Colin Cowherd Friday Show - Sports handicapping Forum

legalarceny · 12-09-2006, 03:34 AM

Cowherd's theory on Friday was to bet $1000 on every pro dog from day one of the season. My records show that eliminating the games where the teams were PK, this theory would be ahead as of this date.
Favorites won 82 and Dogs won 98. Therefore at 1000 for each win = 98,000 and 1100 for each loss = 90200 for a net gain of $7800.
That's a little over 4 percent return on your investment of $180,000 bet. I guess that's better than the losses I have so far plus you don't have to listen to the scammers.
Anybody know how this has done over the past few years.

Some cappers have the same theory about the college bowl games.

Maybe nobody cares but Home dogs are 21-11 v. Away dogs who are 40-43. If I were betting I would take the home dogs.

at another forum they had a free contest that you had to pick only nfl underdogs, ML or spread, up to 3/week. as of now 64 people had + money records and 34 were -money. the % was even better in the first 4-5 weeks when people that were losing didn't start playing big ML dogs to try and catch up (some did). this is a great example of what people should look to play in the nfl. the amounts of the plus records were much better than the minus records also

year to date NFL:
(according to what I have, the record is dependent upon what line you use, obviously)

ALL Dogs: 98-86 53.6%
Away Dogs: 60-63 48.8%
Home Dogs: 38-23 62.3%

Legallarcency: I don't know where you are getting your records, but you might want to double check them.

Used ending lines before kickoff from Scores and odds, additionally I eliminated all games which were pick (even) at kickoff. Home dogs 21-11 and road dogs 40-43 during that period
