Moeee,
I can understand why you're a bit confused.
I follow the system strictly and bet on EVERY single selection no matter what. It doesn't matter what my ratings say and it doesn't matter if I personally think the home team is going to get thrashed, I still back them. I may have a smaller bet, but I will still back them.
On the other hand, the ratings that I do each week are ONLY a guide and I do not go by them strictly. Sometimes my own gut feeling doesn't actually agree with the numbers that my ratings spit out. As an example, my ratings suggested Brisbane would slaughter Richmond, but my own gut feeling was actually that the margin would be more like 30 points. As a result, I left the game alone. There are at the most 2 or 3 games each week where I am totally confident that my ratings are close to the mark and those are the games I look at to bet on.
