Sfter watching NBC's 'Today Show' this morning with Jeanne wolf and Lester Holt, does does anyone else think Jeanne Wolf looks like a small animall animal.. I do't i don't mean to be superficial,. but , but for a nationally telvised news show, you would think they could hsve found domebody a little more watchable. by the way, although I'mm not sure what type of small animal looks she looks like, I'm thinking, maybe a forest floor dwelling,, burrowing type creature. |

Excellent work! Based on the moneyline for each game, what was the total number of units won? Thanks.

I've already given my kid specific instructions to bury me in either my Al Kaline or Gordy Howe jersey (depending on whether it's baseball or hockey season).

Good luck with whichever dog you decide, but I hope it's a rescue dog or something from a shelter. You'll save a life, and enjoy it much more. Peace out.

I know it was Army's first offensive drive, but does SMU's defense look slow and unprepared? Much like many of the bowl games so far, the better prepared team, that really want's to be there, usually covers. |

Congratulations on your nice start! However, I contacted several offshore sports books and most would only accept a parly if the pointspread was less than 33% of the total. Some were even less.. Which sportsbooks do you use? And, would plays of 33% still be profitable? Thanks. |

neilsy25, Obviously the goal of this system is to minimize the number of favorites winning one run games. The best way to do this would be to bet games with heavy favorites / dogs (which should result in a larger run differential), but then you minimze your profits playing the favorites. I suggest refining the information provided by robwalton to determine the optimal moneylines that result in the fewest one run games. Regarding the sportsbook policies pointed out by GamblrzAnonyms, sports bettors should have at least a couple of different accounts anyways. If nothing else, to shop for the best lines. Good luck!

Have you capped any games before December 30th, using your system? Good luck.

2 Team (6 point) Teaser
NY Giants - 1 1/2
San Diego - 1/2
Risk $110 to win $100 (Bet Jamaica)
Despite the bye week for Seattle, they are still an injury riddled team. And while the suspension to Burress hurts the Giant's passing game, this still a good rushing team with the much better defense.
Give credit to Miami for last week's huge win at New England, but they are still a developing team. Lack of big play capability at QB and WR, puts too much reliance on the running game. Even though San Diego got off to a slow start this season, they appear to be regaining their old form with a healthy LT and a confident Rivers. |

2008 Season Record: 2 - 0
2 Team (6 point) Teaser
Carolina - 1/2
Jacksonville - 1
Risk $110 to win $100 (Bet Jamaica)
Although I give Atlanta credit for their 2 -1 start, beating Detroit and Kansas City aren't exactly quality wins. I think their road loss to Tampa Bay is a better representation of this team's ability. Conversely, I consider Carolina's wins against better teams a representation of their current level. Also, regardless of the circumstances, the addition of Steve Smith is a bonus.
Both teams are off to poor starts, but not surprising based on the quality teams they've played. I think Jacksonville has the better defense, and although Collier remains in serious condition, Jacksonville should now be able to focus more on football. |

2008 Season Record: 1 - 0
2 Team (6 point) Teaser
NY Giants - 2 1/2
Pittsburgh pk
Risk $110 to win $100 (Bet Jamaica)
Last week the Giants pretty much started where they left off last season. Not that Washington is close to a super bowl team, but the Giants ran the ball well and played hard defense. St Louis on the other hand was just plain bad last week. And their troubles will continue this week, due to a poor offensive line and an older, less healthy quarterback, without the WR talent of previous seasons (14/26 158).
Similarly, Pittsburgh also ran the ball well and played great defense (except for relaxing a little in the 4th quarter!). However, in a rivalry game, I would expect the same great effort through all 4 quarters. Allthough I like the improvements that Cleveland has made (see last week's post), facing Dallas and Pittsburgh in the first 2 games is a challenge for any team. |

If we're voting, I'll cast seven (7) votes for each of the last losing seasons for the (Matt Millen led) Detroit Lions.
The suffering becomes more unbearable each year!

You're right, these guys were terrible! Although it certainly makes you appreciate a good telecast (e.g. Madden & Michaels). Every network thinks "the more, the merrier", when it comes to telecasts, pre-game shows and halftime shows. Pretty soon you'll be watching the Fox pre-game show with a host and five analysts! In the meantime, do what I do, turn the sound off. It allows you focus more on the game and not be insulted as a viewer. |

Last season I had reasonable success picking teasers in which the favorites were "teased down" to within ± 2 points.
As a result, my first play this season is:
2 Team Teaser
Pittsburgh - 1/2
Dallas + 1/2
Risk $110 to win $100 (Bet Jamaica)
Despite a late season slump, Pittsburgh had a solid season based on strong running game, complimented by a stingy defense. Despite the loss of Faneca, I believe the addition of Mendenhall actually improves the offense. Houston, on the other hand, still lacks the experience and quality depth at running back. Although Houston's defense should improve with the emergence of Williams last season, I give the edge to Pittsburgh's more balanced attack.
Regardless of the various sideshows with TO, Romo and Jones (Pacman not Jerry!), this is an extremely talented team. I know Cleveland had a much improved 2007 season (compared to 2006), particularly Anderson and Edwards, but this team ranked near the bottom for yards allowed, and didn't do much to upgrade. I give almost every advantage to Dallas.

Ragingstorm,
Congratulations on your excellent record!
However, according to wagerline.com, when the consensus picks for the favorite are under 55%, this season the resultant record is only 81-74.
Where do you find your 55% public consensus? Thanks.

Weathersharp,
Sorry about your loss. Better luck next time!
All the losers who blindly followed Weathersharp's advice,
1. Get your own weather reports
2. Do your own research (Tulsa's games have gone over 80 points 5 times this season, Rice's games have gone over 80 points 4 times this season)
3. Don't blame someone else if YOU place the bet

Thanks for your thorough and insightful analysis.
However, if you been losing money by continually betting against New England, why not just lay off this game?
Good luck with the rest of your card!
