Reviewing my publicly released Super Bowl bets

In a radio interview last week, I gave out six plays on the Super Bowl. Here's how they fared:

Patriots minus the points. LOSS.

The under in the game. WIN.

At least one team to score three consecutive times. WIN.

Neither team to win by exactly 3 points. WIN.

Brady to throw an interception. WIN.

Welker's first reception under 8.5 yards. LOSS.

Overall (using readily available lines):

If betting to win 1 unit on each play: Win 1.8 units; ROI = 16 percent.

If risking 1 unit flat on each play: Win 0.4 units; ROI = 6.7 percent.
