Well, well, well-what do you know-it looks like Big Al or one his folks checked this site out yesterday and took note of the fact
that some of us questioned 1 unit plays being put out as GOY and being rated the same as regular one unit plays and did
something about today by designating several of the 3* as GOY!!
I applaud that!!
Okay....but what does it mean that it is 3-star instead of 1-star? Is it 3 times more likely to win now? Is he 3 times more confident in this pick? The GOY titles are socially constructed....they have no meaning whatsoever. Again....just a marketing gimmick that is industry standard. I remember listening to Dave Cokin on a podcast concede that he has to come up with a title for a play so as to sell more picks. He said picks that have no titles do not sell as well. Look at the titles these touts give their plays.....most are nonsensical and have zero meaning.
My advice: Focus ONLY on the actual play and getting the best possible line.
Still think you guys are immune from advertising effects?
I agree with everything you say wholeheartedly!!
My only point is that no matter what Al's motivation is in this instance for rating plays, whether he truly believes
that the several 3* GOY today are really warranted and/or he is just using them as a marketing tool,
he is being a lot more intellectually honest(if that is the right word)both with himself and potential clients who might purchase the plays
than he was yesterday when his several GOY carried the same 1 unit rating as the other 1 unit ratings.
He did have a rivalry on a sports monitor website with a Caleb Hartley before the pandemic. They are now both on Big Al sites. Oskeim is on the main one and Hartley is on the PickAdvisor with Tran, Schule, Parsons, Nover, etc. Personally I think Hartley aligns more with Oskeim with pick output. There are usually just 1 or 2 a day. Big Al likes the volume. Oskeim is a well known name but back before the pandemic Hartley dominated them both on a third party monitor with fewer picks. It earned respect. He has 8 (!!) plays today on PickAdvisor but that's so out of character. His packages are also listed on SharpestEdgeSports and they are much cheaper?!? No clue what to think...May sign on for March Madness since it seems this is his bread and butter. I have never seen it posted in here....Advice?
I have asked for him once. I have bought it. Then I bought Docs Sports and posted it, There is no spamming. I was posting statistical data? I said I would buy it again and simply asked for advice since there are two separate prices. I am not sure what each means. So yeah, advice...
Hotpizza, I am trying to contribute and just asking what you guys think I should do with what I purchase. Spamming is the furthest thing from it. I don't care who I buy I was just wondering if this would be something worth while with 8 picks. I found it an odd number for him. Chill. Sorry about the links, and they were only posted so anyone could see the price differential for the same picks. How is that spam? I am confused..far from spamming....
Listen pal, I've contributed here way more than you ever will. This site is a lot more than just Service Plays. You get off your high horse and do some due diligence. Just think I've helped you go from 11 posts to 17 posts. As always friendly and helpful. Stop posting links and you'll be fine here.
Also note anyone that reverts to name calling and attacking always shows their true character. You won't find that anywhere in my posts.
Good Day!
