Bowl Experiment - Final Numbers

I began an experiment in mid December. I was curious as to what would happen if you bet the money line underdog on every college bowl game this year.

So, I decided to bet ten bucks per game and see what happens. I was able to turn a small profit of $36, even including a lousy start and finish.

Below are the lines on all the bowl games that have been played and the final results.

Thanks for following along.
