If only Mac had the ability to stick with this for the season.

The better move would have been to bet nothing but overs

Mac's plan was to play the biggest ML favorite every week. Denver just lost at almost -500. That wipes away five weeks right there.

4.2% return. Better than a money market. Mac wins again.

Even with the huge money lines involving the early Jacksonville games? It has to be lower than that. The Seattle/Jacksonville game was -2200.




This is an abnormality. I can't remember favorites hitting like this, in all of my years going to the window. Scorehead is winning the pickem league, if that tells you anything.

The show pot vanished like a fart in the wind. Mac lost, as usual.

I will say on my wagering, this is where I get caught the most, if I like an underdog, instead of taking the points, I go right to the moneyline, so probably could have made more along the way, wanted to make more quick.

If you wanted to try the moneyline with the favorites, do a parlay with a couple of them, may have a 5 team one, but if comes through make some money and when I have done that in the past, always one u have to sweat out.

Yeah, you're right. I was assuming you were just putting a $100 on each game.

I'm not going to go back and calculate all that out. I'll just assume Mac is correct and move on.

The Seattle game would be betting $2200 to win $100, that's why I don't think the 4.2% return was correct. There were some HUGE point spreads this year.

Again, this is an anomaly. We can do this again next year, and I would be shocked if the results are the same.

It isn't a "pickem" league...its an against the spread league. You are picking the same games with the same point spreads as I am...you just aren't as good at it as I am.

On Twitter, somebody in the know said that this was the worst NFL Sunday for Vegas this year. If the Eagles cover, it will be even worse.

What would your total outlay be for making 1300 dollars?

Thanks for doing this Chus. Was fun to see every week .

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

Does it matter? The system takes almost zero work and I don't think it was ever in the red at any point during the year. I call that a good run. I wouldn't rely on it in the future

It does from an ROI perspective - He might have made 1300 bucks but if he had to outlay 70K to do it, it doesn't look too good. You could make more money in the bank - that's all I'm saying.

First 2 weeks averaged a $4k outlay so $70k seems about right.

So looks to be about 5.5-6.0% return over 4 months or so.
