Good Luck This Weekend Folks!!!!
-Crickett
A brutal week of bad beats in the NFL that produced a week so historic, it had never happened in the prior 1000+ Sundays of the NFL -- a perfect spread record on Sunday and Monday for public backing road favorites. By a YPP basis, it should have been a slightly profitable NFL week, which gives us some sense of the bad luck train that rolled over us, the sharps, and the sportsbooks on Sunday. C'est la vie -- that's the betting life of heavy volume. As past is prologue, now will likely be a good time to hop on, not jump off.
