[ QUOTE ]
If I pick against the games where they agree vs the spread (6 out of 8 minimum or 7,8 out of 8) do you think this would be any better? [/ QUOTE ] No. |

Alright I'm not placing these wagers but these are the picks for this weekend's college experiement (note the collection of seven sports writers were polled, at least 5 of them took the opposing team so I would wager on these teams)
Tonight- South Carolina (-3 1/2) vs Kentucky Northern Illinois (-4) vs Temple Kansas (+3) vs Kansas State Clemson (-5) vs Va. Tech Iowa (+9 1/2) vs Penn State Florida (+9) vs LSU The collective records of the panel are 257-261 so after typing all that and realizing this I'm not so sure. The consensus is 38-36 (need 4 out of 7). So basically I don't have anything here probably. I just figured that the consensus in the end would fail... |

[/ QUOTE ] Fading some random dude who probably has no idea what he's doing is your edge? WTF man? How can you not see where this reasoning is flawed? I don't know how much more clear this could be. |

fgators - if they had a system where they flipped a coin to make their picks but their win-pct was only 45% would you pick the other side against them because you have an edge?
If you took 10 different games each week and then measured how each different coin did every week would you follow the nickel's picks because it won 56% of the time or would you decide that picking the opposite of the penny that only won 43% would have greater value? |
