"The Underdog Theorem: How to Bet on the NFL and Win While Outperforming Wall Street" teaches fans how to predict events of every NFL season.

New York, NY (PRWEB) July 9, 2008 -- In his new book author Eddie Getz explains the NFL betting strategy that has defeated Wall Street's major indexes over the past 15 years. "The Underdog Theorem: How to Bet on the NFL and Win While Outperforming Wall Street" is written for the sports gambler and non-sports gambler alike. It presents a new idea, demonstrates its success, and aims to change the way fans view each NFL season.

"The Underdog Theorem is an idea that has been overlooked by every sports fan," says Getz. "Yet readers will see that it seems slightly obvious in hindsight."

I love MySpace for meeting people -- NFL fans, sports bettors, Tila Tequila, but the blogging has been kind of rough.  I've moved over to WordPress and it's been a much easier site to use.  Hopefully you'll stop in at my fancy new address:  http://underdogtheorem.wordpress.com

I'll still put updates on this blog and try to keep the two in sync.  Look forward to hearing from you and bets of luck this year!  Eddie

Congratulations to the Giants, who helped show that no team will go undefeated in the NFL for a very long time, if ever again.  What an incredible season.  It was the best of my life.  As far as the Theorem goes... on their way to losing their first game of the 2007 campaign, the Patriots lost against the spread 8 out of their last 9 games.  Imagine if there were a book out there, perhaps it would be called something catchy, like The Underdog Theorem, that told you, among other things, to bet against the undefeated team and outperform Wall Street?  Is that something you might be interested in?  If so, check it out in the offseason and get ready for another great year!

This entry was written after the amazing outcome of Week 17, when the New England Patriots became the first team to finish a season 16-0.  I am still completely blown away by this.  I’ll post more later, but below is the play for Week 17, I didn’t post it before the game, but every reader of The Underdog Theorem knew what to do.  Another incredible year and we’re still going!  Shout out to the four goofballs livin large in Vegas.  Told ya so.  Congratualtions to everyone who had a great year.

Early birds could have had the Jets getting 27 points.  My boys averaged about 23.5 on this, but it worked out, now it's down to 21.  Phins aren't getting respect at home, but they are getting points!  3 for them, down from 3.5 earlier in the week.  Bets of luck all.

Not much new last week - the Patriots looked incredibly strong, while the Dolphins looked incredibly weak.  This should help the Underdog Theorem down the home stretch as the lines adjust based on the perceptions that - the Patriots cannot be defeated and the Dolphins cannot win.  Right now that works out to us getting 27 points in Week 15, but check back just before game time!

The season continues, but we've reached a checkpoint.  As explained in The Underdog Theorem, a checkpoint is a time when no bankroll is outstanding, making it easy to tally the percent return for that season. 

The Dow Jones Industrial Average is having a tough time right now, but the Underdog Theorem is not.  So far this season, UTG has 88% return, UTV has 23% return.  This is the 'While Outperforming Wall Street' piece.  But let's only celebrate briefly.  One really good and one really bad team are stubbornly holding on.  We could still suffer some hits to the bankroll.  If you'd like to cash out now, that's your call, we'll continue to post the results here.  Great work everyone!

Now this is a crazy week.  The Patriots are still giving record high spreads, while the winless Dolphins are FAVORED in their game.  They are high risk this week, which is explained in the book.  Only one play as a result.
