We kicked off Week 13 of the college football season with our Midweek Best Bets and I hope that video provided a better explanation of my handicapping and wagering approach.
 
I want to be clear to all handicappers and novice bettors out there who take my picks; do so with the intention of using 70% typically on our main bets.
 
This will entail you using literally 70% of the allotted monies you have decided to bet with on the specific pick in each of the parlays you build. You will build these parlays from the picks I give you, and hedge them accordingly.
 
The typical 8-team parlay requires at least 13 hedges; meaning 13 different combinations of that original bet.
 
You may ask, “Why are you putting that many bets in for 8 picks?”
 
Put simply, you do so to increase your chance of winning while decreasing the probability of losing.
 
My betting strategy focuses on what I believe will happen (which due to watching and playing football my entire life, I have a keen focus on what it takes to win).
 
In terms of sports betting, we often find ourselves channeling what would we do as a coach in this situation. What are the depreciating factors that may hurt my under or over total? Can I find a proper hedge for this bet?
 
These are all questions I ask myself before making a pick. Typically, the truth of the game will always be defined from the past. And this allows me to make proper judgment of what I'm seeing in the lines.
 
I always use my eye test, and certain averages to influence which sides of the line I decide to swing. I can promise you this, your guaranteed winnings will come if you follow the strategy; I know from personal experience.
 
Enjoy Saturday’s Week 13 picks and be sure to subscribe via YouTube. I plan to continue my analysis with college basketball in the coming months along with the upcoming college football bowl season.
