I just want to relay a lesson I seem to have to re-learn over and over again. Since I live in Reno NV, I like to put together parlays occasionally at the local sportsbook. My main focus is two or three play teasers. Thats why I call this page 'Teaser King'. But every once and a while I'll go for a long shot and play a six to eight regular side or total parlay off the board or a card. I usually play off the board because the cards usually leave off the lesser known to the public games or the games they consider too much of a risk. (The best overall cards to play are the William Hill cards. They usually have the most plays, best odds and higher payouts).
Today I missed a six teamer by one pick and another and another by two. The first loser was Clemson. The two on the other card were Indiana and Wyoming. One of my main rules in capping is to avoid teams perceived to be weaker than the other. The other even more important rule is never to choose a play I didn't do my complete homework on. Don't add on games once you've made your final choices. I'ts bad enough to lose on a pick you thoroughly studied but to lose on a last minute whim shows a lack of discipline.
p.s. (Their is no worse feeling in sports wagering than having the right plays and not making the play.)
