Week 5 Money

8-20-4 ytd   I have seen alot of things in my life and I have been very fortunate in my life, however, this has been a tough week.  I haven't every witnessed someone going 0-11 in one day, much less ever went through anything like that.  I made some very poor picks and had some bad luck on some.  The reason I have been so successful with betting in the past is because I have always been able to adapt regardless of the situation.  I was excited going into this past week because I had gone 2-4 for two consecutive weeks and just knew I would bounce back and win.  Little did I know the worst weekend of my gambling life was ahead.  When Saturday began I started off poorly of course but was okay mentally as I followed the Air Force game, I felt great about that play for the entire game and knew it was going to win, when the bottom fell out and the Aztecs got the miracle cover I was mad for about an hour.  Then I started losing everything in sight and was no longer mad.  I was now shocked.  Anyhow, I had today to reflect on things and I could either hang it up for the season and just wait until next year or I could just pretend it didn't happen and start fresh with a new attitude and try to chip away at my early season losses.  I chose to keep going, probably because I have never failed at anything I decided to do and probably because I just think I can adapt to the lines and win.  Maybe I will turn out to be the best fad...

Random Thoughts from Week 3

USC losing @ Washington is flat out absurd, I think Pete losing so much of his coaching staff each year is taking it's toll, he is still good enough by himself to outcoach the likes of Tressel but he can't lose at Washington, I know the Huskies are improved and showing some fight, but come on, no other top program would seemingly lose at Washington in my opinion unless everything in the world went wrong

Congrats to Washington and their fan base, Steve S is a solid football guy and has that program heading in the right direction, just goes to show you how bad of a coach Ty Willingham really is

Oklahoma State is just overrated, a win over that half ass Georgia team doesn't look so great now after watching their offense continue to sputter against teams like Houston and Rice, at one during the 4th quarter last night Rice was equal to Ok St. in total yards, that is laughable, no wonder I can't get on a winning streak

Cincy continues to impress, that team is the real deal as far as the Big East is concerned and the clear cut favorite to win tha... [More]

Week 3 Money

Week 1     4-1-1 Week 2     2-4-0 Total         6-5-1 (55%)     What to take away from Week 2 Handicapping I was completely wrong with Oregon and on the wrong side of that game, my other 3 losses were by a combined 6.5 points, so that is now a total of 4 losses on the year by a combined 9 points, I'm going to be on the right side of some of those numbers eventually so can't get bent out of shape at this point, just part of the deal     What I learned from Week 2 Games Chip Kelly was one of the best offensive minds in college football the past few years but it appears he is suited to be a coordinator, not a head coach, his team is heavily penalized and they show no accountability, the Ducks look bad right now in most areas   USC's offensive coordinator cost USC the cover last night and almost the game, his play calling was a joke, it kept the Slowkeyes in the game and Pete C will need to get things ironed out with him as the season goes forward or they will lose to a team they shouldn't lose to, they already miss Steve S as he appears to be a coaching mastermind at UW right now   Houston is a better football team than Georgia, they basically did what they wanted to against Oklahoma St, I watched UGA play South Carolina last night and those powerful SEC defenses were looking wonderful as usual, the Cocks scored 7 points against NC St and UGA sco...

Getting ready for NCF Week 2

the worst thing about the start of college football is having so long to evaluate the opening week card, I could honestly bet every game for the first week and feel somewhat good about my side because I have looked at every angle of every matchup more than once, that being said I'm going to stay with my routine and limit my number of games and start getting ready for Week 2, if I look at the Week 1 matchups again I might actually throw up, I'm already sick of the games and they haven't even been played yet   Week 2 Matchups   Stanford @ Wake not quite sure what to make of the Baylor/Wake matchup and I'm hoping that Wake with squeak by Baylor so I can get some line value for Stanford, I think the Cardinal should be a better squad this season than Wake and should be able to beat them at their place, Wake must beat Baylor first or I won't even look at this one   Byu @ Tulane the Mormons may be looking to take out some frustration on the Wave if they get buried by the high powered Sooners, if OU wins big then I will be looking at a possible Cougar road chalk here   Texas @ Wyoming anything in the 20's here and I'm on the Horns, Wyoming isn't even going to be competitive here and I'm looking for Mack and Co. to have a chip on their shoulder, Texas wins big here   TCU @ Virginia I need to look into the Horned Frogs this year before I get too excited about this one, but my initial feeling is that UVA is in trouble, I think the Cavs will be brut...
