NFL Plays — Week 12 (Thanksgiving Day Only)

NOLAN DALLA:  2012 POSTED NFL SEASON RECORD

67 WINS – 53 LOSSES – 2 PUSHES —– (+ 68.55 units / 1 unit = $100)

STARTING BANKROLL:  $10,000.

CURRENT BANKROLL:  $16,855.

BEST BETS OF THE WEEK:  9-3-0

Last week’s record was 5 wins and 4 losses.  Most important, the net gain was +9.3 units.  

If there’s one thing I’ve improved this season over the last many years I’ve been posting plays at various public forums (which started in 1997), it’s been with weighing picks and better money management.  

It took me many many years to realize that flat betting gives way too much away when there are stronger than average plays on the board.  Moreover, a pick may be worth playing, but for a smaller amount based on the line or total.  Hence, I strongly recommend varying your bet sizes.  I have more work to do and much more to learn in this area.  But I do want to say that if you only get half your picks right, but weigh the games accurately, you might still be able to produce a nice profit.

I’m making three wagers on Thanksgiving Day games.  Sunday’s plays will be released at the customary time.

NFL Plays — Week 11

NOLAN DALLA:  2012 POSTED NFL SEASON RECORD

62 WINS – 49 LOSSES – 2 PUSHES —– (+ 59.25 units / 1 unit = $100)

STARTING BANKROLL:  $10,000.

CURRENT BANKROLL:  $15,925.

BEST BETS OF THE WEEK:  8-3-0

It’s hard to top last week’s results, posting a public record of 11 wins and 3 losses–  for a monster net win of +52.3 units.  However, this is no time to celebrate or relax.  Trying to stay in the zone with what will hopefully be another profitable week.

Many plays this week are not so much BET ON games as BET AGAINST games.  Some teams are starting to implode and those are teams we want to fade this time of year, especially if not laying too many points.  That’s the case on a few games this week noted below.

Making nine wagers this week.

Coming off my worst week of the season, going 3 wins and 6 losses for a net loss of -8.2 units.  My overall record remains in the black in all categories, but need to improve.  Looking to turn things around in Week 9 in what looks to be the best lineup of games I have seen all season.  Great slate full of live home dogs.
