MNF Footnote

This was the first betting book I read.(p 1989)

Root threw out several contrarian theories inside.

Two applied to the Bears tonight.

"Nightmare on Elm Street Theory"

Betting bad teams in spots when nobody else will.

"Monday Night Biggie"

Intra-division Home Dogs were like 80% ATS in the 80's.

Root called this the single best bet of the decade.

With confirmed Sharp action, this was a strong play.

Hindsight is always 20/20, but I missed an easy one.

Congrats Winners!!

NFL Mon 10/31

We've got another horrible prime-time game.

The 5-1 Vikings and the 1-6 Bears.

This is a classic sharp vs squares game.

Public all over the Vikings.

Books are trying to hold the line around 4.5.

Serious sharp money on the Bears here.

But they are such a disaster, I can't do it.

Trying to stay away from bad teams.

They will burn more money than they will make.

I'm not sharp enough to see the value here.

So, I'm sitting this one out.

Da Bears, Trick or Treat??

Best Wishes!!

I fell asleep and missed the early starts.

So I'm stuck rooting for a 7 team parlay.

Was-Hou-NE-TB-Car-SD-Atl

BOL!!


Knew the Eagles would fuck this up.

That's why I took Dallas 2nd half.

I put this on the head coach.

Eagles were up 7 in FG range.

They throw a backwards pass for -6 yards.

Knock themselves out of FG range.

Punt and Dallas never looks back.

Just brutal!!
