For the official units tabulation, plus money bets are 1 unit bets, and minus money bets are to win 1 unit. (Example: -120 is risk 1.2 units to win 1 unit, and +120 is risk 1 unit to win 1.2 units.)
Final Tally: +75.96 units
Where I Whiffed: Stroud #1, Gonzalez CB1, Bijan, exact pick bets.
Where I Dominated: Smith-Njiba WR1, Team to Draft Position with first pick, Moody to Niners.
My favorite value plays outside of DK, FD, CZ, and BOL.
TEN Titans to draft Levis +1800 W
MIN Vikings to draft Levis +3150 L
MIN Vikings to draft Johnston +2970 L
HOU Texans to draft Gibbs +5600 L
TEN Titans to draft Richardson +3500 L
These bets will not be counted towards the official units tabulation because I did not include them in the official Twitter betting thread. I could not find these odds on DK, FD, CZ, and BOL, so I did not post them. (The idea is for followers to be able to find every bet I post on widely-used sportsbooks). I included them here to show the immense value you can get in the NFL Draft props market, though. If you follow the draft process closely, you can place a slew of low risk, high reward bets.
Be sure to check out last year's tips on how to get an edge in the NFL Draft Props market. As of March 28, the majority of these wagers have increased in value. You can find the link to my ongoing Twitter thread for 2023 NFL Draft bets here.
