Dear Santa Coast,
I'm new to sports betting. I never had the balls to lay money down until this year. Just when I think I'm doing good, I get kicked in the ass! I'm working this Christmas day so I'm looking for a gift. Seriously, what do you recommend for making bets. I never bet more than $50 on a game or $20 on a three or four team parlay. Do you recommend parlays? One or two games here or there? Bet as many single wagers as you feel confident betting?

What does the all might Santa Coast think? If you can on this Xmas day, share with us novices some "can't miss" strategies?

I'll leave cookies and beer for you under the window Santa Coast.

Anyone else got tips for us new betters?

Sorry Belvie, I wasn't on the board at all yesterday and I didn't see anything worth playing anyway. Didn't like either of those two NFL games and thus didn't play them. There will be some juicy games coming up though. I LOVE Oklahoma (New Year's Day I think). Stay tuned..there will be some good opportunities this week.
