I did not know where to post this so I thought I would put it here (even though I know that you are not charging for your picks).
I just wanted to say that I visited your site and looks great.
Good luck with it!

Thanks Bing.
Nothing fancy, not trying to impress anyone. Just trying to get the word out. In time, the site will have a little of everything, but just like anything new, you have to experiment.
Before the bowl season kicks in, this site will be at NO LESS than 65% but should really be somewhere around 70%. We will take 7 out of 10 with hitting the TOP plays.
Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated.
I am thinking of downloading the opening public % so we are able to track them throughout the week as they move. Any thoughts ?? Thanks.
Good Luck,
Sunday

I think that is a great idea to track the opening public percentage but I slao think that you should laso put the pecentage of money on each side and track that as well. This sometimes differs greatly than just the percentages of people. You hmay have someone dump 50k on one side which could actually move a line a 1/2 point but the percentage of people is not going to move at all. Obviosly (in this case) there is someone who feels pretty strongly about a particular side and, quite often, there is a good reason.
Another thought is what I saw a guy do at another site. I have copied below
THERE ARE 35,508 BET AT OASIS...PINACLE...WWTS....5DIMES...CRIS....GRANDE. ....AND HOLLYWOOD

These were posted only 2 minutes apart and you can see that the under got a huge hit. I saw that and immediately played the under and I also played Denver because (more often than not) the public is wrong when it comes to the NFL.
Hope I have not rambled on to much.
