Going to give the old contrarian angle a play for a while and see where it takes me. For those who don't know, basically you are picking against the public; if a large percentage of pickers likes team A in a game, then i bet on team B. I'm going to use two sources, Espn's contest where you pick games against spread, and the site that has wager in its name. (pretty sure i can't post it here). I am going to bet 1 unit each on the 3 least picked teams at both sites, betting 1.5 units on the least picked team.
Last week went 2-1, + 1.75 units, winning for the third week in a row. (3 for 3, as i started week 3) Got lucky on the bears, as the packers pretty much gave the game away, but unlucky on the jets, who gave the game away themselves, so i guess it all evens out.
Week 6 Games:
ESPN- Atlanta 15.9%, Jets 23.4%, Miami 24.3%
Wager****- Atlanta 25%, Jets 30.9%, Kansas City 31%
This weeks bets.....
For the 4th week in a row the atlanta falcons are the least picked team; The public really hates this team, but they have covered 2 of last 3.
Atlanta +3.5 3 units
NY jets +4 2 units
K. City +3 1 unit
Miami +4 1 unit
