RAS X-Bet at Matchbook

RAS X-Bet at Matchbook A wagering market on the following is now being offered at Matchbook under X-bets (scroll all the way to the bottom). RAS College Basketball SIDES Service Over/Under 10.0 Net Units Won Rules: Plays will be rated 1.0, 1.5, or 2.0 UNITS. Only the first 15 2.0 UNIT plays and first 30 1.5 UNIT plays will be graded at full value. Any additional 1.5 UNIT or 2.0 UNIT plays will be graded at 1.0 UNIT for purposes of this wager. All plays will be graded at -110 with a consensus line at time of release for each play. (Example, a 1.0 UNIT play would be +1.00 for a win or -1.10 for a loss) All plays with release line will appear on the www.handicapper.net pick-archive page no later than 10 minutes after the start of each game. Number of plays is not to exceed 200. Ties are not to be included. If the service releases more than 200 plays, only the first 200 plays will be counted when grading this wager. RAS may include CBB totals plays with the sides service. CBB total plays will NOT count for or against the unit total or play total for this wager. Accuracy and fairness to be confirmed by Fezzik of LVA Sports. Edward

Fascinating prop. But I'm not sure having a friend of yours sit in judgement on it will work. It won't bother me--I won't be betting it, and I basically would trust Fezzik, and disputes won't really arise unless the bet falls within a few units of 10--but I can see how others will challenge this. I haven't heard of MB offering props that would have such difficulty of independent verification. I mean: "consensus line?" Define.

All of the plays are automatically posted on our website no later than 10 minutes after the start of every game so the only thing up for dispute is the availablility of lines at release, but we have always used a very conservative "majority" line at time of release. If you'd like to suggest someone in addition to Fezzik who might be more unbiased and willing, I am all ears.

I think TimT, and others can speak to my fairness.......... I have been known to bust balls of friends who had a bad run, and certainly have no problems discussing it. I have always respected Edward, but like Alf Musketa, I have praised him not because we are necessarily good friends, but because his results are tremendous.
