Round Two: Pac 10 Senior Quarterbacks

I am much less enthusiastic about the “Pac 10 Senior Quarterbacks” theory than I was in 2007, owing to Oregon’s lack of one, but I remain confident that it is a sound theory just the same. In 2007, betting $100 per game on senior Pac-10 QBs against the point spread no matter what, I turned $1,000 into $1,590 in three short months. And you can, too!! And past performance *is* a guaranteed lock on future returns!! (yes, inveterate gambler reader, I was penalizing myself the ‘vig’ in losses)
