    The year the Patriots went 16-0 (whichever year that was)

    I took the Pats and Over almost every week and cleaned up. Luckily, laid off the Super Bowl on a hunch

    This year has been the first time I started taking gambling or "investing" seriously- in whatever way you'd like to phrase it, previously it was just a nice supplemental income/hobby. I have had a much better R.O.I. than the stock market could ever offer which is around 10-20% (unless you're an insider), and it's been more fun.

    My biggest year was 2008... hit a 10-team college football parlay (8 teams were money line)... $100 turned into over $10,500... bankrolled my season and i ended up around $80,000. Been chasing that year ever since.

    Pats ended up 10-6 ATS but started 8-1 ATS. 11-5 Overs and started 10-2 Overs.

    Total dominant performance to start the season. I can remember that after making SO much money that the spreads and totals became so unattainable that it was time back off to normal wagers. I was more than happy to give a slice back after the first 2.5 months.

    They covered the follow early:

    -16.5 vs Buffalo
    -16 vs Cleveland
    -15.5 @ Miami
    -14.5 vs Washington
    -15.5 @ Buffalo

    After the Buffalo game in Week 11, the speada the rest of the year were -24, -18, -10.5, -20.5, -22 and -13

    2012. This actuAlly wasn't my biggest profit year but it was a fun roller coaster. Won over 40,000 playing 5/10 and 5/10/25NLHE. Then had about a 30,000 downswing followed by another 25k upswing. This 5/10/25 played more like a 50/100 since most were straddling for 50-75 continuously. Wasn't hard to loose say 15,000 in a week if you had a couple bad sessions. At the end of the year I was up around 5k.

    Since then I've regressed to playing 2/5 and 5/10 NL where on a yearly basis I'm +\- 10k. 2012 was a fun one haven't had that much variance lately.

    Maybe 15 years ago probably up about 45,000

    After that lost every year or even a few

    If you lose two grand or less basically breaking even

    Lifetime probably down about 300,000

    Hit a 3 horse win Round Robin and the shortest price was $12.80.

    So you're finally admitting you've never won at this?

    Good stuff. Honesty is the best policy Seaweed. Good to come clean.

    Now the next step is to learn how to win.
