i've cut my plays down a good bit this year. only look at 5 games a week after initial research of the games. good luck on your plays this week, as long as we're not head to head.
I think that is smart to cut it to 5 plays. I have hard time doing that.
You said you have 3 for Sat. You already capped the card and found 3? Or you just looking for 3?
Today I look at the lines and jot down all the plays I like that I think the lines will be moving. Cap them and try and put them in. Then I add games gradually throughout the week.
i actually look at the card 8-9 days in advance. that way i don't take a big winner against a big loser solely for that reason. it also helps me to cap it early and get a feel for what i think the line should be before it comes out.
