    Bankroll: $10,000
    Standard Betting Unit: $300
    Record: 0-0-0

    I'll post plays weekly. The plan is to keep track of my bankroll and record.  All my plays are $300+juice, that's my standard betting amount, for example -120 bet would be $360 to win $300.

    I also plan to parlay all my weekly picks with a $30 bet every week.

    That's how it goes folks, let me know if you have questions, want analysis, or would like to discuss a game - otherwise, I'll stick to picks for the sake of brevity.

    9/7
    Chiefs vs. Patriots Under 48.5
    Chiefs+9

    Both offenses may take some time to get going.  I'd recommend waiting until Thursday morning to take the Chiefs as you might get +9.5 or even key +10, as spread continues to move in the direction of Patriots.

    Sorry my math is off, new to posting my bankroll increases...I'll try to get better at it.

    Before Sunday 9/10 -
    Bankroll: $9,970
    Record: 1-1-0

    So far Sunday 9/10 -
    Bankroll: $9,970+1285 = $11,255
    Record: 7-3-0

    Giants+4.5 (pending)

    As an FYI, line is now +5.5...I'm considering a moneyline bet, but will probably lay off...let me think about it.

    Bankroll: $11,875 (+$1285)
    Record: 7-3-0

    Missed on 2 plays, otherwise I would have hit my 9 team.  Not a bad day I guess...

    Pending Giants+4.5...


    Sorry my math is off, new to posting my bankroll increases...I'll try to get better at it.

    Before Sunday 9/10 -
    Bankroll: $9,970
    Record: 1-1-0

    So far Sunday 9/10 -
    Bankroll: $9,970+1285 = $11,255
    Record: 7-3-0

    Giants+4.5 (pending)

    As an FYI, line is now +5.5...I'm considering a moneyline bet, but will probably lay off...let me think about it.

    Nah, I'll sit on the original bet, Giants+4.5.  Discipline wins the war, greed kills.
