How accurate is this system?

[geeze]

Does the larger predicted margin of victory (such as Dodgers by 3 ) show a higher percentage of accuracy than the lower predicted margin of victory? (such as Twins by .5)

If you took Dunkel at face value, at the end of a year you would be 51-55 % accurate...Dunkel at face value is not a money maker, Dunkel at face value on Dogs may bring you a bit more...It's how does Dunkel ratings relate to the present lines, is what is important....The 3 wise men use a "K" factor to determine that...stay on top of the 3 wise men plays and you'll do all right...the Kapt

Yes I find it much easier to just follow the 3 Wisemen
