    When I first started betting the NFL I would have action on 6-10 games per week. Lots of action with small bet amounts. Thats the best way to learn I believe, and I have done it that way that for many years. But the problem was that I would win the small ones and lose the bigger ones. Have weeks of 6-2 and break even.lol It was a regular occurrence. The last few seasons I'm hitting the bigger bets and losing too many small ones. I'm looking for about 30-40 plays this regular season. I will post my strongest only and not show the weekly grind.

    Betting the NFL is a losing proposition as you need to be 60% right to break even.

    There is a trick to winning. The JB way. You keep doubling and add 20% to be bet until you win and quit.

    Seldom do you lose five times in a row. ( 1 in 32 )

    Bet the minimum first and quit for the year on your third 1st bet loss.

    Only bet the amount you are willing to lose after 5 loses in a row.

    The odds of you being a winner under the JB are roughly 80%.

    No charge. Treat yourself to something as you won. Then STOP.

    -JB


    Blackjack is the best game to bet. Football is the best sport to bet.

    I have lost 5 in a row many times...On the same day ! And Recently ! Beaver ball WNBA has kicked my ass albeit small $25 wagers . First season ever messing with it.

    Nothing wrong with doing a little Martingale and pressing a winning bet.

    But a chase system will put you down quick. Going 2 deep is about as far as you want to go, if you must. Theres a whole section at Covers on chase systems that never pan out.

    Basketball is the best sport to bet. Less moving parts more games, lots of travel etc.

    If you lost five times in a row ( multiple times ), that's rare and you have no luck. Follow my system.

    Actually, I do not. :lolol:

    I've only grazed around the edges of sports betting, but would be interested to hear further explanation. I believe I get the general gist of things.

    I give each team a point for winning a quarter and half point for push/tie and keep a running total . By about week 7 or so you can compare each teams total points and subtract to make a betting line. I call them QLines and discovered this way myself and have never seen anyone mention it but sure someone else out there does it.

    Also I have to track a running total for Time of Poss +/- and line off L/O. For line off, for ex. Steelers are -3 fav and they beat Jets by 10 that's a +7 for Pit and -7 for Jets. All other stats for my line are easy pickings at pro football ref.

    It`s called "My Line " But I didn't invent it. A poster named ACE ACE at a site called theRX showed everyone his version about 20 years ago. I have changed it for my own so it's not his original. He actually started posting again after a long layoff. He is an Ex bookie and is worth reading since he teaches and not just post picks. You need 3 weeks of stats for my line at a minimum.

    I will post my line Steelers games every week and then any for the other games that I wager on. Too much typing for me as I do all games in a notebook. Speaking of typing Iwent cheasp on a keyboard and it doenst have the little light fore CAPS ! jEEZ IT SUCKs

    My line example from last season

    Bungals / Steelers +2.5

    Top +9 (+10) = 0
    Pen 755 - 803 = 48/100 = .48 Cin
    TO +- (-4) +15 = 19/3 = 6.33 Pit
    1DD 345+ 303=648/100=6.48 Pit
    1OF 355+302= 657/100= 6.57 Cin
    3OF 95+86= 181/25 = 7.24 Cin
    3DD 83+67 =150/25 = 6.00 Pit
    RZ +4 -7 =11/3 = 3.66 Cin

    Cin = 17.95
    Pit = 18.81 = Pitt by .86 +4.9 LO = Pit by 5.76


    L/0 Cin -15 + 35 = 49/10 = 4.9 Pit

    Tampa +1 -114 1.5/1.32

    Tampa just flipped to a dog -1/+1 ....58% of cash on Falcons but tickets on Bucs at 68%. For some reason a ML IS NOT AVAILABLE you don't see that often it will most likely be later.

    Bucs lost 2 close ones last season vs. Falcon when Cousins had his best games. I rememeber the thurs nite one because I had Tampa.

    Bucs with Baker have been solid in openers 2-0 and some divisional revenge in order.

    Falcon games are my nemesis so i thought i would get it out of my system early.


    Looking at Packers and a few others.

    GL !

    Steelers +3.5 / Dolphins +7 / Raiders +8.5 .... 1/1.51

    Crossing the ZERO with Steelers is bad form on a teaser but getting 3.5 is solid.

    Could of Anchored with Tampa but Falcons involved.

    Phins crush my teaser but them sucking so bad in the game sets up one of my strongest systems. It will be a fade on Indy next week and PLAY ON Broncos. this system is only good weeks 2-10. The fade teams went 1-4 ATS last year and the plays were posted in my other 2024 thread. Broncs will be a fav so I will need to grab the early line before it moves. The fade teams are 2-16 ATS since 2016

    MNF

    Minny at Chi has a total of 43.5 a tick down from 44 -45 depending on your book

    When these teams meet in Chi, its usually an under 7o /11 u /1p since 06 and 1/4u last 5

    When these teams meet for the first time each season it's also 7/11/1 to the under


    But all that isn`t what I'm thinking about. Its the next matchup between these 2 teams on Nov 16.

    Whatever happens tonight go opposite in next game. That trend is 13-5-1 and a 72% angle.

    It goes back even further because I read about it in a Mark Lawrence PLAYBOOK magazine WAY BACK

    I must admit some seasons I forget because I dont do many totals.
