13-1 NFL run. This weeks thread

Had a nice run this season. 13-1 posted here. I checked my season on the site I use and i had 12 win weeks, 4 losing weeks including 31-10 in the NFL.

A couple of things worked in my favor this seaon.
1. I didnt bet over my head and was comfortable losing the amount risked.. THIS IS HUGE! Scared money really is dead money so off a Loss I was totally comfortable coming right back and doing what I do.. I had confidence, ready to kick the door in with smart plays that made sense.
2. I barely payed attention to any coverage of football. I mean I checked highlights and injuries but never did I give a shit about all the idiots who are payed to give you their opinion on TV.. and theres a lot of them. I tuned out and checked lines eary and late in the week and went with what I liked.
I read, meditate and watch the office for amusement.
3. Never overthought a play
4. Rarely checked service plays. I spot play a guy here or there I feel has a good play in nice spot but for the most part my plays were my opinions.
5. You may find this insulting or odd, but I model the way I conduct my betting like the Patriots conduct their football team... If you dont get that then your prob a Panthers or Seahawks fan
6. Did I mention I meditate..

All that said..
I get this week could be a total shitshow so dont jump on as a leap of faith.. anything can happen!

Ive been doing this for years and have seen someone have a nice season and then has a bad week and someone is pissed cause they followed and have no idea of bankroll management or being disciplined.
in the end, follow your heart ..


Pats -3 -120 300/250
Giants -3 -140 350/250


again, I am up and prepared to lose these units if I have to
.. Obviously I dont want to heading into the playoffs.

good luck!

may add more later on this week.

Are you 31-10 or 13-1 in the NFL? There are two records there.

Great job!! You did buy a lot of points and risk more vig than most would be comfortable with (I see mostly -140 and -150), so I would have made that number 1 in your 'things that worked in your favor'. Good job though, not trying to diminish your success. Maybe it is a good idea to lay heavy vig. Just seems like a couple losses and an impressive W/L record doesn't pay a whole lot.

true. the last few weeks of the season is when i manipulate a line a bit.

I think this has only really come into play once or twice since i posted here.. other than that I didnt need to buy the points.
I think of it like an MLB moneyline and then I get a certain feel for how a team is likely to win in the situation they are in. I like favorites and can remember only playing the Packers +7 against the Jets way back.. i hate underdogs.. but i've been good at choosing the right favorites i guess.

I hate the -4 lines on the road, hence buying the point in the Giants game..

As stated, I am up so a loss wont kill the bankroll.
best of luck!

Texans -3 -120 300/250 i think jax knows colts will win and and get hit in the mouth by houston while mulling that over.. Texans still looking to build to be a contender and made a little progress this year..I expect an effort here to spoil the already slim Jax hopes.


may have one or 2 more..
