Betting the NFL has changed a great deal in the respect that one can bet much more than the side as it was years ago. You cannot only play Totals now, you can do subsets of Totals, Halftimes including 1st and 2nd, even quarters, + even Player Props. Some of these don't offer high limits but you can make a higher limit for yourself utilizing several books. My concentration is heavy on Totals and 6 Point NFL Teasers which are considered the only +EV Teasers you can make in any sport. We have always played these well and last year even better than average with a 15-2 Mark. In fact I already have one ready for Week #1..
Lines now come out late Sunday and one of the things we will be doing as in the past is getting on some of these ASAP before sharp bettors have the time to beat us to it. We will then come back with more on game day as numbers change and plays that were not worthy due to the betting line earlier in the week are now..
Certainly getting pertinent info is important and timely and even in today's world it is possible to get some of that even well before most others. I use the word "WE" because I do have a strong info partner and I do have what I consider to the best THE strongest Database Guy on this Planet. Plus a strong info guy as well out in Reno. We skype chat Sunday evening, Tuesday morning, and again Thursday afternoon about what we know, what we do not, and what we want to know. That which we want to know we research...
I am a believer that Volume is insignificant in one respect and that is that Large Volume does not always equate to large earnings. Having said that we most always have large volume than most because we are on top of more than most. It's the Ole 3 Heads are better than one thing so we are able to find more +EV opportunities..
There will be as always a Heavy Concentration on Totals and we will almost almost get the best number or close to it. I would guess that the Totals/Sides Percentage would be somewhere in the 58%/42% range this year like previous years have been. On occasion we will Buy Back a Total Play based on some info obtained and in some cases we will add to an existing play for the same reason..
You can take a look at my package for the NFL and more pertinent info at Http://GregShaker.com and if I can help in anyway with questions about games let me know through any thread I might be in, Twitter, or Private Message. We do have some strong NFL Players with both Pros and Forum Posters and working together I think it's going to be a great season for all..
