You're not doing bad. The average person betting sports can't sustain a 50 percent winning percentage over time. And anything above that is unrealistic to someone not doing it as their profession, even then it's not as common as you think. Not sure where you are from, or what you're laying on these bets, but in the us if you're a professional gambler as a profession, right now you would have brought in 6 units, and lost 5.5 units roughly. That 5.5 lost is tax write off. You can write it all off up to the point of the total brought back in. So say you made 50k in wins over a year, and 40k in losses, for a net of 10k, the 40k is deductible. If you won 40k from wins, and lost 50k from the losses, only up to the 40k you made would be deductible in the losses.
If you're doing it just for fun, you're right about at the average for breaking even, or having a little bit at the end of the year, so just have fun with it. 🙂

Having it at 4 definitely would have been better since it's a key number, but if you capped it well over 5, then I see nothing wrong here. Like I said, I tend to do the same thing on early lines I like too. Will be a good test for greenbay, they have definitely over performed the expectations so far. Hope they continue to so you cash it.

I shouldn't bet on any Thursday NFL game. I'm 38-17 on the year and feels like damn near half the losses have been Monday/Thursday night games.
That said... I'm going to get on over 25.5 team total for the packers for reasons I said in the game thread on here. If you are smart, you'd fade me here due to my record on games that aren't on Sunday haha. I think the Packers win this game, and if they dont, I think it turns into a shoot out where they probably cover this anyway. For those reasons I like it better than the game spread.

I'm not exactly sure how many people who are active in this thread can actually play in Unibet but if you are fortunate enough then you may want to participate in this Unibet NFL competion aswell where you need to choose match winners and should you do it succesfully enough you're probably going to win some prizes ...

Adding cowboys -2.5. I see teddy kind of like winston, flashes here and there but never substained. With brees out they will be able to focus more attention on Kamara without being ands worried with brees finding where the extra defender came from. First real test for Dallas and I'd have to figure the coaching staff knows the importance of that moving on.
Tease of ravens at 0 and rams at -2. Pretty straight forward. I they they both should manage at least a 3 point win 90 percent of the time here.
I'm leaning on the bears, but I'm not going to bet it yet. People are hammering the Vikings, so I'm going to hope they keep hammering them. Like is down to 1.5 with the juice on the vikings.
