Comments on: Rutgers. Freakin' Rutgers http://redneckhigh.com/2006/11/19/rutgers-freakin-rutgers/ Tracking my football bets from the 2006 season.

You're right, I would have fared much better had I laid off the non-standard bets. First- and second-half bets especially have hurt me. It would probably be a wise idea to stop making those, except in cases where I'm hedging to preserve a bet that's already likely won. It's easy to forget all the time when second-half bets have hurt, but it's so easy to remember the few times when making them saves you. Next time I'm about to make a second-half play, I need to think back to this post. Here's how my record would look without parlays, teasers, quarter or half bets, or the like: Pointspreads and Over/Unders only: 84-87-5 Pointspreads only: 69-69-5 Pointspreads only, college only: 47-42-2 I stuck all the results in a spreadsheet so I could sort things around.

You publish your overall record, but that includes what I consider "exotic" bets, e.g. Over/Under, points in a Half, etc. Are you ahead overall in traditional straight-up college football bets where you either give or take the points? I would guess that you are ahead but I can't tell. Just curious…
