Ah, 2007. You have given us so much: Windows Vista, the Live Earth concerts, Daddy Day Camp. If it weren’t for sports betting, 2007, I would have sent you to the glue factory.

The NFL has been particularly kind. The Colts were an easy pick over the Bears at the Super Bowl, and this season, the Patriots, Cowboys and Packers have been sensational. The college bowl season had its usual underdogs – Boise State was especially satisfying after upsetting the Sooners with the Statue of Liberty. And fading the Chicago Cubs was yet again profitable: 9.81 units in the regular season, plus a quick 4.29 units in the playoffs.

This year’s runaway best bet, though, was the Kansas Jayhawks football team. They just kept winning – ten in a row ATS. Of course, they lost to Missouri and might get crushed by the Hokies at the Orange Bowl. But for over two months, the Jayhawks were our personal bank machines.
