OK, so I got back on track this week.  Not a huge week, but a winner.  I finished 27-23 for 54%, bringing me up to 52.94% overall.  That translates into a 1.07% net ROI.  Not great, but a winner so far.

One interesting stat I decided to track because it sticks out like a sore thumb:  I am way, way, way better with the automatic BCS conferences than the others.  BCS conferences, I am 78-50 for 60.94%.  The other conferences, I’m 39-54 for a whopping 41.94%.  So, to date, I’m good with the NFL and I’m good with major conference college football, but bad with small conferences.  Coincidence?  System?  I vote system so far.  Check this out:

ACC: 58.33%

Big 12:  65.00%

Big East: 63.6%

Big Ten:  65.22%

PAC 10: 50.00%

SEC: 64.29%

All but PAC 10 are very profitable.  The PAC 10 is 11-11.  12-10 would be 54.54%, so very close to nicely profitable.

Conf. USA: 40.91%

MAC:  46.15%

Mountain West: 40.00%

Sun Belt: 53.33%

WAC:  26.67%

Only the Sun Belt is slightly profitable, and the others are brutal.

Individually, the stats per conference are not meaningful because there are so few games in each.  However, the sum of the parts I think means at least a little bit, right?  Quite a coincidence the split works so nicely if it is a coincidence.  We’ll see.
