    College football overs are the easiest to win. Just pick a few per week, usually the highest ones,and hit them.

    Already gave out my secret several years ago.

    Starting over.

    Starting roll $600 (not including bonuses).

    Bet size will be 25-50% of my roll at time of bet. Depending on ROI if I win. I don't bet to win. I bet not to lose. (only a select few on here will understand that statement)

    The end plan will be most of us going to the bank to get loans for all the family money we lost through our love ones because of football

    Hi Troll, er, I mean Rudy.

    If you have read some of my other comments you would know; that I am starting over after using my bank to help fund the 20% downpayment on my recent house purchase. So yeah, I am starting over but I have something to show for my efforts. And in time, I will be back to a $50K+ roll. I'm not in a hurry. I took it there once and will again. I don't need my sportsgambling to get by, I do OK without it. It's more of a long term investment strategy. Not many investments can give me the same return as say, New England moneyline over Miami (and be as safe).

    But that's OK, you keep trolling. It obviously makes you feel better about yourself.

    You can still get +180 3 team 6 pointers ergo funding different books

    no more 2 team +100 that's for sure

    Some say the bookmakers shade lines for teaser protection but you can still find value.

    Everything is +EV if you win at a high enough %. Do you give up return on teasers as opposed to straight bets? Yes. Yes you do. But they are lower risk. I used to play teasers for fun. they were profitable but I didn't have the 80% win rate I wanted and I stopped mainly because it was outside my regular system. take one step away from a system and you open the door to move even further away from the system. so while they were profitable, they were messing with my system discipline.

    My plan is to start slow and grind out a Nice profit. Then when I'm feeling confident I'll increase my bet size and lose. I'll then increase the bet size even more hoping to win those losses back and lose that too. Then I'll go all in on some late night MWC match up that I havent capped at all and lose that bet as well. Then I'll reload and start the process over. Prob do that four or five times throughout the season...

    I didn't get dead last. Almost did tho. Couldn't hit anything last year. I was like 2nd or 3rd last going into the last week. Was trying to lose at that point, but beat a few people.

    And sorry Otters; didn't fully answer your questions.

    Games per week: 1-4 depending on what there is.

    Area of expertise: I do not have one. I am not an expert capper. There are way better here than I. But I ONLY bet football (college and NFL).

    The reason for this is I don't really have the time nor the wherewithal to keep up with the other sports on a level required to be successful.

    I also don't like betting the other sports because they have "throw away" games. Games where people mail it in or sit stars. One loss isn't really the kiss of death that it could be in football (college especially).

    Football only sits out/mails one in when playoff spots are locked in or when a team knows it's playing for a pick slot rather than a playoff spot. Football players just do not mail it in. Their contracts are not guaranteed (the big stars have some portion guaranteed but not the full amount and term of their contracts). In essence every game they are playing for their contracts. And for college at most positions, the difference between 1st and 2nd string isn't that huge. So they are all playing for playing time.

    In my opinion football players are just way more vested in every game than in other sports and my system absolutely requires that.

    My plan last year was to win but when that backfired I would end up chasing on Monday night football, then Thursday night football, then early games Sunday followed by Sunday night football....weed that plan didn't work don't do that...anyone. And occasionally lost my ass on Saturday college.
