Is it just me or does it seem that every free pick I've seen on the home page over the last two or three weeks has been wrong? I never play them, unless I've already decided on a play, but it seems odd that every time I check it out they always seems to be on the wrong side.
Must just be you, BTH. Remember, 'every' is an awfully big word. I don't have the October records quite yet, and it's possible over any short 2-3 day stretch that the front page picks hit a bad run. Also have to remember that we will publish picks on both sides of a game, so the overall records will tend to gravitate a bit more towards .500 because of that.
But looking at September numbers, the baseball cappers were down a half-unit with a 91-81-4 record, the NFL cappers were up just a hair with a 43-39-10 mark and the college footballers were up about two units with a 60-53 record. A few guys were on good runs then, like Brian Gabrielle was 5-0 in NCAAF, Ben Burns was 3-0 on the NFL slate, and Al McMordie closed his MLB season strong with a 17-8 run in September. Others were on bad stretches. In other words, not much different than anyone else.
I only bet football and college basketball, so I guess I should have clarified. By the way, two different cappers last night on the Monday Night NFL over.
