RULE #3:  Its all about money management baby.  Define a bankroll.  Flatbet 1.5% of that bank roll as a 1 unit play for 90% of your plays.  Occassionaly go to 2 units, and the very rare 3 unit play.  Do not have more than 15% of your bankroll risked at anyone time.  Easier said than done.

Great points everyone and some funny ones, lol.
 
Here's a another rule:
 
-It's best to bet on a -3 point spread than a -10 point spread in the long run. Which means avoid the large point spreads as much as possible.
-I noticed the Home Town advantage helps when the crowd is yelling at a tone deaf volume when the opposing team has the ball. This can distract thier play.

Don't ever buy a half point unless it's off a 3.

Patriots vs Bucs game it will be windy, but unsure if it will effect Tom Brady.

Redskins are ranked #5 in Defense, that could increase thier chance to win. Also an Under.

take the better defense as a dog if the dog is the better defense in a matchup by a) points allowed b) rushing yards allowed c) overall yards allowed.   Any one of the 3 is a play.
