Ed will be chasing until the first weekend in April. Plenty of chasing still left.......:houra
Would like to see a 30-30 from Archie Bunker.
tom, i think you are correct. he needs to chase to quote unquote get even.
11 totals yesterday. apparently ras has shot its load. no more to be feared.
shocked books still move on his plays. ridiculous.
i never get upset when i make a play from one of our posters
here and it loses. the selections come from hard work and are offered
without a fee. when a service charges 2600, i would liike to get something
in return. don?t mind spending money-hate pissing it away.
You literally are the definition of a hater - if anyone has had success you want them to fail so you can hate on them. It's sad.Ed will be chasing until the first weekend in April. Plenty of chasing still left.......:houra

pokerjoe-
for sake of discussion, would you say ras believes they are GOD
by upping their price a huge percentage this season from prior
seasons? this disturbs me. they were assuming a successful season
by increasing their prices. if you choose to do so based on positive
thinking, then produce
No picks today, Bucky, I believe is the reason you see nothing.
I am not pokerJoe, Bernie but will take a stab. It depends on how you look at it. His prices have gone thru the roof since 5-7 years ago. Way higher than the last few years increases. He started low for a while and has gone high. If you saw the prices a few years ago you would be really pissed. It is supply and demand. Once he got hot and got a name then ED took advantage and went nuts on the prices. If you raise prices and people still buy in droves, then what do you do? He keeps raising but did have success. He also has the sharps buying from him and they will pay anything. It is a tough vicious cutthroat business at times. You can decide the morals but these are the facts.
I am pokerjoe and I approve this message.
Hey Tom, why don't you pay your past debts stiff and allow the actual winners in the industry to keep producing winners. Quit hating man, it's just weird. Look at the threads you create - they're threads full of hate because you're worthless man.
WORSE THAN -12 IN TOTALS. THEY TELL US TO GO 2-1 TOTALS VS SIDES.
I have never met a single follower that has come out ahead long term. Nature of the beast. Second hand information. Cherry picking becomes hazardous to your bankroll. Don't ever confuse follower with either a "mover" or a beard.
It's amazing the similarities between Dr. Bob and Edward Golden.
The first tout service to consistently move lines was SCORE(Hilton-Dunbar-Willie O'Brien lol). Then Doc had a run on his Big Ten GOYs.
1-3 on sides on Saturday and 5-6 on totals. No plays on Sunday - Some of this is torture waiting for the plays.
168 - 159 combined on the year for CBB. Could improve on that by fading at the close. But, that is about as close to breaking even on 300 picks as you can get.
So, know they are chasing? Should we start a Let's fade RAS at the close thread? Turn up the pressure???

There's a big difference between RAS and Dr Bob, John: RAS hasn't gone public with it's methodology.
No one should ever have jumped on the "RAS is GOD" bandwagon when they were hot, but neither should they condemn them now that they aren't. There's way too much "how have you done lately" attitude in this biz. It's a long run game, we all know that intellectually but forget it when the time comes to heed it. After all these years in the game RAS's sample of bets is still pretty small. Too small to say "RAS is GOD," and this one season's sample, even smaller, is too small to say "RAS sucks!".
The most important thing to remember is that losing seasons doesn't even necessarily mean the game has passed you by or that the market has changed (although I think the CBB totals market has drastically changed this year).
The difference in results, year to year, probably doesn't mean that you've lost your edge if you've been losing, or gotten this handicapping thing down pat if you've been winning. It probably just means you've been cold if you've been losing and have been hot if you've been winning. And having been hot or cold doesn't have predictive value.
Tim, are RAS totals still likely 55%+ going forward?
In my opinion, yes. Obviously not with the same methods, but if they keep adapting and hiring good talent, I expect them to maintain their edge in the NCAAB totals market. I've seen you post intelligently on the topic of sample size before, so no need to explain the concept of variance to you.
