I just want to say thank you for all the hard work you put into this wiseguy.
It is gonna be a great year.
You make 8% of your bankroll bets?
woooow, you got some big balls there buddy
You do a great job educating the teeming masses on sharp college football betting. I like that you keep your bets down to a bare minimum of the few with the greatest value.
Let the good times roll. By the way our backgrounds are very similar. I too am an Illinois resident that made his living managing construction jobs.
Lets get them greedy stinkin books.
LZ , Thank you for the kind words, I appreciate it. I try to be a good citizen on the forum and share whatever information I can. It's nice to know that someone acknowledges that they actually read it. As far as wager size goes , I use a modified version of Kelly to determine bet amounts. Once I am able to establish a MOV for a matchup , and I know the line , I can then determine my probability of being successful and wager accordingly. Knowing my win probability lets me bet more on fewer games and increases my rate of return. Really , another Illinois Construction veteran . I've got some great memories of my time back there and whenever I go back , It's nice to revisit some of my handiwork and the clients I've served.
LZ , Thanks again, and Best of Luck this Season.

I've been performing my preliminary due diligence on Week 2 matchups due to the fact that I will only cap games between teams that played another FBS team in Week 1. That leaves me only 10 games for Week 2. Other than my Week 2 GOY play , which I bought in July, ( that line has changed dramatically and I may not have an opportunity to buy more at a favorable price ) , I may not have another play in Week 2 but I may be able to add to my GOY position, currently at 12 % . This is the only problem with being too selective. Hopefully the books will give me something to work with.
This is it guys , the week we've been waiting for. Best of success this week and throughout the season as well.

Sorry , I looked at this again
What I was trying to say is after I bought the GOY play , the line moved away from me and outside my value model. I'm hopeful that when the books post Week 2 numbers , and with the public's help, I can add to my 12 % position next week.

You sound like you know what you're doing at sports wagering.
Re the above I was wondering if you've bet on these totals & if so what percentage of BR.
Also re your teaser you seem to have wagered on, should I assume that is for one percent?
Does your teaser bet imply there is still value in the lines at their present numbers?
BTW I see Mississippi St as low as -21 now so a 7 pt teaser will bring that to the key number 14. A 7.5er to 13.5.
You had a lot of balls wagering 16% on two plays months before the kickoffs. It seems most bet around 1 or 2% a play. I'd also be concerned about injuries, suspensions, firings etc in the time interval before the game.
Best of luck to you sir this NCAAF season.

Thanks for your kind words, I'll try to answer your points in order.
Many on this forum, or any other forum for that matter can certainly sound like they know what they are talking about. Be wary and perform your own due diligence so you don't get led down the path to bankroll disaster.
I have bet on both of those totals , but both are " In the action " bets for me ( less than 1 % of br ), and they do not conform to my risk profile on a wager. That's why they are not listed as selections.
No you cannot assume my teaser or parlay bets are 1 % . They are not and I do not post a wager size on them.
I believe in acquiring wagers below key numbers if at all possible, but I'm more focused on MOV vs the line as that predicts my win probability.
The percentage I wager per game is based on my historical winning percentage. I typically begin the season at 10 - 16 % per wager. My MOV evaluation generally more than makes up for the risk I will assume on injuries / suspensions.
Thanks . Best of Luck to You as Well .
