RAS is back in cbb????

[thekeyman]

​this service has always been a joke to me.the lines get moved so quick after he posts his plays and i really don't know why cause he is not very good.in football he has been horrible but this past year i think he has an alright year but buried his players before that.also what i never found normal is he quits when they get into conference play,so what is he afraid that he can't win in conference or what.i've been around a long time and services are not my thing,but this guy is just a part timer to me,if your supposed to be a good service then play all season,if not don't play at all.

I really am starting to think that people on this forum simply love arguing. About anything and everything.

just because people have a diff opinion than other people does not make it an argument. Plus a healthy debate is always good education right?

Then answer one question for me. If RAS is as bad as you say, then WHY DOES VEGAS ADJUST THEIR LINES 2 TO 3 POINTS when he releases his plays. Which is also the reason, it's hard to find the lines he uses because Vegas changes them right away.

because it's a lot of money moving on one side or total in a very short period of time. RAS only puts out NCAAB picks for NOV and DEC so it's $1200 month so you have to be a really decent sized bettor to spend $2500 for two months. And since emails/texts are sent to members at same time most bet within 15 minutes of each other flooding the market on mostly small college or newly-totaled games and books adjust very quickly because of the money coming in at the same time. quite frequently the line comes back a half a point or full point but it's not like books are adjusting because of RAS, it's because of the money coming in at the same time on pretty strange games (like georgia state vs arkansas state). He knows his stuff, gets very good info and has done very well but is too pricy for the fun gambler

My experience with RAS is that Ed is much better on totals than on sides. Even at that, trying to play his info at the lines he plays is difficult. If you buy points so that your wager aligns with his selections, your profit is dramatically reduced.

You are 100% correct, could not have said it better, NUFF SAID!!

CBB full game: 520 Old Dominion -3.5

That is not a "widely available line" but if you're following along, good luck.

I missed his Old Dom pick because there is too much bickering on his Twitter acct. He also likes Santa Clara at +2.5. Line hasn't moved too much.

CBB full game: 700 NC Asheville -1

This game isn't even lined at my place and is at 2 at Pinny


How people can defend this is surreal.

The whole "you can get the lines if you really try" nonsense.

Or, just see every post by SDF

Look, this is the equivalent to point buying.

I'm not "complaining" as I don't play these games.

I was making a point that this tout does not grade plays based on 'widely available lines' as is claimed.

UNC Ashville was not lined at heritage or the greek (or my local) and had a 1 pt difference at Pinny 3 minutes after it was released.

Anyway, if you're playing all the plays, good luck today.

Keyman, thanks for reminding me of this. I haven't been hurt by it this year and it's only saved me twice but I know better. Thanks for the reminder! Northern Star has told me this for years so I hope he doesn't read this or I'll get a tongue lashing from him.

UNCA was absolutely lined at Heritage. Get sportsoptions so you are aware of lines at books

the final answer is: RAS MOVES LINES. Be fast, find a slow book, dont bet it at all, buy points, or bet into a worse line.
