Hello all,
I have a system that has hit at 62% or higher for the last 4-5 years. I tried to copy and paste it but it says that I have too many words to put in one message so I will copy and paste it in pieces.Please let me copy the whole thing before anyone comments.
thanks,
sal

Yahoo bowl %'s

Hello all,
for the last 2-3 years I have been following PUBLIC %'s in bowl games. I am not going to reprint the past couple years but if you want to read them I think they are still accessible. I don't know the exact records but they were over 60% last year and better than that 2-3 years ago. The premise is that on a bowl challange picking just the SU winners take the opposite team that the public likes. It is just that easy. I prob should have posted this earlier but kinda forgot about it. Anyhow, it is prob a good thing that I didn't post it because anybody following it would have prob lost every one so far. Here is what the public likes from a yahoo contest:

Well they would not have lost all of them but it hasn't been that good so far.
During  the games on ESPN they are showing publis %'s for upcoming games. With the DVR here is the ESPN %'S FOR THE UPCOMING GAMES:
i WILL GIVE THE SMALLER % (THE TEAM TO TAKE) first. I just started writing these down a couple days ago but they are prob not much different than Yahoo's:
S.D. St=41%       w
Tulsa=18%          w
Flo. Int.=41%      w
Air Force=47%     w
NC St.=32%        w
Iowa=48%          w
E. Car=34%
Ill.=43%
Ari.=18%
SMU=45%
Syr=34%
No. Car.=47%
Wash.=12%

That is all they have posted so far but if I miss any, you guys can feel free to post the newer % here if I don't. If we don't get them all, they prob won't be much different than Yahoo's. So far this system is 3wins-4 loses. This has really been a good system through the years and I would not be surprised to see it go on a little run now to catch up with the bad start. I will try to keep up on this as the bowl season progresses.

Good luck to all and MERRY CHRISTMAS!

now up to 7wins 4losses after tues games. It did go on a little run after starting out bad. Up to 63%.
Lets see how this plays out. Oh, by the way I have always thought that the ESPN %'s were better. If there is a difference between %'s I will always go with ESPN.

I would be a little leary of following this system for todays games. If I remember right at this stage of the bowl season we had a day where all three favs covered. Al least I seem to recall this happening for the last three years. Anyhow, good luck on whatever you decide to play!

I just saw these new %s on the ticker on ESPN.
So. Flo=38%
Notre D=42%
Cen. Flo.=21%
Flo. St.=36%


edit-  I think that ESPN's % represent the square play best. It is on TV and easy to access for the typical non-gambler, where to play Yahoo contests you have to actually look for them.

Both Yahoo and ESPN % are staight up. When I started really checking out this system was 4-5 years ago. I used to call my father and ask him about his thoughts about certain games and then bet opposite. He is the typical square public guy. When he found out what I was doing he was a little embarassed and started picking games that he normally wouldn't. At that point I had to find a different source for my sqare public picks. At that time ESPN was airing their bowl mania show with public %s scrolling across the ticker.I had taped the show and wrote down all the %s. That first year going opposite the publc %s WON AT AROUND 80%. I have been following it ever since. For the last two years ESPN is not showing all the public plays at once but instead dolling them out through the bowl season. Last year I joined a contest on Yahoo and CBS to get my %s and while they didn't produce as well as 80% they still hit around 65%.
  This system is really quite simple and staight forward. You simply fade the team that Joe Public thinks is going to win.

sorry about the double post there. I am really stuggling here and have somehow f/u the thread. It kept saying that I had too many characters. Anyhow, If you can figure out what all this means you will see that it is a proven system and it is documented.

  good luck to all,   sal

New %s out:

Northwestern=43%

Flo=47%

Mich St=31%

Mich=48%

U Conn=11%

Yesterday we had a discrepency in the Smu/Navy game. On Yahoo  Army was the play at 23%, while on ESPN SMU was the pick at 45%. Last year I used Yahoo and CBS %s. When these would contradict each other, I called it a no play. That is why there seemed to be less bowl games Last year than the year before. With the remaining 3 games the system hit them all.

GLTA, Sal

Katey,

try to overlook the thread being f/u and look at the results. Over the last 4 years this system has hit at a minimum of 62%. Probably averaging 67% during that time.
