Ring the bell and strap in for the N.Y. Prop Exchange Week 7.2! To say we’ve picked up some serious momentum would be an understatement after smashing another ten bagger last week. That’s two weeks in a row we’ve had a ten to one come through! Most cappers might not take down a single (+1000) in a season, let alone two in a row! Today’s play is a bit more conservative and only for a single unit, but that’s one of my personal keys to sustaining profit in sport markets; Eliminate the big loss. If you can relegate your game to only three of the four outcomes (Small win, small loss & big win) you will find yourself on a sure climb to profitability. I’m not going to tilt and chase unrealistic expectations on my own small sample. Remember, past performance is no indication of future success.

N.Y. Prop Exchange Week 7.2
Leonard Fournette, RB Jacksonville Jaguars
Breakdown
Fournette is 3rd in the NFL in total offensive snap percentage (91.4%), behind only CMC and Leveon Bell. He’s a true three down back, and has at least 20 carries the past three games (two of which went for +100 yds). Last week’s poor yardage performance & YPC should be attributed to the Saints’ stout run defense (78.0 RuYd/Gm), something that is not likely in the cards for this weekend. The Bengals haven’t defended the run well whatsoever this year:
- Rushing Yards Allowed : 31st (396)
- Rushing Yards Per Game : 30th (126.5)
I think regardless of game script, the stars are aligned for a big game from Leonard. Let’s take a look and see if it’s worth betting up the ladder.
I’m not a fan here of the limited payout as we go up in production. My initial instinct says to bet one unit, pay the minimal juice for 88+ (-114) and not be greedy. I could see splitting that unit and betting 0.25u on the 98+ (+108) depending on risk tolerance and confidence level.
General Risk Strategy
I often get questions about betting strategy. It all starts with proactively determining how much I’m going to bet and then working backwards when applying that to my plays on a percent basis.
My daily allotted risk (R) shifts with performance. I have found that reducing bets during down times helps greatly in protecting capital. To be more specific, my standard is a risk of R=1% total stack. After a winning day it goes to 1.5%, and caps at a max 2% after two wins in a row. I do the opposite as well. I remain at 1% if there are two losing days, and reduce to a capped minimum of 0.5% for the third.
Daily Betting Strategies
I’d like to share a few of my fallback plans on playing strategy in case I don’t get to a specific plan on a given night. If a bet is at or close to even, bet it straight. We want to avoid pairing action as much as possible. Sometimes the odds make this unavoidable. Whenever I have two heavy favorite picks, I will pair them. If I have three favorites, I play a small ABC F5ML parlay, and then play all three F5RLs straight, but of course it always depends on the specific odds that day. I do not like to pay any juice beyond -200. I would never play those straight. We must pair, or fade. Any team can win on any day.
Whenever I have four picks that come with juice, I’m usually going to play a Round Robin where 3 of 4 hits will guarantee a nice percentage profit, and all 4 is huge night on a relatively small risk. I also always take a small percentage of daily risk on a four game parlay.
If there are ever more than four plays, I try to compartmentalize the picks, and then follow one of the plans above. A good place to start is to play any underdogs straight and then either pair by length, or by time of day. It’s always a good idea to separate the later games on tickets to allow for chances to hedge and guarantee profit.
Tailor your game to your own account and expectations. I bet small relative to stack, and bet smart. If you can’t make money with $100, what makes you think you’ll make money with $10,000?
I never risk more than 1% on any outcome, and never bet more than 2% on any given night. I scale those numbers down into losing streaks, and increase them again as the wins roll in.
