Friday was a 3-4 day for -1.14 units. We were 2-0 on the bowl sides but lost the total. 1-1 on the totals in the nba but 0-2 on the nba sides losing boston by a 1/2 point.

I have looked over the games today and do not see anything there today. So a very rare day... no plays!

The nfl slate tomorrow is very sparse for setups that I can see...so only 1 solid nfl play for tomorrow that I can see.

You also may have noticed I am posting the results and also breaking them down monthly. This I feel will give you a better perspective on what to expect. December has been a very small return month....with one day left...we have 90 bets in +2.14 units and a +2.37% return. If you are laying 11/10 on every play then you are probably only even.

There is nothing easy about trying to make money betting sports. It like most methods of positive return gambling is a grind...other methods here in vegas are live poker, video poker and blackjack. I gave up on black jack when I figured out that a 25 to 50 dollar unit bet would need a bankroll of about 50,000 to produce about 7 dollars an hour!

In any event be careful...remember its a grind..with hopefully a positive expectation and respect variance.

Good Luck
