2023 Mutual Fund

Here's how the Mutual Fund works: Invest 1 or 2 shares in the Fund at $50.00 per share( maximum of 2 shares per person). I'm able to invest up to 22 shares, but, my total shares contribution will be determined by how many people sign up. Yes, I will put my money where my mouth is! I do the handicapping work. I make the picks. I determine what units will be invested in each pick. Unit plays will fall into 4 possibilities: 1-unit; 1/2-unit; 1/4-unit and 1/5-unit. (A 1-unit play represents my strongest play). The most you can lose is the value of your share(s). Either 50.00 or 100.00. You cannot lose more. How much can you win? I make no guarantees, but, I'll work my ass off to have a successful year. If I'm blessed to have a good year, I will deduct 20% of each share's profits as payment for my work. My goal is to have picks announced prior to the start of games, but, that is not a guarantee. Sometimes I'm handicapping games right up until the start times. The picks will be given out within minutes of the game(s) starting, with the lines and units on each play. My goal is to start the Mutual Fund on September 28th, but, i reserve the option of starting it one week later. The Mutual Fund ends with the Army vs.Navy game, the unofficial end of the regular season. Payment shares will come soon after. Mutual Fund status will be updated every Tuesday of the regular season, once the fund officially starts. It should be a lot of fun and I tried to make the risk very small. If you sign up, I hope you enjoy it. Email me at sam@college-edge.com if you have any questions. You can make payment right here, at this site via PayPal or call 267-918-1064 if you'd like to arrange another mode of payment or, if you have any questions.

A fan's, handicapper's, and gambler's musings on the college football season(and other stuff)...Temple

I went to Temple, so I think it's appropriate that my opening salvo for this college football season starts with the Temple Owls.
I never thought I'd even consider what I'm about to write, but, with an experienced offensive line, a very good running game( Heisman candidate Bernard Pierce?), a d-Line that returns 20 sacks, an experienced linebacking corps, and, most importantly, a tremendous head coach in Al Golden, I'm about to predict that if Temple can play Penn St. tough on Sept. 25th, the Owls will have a good chance of being ranked in the top 25 this year. Of course, this is all predicated on the Owls kicking Villanova's butt on Sept. 3rd.
Here's a question for the gamblers out there: Do you bet on a team you have an emotional interest in? In past years, I've refused to bet for, or, against teams I had too strong an emotion for. I can tell you right now, I'm so pumped up over Temple beating Villanova, I don't think there is any way I can keep my emotions in check, and, staying as dispassionate as possible, to me, is one of the keys in handicapping and gambling.
So, my question to those who have read my opening blog: do you believe it's a good or bad idea to wager on teams in which you have a rooting, emotional interest?
