Thanks weasel. Do you know what the average sample size of the consensus is?

how you doin`,bud?

it`s just one site....begins with a "w" and ends with a "line".......

i only put it up so some of the newer guys can have some frame of reference as to what some of the public might be thinking .....

by no means a complete picture.....the sample sizes vary by game...the sides being more heavily played...some of the sides were roughly around 1000 players.....the totals a bit less...

many of these games are fairly close,consensus site wise....this one at least....i think our board,as well as some others i peruse,kind of confirm that there`s a pretty good split on most games....maybe,with the exception of minny/oregon.....seems like minny is the more public choice....

g.l.

thanks man. Anything over a few hundred is great...some of the sites Ive seen have like 20 or 30, so all it takes is a few kooks to have a dramatic affect on %s.

Gardenweasel, what is the url of this site you got the consensus from. Whats this deal, it begins with this and ends with this. Are there rules here about not naming url's or what?

Yes, the rule is no links. Its a pain in the ass, but the problem is shills will flood a forum with their own links and praise. And if you allow one link, then the next guy complains if his tout link isnt allowed. Hence the policy.
