Ring the bell and strap in for the N.Y. Prop Exchange Week 8! Week 7 turned out another green screen for us, hitting 2 of 3 featured prop plays including Jacobs and Fournette up the ladder. 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. I’ll be covering these types of topics on my new short form podcast, THE PROFITCAST (Link to episode 1 below)!

N.Y. Prop Exchange Week 8
Chris Carson, RB Seattle Seahawks
Breakdown Prop Exchange Week 8
Carson has evolved into a true workhorse, which is really becoming quite rare lately. He’s taken at least 80% of all snaps over the last three games, and has at least 20 caries in the last four. Three of those games went over 100 rushing yards, for an average of 4.4 YPC during that stretch. SEA is in the top ten in plays run, rush attempts & rush yards so we know Carson is firmly entrenched in the gameplan. He’s even added some usefulness, catching seven of nine balls over the last two games.
The Falcons season ranks against the rush are poor across the board:
I’m not crazy about the payout for production up the ladder. Once the dust settles this weekend and I’m ready to take my full positions, I’m counting on this one as a solid even money play.
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.
Management
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.
