That is what I said yesterday, if it helps us out, winning in here is secondary and I want to win but the Colts making the playoffs is more important.

I go with my heart more often times than not. Meaning go with who I want to win that would help the Colts or the Colts themselves (usually always).

That's what I do. I don't get down in the deep research on teams and everything unless it is a money bet. I like the picks where it's just for fun and picks from the heart.

Dang it @2006Coltsbestever @EasyE it’s your week - Lions and Jets win in the freaking last minute  

 

NFL games like last week’s Seahawks game showed, come down to the last minute too often this year

I am lucky more than being good. Easy also had the Commanders but he had the Steelers also. Good week for me but there is still 2 weeks to go and I won't copy anyone picks just to hold the lead, that would be the wimp way out . I will create new thread early Tuesday with everyone's W/L's and should have my picks in as well. I could switch a pick during the week because of injury but that is normal if I need to.

You should probably change your profession for being lucky, lol

You don't have to worry about copying. I'm just kidding anyway about copying lol. I will make sure my picks are different than you. It's the only way to try and catch up. My catch-up picks suck!! Lol

My titans and Washington picks kicked me in the gonads!! Lol

If only I could be this lucky when I bet. I still have had success and so far when betting through the season. I am $300 ahead regarding the Pro's and in college I am even. I have only made 2 bets in college all season. I bet $100 on Deion getting 6 wins, I lost. I got my money back when I took Michigan for $100 over Ohio St. and gave up 3.5. Pro wise - I only bet on 2 games a week, usually $100 on each. $300 to the good is good but nothing huge. I don't bet much money to make a lot, just enough to make it exciting and hopefully get ahead to be able to pay a bill or eat Steak for a month .

You are in the lead driving the steering wheel. Everyone else has to try to figure out different picks to catch you. So it's not about copying. Lmao I play money fantasy leagues and I usually win a couple thousand a season. But this is probably not even a break even season for me. Lmao

I will go $100 again next week on 2 games, hoping to get that up to $500 for the season. A lot of times I just breakeven but I got ahead early in the season so have never been in the negative at least. Like I said I don't bet much money, just enough to get my adrenaline going. People can get addicted to that stuff, I could if I didn't watch it and bet like $500 on a game but I hold back. I keep it at a fun level as well like in here when it comes to money.

I need to get out of some money fantasy leagues. It's a pain in the butt trying to keep up on. I been it for years and won a lot. I used to win around 10,000.00 back in the day and take family vacations with it. But the injuries anymore with players. Makes it so hard to figure things out. Injuries these days are just way more than in the past. All the new NFL rules really making the game safer? I don't think so JMO

I have had some years where I was over a $1000 to the good but a few times where I was losing my butt. Once I get around $700 or so behind, I usually quit  . 

 

If I go to the casino and play slots, I will take like $700 with me. I only do that a couple times a year though. I can make $700 last a while especially if I get a couple of good hits. I usually play $1 machines.

You and I were different in 3 games - Vikings, Commanders and Jaguars. You were up by 1 game, now our difference should be 4, not 5.

You are correct. You are 149-87, tied with Moe for 2nd. I went fast while doing these  . You are 7-5 this week, I went 10-2. Thanks. 

 

I corrected it above.
