Doug's Betting Card - Only Players

Below are bets that I actually make. My approach entails aggregating conversations with extremely respected oddsmakers and bettors, along with my own handicapping. I want to share that insight and intel.

Sportsbooks prefer you wager solely on marquee games and make multiple parlays. I do not oblige. That may entail taking days off or passing on exciting matchups. Winning takes occasional discipline but the good opportunities will present themselves – if one is mildly patient.

MAIN BETS – Dollar amounts differ for each person but unit sizes (often between 1x through 5x) are an effective method. 5x represents my largest and most confident wager. The log of every single wager, since we launched in mid-August, is located at the bottom of this page. Plus, this is the net result of each sport:

NFL: +23.40 units
CFB: -5.3 units
MLB: +9.925 units
NBA: -21.275
MCBB: +30.03 units
WCBB: +22.10 units
WNBA: +3.0 units
UFC: -13.08 units
NHL: -.3 units
Golf: -2.36 units

LEANS – These represent mere opinions on other games where my conviction is not high enough to place a wager.
