The last 2 years, I've been keeping track of how the group's picks have done depending on the number of players making the pick.

The data the last 2 years have shown some predictive value:

1. Fade picks made by greater than 50% of the players. 9 - 6 (60%) over the last 2 years.
2. Tail picks made by greater than 33% of the players up to and including 50% of the players. 36 - 28 - 3 (56.3%) over the last 2 years.
3. Fade picks made by greater than 25% of the players up to and including 33% of the players. 43 - 58 - 4 (57.4%) over the last 2 years.

That's a total of 103 - 77 - 6 (57.2%) over the last 2 years. About 5 picks a week on average.

For this year, the number of players would be as follows for the groups above:
Note: these numbers will change next week as we have 16 players now.
I kept these numbers for Weeks 1 - 4 because of skip weeks and I'm lazy.

1. 8 or more players on a pick: FADE
2. 4 - 5 players on a pick: FADE
3. 6 - 7 players on a pick: TAIL

For Week 4, here are the numbers:
1. 0 - 0
2. 4 - 2
3. 0 - 1

Week 4 Total: 4 - 3

For Week 3, here are the numbers:
1. 1 - 0
2. 3 - 3
3. 0 - 0

Week 3 Total: 4 - 3

For Week 2, here are the numbers:
1, 0 - 1
2. 4 - 1
3. 1 - 1

Week 2 Total: 5 - 3

For Week 1, here are the numbers:
1. 0 - 1 (lost by 1/2 point)
2. 1 - 5 (1 loss by 1/2 point)
3. 0 - 1

Week 1 Total: 1 - 7.

Season Totals:
1. 1 - 2
2. 12 - 11
3. 1 - 3

Season Total: 14 - 16

If Cowboys cover +2.5 I think I have another perfect week. I’m beginning to think maybe I’m actually good at this and not randomly lucky?

I’m going with randomly lucky…..

I'm just as randomly lucky! At least this week, for the first time, I bet all of my picks individually. Nice little profit, because I don't make large bets!

Nice! I enjoy playing on words, and you played on numbers! Whenever I hear the Chicago song, 25 or 6 to 4, I think, “I’m going to look up the meaning later…”, and I never have until now. Thanks for the reminder!

According to Quora:
The title refers to the time of day, specifically 25 or 26 minutes until 4 a.m., which translates to 3:35 or 3:36 a.m. The song describes the experience of trying to write a song in the early morning hours, while struggling with fatigue and waiting for inspiration to strike.
It’s a dog eat dog world. …Or maybe it’s the other way around!

Whenever I think I know something on which team to bet on I get brought down to earth quickly.
Expert SOOPOO thinks Commanders are still underrated. And Ravens are good, but weren’t good enough to beat lowly Raiders. And were collapsing again against the undermanned Bills until McDermott actually tried to think.
So getting a full 7 points seems ‘too good to be true’.

It’s early enough in the season that I’m not worrying about exposing my picks. I wouldn’t do so in weeks 17 and 18.

Vegasbrent Ravens -7 should be a push, not a win.

Time to fall on my sword. Please ignore my previous posts about these. I have done a deeper dive and found a few errors in this year's picks.

I have updated my numbers and they are below. They still are not in line with the previous years, but that may be due to the fewer number of players this year than the previous 2. Plus, we're not even halfway through the season.

The last 2 years, I've been keeping track of how the group's picks have done depending on the number of players making the pick.

The data the last 2 years have shown some predictive value:

1. Fade picks made by greater than 50% of the players. 9 - 6 (60%) over the last 2 years.
2. Tail picks made by greater than 33% of the players up to and including 50% of the players. 36 - 28 - 3 (56.3%) over the last 2 years.
3. Fade picks made by greater than 25% of the players up to and including 33% of the players. 43 - 58 - 4 (57.4%) over the last 2 years.

That's a total of 103 - 77 - 6 (57.2%) over the last 2 years. About 5 picks a week on average.

For 2024 to date:

1. 1 - 2
2. 3 - 5
3. 11 - 13

Total: 15 - 20

I'd also like to point out that 4 of the losses were by 1 or a half point! Having many outs would mitigate this if you're using this in the real world.

The last 2 years, I've been keeping track of how the group's picks have done depending on the number of players making the pick.

The data the last 2 years have shown some predictive value: (this year, not so much!)

1. Fade picks made by greater than 50% of the players. 9 - 6 (60%) over the last 2 years.
2. Tail picks made by greater than 33% of the players up to and including 50% of the players. 36 - 28 - 3 (56.3%) over the last 2 years.
3. Fade picks made by greater than 25% of the players up to and including 33% of the players. 43 - 58 - 4 (57.4%) over the last 2 years.

That's a total of 103 - 77 - 6 (57.2%) over the last 2 years. About 5 picks a week on average.

For 2024 to date:

1. 1 - 2
2. 5 - 7
3. 12 - 16

Total: 18 - 25

I'd also like to point out that 4 of the losses were by 1 or a half point! Having many outs would mitigate this if you're using this in the real world.

It's not a sin if you don't win, but it's a tragedy if you don't try. Be happy and have fun!

Every week I tell myself, just pick underdogs and unders. I just cannot seem to do that...and looks where it gets me.
