All week I have been looking at the OU/TX game of OU -14 and thought that this is the easiest money ever. I just knew OU would roll and it wouldn't be close, so I throw down my cash and what happens..., Big Fat Loser.
On to the Miami/Cincy game. I see this line come out and lock in Cincy +16 as fast as I could. Being a Miami fan I know that we always play down to the opponent and on top of that, never win by 16 vs an OK team. I figure Cincy to easily cover and possibly win, especially when it is announced Kiel is going to play. Fast forward and what do you know, My "for sure, easy money winner" is down by 28 in the 4th quarter.
This just goes to show that I don't know crap about handicapping even though I love it. I get so much joy from placing my bets all week and then watching football for 12 hours on Saturday.
I just wish I could get to the point that I didn't have to totally rely on everyone else and ride their picks. I mean I will because I like to win, but I would really like to figure out how to pick my games better and figure out what I am doing wrong. I use my Sagarin Ratings, injuries, home field and recent games to try my best and it seems like I am always wrong. Sorry to ramble but I just had to vent.
I love doing this and would love to have a better system so that I was not always just picking losers. BOL to everyone the rest of the weekend!
