whether you've won or lost, go back and look at your plays and break them down, what really happened? I notice alot of people had a bad weekend, it happens to the best of us and I've been doing this awhile (that's a good thing folks, experience.) I read thru these posts and wonder how much thought was put into comments and more often than not, I realize overall, it's not much. Alot of you are perhaps, younger and less experienced so hopefully some small advice can help you make a little bit more dinero. This ain't the wild, wild west, with these reckless plays all over the place. If you're going to post a play, do a writeup, research the game and find out everything you can. I don't post all the time, but when I do, it's worth a quick read. Thru the writeup process, you will gain necessary insight and we need every advantage we can get. IT'S YOUR MONEY!
I had a good weekend, a very good weekend so let's take a quick look at a couple of these games, wins and losses. First, 3 of the wins-
GA +2 vs TENN, an easy outright winner as TENN had just beat the Gators @ home now on the road against an improving Bulldog team. Just a great situation. Here's another, same thing-
BC +4.5 another outright winner as UVA comes off huge home win vs DUKE. Great situation for a scrappy BC team who clearly plays better @ home.
What I would say about these 2 games, if you played the other way, you didn't give it much thought, plain and simple. You automatically went with the "better team." Situation, situation, situation. Best team doesn't always win. These were ez wins, and believe me, they're usually not. I'll take 'em when I can get 'em.
MIA +7.5, this one blew me away. It's the wrong line. Duke should have never been favored by more than 3 or 4. Everyone was on the revenge train for Duke (a betting public darling) but if you know anything about MIA, this was an important game for them as they wanted that sweep and fact is, they're better than Duke. Lack of motivation was not going to be a problem. Have you seen the Canes' play? I have, and I know they can win the national championship. These veterans and young, talented Shane Larkin weren't going to go away quietly. EZ $$$.
Note: 2 of these 3 plays were @ home, all 3 getting points
The losses (both)
IND -14, beat Iowa by 13. I'd play the Hoosiers again, Can't win them all. A legit nat'l championship contender.
MICH -5, I didn't account enough for Spartys physicality and perhaps didn't give enough credit for this rivalry for 2 very good teams. In hindsight, too many points to lay in this marquee matchup. Live and learn.
Listen, if you're going to wager your hard earned $$$, put the time in, do the work, be consistent with the amounts of your plays. Nothing more frustrating than winning 2 of 3 games but losing $$$ because the game you went big on is the one you lost. We've all done it.
I love sports, played almost everything competitively short of hockey in my life. It helps in evaluating games. Betting sports is a natural transition for me. If you don't like sports, truly like sports, like anything else, you probably won't be that successful at it, because you won't put the time in, bottom line.
I figure, like in sales, I'll use the 80/20 rule here. 20% of you know what you're doing, the other 80%, not so much. Not here to criticize, just to help, even if just a little bit.
Good luck to all of you in your betting endeavors! 
Best of Luck tonight.....
