What advice would you give to the community?

If you know you're making the effort to research, then you should trust your gut and process as much as you can. You can't get mad at a player when a prop pick fails. Sometimes, the best thing to do is play it again the next game, because if your process is good, then many times we were just a game early for that next touchdown, home run, or triple-double that hits. Also, never feel that you need to have a play for every game. It's best to pick your spots and to mix markets (spread, totals, moneyline, props, etc.).
