This ruins my college football record from slightly in black ink to deep into the red
I know it was a combo teaser including NFL picks plus college but since I specifically posted it in my college thread in the college forum then I have to count it against my previously winning college record.
Good thing I didn't post that losing teaser in my NFL thread in the NFL forum because I'm still hoping to finish with over +25 units profit over there.
Before we get to tonight's finale, I am predicting 50 to 100

I never shoulda tailed that guy. Never ends well. You have no idea how much they are betting with. How big of a lost they can take. What they do to recover. All bets can lose.
I think more than half the guys in here tail somebody if not most of the time then at least some of the time. I just picked the wrong guy. He was winning when I started betting all the same picks as him and even when he hit a losing streak I stuck by believing he would pull out of it but it just kept getting worse and worse. Then this
I hope your betting is doing much better than mine

Keep in mind that any bet is presumed one unit unless otherwise stated.
So for the skilled winning handicapper, a single bet means ONE UNIT
which is 2-3% of entire bankroll. Simple reason.
But what if the skilled handicapper chooses to bet 10 games that day? Is it still 2-3% of entire bankroll on each of those 10 bets? The overwhelming consensus across the web, including numerous articles, and even forum members here including @wolfeman3 is yes, 2-3% on each and every bet (if he truly is a skilled handicapper, not some "paper tiger" pretender)
So 10 bets (at one unit each) would mean 20-30% of his entire bankroll is at stake.
Likewise any single bet which is designated as "10 units" also means 20-30% of his entire bankroll is at stake. Skilled handicappers often do this without fear because the skilled handicapper is confident his odds of winning are higher than public average. Effective strategy for handicappers who truly are winners!!
When a truly skilled handicapper (one who is not a "paper tiger" pretender) claims to bet one unit on a lone bet, he is staking at least 2-3% on that one unit bet. (Beginners would only risk 1% or at most 2% because they are not as skilled and tend to lose more than win over time, like estimated 95% of all bettors. Most of us fall in this category, me included)
It follows logically, that if the allegedly skilled handicapper bets either multiple games, or multiple units, he is in effect staking a much higher percentage of his total bankroll. This is mathematically logical. 10 bets wortne unitmeans he is staking 20-30% of his entire bankroll. Or one bet of 10 units is the same thing!
But something now becomes obvious to any reasonable, rational, logical person. Clearly there is a limit reached before one is staking his entire bankroll.
The average bettor (small potatoes of just 1-2% bankroll each unit bet) could have as many as 50 to 100 units staked before he maxes out his bankroll.
Whereas logically, the truly skilled handicapper (one who is not a pretender) who can afford to bet more aggressively _ and should! _ because his skills mean LESS RISK OF LOSING, would necessarily be limited to at most 50 units being put in play (2% each because he is so skilled!) at any one time.

Making corrections to his erroneously posted records, AS HE SUGGESTED I DO FOR HIM, and he thanked me for my effort, here it is
His College season record before Bowls was 70-94 -124.30 units
PLUS the now corrected and documented losses during Bowls 22-31 -115.08 units(includes the -60 unit teaser loss Sunday)
His accurately documented colleges YTD before title game: = 92-125 -239.38 units
Pending:
Washington +5.5 (-110) 100 units (risking 110 units) Washington +7.5 (-150) 125 units (risking 187.5 units) Washington ML +192 60 units (risking 60 units)
All that after losing 60 units in a teaser yesterday.
