The New York Post held a college football handicapping for its columnists, reporters and contributors. Six of the eight would have lost money if they had bet a theoretical $10.00 on every one of their selections.The winner went 114-93 on the year, a 55% winning percentage. Second place went to a contestant who went 109 - 98, a 52.6 winning percentage. Everyone else had a percentage that would have lost money.
The Philadelphia Daily News ran a similar contest. All seven Daily news staffers had percentages that would have lost them money had they invested $10.00 on every one of their picks.
Even more telling, Vegas Vic, the professional handicapper on the Daily news staff, lost $400.00 for the college football season. His average investment per recommendation was $50.00.
In a college football handicapping contest in which I was involved, there were 30 contestants. Sixteen finished with percentages that would have lost those contestants money had they invested $10.00 on all of their contest picks.(In last year's contest, which required 14 picks per week - 7 college, 7 pros - my NFL partner and I finished 3rd with a 57%+. In this year's contest, I finished 6th with 55.4%).
My point is handicapping is not as easy as some of those goofy radio advertisements would have you believe.
This week I will unveil my annual Bowl Offer. I happen to be a working stiff who works seven days a week at his day job. I have a couple true passions in my life, and handicapping college football is one of them. I work my ass off and I haven't given up the dream of making it big in the profession. I know that if you sign up for my upcoming Bowl Offer, I will give you a great chance to make a profit for the bowl season(I hit about 56% last Bowl Season) and I believe you'll have fun doing so.
My price will be inexpensive, and like last year, if I don't hit a certain percentage for my recommendations, over 93% percent of the fee will be refunded. YO, I hope you'll consider it! Thanks.
