Power Position Betting Sports Investing Notes: Football Week 2

A great week for the Positioning Group's members, with a solid return on investment going 6 out of 7 this week. Games which became PPB Plays for the week were:

• Saints at -2.5
• Falcons at -6.5
• Seahawks at -7.5
• Chiefs at +10.5
• Jets at +7.5
• Giants at +3.5
• Steelers at -1.5

Two of our plays came from local knowledge. Being from the New York area we know the Patriots-Jets and Eagles-Giants rivalries very well. Both games were close and to the very end, but really, as if anyone from the New York area would have said it would have been played out in any other way.

Local knowledge is one of the big factors in becoming a successful Sports Investor. Knowing a local team inside and out is priceless information that other people from across the country might not know. They are probably placing wagers on a game involving your team without the in-depth knowledge that you have and the sportsbooks odds will end up reflecting this. That's where you take your knowledge and use it to your advantage. This is especially useful and important with College Sports.

Just ask the people from Jacksonville about whether Monday Night's victory over the Colts (our only loss for the week) was any surprise to them. Yes, a lot of them would have said so using pure local emotional attachment (which can be very harmful), but there was also a bunch of statistical data that would have backed up Jacksonville's performance.

Our original Play was with the Jags but then last minute we did the unthinkable and switched. We thought Big Ben's return would be that extra little push for The Steelers. Unfortunately, the emotion was there, but the gameplay execution just wasn't.

Not all was lost though; as a PPB Bonus Play we suggested to take the under. The game ended up being the lowest scoring Monday Night Football game in history at 9-0.
