How To Bet on NFL Football
Well…the NFL season is well upon us, and I have been having tremendous success so far this year. Of course, I do not bet the NFL like most other players. In fact, my methods will most likely shock the vast majority of you reading this. Of course, I do some “traditional” point spread bets. However, my bread and butter (as far as the NFL goes anyway) is using what I like to call Large-Point Teasers (LPT).
For the last 3 or 4 years I have found several books who offer these LPT. I don’t know about you, but being able to move the line 14, 16 even up to 21 points on each game I play has been a real blessing. Of course, the odds are not nearly as good. For example, one book I use will make you lay 3-1 odds for 7 team, 21-point teaser. So, the trade-off is that you need to lay fairly heavy wood in order to gain the extra security that comes from those extra points.
It would not really be fair to give a lists of the games I have had for the first 3 weeks of the season, since they are over and done. However, I think that I am going to chronicle the rest of this season here on the blog, for everyone to see. I want to show everyone how it is possible to beat the books using a very systematic and disciplined approach. So, starting next weekend, I will be posting the actual LPT that I am personally playing.
Let me just say a few more words about these LPT. You want to try and stay away from the college games with this as much as possible. They work much better in a situation where their is a fair degree of parity and the games are usually fairly close. Too many blow-out or rout victories in college.
I am also toying with the idea of maybe offering some kind of management service for next season. Where I will partner with a select few (and I do mean very few) of my readers, friends and fans. I will run a sportsbook account using only these LPT. At the end of the season (I usually stop doing these the second or third to last week), we will pull the money out and split the profits. If you are potentially interested in this (or even a similar) type of arrangement, please either contact me or leave some feedback below.
Talk to you next week!

In regards to the LPT book you spoke of setting up: would this be something that you want people to invest in and pay you a management premium? I’m a little confused as to what you’re talking about.

Actually, I am talking about starting something like a mutual fund. Investors (or partners) would put up money in exchange for at least a minimum guaranteed return. I would then take the money (along with my own) and “invest” it using these LPT. It would probably by a 50-50 split of the profits, again with some kind of guaranteed minimum return.
Of course, I am still thinking about how exactly to do this. I am certainly open to suggestions.
