The results using The Quick and Dirty NFL Football Handicapping Method for the 2015 season showed a flat bet profit over five percent. Although this may seem low to many people, this was for a method that was simple and completely mechanical. No subjective analysis was involved. As I have stated in my book, this is a strong foundation to build upon. For example, the San Francisco 49ers were clearly a poor betting proposition regardless of who they were playing. There were five bets on the 49ers using my system and only one of the five games was a winning wager.
Good Luck in 2016!
