Just wanted to make a quick post here on a couple of things that I missed from my last entry.
Bet with your pockets, not with your heart - If you're a [insert favorite team here] fan and you think your team is going to win every game, I wish you luck. However, odds are your team is not going to go undefeated, and I would bet everything on the fact that they will not cover every spread. Personally, I stay away from betting my team at all - this is just my own preference, but it is the smart thing to do. First of all, if you bet them as an underdog and they lose the game but cover the spread, where is the satisfaction? On the other side, if you bet on your team and they win but don't cover the spread, you still aren't happy. Obviously there will be games where everything works out for you, but the percentage probably isn't very high.
