Need Feedback

I am just going to start by saying, Dave and I by no means bet every game we pick. We try to get a good spread of games and make our picks on those games. A lot of sites assign star ratings or units to each game, which I don't really like that much because it is somewhat cheesy, but I think we should maybe distinguish between the games we are going to bet on or we feel strong about, and the games we probably won't touch.

I just want to give you an example, I had a good day yesterday in the NFL, 5-1 in the early games 2-1 in the late games and hit a small parlay on the night game. Yes I bet on 10 of the 12 games but two I didn't like were the Jets/Bills game, and the Broncos/Chargers game. I wasn't sure which Bills team would show up, are the Jets really 8 points better than the Bills? I had a million questions about that game I couldn't answer so I stayed away. Same with the Broncos and Chargers, Tebow? Rivers? Are the Chargers ever going to wake up? So I stayed away from that. The early game I lost was the Rams/Cardinals, thanks to Patrick Peterson yet again. He has burnt me with 2 returns against the Rams. The late game I missed was the Seahawks/Redskins. Sexy Rexy showed up. I assumed he would be horrible because he was good last week, but he proved me wrong and put back to back good weeks together. Last night I decided at the last minute that the Chiefs were going to play a good game on Sunday Night Football so I took the Chiefs +11 and the under of 42. The under was never in question, but the spread could have gone either way.

Back to my point, and actually the point of comment from Demonpenz. He said he didn't like any of the games this week, and sometimes not playing is winning. He is right, if you don't feel good about a game don't bet it. Sure I picked 16 college games and all the NFL games this week, but I didn't bet them all. So my point is I would like some feedback on how we should rate some of our games, sure we do our breakdowns which will be games that we bet, but how would you like the rest of the games highlighted? Stars, Units, Strength number? IDK? Oh yeah, and just because you feel good about a game, and it seems like everything is going your way, see Michigan Ohio State. Touchdown to cover, oh wait reviewed, down at the half yard line, penalty on Michigan, settle for field goal. Or Arkansas getting up 14-0 and then getting outscored 41-3, game has a good feel to it at first, and then it is gone. Gambling is clearly not a science, but the goal is to make it as much of a science as possible, so just because we post a game a) doesn't mean you need to bet it b) doesn't mean we are going to bet it and c) you never know what is going to happen.

Bottom line I am looking for some feedback so please comment, shoot Dave an e-mail, shoot me an e-mail, just get in touch with us so we can make this better for you. Hope you had a profitable weekend!
