Chef's Special - Wild Card Weekend Edition

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. 

Similar to Brady staying ageless at all costs, I have been fighting the 'Rona at all costs with meds, vitamins, and liquids.  All of this with one goal in mind - 100% energy and focus on Super Wild Card Weekend.  I am gitty over the NFL playoffs from all perspectives - sports fan, DFS, sports betting, etc.

Last week, the bets cooled off going 3-3, bringing the season total to 98-55.  No, this is not a glitch in the Matrix or typo, and everything is documented here on RB.  There are some spots that I wanted to pass on this weekend, but I'm going to stay aggressive because the year has been so great, and as I said, I'm gitty for Wild Card Weekend.

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.

Here, I will post my Wild Card weekend 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 (+56.15u) 98-55 Total [3-0 on 4&5U plays]

• 0-1.5U Risk Record: 65-44
• 1.51U - 3.99U Risk Record: 30-11
• 4-5U Risk Record: 3-0

I'm going to stay aggressive and play more games than I probably should.  Sunday plays will be added here on Saturday.
