So, we are now through 10 weeks of picking 10 games per week against the spread. There was a buy in $75, I think. (Weekly winners get a small prize, top 3 overall get a lot more at the end).
40 participants
High - 57
Low - 37 (and this person did not miss any weeks)
Mean - 48.425
Median - 48.5
Mode - 51
How many making money vs Vegas (>52): 10
Losing money vs Vegas (<53): 30
In fact, there are 7 players that are picking so badly, that they would be in 1st place if they bet the opposite on every pick.
We did have 2 people for get to turn in a week (but the player in last, wasn't one of them). Move money to Vegas (lost ticket effect).
Presuming everyone bet $10 per game per week, you get the following:
Money risked: $40,000
10 Winners winnings $366 - $36.6/person
30 Losers Losings ($3,387) - ($112.9)/person
Net of group ($3,021)
My personal performance is 46:
W1-7
W2-4
W3-7
W4-1 Ouch Funny thing is with real money I actually broke even this week. Crazy.
W5-3
W6-5
W7-7 (6 way tie for best score of the week)
W8-4
W9-2
W10-6
