Week 17 Bets...

No bets for Dave or Mike this week.

Greg ($102):
LOSS - $10 - New England -14.5 vs NY GIANTS
LOSS - $10 - Buffalo +7.5 vs PHILADELPHIA
LOSS - $10 - TAMPA BAY +3 vs Carolina
WIN - $10 - Cinncinnati -3 vs MIAMI

WIN - $10 - GREEN BAY -3.5 vs Detroit
LOSS - $10 - St Louis +6 vs ARIZONA
LOSS - $2 - NEW YORK JETS -6.5 vs Kansas City

Greg loses $52 to finish the week at $50.

So, Greg places some desperation bets to attempt to catch up, while Mike all but concedes to David. The playoffs are still open for betting, but with only 13 total games, Mike has his work cut out for him to gain $80.

Updated Standings:
Dave - $205
Mike - $125

Betting Stats through week 7...

Overall Betting Record (%) [record last three weeks]:
Dave: 27-13-3 (67.5%) [14-3-0]
Mike: 15-12-2 (55.5%) [8-6-0]
Greg: 10-9-0 (52.6%) [6-3-0]
Brad: 16-20-3 (44.4%) [7-5-1] (Combined 35-17-1 as a group last three weeks)

Remember, in Vegas breaking even is 52.5% due to the juice. Of course, Mike and Greg have won money in this because while their betting percentages appear close to break even, they have a higher percentage of large bets to small bets.

Brad...needs some work... :)

Week Five Lines...

Interesting Statistical note from last week.

With regards to money lines, I made seven bets and bet on six home teams and one away team (New Enlgand).

Combined between Mike, Greg and Brad, ten money bets were made and the away team was bet on all ten times.

Just an interesting statistical oddity. Since barely any money was won by anyone, it probably isn't meaningful, just cute.

And on to week 4...

Carolina +3 vs NEW ORLEANS (44.5)
Jacksonville -2 vs KANSAS CITY (36)
Detroit +3.5 vs WASHINGTON (46.5)
Atlanta +8 vs TENNESSEE (40.5)

Seattle +5.5 vs PITTSBURGH (39)
Cleveland +16.5 vs NEW ENGLAND (48.5)

San Diego +1 vs DENVER (42.5)
Baltimore -3 vs SAN FRANCISCO (35.5)
Chicago +3 vs GREEN BAY (40.5)

Point Spread Challenge - Week 1 Update...

All bets are in and most bets have been won and lost in the first annual Weasel Point Spread Challenge. Just to reiterate the rules, we are picking games with the point spread or the over/under bets on the board. There is no juice (house 10% take), so you either double up or lose your money on each bet. Max Bets are 10 units or 10% of available units, whichever is larger. Currently, Matt has bowed out and Brad, Mike and David are playing for a one night poker entry fee. Matt is still eligible to play if he so chooses. Also, how would everyone feel if I invited Greg in on this?

Anyway, let's take a look at the bets for last week and results...winning bets are in bold.

Greg - No Bets

Mike - $100 at beginning of the week.

LOSS - $5 on Kansas City (+3)
LOSS - $5 on St. Louis (-1)
WON - $5 on MN/Atl Under 35.5
WON - $5 on San Diego (-6)

Mike finishes the week with $100. No change.

David - $100 at beginning of the week

WON - $8 on Pittsburgh (-4.5)
LOSS - $8 on St. Louis (-1)
WON - $4 on Detroit (+2.5)
WON - $4 on San Diego (-6)

Dave ends Sunday with $108. David has two remaining Monday bets:
