Ace-Ace: Newbie here on this forum. Was a lurker last year but I did follow some of your plays and enjoyed your comments a lot. The key to winning is good money management and discipline. Otherwise the vig will eat you up. Consider myself to to be a "small time gambler" with an average play of $50 and sometimes $100; also will dabble in $10-$20 parlays and teasers but not much (maybe 1-2 on Saturday and Sunday). Have done this for years and cannot remember a losing year. Thanx to you and others, I ended up +$9K last year and hope to make more this year. Keep up the good work/comments. I love your style.
If your making money and winning 53% of the time, that's fine with me. It's all about how much money your making, not your winning %. I know guys who like to play a lot of dawgs s/u and they are extremely profitable and their winning % is around 45%.
The ROI is not as good, but the bankroll grows.

45% is great if all you bet is dogs in baseball, but in football i can't believe that arguement.
for one, noone bets all dogs in football with a +number for taking the team, it doesn't happen.
and not eveyone uses online betting, so many still pay 10% regardless of the team being favored or not.
so in all fairness of measurement purposes/stats you have to make everyone equal, and that is being a 10% charge for games lost football.
and a % of wins to measure wins and handicapping ability.
other wise the measurement will never be accurate, its like the bowl championship series, a bunch of bull shit.
but you know what guys, to each his own. hope we all cash in regardless of winning %, money wagered or whatever. lets bring vegas to their knees for once as a whole.:drink:
