I'm throwing in the towel for the year (so I say). Last week wasn't disastrous, but it wasn't great. Remember I'm making $20-$100 bets. Not big money.
A few teams saved me some, but the more I bet, it seems the more I get distracted. I was doing great when I would just look at a line and say Huh?
I haven't bet football in 30 years. I came in this season w/ a $150 deposit and left w/ exactly $1000 in profit (which was my goal). I promised myself if I reached that, I'd never make another deposit again. I still have around $45 in my HR account and will probably bet it on IU. I also have outstanding bets on IU winning the B1G and National Championship.
So if IU rolls on, I'll roll on.
It's fun, and I understand the sharks and their analytics, but I never wanted to get into that. That sounds like a job. I look at it like playing mini-golf. You think you see the best line to hit the putt on, then you just hit it and hope it bounces your way.
For those curious - I think the IU national championship bet was $5 to win $1300. The current cash out is $30.
Here's a cap. Vegas believes in Cig obviously.
