First of all, thanks for this thread. But sort of like my complaint with Joel Deze listing a win loss record, now that you are occasionally taking huge money line favorites, posting a win/loss record is misleading. The actual money lost or money won is the only relevant stat that would not be misleading, and that would only be true if your bets were in the same general dollar area, which they have been.
If you want to, I would say you should post a win loss record for all games that you lay 110-100, as that would be something that can be easily applauded, or not!

okay, I accept your suggestion
so far I am 12-5 on standard bets paying 10/11
and 3-2 on money line bets
I hope that is more acceptable to you and others
from now on I will post as such

Meaning you are betting 2200 to win 880? If I were you since it is the exact same bet just doubling the amount I'd count it as one bet. Just my opinion.....

I'm counting it as 2 bets just because it's easier when I choose to figure out the ROI (return on investment) that every single bet was for $1100.
How I record it in the moneyline wons/losses is not so important because the bets on the moneyline are for all different amounts to be won.
The critical thing (to me) is the total amount wagered and the total amount won or lost and the percentage thereof.
Anybody who wants to can at any time multiply the no. of bets by $1100 (and subtract 1 because I one time split one $1100 dollar bet into 2 parts) to get the total amount of money wagered. Then with the amount won or lost it is very easy to figure out the ROI.
I prefer to do that when I am finished, not with every results posting.

Quote: waxie22I am enjoying your picks! Try to keep them coming if you can. I am going to start betting with you on the -110 and better picks but at the 100 level. I don't like when you lay 990 to win 236 and picks like that.
thanks waxie22 - I know a lot of guys don't like bets like that but what can I do? so many of the spread bets look so very iffy.
the bet last night where I laid $990 to win $236 there was a 40 point differential between the 2 teams home/away and to me the bet had value even if it was a small amount. I bet a small amount on the spread where I saw less value to increase the total return.
Please read the next post. GOOD LUCK!!!

I'm going to take a break.
It is a lot of work for me to find what I consider to be a good bet and there seems to be fewer and fewer of them.
The sharks are jumping on the soft early lines and turning them into mediocre lines very quickly.
Maybe I'll resume in the future I'm not sure.
.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Here is the financial report:
ROI (return on investment):
29 bets of $1,100 were made equaling $31,900. 4 bets were made equaling $2,200.
Total amount wagered was $34,100.
Total profit was + $5,803.
17% of all the money wagered was returned as profit.
......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
I should have done better. I'm still learning and I admittedly made a couple of terrible bets.
Georgetown -20.5 over Howard was a horrible bet. I must have been drunk to have made a bet like that.
I hope some of you guys made some money.
