I look at betting football like trying to show a profit betting odds on favorites at the track. A very difficult task indeed. Maybe you will come to that conclusion before you dig yourself too deep a hole.

I have literally waited 2 years for Logan Thomas to start a game like this. I just hope he keeps it up.

even if there was some basis for your confidence that you can bet profitably, the % of bankroll risked is essentially leaving everything to chance. I don't know what kind of edge you imagine you have but even if it's as high as being able to win 60% (which would be laughable) you risk going broke before that edge could be asserted over the long run. you've got more than 15% of your bankroll in a single game tonight. and then more than 10% in a second game. who in their right mind bets like that? |
