Wow this is an awesome breakdown.. as this give us a dose of reality... This is a "show me the Money" business and it looks like most are not delivering on that. I guess we can't really complain since most of us are technically not paying for their picks anyways... but d*mnit we want to win!
since I was bored today... I decided to do some calculating of my own and take the two big winners from week 4 and go back thru to weeks 1-4 to see their picks and add up how they did..
Well it looks like Winning Points was just a blind squirrel finding a nut as he/she/they? had 3 losing weeks in a row until week 4... overall record is 12-12 and when you apply the rating value... the newsletter is -$510 on the year. Even after bouncing back over 1k this week. Yikes. :>(
Wk1 -810 (2-4)
Wk2 -600 (2-4)
Wk3 -180 (3-3)
Wk4+1080 (5-1)
=-$510
College Football Advisor also had a great week 4 +1300 and I went to their twitter page (@CFBAdvisor) checked out their first 4 weeks of newsletters.. and gotta say its been pretty solid, so far. Looks like they're 16-6-1. 72.7% .. No losing weeks straight up.. When star weighting applied +1750!
Wk1 +450 (5-2-1)
Wk2 -50 (3-2)
Wk3 50 (3-2)
Wk4 +1300 (5-0)
=+$1750
I'll admit I'd be really happy with that since I followed Powers' picks in week 3 right into bankruptcy when he went 0-5..
hno:.. so I can't afford another one of those weekends. Good luck everyone!
