You will do terrible, if you continue to pick every single game of the week Grin

Focus on 1-2 selections a week (the games where your estimation of a fair line differs from
the line of the bookmaker) and pick these. Otherwise you will just lose due to the
vig/juice.

Nevertheless, I of course wish you good luck and I actually agree with some of your picks.

You have rightly said. I think it is all your strategy and planning which matters even if you make more than 2 selections of the week. It all depends on your skill level, if you are good at it you can even manage to win all no matter how many selections you make a week. You need to practice first.

I agree with these guys. You should just pick your best picks. I did this before too and had the same problem. The issue here is that you are only giving little attention to each game because of the number of games you are watching. You should place like a sure win pick, a medium level pick and a risky pick, while keeping in mind the risk to reward ratio. Good luck.

Methink you have to give attention to between 1 to 3 games or else you will incur many losses every week. look for the game you are very sure of,those you know well.

Please read the thread before responding. I am aware if you are trying to make a profit you should pick a few key games. I am trying to see how well I will do picking all the games throughout the season

Not the greatest first week
7 wins 8 losses.

I understand you shouldn't bet all the games obviously. Maybe I will make a prediction on what games I would have bet.

I'll take the Bengals to cover.

I'll take the Jags to win, or at the very least cover
