Record is good but unfair to put on here without documentation. Will keep going forward. This pool has been VERY helpful.

Both have been great. Only real big thing I've noticed is the heavily picked underdogs always lose. Like Texas this week. BOL!

56-2 on New England PLAY Miami +6.5
70-10 on KC PLAY Cleveland +8

98-8 on Seattle PLAY St. Louis

That's it. The lines I put next to the plays were what was played on Wednesday and may not be available today but from my experience it hasn't mattered

 Let's make $ 

It's wonderful to see a little system work like this. Hope we're all can win some money from the first Saturday you post in here to get confident to play the follow week. Thank you for posting

The other beauty of this is the lines on these games should only get better as it gets closer to game time!

I used to use a similar system and it worked great.  They don't do the pool anymore. Keep posting!!

Here is one possible flaw in this - there are 500 cappers, so there has to be 50 to 75 cappers who are 53% or better, a bunch of 50% at best cappers, and about 100 who are low 40s.

You would want to know what group the 34 people taking Buffalo are in.

If all 34 are bums, then fade away.

If most of those people are the best cappers, then you may not want to fade. (or you may still want to fade, that remains to be seen)

Thorpe I agree partially with what you are saying. However as time will show fading this pool works which in a way shows us the 50%ers are responsible for most of the picks.
