lem used to appear on jack ruebens radio show all the time in the 90's , and was not shy about letting you know who he liked, and i (and jack) kept track---he did well. not being a follower was a costly decision. he has been in print on numerous occasions for full seasons with winning records. but if you don't believe any of that, no problem. lem used to talk about his handicapping ( of football anyway) and it was no great "system". he made a handicap from power ratings, made adjustments for other factors (he delineated a lot in his book) AND THEN HE WENT TO WORK. i can still hear him saying to jack--"what you save is what you earn" . it is/was always apparent in his discussions and writings that value and shopping were/are imperative. in his book, he even counseled looking for other sports bettors (of size) to make man to man , no juice bets (he admiited that as he became famous, it was tough for him to do this). he knew that outs and lines could make a winner a lot easier than a good handicap. THAT'S HOW YOU KNOW HE"S GOOD---he was doing that decades ago. the rules changes and styles don't mean that much in his method.
