As of the first two picks of Round 20, jman is losing at a rate of 0.5% (assuming he bet equal amounts on each of his 113 picks). That compares very favorably with a dart throwing show (or win or place) bettor, who would be losing at a rate of 16%+. Jman would be down a mere $55 if he'd bet $100 on every pick he has made. With any sort of rebate or promotion, he would be solidly ahead.
