Week 14 Recap: The final week proved to be difficult for most, but Buzzforlife and SPRITE6 were able to finish above 0.500 with 6-4 records. SPRITE6 ran away with this contest in the weeks following his cruise, opening up a 1 length lead to 7 lengths over 2nd place finisher stech81, who closed consistently after stumbling out of the gate early in the season. Finishing a close 3rd to stech81 was BornAJacket and behind him was a three way dead heat between myself, Buzzforlife, and RyanS12. For the final week, I also computed return on investment assuming a 10% vig which is the typical take for most spread wagers at most books. This is where SPRITE6's performance really stands out as there is a big difference in ROI between hitting at a 53% and 58% rate. This was all good fun and hope we can do it again next year!
