here is the problem, I am tied into a few winning Minnestoa teasers and I have a nice Minnestoa +3 -120 going also, compliments of the beautiful town of Primm. I dont really like either side but I do like the fact this game just hit 37 and I nailed the over with that.

Other game I have denver -2.5 -110 but have some winning 3 team parlay tickets with Oakland +3.5, so maybe a 3 point game will do me just fine.

I am due for a middle tonite.

Love your style, Iceman..

Grab Denver on the ML, maybe as low as -142, to help you with the Middle chances.

..and with the Contests, just play 'em the day you're at that outlet; that'll guarantee you it's your best plays at the day you put 'em in.. but they all won't be duplicates.

. . . The whole +ev teasers crushed me. I am a little upset I put so much money into them and not more into the stuff I studied and shopped for all week like NFL sides. I need to play to my strenghts going forward. Overall I lost 5 units or so for the day.

You had a bad deviation on +ev plays and you're ready to give up on them? That doesn't sound right.

If they are truly +ev plays, then you have to be prepared for the swings that come with it. You shouldn't be quick to abandon a winning strategy - that's a common mistake A LOT of advantage players do.

Betting Teasers in Week 1?

Not a great strategy. The best time to bet them is when the lines have sharpened up -- week 4 at the earliest.

Dont even try it. I emailed you that night (which you never e-mailed me back, than you very much, LOL) asking you to go to lunch that next day. I was ready to go the next day, that night I should have never made plans it was too hectic. I had the whole next day ready for you and nothing.

I absolutely NEVER said I was giving up on them. I was betting the same per teaser play as I was on a side so with that being said it ended up if I lost on a teaser team it was like losing 4 units on the game as all teasers died when one team loses. My point was to bet maybe 1/4 of a normal side bet on 1 of 4 teasers involving 1 team. I think i explained that good. I was wrking so hard to get down say Dallas at a good number and betting as much on 4 different SF teasers when I never liked them at all. Believe me I have been betting teasers like this for a long time I am not or will not ditch that method. I am the biggest supproter of this statemen when it comes to gambling "be expecting huge flucuations in your bankrool, if you cant handle it then betting isnt for you".

The +ev "wong" teasers have notoriusly won year in and year out no matter what the weeks of the season over the long haul. I agree I would think they would be a little better later in the year, very good point. I will keep that in ming going forward. I know a bunch of guys who got hit pretty hard from teasers yesterday. If Minnestoa teasers go down I would think (and I may be wrong) NFL week 1 goes to the books.

I know that. I sent it to you so when you looked that night when you got back to your room or the next morning we could hook up. I figured that worked best for me.

week 1 is not +ev for teasers.

Certainly not as much as in the middle of the season(weeks 3-14).

Personally, and I've stated this many times, I do not play ALL these blindly.......although do play well over 80% of those presented to me via the pointspread and the proper odds.

Some, perhaps even Icaman and other well respected pros, may disagree with my feeling on this. Actually, I think it increases my advantage very, very, very slightly over the longhaul. Modestly speaking, I do not recommend doing this for the casual teaser player, as they would be better off just playing ALL that all presented to them.

THE KEY TO ALL OF THIS IS MONEY MANAGEMENT! I would recommend to all who are serious about this business to learn as much about standard deviation and Kellys Criterion as they can.

In theory, rather you play all of them, or just a portion of them..........ones ROI will be relatively the same in the grand scheme of things.........AS LONG AS THEY ARE PLAYING THE CORRECT TEASERS.
