Superbowl XLII Bets

Here are hypothetical bets that would have been placed on the Super Bowl. I've used alternative spreads in addition to the normal spread to add some extra betting opportunities. Also the weird bet amounts come from an algorithm I developed which is used to determine bet size based on predicted %, payout, and bankroll. Sometimes it even has you on both sides of a bet, hedging yourself. Very interesting... here they are: (also bet amounts are in terms of percentages of your bankroll)
