Last week 1-0. Season total 1-0. +100 units

This weeks pick. Oregon -1600, available at the William Hill Shops. A loss kills me this season, but it would be worth it to see all of the Oregon homers take a leap from the tallest building they can find.

If you do not want to lay that much, I suggest Texas -280, also available at William Hill Shops.

Bet you don't see a lot of rebel flags in Palm Springs, do you? I see them here all the time in Alabama. Usually in trailer parks and places such as that.

Actually you see more than most people would expect. The greater Palm Springs area, made up of several communities, is really a melting pot of Liberals, Conservatives, Old, Young, and just about anything else you can think of. The one common thing these areas have is great food. Pricey, but great.

The fact is this. While all of you tend to laugh at these picks, I win ALL of them. If I wager 1K per pick, that nets me 10K per season, more than 90+% of the people in here win. It takes money to make money, and I have money. Again, while most of you just sit there and think up of smart a** comments to make, I go to the bank on these picks.

Serious reply here: I don't think people are criticizing your particular plays. They are saying you lose one time over 8-10 weeks, you lose your entire profit margin. I saw guy bet $90K to win $10K, down the drain (granted it was an EPL game with Man U (even dumber)). Everyone is contending that the majority of your games will win with ease, is the risk worth the reward.

I understand this, but to be perfectly honest, I have lost one of these games in the past 5 yers, tht being the 2008 Notre Dame-Syracuse game which I lost by a point. That was at -1300 and gave me a profit of 100 units, or one game. The rest have been gold. One of the secrets is to try and stay away from Conference games. Right now I am up 100 units, and if Oregon wins on Saturday, I will be up 200 units. If they lose, I am down 1500 units but have the pleasure of watching all of the Oregon Homers in here have their season ruined.

So you're laying 16,000 to win 1,000 here on Oregon then?

I have read many of your threads diligently, and though you are abrasive in spots, you seem to also know what you're talking about in many instances. However, I am not sure how anyone can condone laying this type of number consistently. I know there can be value in large favorites, if the real number should be higher, especially in sports like UFC and boxing, but have never seen anyone that is long term profitable betting TEAM sports that continually lays these types of moneyline favorites.

That being said, I am NOT looking to start a feud here. I wish you the best of luck and hope that you have a profitable season.

Good Luck!

I don't understand your math. If you wager 1k per pick and there are 12 weeks in the season but for the benefit of the doubt lets say you actually play 14 picks including 2 extra bye weeks, then you would wager 14k for the season. We all know that a moneyline of +140 pays 100. So it figures that to win 1000, you need to wager 1400 and so on when the moneyline equals +140. However thus far, your average moneyline wager has not been +140, rather your average wager has been +985 thus far -- (1600 + 370) ÷ 2 = 985

Consequently this means that if you wagered 1k per week at +985, your return every week would average just a little over $100 per week with a net return of $1421.32 to be exact if you wagered $14,000 for the year -- not a $10,000 profit as you claim but far less than that. $1421.32 is only about 1/7th as much as $10,000. Therefore if you expect to win $10,000 you would need to wager about 7k per week for 14 weeks or about 100k on the season to make $10,000 when wagering at the odds you have used thus far. (+985 avg.)

Bottom line is -- your fuzzy math doesn't work here.

At the rate you are playing, while risking $14,000 ($1000 per week) you stand to win $1400 this season, $350 per month = $12 per day .
