I do 25 dollars parlays for the first and second sets of games. I had to learn money management the hard way.

NFL is definitely my passion i bet generally $100-300 straight wagers only no parlays or teasers.Those parlays pay nice but they will kill you, in the long run.

A little early still whats your ave bet per nfl wager, what type of wager(s) , and how many games per week do you wager on .

The standard bets are Point Spread, Money Line, Over/Under. Then you'll have prop bets which basically include everything else such as alternative pointspreads, player props, team props, etc.

It depends on what betting options your bookie will lay. If you bet online, some places offer quite a lot of props, which is nice. Other places only lay the standard stuff.

As far as how many games to bet, it all depends on what the lines are at and which lines give you a decent handicapping edge. Some weeks (especially early in the season) seem to have more soft lines. Around week 10, it seems like the lines get kinda tight, but that's just my opinion. Just bet when you have a good edge, and lay off when you can't find an edge.

My NFL investment manefesto goes like this:

1) First determine how much I have for the entire season.
(this year will probably be about $25,000)

2) Divide the amount in bullet 1 by 100 ($25,000/100 = $250)
to get a unit amount invested.

3) Preseason is worth 8 units played anyway I feel.

4) Regular season is like this:
For each week I pick (1) best play being either a Against the spread or under/over investment.

Weeks 1 and 2 are worth 8 units each
Weeks 3 through 15 are worth 10 units each
During week 3 through 15 there is one week witch will be called my NFL Super Nova Lock of the Moment that is worth another 5 units for 15 units total on that game.
Weeks 16 and 17 are worth 8 units each

5) Playoffs are worth 2 units each and usually only 4 games are invested in for the entire playoff season

6) Super Bowls are worth up to 5 units max and can be a parlay,prop, or whatever seems to give value.
