My question is this....
    I have a predetermined selection of handicappers that I use their pick daily. Obviously, there are times that handicappers conflict with each other and times they agree. My struggle is in how to bet it when they agree. I believe that I should give weight to the concensus and add additional units as neccessary.
    I am analyzing the results very closely to look at things like Favs v Dogs, Home v Away, etc.
    Currently when I record my results I give each handicapper the weight of 1 unit each. So if I win a game with 2 units on it. I would record it as 2 - 0 vs 1 - 0. I am concerned that my results may get skewed if I do this because if I technically could be playing more winners than loseres but the weight of the multiple unit games would make it appear differently.
    Does anyonme have an opinion on whether it is better to record wins and losses for each game or wins and losses according to units.

    Greatly appreciate any input.

    Games. Just add your units up accordingly.

    Like if you had 2 units on any one game, record it like this if it won:

    1-0 +2.00

    Lost:

    0-1 -2.20

    That is of coarse using a -110 juice, money lines and reduce juice lines would add up differently of coarse. Just giving a example.
