If you work for them you can still bet with other agencies

So when you bet what are you going for? Parlays? I was looking at moneyline but unless I'm mistaken with the moneyline at 110 for a winning team you'd have to pick the winner 90% of the time to even break even. That's pretty daunting in the era of parity where any team can win any game. I'm not willing to do that until I compile some stats on how often I can cherrypick select matchups and how often there is an upset in those games.

Thanks for this thread. You've managed to spur me into retooling my picks spreadsheet for next year to factor in the odds and see if there is an area I can excel (bad pun) at.

PostScriptium: Do you happen to keep (or know a place for) any statistics on things like divisional matchups or home field advantage?
