Insert cliche statement about winning money from your book here.
Spots worked out well last week. Hit a few ML pups that were around 2:1 and really just enjoyed Saturday.
With most of you, not readers of this thread, I guess, losing your butt last week, let me tell you why I won.....(like you really want to read, how pompous is this going to come off?):
I dont care about teams. Not a single iota.
I wont root for a team this week, or next. You wont find me rooting for anyone. I rarely even watch a game I bet, let alone sit there and treat every play like its the end-all-be-all. I watch the games that will be good, getting the Big 10 on the East Coast on ESPN, thats basically nothing. If I luck out to see a game I have money on, good for me, but its something I hate.
I dont believe what my eyes see. Just because you saw Aaron Rodgers complete 85% of his passes doesnt mean it will happen next week - hold on....there's gotta be a better example.
I hold no preconceived notions about what the score of a game will be. I dont say that Team A is going to win 31-7 or 41-14. I dont care.
I am completely comfortable knowing that I have no idea how a game is going to play out. I dont care. If I do a write-up, akin to say Baylor/Illy bowl last year, and it nails, its because thats how I thought it was going to happen. But does it often happen that way? No. These games are bat-shit and crazy stuff happens. I am perfectly OK knowing that something nuts is going to happen during the course of a game to be a pivotal turning point.
I might be brash, but I am not young enough to think I know everything. I learn something every day, something with every loss.
I truly think that spots and situations are the most important thing in capping. There are #s out there for everything. The line is set, the injuries are known. Lets talk about something that the entire free world isnt given in typeface.
I always try to stay ahead of the curve and not behind it. I dont try to be sharp. I dont try to avoid being square. I do me. I dont let the public or the percentages or Covers flavor of the month influence me. There is no use playing the team that just won big last week. How are you going to try to sail when the boat is off the dock and there are already people throwing money around?
Now, I will stop with being a jagaloon and post my thoughts....
