Tony’s going to have to go back into hiding pretty soon if things keep going like this. He dropped all four of his bets in week five, depleting his bankroll to dangerous levels.
Andy hit just two of four, but his sizable bet on New England and Tom Brady’s return set him up with a nice, healthy positive for the week.
He’s hovering around the .500 mark in picks and has stayed close to even with his bankroll all season.
Well, as is his custom, Tony has swung wildly and, in this case, missed. He went 1-3, but missed his two biggest bets, leaving him way down for the week. After a good week followed by a bad week, Andy broke even in week three.
Even is boring. Go big or go home … or go into hiding … again.
At a 3-0-1 clip for week one, Andy started this year’s “Bet the Mortgage” segment with a better week than he had all last season.
Tony didn’t fare quite as well, but he did take advantage of an outlier money line bet on the Giants to cash in with a positive week – he’s a mythical $305 closer to paying back the debt he owes the sharks from last season.
All in all, we added a combined roughly 10 percent to the pot in week one. Can we keep it going?
The bets last year were mostly brutal. I hit a couple good weeks at the end to make a small profit, but finished below .500 in actual bets. Tony … well, he’s still in hiding. He lost the entirety of his mythical bankroll and then another ¾ of that figure that he’d managed to find some mythical bank to stake.
He’s making contact with us when he feels it’s safe, and he plans to participate in the pool again this year.
Here are the rules: We each start with $10,000. We pick either against the spread or the over/under for three games each week and then finish with one upset against the money line. So here are the standings so far:
Andy
$10,000
Tony
$10,000
And here are our, for entertainment only, wagers on this week’s opening weekend. (more…)
