The Sportstradamus: Final 2012 Record

Category: Game Picks Leave a Comment

I’ve been traveling a lot lately, so I never got to updating my record after a solid Week 17. I went 13-3 straight up, 13-3 against the spread, and 8-8 on totals. My final 2012 record was 171-84-1 straight up, 135-114-7 against the spread, and 136-117-3 on totals. It’s my third consecutive winning year. My records from 2010 and 2011 are below:

2011

  • 175-81 straight up (68.4 percent)
  • 132-113-11 against the spread (53.9 percent)
  • 139-111-6 on totals (55.6 percent)

2010

  • 164-92 record on straight up picks (64.1 percent)
  • 138-110-8 against the spread (55.6 percent)
  • 127-121-8 on over/under (51.2 percent)

Overall record since 2010

  • 510-257-1 straight up (66.5 percent)
  • 405-337-26 against the spread (54.6 percent)
  • 402-349-17 on totals (53.5 percent)

If you put $1,100 on each game I picked against the spread (and totals) since 2010, you would have made $52,400.
