Prospect Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 89 Location:	#1 Posted: 8/16/2010 1:24:00 AM Take this for what it is worth. These are 3 approaches I use that take less than 10 minutes a week. Included are the results for the last 5 seasons. The numbers aren't exciting but they have shown a profit each of the last 5 seasons, albeit small, but still a profit. These are for the less serious bettor who wants action but doesn't want ot do the work. Then again, even this might be to much work for some. Betting Totals Rule 1. Bet over any total of 37 or less, bet under any total of 51 or higher. Rule 2. Don't start until week 4. 2005 34-22 2006 29-24 2007 28-19 2008 17-14 2009 15-11 Blowouts Rule 1. If any team lost 14 points or more ATS (against the spread), bet them the following week. If two teams are facing each other that both got blown out, pass. Example. If STL was +10 and they lost 38-10 they would be a play as the difference ATS is 18. If they lost 38-17 it would be no play as the ATS difference is only 11. 2005 28-26 2006 34-21 2007 39-26 2008 36-24 2009 28-26 The Chase Rule 1. Chase any team for 3 games ATS if they have lost there last 2 both straight up and ATS. 2005 26-21 2006 26-0 2007 33-28 2008 25-0 2009 30-7 You'll notice all the total losses are divided by 7. That's because a failed chase is 7 units. That's it. Before anyone accuses me of stealing these, they are 100% right, I stole all of them. I will say though that by combining all 3 you have minimal work to do and would've made a profit each season. That said, criticize at will. Just so you know I posted this as kind of a payment back to this forum. I've used the things I've learned here to create some truly profitable approaches to sports betting and have met people that I now follow that make me money each and every year. Before anyone else can say it though, I suck and my approaches suck. Thx Big

Prospect Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 289 Location: California	#6 Posted: 9/9/2010 11:14:22 AM Thanks,Kev. You are the Rachel Ray of NFL handicapping. But seriously, I like these three methods. You can use them as a solid foundation in the handicapping process, and IF you have more time, you can tweak the variables. The chase strategy you posted is a variation of a JM chase(or maybe JM's chase is a variation of your chase). At any rate it works. Of course, any method or system you use requires a strong emphasis on money management. That is, if you are doing it to make MONEY. Anyway, GL and thanks for this post.

These teams lost the chase. chicago, det, giants, tenn, I wouldn't start the 3 game chase until a team has 3 SU and ATS. If a team is mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, do not chase. I have back tested this formula to 2006 and it has hit 100% as long as you are disciplined to play it all the way to the third game. Lastly, take the points on underdog plays and bet the ML on favorites. Don't worry, there will be very few plays with favorites.
