Excellent advice GoSooners. Last year, I played exactly 5 bowl games and won 3. Normally I make the majority of my money early in the season. As the season wears on, I find myself wagering less and less, for several reasons. First, the books have basically caught up. Secondly, in the colleges, most of the games are conference games, and I prefer to wager on non-con games. In the pros, the later the season gets, the more teams there are that "throw in the towel" and start to look to the following year.
Geting back to our friend for a moment, I do not believe for one second that he has 160 large to lose. I do not believe that anyone in this forum has that kind of money to lose. I probably play more than the vast majority in here, and I do not budget myself for a potential 160 K loss. If he is a chaser, he is a loser. I will commend him for "giving" away his picks, but if he loses that much in one season, that really isn't saying much, is it?
