My NFL Picks by Week

MadmanSports, in my mind, would be the appropriate name to call a service that says they can beat the odds all the time.  Trying to consistently make money betting on football is, in my opinion, the quick way to losing money for 99% of people.  Most bookies and sports nuts won't admit it.  If you are trying to win your football pool at work this service might help but I am not going to guarantee anything.

MadmanSports was a thought of mine a few years ago when I was betting on football games.  I wasn't betting anything big.  I would bet a few $20 wagers and occasionally as much as $100 on a given Sunday.  I was pretty good at picking football teams and so, at the end of the season, I made a little bit of money (a few hundred dollars total).  For me the whole purpose was to see if I could actually beat the odds.

For the record, I don't gamble on sports at all anymore.  It is illegal to bet on sports just about everywhere but Vegas.  A few years ago it wasn't illegal to bet on the Internet, which it is today.  

If you bet on NFL football, the most common bet in Vegas and to bookies, the odds of winning are smaller than in college football and other sports due to the parity in the league.  That is just a fact.

I post my football picks for one reason and one reason only.  Entertainment value.  I find it interesting to see if I can continue to "beat the odds", which I have managed to do for a few years.  I have never calculated my winning percentage because I always ended up with more money than I started with but since I no longer wager on sports I thought it would be fun to actually calculate it.  On top of that, some of my buddies were asking me for my football picks so the picks went online.
