The 2010 football season is here! I base my calendar year around football (my “New Year resolutions” begin Monday after the Super Bowl).  If you read my bio page, you know that this is the second year of this site.  I don’t claim to have foolproof systems or formulas.  I don’t care that some professionals claim to have their “formula that went 12-0 against the spread the last two years!”  I don’t believe those exist.  A good statistician can always create a hindsight formula. It doesn’t make that formula a correct prognosticator.  What you can count on is hours of scouting, game charting and statistical analysis that I do for myself. I put in these hours because I love wagering on football and that requires discipline.  

The number of games I pick will vary week-to-week, because of the amount of time required to properly chart games.  All the picks each week are wagers I make myself.  If you lose, so do I.  Some sites may just give you spread or totals picks. I might bet money lines, team props, player props or halves.  I will even throw in a parlay or teaser at times. 

If disciplined and informed, there can be great value in some of those wagers.  I will post what wagers I make each week.  I will list my wagers as units, since everyone has a different base of discretionary money with which they entertain themselves wagering.  

If I list a wager as 2 units, for some that might be $20, for some it may be $400.  Every week on this site, I will list 2 free picks, 1 college FBS and 1 NFL if possible.  Other games with my interest will be viewable, but the amount of wager and which team or player I am picking with analysis will only be viewable for members or as a pay-per-week purchase.  I am looking forward to a successful 2010 campaign, and I am confident both you and I can benefit! 

Please remember that wagering is entertainment, never wager on a need basis.
