Week 4 Record: 17-17
Thumbs down. Can’t blame the hooks this week.
17-17 is not good. I am aware of that. The week just felt way worse than 17-17. The Xavier and Southern Cal losses are probably a major part of why this week felt so shitty. Blowout losses on Best Bets make me feel like such a moron. I know some of you only take the Best Bet, or add an additional unit, so those really hit hard when we whiff. The Creighton loss on Saturday just piled onto it. We snagged a great number overnight only to find out Kalkbrenner was ruled out minutes before tip. We still got in position to cover at the end and then Notre Dame hit a meaningless buzzer beater at the horn to hand us an L. If that shot had missed, we are 4-2 on Best Bets and 18-16 on the week. The margins are small in this business.
We are sitting at 52% for the year. Well below my average of 55% since we started the account in 2020. Time to get right. I took Sunday off for a refresher & today’s slate is bringing nothing to the table in regards to value in my opinion. Going to punt today as well.
Tuesday will be a big day. We ride again.
