jbob53 tracking, thanks jbob!

Newsletter Tracking of College Picks by jbob53, posted September 26 at another forum:

I will track 5 newsletters. The lines i use will be from Thursday. I will NOT use the lines
in the newsletters because of so much line movement. Most newsletters are put out
on Tuesday and the line's have been up since Sunday. Also I will NOT use the stars or
unit's in the newsletters. Most people bet a set amount on each bet. Nothing hurts more
than playing 6 games and winning 4 and lose money. Plus I do NOT recommend that you
blindly play there picks.......................................Jbob

After 4 weeks only Pointwise is doing well. Playbook and Power's Picks are above 50%.
CKO and Powersweep are below the break even point. Also I wish to thank Buzz for the
kind words. For The ONE's that do not like the way I'm doing my tracking, Don't read it.
In my world this is my "official record of record".......................................Jbob

Newsletter Tracking by Mendoza Line, posted September 25 at another forum:

Not every newsletter gets posted every week, and I'll try to note when the record doesn't include every week of the season.

Another note is that the grading is based on the line indicated in the newsletter at the time of publication, not the closing line. (For example, most newsletters bet on Jacksonville at a pick'em, so even though most bettors could have won with a +2.5 or +3 on Sunday, Jacksonville will be graded as a loss in this post.)

The lower the number the higher the play, so #1's are the top plays.
