Week #4 NFL Games
This is the first of what will be weekly posts from now until the end of the season.
Here are the games, along with the actual lines that I have gotten this week. For those of you who do not believe this, refer to my previous post. These are “Large-Point Teaser.” I have done all 8 of these games, and yes, to win the bet I must win all 8 games. However, with being able to move the line 21 points, I feel pretty safe!
Here they are:
Iowa -1/2 (the one college game I like!)
New England +19
NY Giants +12 1/2
Chicago +11
Indianapolis +11
San Francisco +11 1/2
San Diego +27
Green Bay +24 1/2
There you are, 8 games with HUGE points for a 40% return. Beats putting your money in a wimpy cd, doean’t it? Yeah, I think so.
I welcome comments. However, please understand that I bet for one reason only: to win money. I am not a fan, and I am a very disciplined sports wagerer. You may find it hard to believe, but this is the only bet I am making all weekend. Seriously. With these LPT I have the advantage…and I intend to keep that advantage and not do anything stupid by making inferior spread bets. I may decide to bet some further LPT, but they will all be variations of the above teams. In other words, I may do a 7-team teaser, and maybe a 6-team teaser and possibly even a 5-team teaser.
Until next week!

Which books offer LPTs?

There are actually more and more offering this all the time, John. Just keep checking and maybe yours will add this as well. The thing is, they see these LPT’s as a marketing gimmick. They understand that many (probably even MOST) gamblers will start out using these, but then not be content or disciplined enough to stick with it. Or maybe they will even lose one or two of these–yeah it does happen from time to time (I usually lose 1 or 2 each year)–and then discipline starts unraveling. So, it is used as basically a way to just draw in money and accounts.
This type of football wagering, like gambling in general, is definitely not for everyone. In fact, I think betting this way requires the MOST discipline of anything else a sports bettor will ever do. Most will not be able to do it correctly. Players who need to be ‘in action’ every day should not even think about these. Nor should players who absolutely need to watch every game they have. There are many times when I will just turn off the tv and shut down the computer on a Sunday and spend some time doing something more personally fulfilling. Since you are wagering hoping to make a 30-50% return, there is not really much you can do in terms of hedging. So you pretty much need to let these LPT’s run their course. Your presence by your computer or tv will not influence the contest in any way!!
