Hell of a Ride

Week 17
Dave: 10-5 = Up $100
Mark: no picks
Sports Guy: 9-7 = Up $40
Sports Gal: 7-9 = Down $40

On the Season
Dave: 129-126 = Up $60
Mark: 90-103 = Down $260
Sports Guy: 128-121-7 = Up $140
Sports Gal: 129-120-7 = Up $180

Of course, all this figures are for $20 bets at an imaginary Sportsbook where they don't take a commission. If we were actually in Vegas, and they took the standard (-110) on all winners, (you would only make back $18.18 per $20 bet) here's what would have happenned in real life, betting 20 bucks on every NFL game this year:

Dave = Down $175
Mark = Down $424
Sports Guy = Down $93
Sports Gal = Down $45

The moral of the story: Don't quit your day job.
