After the confusion last week, I did score my four plays 0-4. Although most of you found a better line than the one I posted and did win with the Phillies OVER, like I said, I'm showing that total as a Loss because a few of you did in fact lose that Total.
Now the queston is what do we do now? There are six Inter Conference games tomorrow. There are three ways to play them. Stay with them and bet the same unit size as last year or last week, cut you unit size by at least half, or just watch and don't play them at all.
To help you decide what to do, I went back to the first two week of last season. After looking at last year, Week One had only two Inter Conference games, which spilt, one Over with 45 points and one Under with 35 points. All the Sunday games in Week One went just 5 Over and 8 Under.
Now for where we are now, Week 2. All games went 7 Over and 6 Under, better than Week One; however, there were four I C games which went 3 Over with 47, 63 and 64 points and just one game Under with 35 points. Week 2 seems to dispute the feeling that early in the season games tend to be low scoring.
To get a better picture, I decided to go also back to Week 3 last year. There were 7 I C games which went 5 Over with 58, 64, 59, 52 and 63 points and just 2 Under with 26 and 29 points. However, looking at all the Week 3 Sunday games, there were just 6 Overs and 8 Unders. Looking at all the Sunday games the first three weeks, the Overs and Unders were a crapshoot, with about half going Over and Half going Under. But here comes the good part. Most of the Inter Conference games went Over, with 9 going Over and just 4 going Under. So last year, after just a 1-1 first week, the next two weeks the Overs were 8-3.
Now it looks like a good chance Week 1 was the bad week for Overs and that's it. The next two weeks are Inter Conference Over money makers. I was going to suggest we all pass this week, but seeing what happened last year, I would think at least half the Inter Conference games should go Over Sunday. I'm going to still play all six Inter Conference Games Over for a full unit. If you don't feel comfortable with my thinking, then please, cut these plays to just one half unit. This way you can't get hurt as bad but will make some money if the Overs do as well as last year.
HERE ARE THE SIX INTER CONFERENCE OVER GAMES FOR SUNDAY. It's now late Saturday here and I have to use the lines that are available now for record keeping, even though the lines could be lower in the morning when most of you will play these. Games start at 10 AM here and I won't have time to post this in the morning. These totals are from Bookmaker.
