My NFL Betting Journey
My singular goal is to win betting on NFL spreads. Given the liquidity and popularity of NFL betting, this could be the most difficult market to beat. But for that reason, it offers the potential for large gains to a bettor who can succeed. My process is unique and always improving, and I believe I am on the journey to long-term success. I created this website to document every bet I place publicly and demonstrate my process in action.
I expect my results to improve over time, as I continuously improve my methodology. Still, my all-time record on public bets through 2023 is 358-316-18 (53.1%) for +34.42 Units. Detailed results (including every bet) can be found here:
Heading into the 2024 season, I will be going private with my bets as I look to scale up my exposure and maximize my profit. I will still track my bets privately and will continue to share my ideas and thoughts in various forms. Stay tuned!
