FF’S Betting Philosophy:

I believe in strict money management.  If you do not have this  you are a gambler, plain and simple and a gambler never wins!  I personally do not believe in doubling up after a loss or chasing money that is lost.  This is when a bettor gets into trouble.  If you follow my strict money management process and star ratings you will succeed continually over a prolonged period of time.

My philosophy comes down to how confident I am in my information relevant to the line that Vegas has released.  More often than not my higher rated games are between teams that odds makers won’t spend as much time on.  That is where you can catch the mistakes and cash in!  I rank all of my games on a 1-10 star rating.  You can see what a 6* vs. a 4* or a 10* means below.

The amount of money you place on a wager should be directly correlated to the star rating.  You can set this however you want.  However, as I stressed before money management is the most important thing in betting and winning not just in one week but over a prolonged period of time.  What I would suggest is figuring out what your bank roll is.  For example we will use $1,000 as a players bank roll.  I recommend that you should never bet over your head which in this case your typical bets should be 2.5% of your bank roll which is $25.  Depending on the strength of play you would want to increase your wager amount.

Star Rating

Note: You may sometimes here me use the phrase dime or 4Dime play.  This is just my own term and what I play on a game.  $500 = 1/2 Dime which is a 1 unit or 1** play for me here.  So if I say 4Dime play this is the same as a 8** play or $4,000 personal wager!  This is the best way I can explain it some times when I’m writing up plays real fast I use different terms!

1-2* = Good Bets (1-DIME PLAYS)
3-4* = Action Bets (2-DIME PLAY)
5-6* = Best Bets (3-DIME PLAYS)
7-8* = Top Bets (Week) (4-DIME PLAYS)
9-10* = Super Bet (Month or Year) (5-DIME PLAYS)
