yup [QUOTE=MobileBandit;11121]The Max started slow this year but is 49-30 over the last 8 weeks.[/QUOTE]
Yup, the early week writeups in the Max have had an unproductive stretch from mid-October of '07 to early October of '09. Not sure why. A lot of games come up pretty popular and have the value sucked out of them, though not a ton of games falling in the middle. I have particular admiration for the work done by Matty Baiungo, Dave Fobare, and Erik Scheponik and the amount of valuable information they put into their late week reports, which is probably why the re-subscribe rate is sky-high despite last year's poor performance.
Max is in its 10th year and has done some good work in the past, but the two year time frame above was not impressive.
