SIDES: 5-3-1; TOTALS: 0-2 (Week 17: -0.83 units);
NFL 2009 Season record: 63-71-3 (-14.18 units lost/134 units risked);
SPREADS: 52-53-3 (-7.06 units lost/105 units risked);
TOTALS: 6-12 (-6.5 units lost/18 units risked);
ML: 5-6 (-0.62 units lost/11 units risked).
Brief Analysis:
Sunday and Monday Night Football games went 9-18, with 0-5 on Totals and 0-1 on Moneylines. This translated on -9.85 units lost.
Without those games, I would finish with a 54-53-3 season record and -4.33 units lost. A loss is always a loss, even if it is a small one.
Point spreads would finish 43-41 and -3.21 units lost, totals would end 6-7 and -1.5 units lost, moneylines would finish 5-5 and +0.38 units won.
Until 2009.11.29, the NFL 2009 Season record would 44-42-1, -1.99 units lost (86 units risked). Without the SNF and MNF games, the season record would be 35-32-1 and -0.14 units lost (67 units risked).
From 2009.11.30 until 2010.01.03, the NFL 2009 Season record finished 19-29-2, -12.19 units lost (48 units risked) with a brutal 0-8 on SNF and MNF games, which if we take out of the record, would translate to a 19-21-2 record and -4.19 units lost (40 units risked).
So after all, even without the mess caused by the SNF and MNF games, my performance on NFL showed that this season I didn't showed a useful edge on any market, aside the dogs (an obvious one).
To simplify things, looking only at the underdogs market for the season, converting the ML Green Bay Packers ML +115 (2.15) The Greek (110 - Green Bay Packers @ Pittsburgh Steelers: Green Bay Packers ML +115 (2.15) The Greek (37-36: LOSS)) in the pointspread, translates to Green Bay Packers +2 -110 (1.91) Bookmaker (110 - Green Bay Packers @ Pittsburgh Steelers: Green Bay Packers +2 -110 (1.91) Bookmaker (37-36: WIN)), which can be easily verified on any odds history service like the NFL Scores and Odds of the sbrforum.
The season record on dogs would finish 17-14-1, +1.13 units won (31 units risked). Without the 4 dogs on SNF and MNF games, the record would be 16-11-1, +3.33 units won.
Until 2009.11.29, 8-6-1, +1.13 units won (7-6-1, +0.33 units won without SNF and MNF games). From 2009.11.30 until 2010.01.03, 9-8-1, ZERO units won (9-5-1, +3 units won without SNF and MNF games).
On the last 5 weeks of the season, besides the mess on the SNF and MNF games, I also failed to navigate on the favorite picks. I've done some research and on the previous 3 seasons (2006 to 2008), only on 2007 the favs manage to cover (big) since Week 9 until Week 17. On the other 2 seasons, the dogs were kings and did a lot of damage... :)
I don't have any kind of lines history information that go back in time as long as possible since 2005, so if you know anything about this, please let me know, because I would like to spend some time looking at previous seasons before 2006.
BTW, until 2009.11.29 my overall season performance on all sports combined without NFL (NHL+NBA+NCAAB) was -7.95 units lost and 334 units risked.
From 2009.11.30 until 2010.01.03, NHL+NBA+NCAAB+NCAAF finished with +41.57 units won and 483 units risked. And if I took the college hoops moneylines out of the equation, my overall profits on the last 5 weeks show a great improvement: +54.72 units won and 457 units risked.
So, despite the bad NFL 2009 regular season, I've other motives of happiness, specially on the NBA. :P
