It's actually about an even split. The public was right on 28 games this week out of 58. It just seems more lopsided because they were wrong on some of the biggest games of week 11.

I mean I guess but most of those games are ones nobody cares about. Maybe only 3 or 4 that were bet by the public over 70% were games that got widespread attention.

Throw out the Wednesday and Thursday games because those were the only games available that day for betting and you got games like Navy and Tulsa, Rice and Coll of Charleston, Old Dominion and Southern Miss. Hardly games that are going to get a lot of action outside of their home states.

I'm not real sure the public getting destroyed in games like that really provides any valuable info. My $.02

Also mike you don't throw out wed. Or Thursday. Games, they r part of the rotation, been coming to the sight for yrs., stop worrying about new guys that come, on they r fleeting like everything in life, and concentrate on the guys that have been here, with the knowledge wisdom

I'm not worrying about anything, I am just letting you know what I see. And it's not what you are seeing. Like I mentioned, public right and public wrong was basically a wash and the games you are talking about that are at 70% or better were mainly games that are in small markets that do not get a lot of action. A game between Clemson and Alabama that is on ESPN that gets 70% on a side is very very different from a game between Rice and College of Charleston that is on the radio.

That is what I am saying, you are comparing apples to oranges and I am saying you can't just say the public got crushed because many of the games that were over 70% were games that are not in big markets, not televised outside the region and got most of the action from locals and the kids who probably go to school there.

The public bets what they can watch and they bet stuff that is in big markets. Any game on Fox, ESPN, Big10 Network, SEC Network, NBC are the games that are bet in high volumes. Games that are in Philly, New York, Texas, The Midwest are games that get bet at high volumes. As such a game in Philly that the public is betting at 75% is not the same as a game down in Utah somewhere that the public bet 75%.

That is what I am saying. You can't lump all this stuff into the same bag because they are not the same.

In the NFL I will agree, public betting as well as favorites did poorly. In college though, I still disagree with you both. 😛

May b I wasn,t clear, late in the ncaa season you have games every night almost, coupled with the pro games, sun night, mon night, Thursday night, etc. and starting back with the oak/ den game they r getting there ass handed to them, they got lucky with giants win against Cincinnati, I am talking one moves included sharp moves, they have lost, prime eg. Last night, cm, and big winners, public was loaded on the opposite side, as I said go to scores and odds, on any given day, there is a coll. Or pro, single, game or 2 games, the general public r not winning those games for the last few weeks

Why would I got to scores and odds dude when I have everything I need right here? The new scoreboard will tell you quickly what the public closed at and if it was a win or a loss with a green thumbs up or a red thumbs down.

I'm over last week though, I'm onto this week.
