Here is a comparison of CBS Sportsline and OWS:
| CBS | OWS | ||||
| Harmon | 129 | 126 | Rory | 136 | 107 |
| Prisco | 121 | 134 | Kevin | 128 | 100 |
| Judge | 138 | 117 | Mike | 120 | 123 |
| Madden | 129 | 126 | |||
| Richard | 142 | 113 | |||
| TOTAL | 659 | 616 | TOTAL | 384 | 330 |
| Win %age |
0.516863 | Win %age |
0.537815 |
Overall, we had the higher winning percentage; calculated as wins/wins+losses.
And if you look at our individual records they fit in with those over at CBS.
A couple notes; CBS always used lines that had no evenly rounded numbers. This takes away the dreaded 7 point and 3 point spread in favor of the much friendly 2.5 & 3.5 and 6.5. & 7.5. For this reason, they had zero pushes all season.
Any avid gambler would agree that the lines we used were more challenging.
