I don't think I will endorse any outside handicappers going forward

All these 54 and 55% cappers who are selling their picks are HIDING?

I dont think that anybody on this forums endorsement of RAS as a service is the reason why the service has become so popular. (Actually thats an understatement) I also think that its great that nobody wants to share any "sharp" information on these message boards. I've learned that being "sharp" just means having the [B]time[/B] and work ethic to find information. There are a bunch of these boards and there is always gonna be someone willing to share information.

The problem is that there is always someone willing to share BAD information, too.

If you originate enough of your own totals at Greek, Spiros will let you bet 1k on RAS no problem.

I havent been around enough to really know. Im still green I guess, but this is what I think is happening. To many people who take this seriously have gotten lazy over the last couple years, and why wouldn't they. CBB, RAS in general are probably a bigger percentage of most "cappers" annual winnings then anyone wants to admit. There are 340 college basketball teams, I might be fairly new to this but there are TONS of opportunities in the course of a season when your dealing with this many teams in 1 sport. You cant just plug in a couple numbers off of the kenpom screen and get a winner anymore but if you put a little work into it you can pick up some cash this time of year. Can you blame the books for playing a little defense against the non originators (me included). I don't. If I was on there side I would probably do the same thing. I think now you might see an increase on the forums or from touts in guys putting in the work, because they have to. This might be the start of a great ERA in 54% forum cappers, touts.

Or maybe betting them... [QUOTE=sean1;39288]All these 54 and 55% cappers who are selling their picks are HIDING?[/QUOTE] Love the attempt though. A creative way to wager going forward... if the taker is under 54%, a great bet for you. If the taker is over 54%, an even greater bet for you! +EV either way for you, now that's the way to do it! Please allow me in on any takers that you get!

It really is AMAZING how 'lifetime winners' ARE GETTING THEIR ASS KICKED RAS.......Off two stellar years, out the gate a bit slow, kicks it into gear, and then UHOH slump slump slump Dr. Bob.....what is he, 4-13 this week on plays and opinions? Dan Gordon. He's finished. No line value, nothing creative. Just a bunch of coin flips. Ditto for some other guys.......

I don't know if it means much (probably not) but I did a quick review of RAS losses from Jan/Feb 2010 with the RAS losses from Jan/Feb 2011 and his losses are losing by average of 2 points per game more this year. If anything it prolly just means that he is less likely to be "in" as many games at the end with a chance to win. No doubt Edward is not catching his fair share of close ones but it also seems a higher number of his plays are not even close when compared to years past.

The market has changed......... The low lying fruit is gone.
