Hey Guys thanks for Bumping great hearing from y'all .
I hope everything is Great with you and family Kaptain Karl .. you're a super guy in so many ways. Send Regards for me .
Bill Mill ... you look at much more than I do with the colleges.
Believe it or not ... here's what I do each week :
For the NFL ... I have over 1,500 league and individual team systems and trends in my database. I go through every single one of them each week and on a printed schedule with lots of room for each game , I make my notes. Then by Wednesday I have all the work tabulated and grade each team and game.
Takes me over 20 hours ( sometimes even more ) but it is worth my time.
Rest assured that with every side and every total I have the historical edge , otherwise it's a no play.
My method stems from the following : Like most human beings ... Players , Teams , Coaches are all creatures of habit and how they perform is repeatable and therefore PREDICTABLE . That's the premise.
There is no emotion involved ... Ever ! Even though I love to rag on players and coaches in " Shooting From the Hip " the picks are never personal. e.g. Mike Holmgren is an over rated Idiot who piggy backed on Brett Favre's shoulders to become head honsho in Seattle. The man is incapable of writing a grocery list . But if my work indicates Seattle in any given game , then I do not hesitate for 1 second to pull the trigger.
Now for The Colleges ... It takes me 30 minutes !!! On Sunday nights I get the lines first flash for the following week. I go through each game line and when I see an unusual number which surprises the heck out of me ... that jumps up at me , I make the pick. I see the obvious side ( the side that will make the ordinary bettor drool with excitement ) and then I go the other way. So for the Colleges The Linesmaker gives me the game with his number ... he handicaps for me and he's the best in the world. I only have 10 or so college systems which I use, and 90% of the time they yield a no play. Once in a while I'll make a play on my own and it always is against a team which expended sooo much energy the week before in an emotional rivalry game ... e.g. I like Kentucky to give Alabama a real battle this week so I'm on them , even though the linesmaker's number didn't jump at me. But by and large I try not to make picks without The Linesmaker's Blessing.
I do use Systems for Bowl Picks ... I have great Bowl Game Systems.
Good Luck this Year Bill
Tech Fan ... it's great to hear from you ... always my loyal friend. Really hope we can make some money together this year ... it would be just like old times. I've been wanting to stay in touch but I don't have your email addy. I know you always read my stuff and I do hope you did something with The Dodgers for the post season. So far So Good ! Please take care of yourself, my friend ... and stay in touch.
