    ..There's no chance of winning with this league. Absolutely no way. If the Texans didn't pull that out I would have been shot someone.

    Bet College football all day and all night and stay away from the NFL. Knowing what a pro team is going to do after a week off is impossible.

    This was a tough weekend, no doubt. Those losses at the end by Philly and Oak really hurt. What makes this bearable for me is the fact the Texans came back and beat Washington.

      You have no chance at any sport, it is just gambling and we do for the action.

        Not true. A good baseball handicapper can put it together year in and year out. Offices in the old days use to shut down for the summer because they were afraid of sharp guys.

          NFL is difficult no doubt, but college fb can be crazy too.

            come on - easy enough to win in the nfl if you take good teams in good spots like packers -13 and chargers -7 today

            if you keep betting on teams like the texans on the road and raiders anywhere you will have to pray for every dollar and when you come up short of course it's "the game's fault" and "nobody can win"

              I think College is easier to find angles for games, but juding a whole sport after 1 bad week seems a little hasty.

                Yeah, yeah, just take "da good teams" and you will do fine

                Chances you would still be saying it's "easy enough to win in the NFL" if your two square picks lost = 0

                  I agree.....I stick with college sports, I learned my lesson to stay away from NBA and NFL....but of course I can't so I just play a smaller bet size.

                    Philly put a foot in my ass. That really hurt the psyche. That ticket looked cashed and ready to walk up to the counter but not so fast. Horrible.

                        In the NFL the best advice I have hear is to pick your spots very selectively...

                            The first 5 weeks of the season I only play 4 games every week. I went 2-1 today and have one more game pending tomorrow. This is how you survive the season.

                              NFL is the easiest league to bet on.

                              Unless you think like a sports fan, well the Jets suck, they can't score, can't do anything, the pats are so amazing they will roll the jets easily.

                              You don't deserve the houston game, but keep making plays like that and league will be hard for you.

                                No doubt the NFL is sports gambling's biggest stage and can be the most difficult to profit from each year. Picking your spots carefully is a must.

                                  This was the craziest four days of betting in my life! I'm going to post all my bets later tonight. I have never had the wild swings in bankroll like I had this weekend.

                                    Was happy with my only 3 ML picks Chiefs, Bengals, Steelers. They were the only 3 underdogs that I thought had a chance to win....and they did.

                                            Remember last year when betting on big favorites at home was a layup for like the first six weeks?

                                            Yeah this year....not looking quite so easy.

                                              It was a very tough week for MOST. As always Money Management is key... One week shouldn't hurt you that bad.

                                              Good Luck the rest of the way!

                                                    NFL is easy. You just have to actually understand the game, and know what teams are trying to do.

                                                      How do you bet on the World Wildlife Fund? Betting on which animal goes extinct first can be a little boring, and time consuming.

                                                        Unless you think like a sports fan, well the Jets suck, they can't score, can't do anything, the pats are so amazing they will roll the jets easily.

                                                        You don't deserve the houston game, but keep making plays like that and league will be hard for you.

                                                                Chances you would still be saying it's "easy enough to win in the NFL" if your two square picks lost = 0
                                                                i said take good teams in GOOD SPOTS never just said take big favorites

                                                                so my picks were square just because they were easy blowout winners?
                                                                only 56% of the action was on the chargers in that game so they were hardly loved by everyone.

                                                                i have been ahead every single year since the early 90s (granted mostly through bonus whoring/scalping) how about you?

Week 2 is by far my favorite week to bet NFL cause everyone, media helps this, overreacts to the results of Week 1. I had Cin at -2 and NYJ -1 and when they both were getting points and all the money going against them? easy play my friends.

                                                                    anyway, if you are having trouble with the NFL, I hope you at least are tracking your plays. playing too many favorites or too many Unders? Is there any pattern at all to your bets? Are you capping your own plays, or are these from trusted outside sources. I wish everyone could win, and am more than willing to help anyone I can. I can't help much, but get a solid foundation to move forward on.

                                                                    here is a freebie for all: stay away from DD faves in the NFL. well below 50% ATS over the last 300+ games. except for this week when I back the Ravens. 34-3.
