I think to be a winning player everyone needs to have a plan and not all plans are the same (which is fine),mine has changed over the past few months. I try to find as many value plays as I can spending alot more time line shopping than handicapping and betting a conservitve pct of br (under 1%). I also JUMP on any PROFITABLE middle opps and scalps on can find. Lots of play+lots of GREAT numbers= hopefully profit. This style works for me, what is yours?

My style is very similar to yours. My style reminds me of the phrase "The harder I worked, the luckier I got".

what I mean by "value plays" are not settling for anything but a great/unique line, just off from the consenus line. It isn't easy but if you look hard enough you will find some every day.

Limit plays to just the TOP plays, Very selective at this time of the year anyway. 5-10 plays per week. Less Exposure, Less juice to have to pay behind a few loosers. Easier to find 1 or 2 a day than looking, shopping, looking, shopping and much better chance of winning. Play to win ! When something comes along that has REal value make a bet, the grind might be good for some players, but its Better for the maker than you.

not critiscizing insider. Just that i tried this approah (esp NFL) and made power ratings for alot of sports and felt like I out worked the 95% of public but just never really won. Maybe I should have combined that approach with my current style.

Never care for the opinion of people you don't know.
Never look at price movements.
If it's live, and you can lock a profit, do it.

The only time i have a TOP play is something from the Big 12 conference, ALL others rate second to that conference.
Handicapped Big 12 cfb last season, it was right here on the ole Rx every week. Make a few Big 12 cbb plays so far this season also.
As you noticed from post of others above, they limit plays to even one play per day. At this time of the year in the cbb the conferences are tight, and the linesmaker has had plenty of time to get the right number on most ALL games. So there are very very few plays that actually have any Real value.
NFL is Un-Cappable, only college for me. Learned long long ago that the NFL is just for other folks and NOT me.

we are just going to have to disagree insiders. Betting a couple hundred plays a year is a waste of time too me. If you manage to hit 55% (and that isn't proven) over 200 plays you are up 10 units for the whole year and unless your betting 1k a bet (must have at least a 50k bankroll for this). I think you are spinning your wheels. Way too much out there in the "betting world" to limit myself to a play a day . When I asked the question the other day on how many plays a person makes a week on average, their were some crazy numbers.

Iceman.

I had to go search for the records for the cfb season and the bowl season as here they are by being selective in the cfb and very selective in the cbb. Here is the list of records here on the ole Rx as of this time. cfb season and bowl season are ALL combined into the football.

Big 12 Best Bets 26-9
Big 12 Parlays 2-2
Big 12 Med Plays 15-4
Big 12 Small 6-5-1


Big 12 cbb.
8-2 as only ten plays sinse the cfb bowl season was over.
Thats 80 Total plays sinse the cfb started last year.
Not sure what this figures up to be in %.
Naturally the Best Bets were twice as much as the mediums and the small plays figured out to be even as the juice got that one unit.

Well...i Usually Start Out By Betting $50 On A Game Like This Past Sunday...i Lost..so I Doubled Up And Lost Again..there Goes 150.00...so I Bet 330 On The Next Game...loser...i Had 550 On Something Last Night I Forgot...lost That..so I Bet $1000 On The Bulls Game Tonight To To Under 195..cause 195 Never Goes Over, Except For Tonight.....so To Compensate I Did A $2500 Western Union And Took The Over 204 In The Suns Game...which Is Gonna Be A Loser....so If You Do The Math Thats 4500? Gone In 3 Days All Over A $50 Loss Sunday...

But Not As Bad As Losing $7000 In Baseball Last Year In 3 Days Because I Lost A $25 Even Money Total Wager On A Braves Game In Which I Needed 1 Run With Babes Loaded And Nobody Out In The 9th To Go Over 8.5........did They Score....nooooooooooooooo Way Jose.........so I Kept Trying To Double This And That And Lost Like 10 In A Row...

This is called the Martingale system, and it DOESN'T WORK. Please please please try something else.

Was that the game where Roberts ended up on 3rd with no outs in the 9th and Farnsworth wiggled out of it?

I try to find teams that consistently go over a total or under a total. I had been limiting myself to NBA halfs but now have looked at quarters. I'm also compiling numbers to find home favorites that consistently cover the spread.
