    I'm currently in Afghanistan and have and have a lot time on my hands and come up with, probably overcomplicated, strategy that I'm just going to run with and see what happens. 

    1. I keep a log of all the teams O/U games to guess what they are likely to do.  Example: Arizona hits over week 1 then week 2 they should hit under, Auburn hits under, over, under, in weeks 1-3 then they are due to hit over.

    2. I only look at games that the O/U total is < 3X the spread, and the two teams playing are both due to hit the same thing whether it is over or under.

    3.  If the teams are both to hit over I bet on the fav, if they are both to hit under I bet on the dog.

    Here is how I got one of my week 2 picks.

    Wk 1 Webb State and Arizona State went under, so did New Mexico and UTEP, which means that Arizona State and UTEP are due to hit over.  ASU is a 25pt fav and the OU is 67, 67<3X25 so I will bet on this one.  Since they are both due to hit over I'm betting on the fav.

    This will probably be a bust but it's just for fun, here are my week 1 picks that fit the formula. 

    Arizona
    Auburn
    Colorado
    Fla Atl
    Miss St
    Tulsa

    Nothing wrong with an idea like that. Hopefully it's successful. I'll be following.

    Stay safe.

    Are you playing the ML? or the pointspread ?

    having fun is the name of the game, winning and having fun; pure adrenaline

    btw, when you say your in Afghanistan, is that in reference to the U.S. Army? are you Military? if the answer is yes, then double enjoy your games, are able to place bets on them?

    Well first week of betting over and ok results.  I think the weather bailed me out with Florida-Atl but that's the game some times the weather hurts you and some times it helps.

    YTD Record 3-2-1 $+14% 

    Arizona St 
    Auburn 
    Colorado 
    Fla-Atl 
    Mississipi St 
    Tulsa

    I'm sorry I spoke wrong, Mississippi St did not cover so the record is 
    2-3-1.

    I've been looking at changing the formula slightly.  Instead of saying a team was over in a game just because the game was an over, I'm going to calculate how much each team needed to contribute in regards to the spread then determine if a team is over/under.  Meaning that in a game one team could be over and the other under.  If I would have done that this week it would of changed Fla-Atl to Alabama and Miss State to UAB.  And the end result if the Alabama game would not have been called would of been 4-2-0.

    If the game doesn't go 55 mins at topbet they don't count it.

    So last week it went 3-3 or 4-3 depending on how your sports book graded the FLA-ATL game.  This week the formula popped out 8 teams.  Sorry for the late post I know Lou-Tech already played but if you look at the math it points to them winning.

    Lou-Tech
    Buffalo
    Marshall
    Pittsburgh
    Michigan
    Alabama
    Utah State
    Ohio State
