Any CKO out there... Thanks Bigchub.
Great to see you here Buzz Kill. You and Cpaw have won me so much money over the years with the info you post. Just want to say thanks.
Thanks guys! I have an interesting post from across the street on how one person uses the newsletter information:
The way that I use the newsletters is to create a spreadsheet and track the performance of each newsletter for every team and conference. I usually ignore whether or not they are recommended plays, but look to see if they have a good record either picking for or against that team. That gives me an idea of how tuned in they are to a team or conference. For example, Gold Sheet hasn't missed on their picks for SD St, EMU, UVA and Utah this season. This is good information for me to use and complement my own handicapping.

CPAW: I just banned Bob at the other thread cause he was making Victor look bad! But since you are a good guy, we can still post Bob's picks here.

Less is more! My one bet this week is a big bet on the Panthers/Bears OVER (the number is currently 41), the top rated pick this week in Victor King's Totals Tipsheet.
I have been suggesting a betting strategy of large percentage (30% for me) of the bankroll bets on one game a week, and that is Victor's top newsletter pick. That pick won last week with the Niners/Redskins OVER. Victor is 5-1 on these 3 star picks so far this year which is 83%.
From Mendoza Line Tracking:
Victor Kings's Totals Tipsheet (3-0 overall this week)
3* (5-1) (these were 13-5 last season)
2* (6-5-1)
CFBall2014 gives us some tracking. Thanks CFBall2014!
Pretty decent week for the newsletters I follow other than Playbook & Gold sheet who combined for a 1-7 record..
$** pick results are weighted by star rating as most newsletter do this.. For VSIN and Inside the Press box 1 unit per play is used

Mendoza Line cumulative year to date record, through October 22:
Not every newsletter gets posted every week, and I'll try to note when the record doesn't include every week of the season.
Another note is that the grading is based on the line indicated in the newsletter at the time of publication, not the closing line. Many of these newsletters will claim a win against the best available line as it moves throughout the week, but these records reflect the outcome against the line they were willing to make a play on in their newsletter.
I put some of the extreme hot and cold plays in bold this week.
