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.

HOW MANY GAMES DO YOU BET ON IN A WEEKEND?

I heard a radio handicapping show on the weekend. The host expressed a common held belief that the more games you bet the more advantage you are giving the house. His advice was to pick a game and load up on it.
When you play Blackjack, the house has a built-in advantage, unless you've learned to count, and can turn the house edge to your favor. Unless you can count cards, the house has a mathematical advantage. The same advantage belongs to the house in craps, roulette, etc. The bottom line is the house has an advantage, and it's mathematical. Period!
The house does not have the same, no question, mathematical certainty of an advantage in college football picks. If a certain individual, through hard work and research, has proven over a 30-year period that he can pick against the spread at a 55-60% ratio, it is my belief that that person has a 55-60% chance of winning each play he makes, whether it is one play, or twenty.
As a result, I give out as many plays as I like in a college football weekend, because, quite simply, I believe each one of those picks has between a 55-60% chance of winning. In my opinion, if I can maintain my discipline, I have the statistical advantage on the house.
What do you think?
