       Glad to be back this year for another NFL season. I missed out on posting and playing the games for the most part last season. I will be keeping track of all Straight Bets. This includes sides and totals. Every now and then I will post ML parlays, however I will not include these in my record. So if you choose to play my investments, I want you to know that Parlays are not smart Investments. I only recommend that you follow my straight bet plays. Also, I will start my record over at (0-0-0) when the regular season starts. Below you will see a chart that will help both you and me to keep track of how many smart investments we have made thus far. 

I have been handicapping games for about 5 years now; I have made just about every mistake that one can make when it comes to sports investing. Including not keeping track of my ROI, paying a service before researching their past results, and most importantly, not using smart money management. I’m sure we all have at some point or another made these common mistakes when first starting out in the sports investing world. However, only those that learn from their mistakes can go on to succeed and move forward towards your goals of winning. I have family that is also a major part of the sports investing world, I will not be making them known, at any time, so please do not ask because we all have our own systems and tools to handicap games. When I handicap the game I will use many different methods to come to my final decision. I will only invest in those opportunities’ that offer the best value. It is very important to recognize that some weeks I may have more selections then previous weeks and vice versa. It is not of any value to play games just because there is a game being played. It takes discipline and control to retain you from trying to wager on a game just because it is the only one being played that night. Only if there is value and it fits the system after all filters should you wager on a game.

 

       I will also be posting NCAA Football selections in the exact same format. Please, note that my units are simply that, just units. A unit can equal whatever you want it to. I recommend taking your total bank roll and dividing that by 20, or take your total bankroll and multiply by 5%, (.05).  If you do this and invest the exact amount each time, you have a much better chance of ending the season with a profit. Everyone has their own value for 1 unit. i.e. 50,100,25.2000, what is important is that you figure out what your Unit should equal. If it equals 50 dollars and I post a play with 3 units beside it, then obviously you should wager 150 dollars. I cannot stress enough how important this is, if you are doing well and have an increase in your bankroll, DO NOT decide to wager 3X your normal amount and lose the profits it took you a week to earn. If you will be smart, and mange your investments, you WILL see ROI.

  

        We are all here for the same reason, to make some sort of profit. Whether it is just a hobby, or a way to lead you toward early retirement, we all want to WIN!! I am excited to share my opinions and investments with you all. Some plays may not have any write-ups if there is not enough time. However you can rest assured that I Will Not Post any plays that I have not researched and filtered before posting. At the time of posting each play I will use widely available lines, so if you are following my plays note that I will be posting the lines at the time of the post. Sometimes these lines will move against us or to our advantage. So it is entirely your responsibility to wager when and where you can get your best value line. Also, if you lose, then it is your money, it is your choice to make the investment, as long as you are using smart money management then you should be okay. Use your own judgments on how much you should wager each game. This should be an exciting year, many different angles to take and LOTS of new coaches.

 

      I am excited to be posting again this Football season after missing out on sharing my investments last season. I will also be posting NBA plays again this season.

 

Good Luck   Investments4You
