Bookies battle the pointspread! Week 9

[BAGIANT]

Unfortunately, while traveling between here and Florida, I dropped my notes that I had on how the Bookies were doing when picking unanimously and those games that were picked at a 4-1 ratio. I remember the 5-0's were terrible and the 4-1's were strong. I'll have to gather that data together, unless I can pick it up from previous posts which I think I can. This week it looks like the standings are up to date except for the usual MNF results.
Looks like the Bookies are all bunched up again, and it's anyones contest. Only 3 wins seperate the top from the bottom with 1 bookie at 65, three at 64, and one at 62. Actually there are 4 at 62, but I'm taking the one with the best record last week. I'm knocking out two former top 5 and replacing them with a newcomer to the top 5.
Robert Jaynes from the new Eastside Cannery leads the pack with a record of65-51. Stever Harvey, Edgewater, and Josh Pool, Fiesta Rancho and Thomas O'Brien, Sunset Station, are tied for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th with a 64-52 record. In 5th place is Tony Miller from the Golden Nugget, and he's 62-54. So it looks like all the top bookies are from locals places and one from Laughlin.
Looks like there aren't any line differences with more than a half point, except for the Giants who are 7.5 and the line is now 9 at most places. Soooo! Let's get started!
ROBERT JAYNES E.S. CANNERY LW 8-6 YTD 65-51
..MIN..CIN..KC...BAL..NYJ..STL..DET..TEN..DEN..OAK..DAL..SEA..NE...PIT
STEVE HARVEY EDGEWATER LW 7-7 YTD 64-52
..MIN..CIN..KC...CLE..NYJ..STL..DET..TEN..DEN..OAK..DAL..SEA..NE...PIT
JOSH POOL FIESTA RANCHO LW 7-7 YTD 64-52
..HOU..CIN..KC...CLE..NYJ..STL..DET...GB...DEN..OAK..NYG..PHI..IND..WAS
THOMAS O'BRIEN SUNSET STATION LW 7-7 YTD 64-52
..HOU..CIN..TB..CLE..NYJ..STL..DET...GB....MIA..OAK..DAL..PHI...NE...WAS
TONY MILLER GOLD. NUGGET LW 8-6 YTD 62-54
..MIN..JAC..TB..CLE..NYJ..ARI...DET...GB....DEN..OAK..DAL..PHI...NE...PIT
CONSENSUS ALL HOTELS LW 8-6 YTD 52-64
..MIN..CIN..TB..CLE..NYJ..STL..DET...GB....DEN..OAK..DAL..PHI...IND..PIT
...30...33....34..33....35...33....37.....39....36....35....32....34....30....38
The above number under the consensus is the amount of times that team was selected out of 55 bookies. Again, the number of bookies is reduced by those that take the "consensus' picks two weeks in a row. They then get eliminated.
There are 3 teams that the Bookies picked unanimously, and they are NYJ, DET,and OAK. They haven't been doing that well this year. But the teams that are selected 4-1, which have been doing well, are CIN, CLE, DEN, DAL, and NE.
There are only 2 teams that are opposite this week, and they are KC and NE.
So that wraps it up for this week and I hope this brings you many winners.

SIV, where you say they differ versus the consensus, is that the public? Where does that come from?

Hey Stuckinvegas what do you mean by this statement? "Again, the number of bookies is reduced by those that take the "consensus' picks two weeks in a row. They then get eliminated. "

Does this mean bookies are being dropped from the contest? Am confused.


Thanks for the plays every week

cd don't feel bad. I have followed VBB every week for 5-6 years and posted them here, more weeks than not, and I read that section 3 times and I still don't get it. It might be a nuance, I've missed. I'm sure siv will 'splain.

soooo what are the best plays????

As strange as it may seem, the unanimous selections by have gone 3-13 ATS YTD. The opposite picks from the top Bookies vs. the Consensus are 18-12 ATS, all based on final closing lines.
