In 2006 I did fairly well with my football wagers, doubling my small bankroll over the course of the season, despite hitting a cold streak in the middle of the run. I could have done much better, had I bet smarter. I played too many games and placed too many bets just for the fun of it. My strategy this year will be to be more selective in the games I'm on. Whatever happens, I'll again keep track of my wins and losses, the upwards (or downwards… please not downwards) progression of my bankroll and, before I place any bet, I'll share my reasoning behind it.
