Alright, the regular season has come to an end, and for the second straight season, the control room parlay did not hit. HOWEVER, there were some successes on an individual city basis.
Chicago won its four-leg parlay in week 13. Doug’s pick wasn’t in the original blog that week but he did submit it via slack in time so we will count it.
New York won its four-leg parlay THIS WEEK (Whoop whoop!), week six, and week three!
If you bet 10 bucks on the New York version of the Control Room Parlay every week, then you would have been up 161.20 bucks for the year. Can’t objectively calculate overall win/loss for the season because I wasn’t able to calculate week 13 odds with a late pick. Based on the naked eye, it would have been very close to profitable. But regardless, it was a fun ride.
In terms of the best Control Room Parlay overall record, we as a group finished 72-50-5 for a 58.66 winning percentage. It is an odd number of games because Doug was not part of the Control Room in week one.
Here are the control room members ranked by winning percentage:
| Rank | Person | Record | Notes |
| 1. | Doug | 9-5-1 (63.33#) | Won five straight from week three to week seven. |
| T2. | Andrew | 10-6 (62.50%) | Won five straight from week two to week six. |
| Sam | 10-6 (62.50%) | Lost three of his first four picks but ended the season winning six straight games. | |
| Stanko | 10-6 (62.50%) | Won three straight twice. Lost four of five between weeks eight and 12. | |
| T5 | Stephanie | 8-5-3 (59.38%) | Most pushes amongst the group. Only back-to-back losses came in last two parlay attempts. |
| Steve | 9-6-1 (59.38%) | For a Patriot hater, he had Patriots in six of his picks and he went 5-1 in those selections. | |
| 7. | Jason | 9-7 (56.25%) | Won first three weeks of the season. Lost four of five between weeks eight and 12. |
| 8. | Stefan | 7-9 (42.75%) | Had most straight moneyline picks. |
