Announcing: Contrarianville

I'd write more, but well, it's 5:30 AM and Moneyline already covered everything here. Anyway, go sign up.

Guess All of My Action Will Stay Offshore

via Deadspin

I actually intended on checking out the books at Delaware Park this fall. I still might go down if they have stupid lines that can be exploited, but I have a high enough standard deviation on wagers. I don't need to square it by playing parlays.

Must Read for Football Geeks

I've previously mentioned my e-mancrush on Chris from Smart Football. He put up two articles today that are must reads for anyone interested in the state of modern offensive football. The first deals with how the read option is evolving at the college level and the second describes how the Wildcat might be implemented across the NFL this year.

Spread-to-Moneyline Converter

This is the best link I can find. Does anyone have anything better?

I know about the SBR converter, but it is seriously flawed. I'd rather intelligently extrapolate on my own after 13 than use it.

New Link

For those of you not at RMMB, here is a link to a site that gathers objective predictions for the day. I have no idea if it is useful or not. If you muck around, you will clearly see that straight betting one system or another is not profitable, but I'll be interested to watch the measures and see how they fare for contrarian sides.

The site will be permanently linked along the side bar.
