Bob Dietz: A perennial favorite in the Wise Guys Contest

11-8 ATS so far +2.2 units
Different group of guys this year though. Will track

One guy that has been consistent in the Playbook Wise Guys Contest is Bob Dietz and we have shamelessly promoted him in this thread, for a reason. I believe he went 2-0 on his first two picks in the contest. From the current issue of Playbook Wise Guys Contest:

Mendoza Line Newsletter Tracking Through September 8, 2019

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. Many of these newsletters will claim a win against the best available line as it moves throughout the week, but these records reflect the outcome against the line they were willing to make a play on in their newsletter.

On following LYs Playbook contest top 20, (they had a real good week in college 17-6 on 1 & 2 stars combined). I went back and checked records of them. I had 16 wks from '18, 18 wks from '17, 15 wks from '16. I didn't find any difference much at all in 1* & 2* picks. in fact, a lot of cases 1*s were much better. below are the cappers name,
Yearly WL records,
games w-l, win % (based L3Y, what I could find of it.)

They went 7-4 in college , 8-7 NFL in wk1.

#1 - Edel, 2-0, 37-24, 60.7% … (no '17 record for him)
#2 - Witt, 3-0, 58-40, 59.2% …
#3 - JH Sports Plays, 3-0, 54-40, 57.4% …
#4-6 - Iskoe, 3-0, 54-41, 56.8%
Hurricabe bill, 2-0-1, 54-41, 56.8% … (not listed this year)
K. Thomsen, 2-0-1, 54-41, 56.8% …
#7 - J. Nelson, 2-1, 55-42, 56.7%
#8 - Spec K, 2-0-1, 53-42, 55.8
#9-10 - Muzyck, 1-1-1, 55-43, 56.1% … (won big LY, 32-34 Last 2)
TD Tony, 3-0, 55-43, 56.1%
#11-13 - D'Angelo, 2-1, 54-43, 55.7%
Lisowski, 3-0, 54-43, 55.7% …. (Not listed this year)
Stat Fox Jeff, 3-0, 54-43, 55.7% … (L2y Statfox Dave...not sure same guy)
#14-15 Doc's, 3-0, 52-44, 54.2%
Muzyck, 1-1-1, 52-44 , 54.2% … (LY super record, L2Y 32-34 combined)

Hope this helps … GL

Keep in mind that these are plays picked by handicappers on Monday (between 4 to 9pm). College totals aren't out yet so those are not an option.

DR T:
I didn't have access to the individual plays for all 50 handicappers. Only their totals. According to Lawrence, they cannot pick college totals until the bowl games.
The thing I was trying to do is give people who might follow these plays, a look at how these guys have done over more than just last season. Picking for 3 seasons and going 55-57% over 100 games is from what I have seen about as good as your gonna' get. Muzyck, who was something like 21-4 or something like it, went 17-19 the year before and 15-15 2 years ago. He is likely to head in that direction again. As is Dietz, who has had 2 outstanding years, back to back, but, was 11-18 before that.
a guy who hit 67 or 70 pct LY is much more likely to return toward .500. I believe if you are gonna' follow guys like this, this group would be more profitable than just following LYs top 20.

There were also some pretty good fades as well. JB Sports 38-57 L3 Years, Merrill 35-61 L3 Years, Gainous 28-37 L2Y & T Scot 42-55 L3Y

A couple more.

Stormin' Norman 3-0, 54-42, 56.3% … He went 2-0 wk1 on 2 college plays...I just overlooked him. he was a contest darling 2 years ago going 21-14.
Vegas Synergy 2-0, 39-29, 57.3% ,,, He won with Bills, Lost with Tx St in wk1. I left him out because he only has 2 years to look at.

also, didn't find 2* plays any better than 1* plays.

Only one newsletter with consistent winning results year after year, and that's Gridiron Gold Sheet. All picks posted in every newsletter, and it continues week after week. No BS like others that state 246-98 for the past 11 years with no way to validate.

Thanks for the heads up EntourageMG, the record has been corrected.
