Did you know you need to hit 52.4% of your games to win in college football? That assumes the following: All your major plays invested the same way (e.g. $100.00 per game); that you’re paying a 10% vigorish and that you avoid, parlays, reverses, ifs teasers and all other exotic type bets .
Follow the old adage of K.I.S.S. (Keep it Simple Stupid):
Hit 52.4% of your major plays and you will win money. Do any of the negative variables mentioned above, and you take the very disastrous chance of having a winning percentage for the year and still being a loser!
Let me give you an example. On a particular weekend, you pick 6 games and go 4-2. If you invested a straight $100.00 per game, you'd be up $180.00 for the weekend. Not bad. But, let's say instead of playing those games straight, you played 2, 3-team parlays. On one parlay, you win 2 and lose 1. On the other parlay, you also win 2 games and lose 1 game. Instead of the 180.00 you'd be up by playing teams straight, you have now lost both parlays and are showing negative profit for your 4-2 record. See what I mean?
