Introduction to Chef's Special Betting Picks
***Read only if it is your first week here***
This week I will layout a little more information for those of you that are reading for the first time. Last year I handicapped the entire season and had a solid year finishing up 20+ units. If you are new or unfamiliar with the terminology, I will explain (also use Google if you need it).
In a nutshell, it is a way to measure the size of a bet for players of all bankroll sizes. For example, @Uncle_Leo may have a standard bet size of $10, @GarageGuyChase may have a standard bet size of $25, and @ThunderDanDFS may have a standard bet size of $50.
The weight of a unit would mean different financial gain for all of these players but tracks how well someone is doing betting as a sports bettor. For all of you basic bois, let's use my results from last year as an example - see below:
- Example: 2019 NFL Best Bets (+22.5u) 64-54 Total Bets [7-2 on 4&5U plays]
- Mr. Uncle Leo would be the following: 22.5U x $10 = $225 in the green on the season
- Mr. Garage Guy would be the following: 22.5U x $25 = $562.50 in the green on the season
- Mr. Danny Boi would be the following: 22.5U x $50 = $1125 in the green on the season.
Everyone finished in the green. However, Mr. Danny Boi made more financially than the others on his unit scale. With that being said, I performed equally for all parties.
Drew Deen's (@ChefBoiRDeen) Week 16 Betting Card
Here, I will post my Week 16 betting picks. Staying consistent with your unit size is crucial. Without it, it will seem as if I am doing better or worse than I actually am because some wins/losses will be weighted differently than the others.
2019 NFL Best Bets (+22.5u) 64-54 Total [7-2 on 4&5U plays]
2020 NFL Best Bets (+54.75u) 89-48 Total [3-0 on 4&5U plays]
- 0-1.5U Risk Record: 59-38
- 1.51U - 3.99U Risk Record: 27-10
- 4-5U Risk Record: 3-0
I'm releasing this earlier this week because we have Saturday games, but the card is incomplete and will be revised with more plays. Check back Saturday night/Sunday morning.
Last Updated: Sunday 7:15 AM EST
- Bucs/Lions Under 55 - Risk 1.1u to win 1u - Win
- Dolphins ML - Risk 1.95u to win 1.5u - Win
- Browns/Jets Over 47 - Risk 1.65u to win 1.5u - This was posted prior to the news about all of the Browns WR's missing the game due to 'Rona and the total has dropped to 44. I still think the Browns can score points against this Jets D with their two star RB's and three above-average TE's, but I'm changing this to a 1.1u to win 1u play over 44. If you already played it at 47, it is an unlucky break.
- Giants +10 vs Ravens - Risk 1.15u to win 1u
- Colts/Bears 6.5pt Teaser (Colts +8.5 & Bears -1.5) - Risk 1.8u to win 1.5u
- WFT ML vs Panthers - Risk 1.15u to win 1u
- Seahawks ML vs Rams - Risk 1.7u to win 1.5u
- Eagles/Cowboys Under 50 - Risk 1.1u to win 1u
- Packers/Titans Under 54 - Risk 1.1u to win 1u
- Bears/Bills 6.5pt Teaser (Bears -1.5, Bills -0.5) - Risk 1.2u to win 1u
- Colts/Bills 6.5pt Teaser (Colts +8.5, Bills -0.5) - Risk 1.2u to win 1u
- (Ungraded) YOLO Parlay/Teaser: Browns, Texans, Colts, Bears, & Bills 7pt Teaser - Risk 0.6u to win 2u
