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.

The Anatomy of a Handicapped Game:#Stanford-#Wash:PartI

Stanford plays at Washington this Thursday, Sept. 27th. Here is my step-by-step approach in handicapping this important Pac10 contest(of course, any game I handicap is an important game).
I completed the ratings on each of these teams during the summer. My job now is to adjust those ratings to reflect what has happened to each team to date.
What I did tonight was check the injury status of each team's roster. What I found: Stanford has almost no issues on the injury front. Washington has lost wr Johnson, who caught 28 passes in '11, and rb Jesse Collier. Collier's loss is significant because the Huskies had already lost their 1500 yard-rusher from '11, Chris Polk, and have now lost their #2 rb as well. I haven't adjusted ratings yet, but, my feel is these injuries will lower Washington's ratings slightly.
I've mentioned on many occasions, I have hand-written stats I log for each game played( I have notebooks I've saved that go back 30+years). I have updated the stats for both the Cardinal and Huskie games, respectively. Without making any final judgements, it's obvious from the stats I've entered into my Temple, 200 page notebook , Stanford has been the more impressive team to date.
It's extremely early in the season, so my job now is to update the ratings, based on the information I've just gathered, and try not to be overly influenced by anything that's happened.
I'll be back during the week to update you on the anatomy of a handicapped game. In this case, the contest between Stanford-Washington.
