Newsletter Tracking (through 10/21/2024)
**Gold Sheet format was updated last week. I finally separated the picks into their proper categories. (I swear they used to all be "Key Releases" lol) This season, we missed their newsletter for Weeks 2 and 3 entirely, and Week 6 was the issue that had everything but the actual college picks.**
The records here will reflect the lines listed in the newsletters at the time the plays were published. This is for the rated plays, the high-ranking plays, and any type of play worth tracking. There’s no reason to keep track of every bottom-tier or “recommended” play; it’s not worth the work.
Sometimes the newsletters will cheat a little by claiming a different common or later line if it turns a loss into a push or otherwise boosts their record. I’ll usually be able to note what happened to explain the discrepancy.
I’ll also highlight particularly good or bad weekends or short-term runs. I will not include picks from newsletter issues that we don’t get in time.
Starting to color-code the hottest and coldest records. Usually just anything hitting/missing around 70% or more with a reasonable sample.
