I have been watching this for a little time now...
FWIW I use espn "the streak" as a tool when I can't find anything on the card that I like.
What I have noticed is when the percentage is WAY lopsided it seems to have better results.
Meaning 95% vote for one thing leaves the 5% as a better pick than
when say 70% vote for one thing leaving 30% as the pick.
also... when the number that is greater is on an underdog (RARE) it doesn"t have quite as good an outcome (public likes faves) so if their on a dog, bet the fave.
In addition, (I haven't backtracked the numbers) but it seems like the weekend has had some good results so maybe be wary if its fri thru sun...
if anyone has noticed and has any input, why are some games even an option. Meaning not all of the games are on ESPN's families of channels, and are sometimes some obscure matchups. those seem to be just as good if not better than the "big game of the night"
It makes me think that whoever is picking the games has some sharp info or something. Imagine vegas calling in to espn and telling them the games that are most likely to upset... now imagine the opposite, some ding dong hops on espn and sees that his local college team is a 80 percent fave and decides to bet the game along with the public... uh oh spaghetti ohs
Glad to see this thread
Glad to see results
Good luck to everyone
Lets figure it out

)1-1 to start the day. I hit the providence over with a bigger play due to the percentages.
Late
Iowa st/okla st over big
Oregon/wash st under
Also going to play west virginia for the reason that 91 percent thinks that notre dame's mcalarney and ayers will combine fore more 3's than west va's margin if victory.
Good luck
