Teasers: 2-0 (1 pending) +7.5 units gotta get lucky sometime
Parlays: 0-3 -1.58 units
Props: 4-1 +2.225 units
Total for week 14: +3.72 units
Things I learned this week:
- I suck at halftime bets. I'm really not sure what it is, but at this point I can conclude they are nothing but a waste of units for me.
- I like prop bets and am starting to feel more confident about them. I'm going to start playing full units on prop bets and zero units on halftime plays. There's just such a wide selection and if you look through them I think they become even better plays than sides/totals odds-wise.
- Don't be a homer, I made a 1 unit play on SD earlier this week (didn't post it) but essentially bought it back because I was convinced the Titans would win. I'd much rather lose a stupid unit AND have my team win than possibly lose money AND have my team lose. Hard to kick though because I already I like the Titans -4 this week vs. KC...
- I'll never quit playing teasers and parlays, but starting now I am going to make sure I'm betting what I really want to bet. I got lucky this week with those 2 teasers, but the 6 unit one I actually put a good deal of though into before I laid those precious units down. More thought = more chance for a win.
- Keep having fun, in the end I'm not playing for serious money here and just trying to have a good time.
- Try and learn things every week, because I'm a noob in all of this and have a long way to go in order to be a successful capper.
This is all mostly for me but hey maybe some of it will apply to some of you out there. Let's get the books on MNF
