Savage thx for invite. I don’t disagree with what you said. They are very good at going back to their record over 2 years or what ever gets them over 60%. Usually nov and dec they are solid once hoops goes off. We will see. Lot of changes there with who knows who is doing the picks there. Is Phil Steele still working as consultant? I know Ralph left from Cal. Just wonder who that is reputable is calling the shots there anymore. Good discussion. Did not know you had. A thread here about them. Thx
Hi Crown-welcome and glad to have you aboard!
Re: your question, my understanding from what NC says, Phil is only the owner of NC and has been hands off the picks and the operation for a while.
I find that hard to believe actually as for one thing(as I have said before, everything about the comp. line is the same as always-the promos,
everything being tied to PowerSweep, the deceptive record keeping, etc.
And lets face it we all know Phil is the one puts in the 100 hour plus work weeks which consist of everything under the same re: stats, trends, angles, etc.
and which form the basis of PS and PowerPlays each week as well as his private sets of picks.
I would assume that at the very least this stuff is also used as a strong basis for the Late Phones, Marquees.
I raised this question last year at the CM, where this thread was stationed last season.
At that forum there was a verified insider at NC, who either worked there at one time and/or who knew someone who did.
Unfortunately he hasn't come over to this thread yet(his posting name is Alcatraz), but in reference to the question, he stated that Phil
still had a lot of say in their picks even though there are other folks involved.
I remember Alcatraz distinctly stating once that Phil had the final say when it came to big plays, and would NEVER allow one to be released
unless he agreed with it.
That said, it is anyone's guess as to actually makes most of the calls over there and whether/how much Phil is involved presently.
As you can see, I am pretty involved with this(maybe too much lol), but I wouldn't too it if I didn't believe there is some interest.
Not to brag, but even though there haven't been too many responses to what I say, I think the record keeping is important as well
as my commentary, as evidenced by over 13000 hits in just over two months.
if you don't know already, the "Phil Steele/NC Crusade/Exposure" with me has been going on since the early 2000's(again maybe I shouldn't brag about that lol).
ps Again feel free to disagree with me and/or add your own commentary.
Also can I assume that you are not related to Rob Crowne(he spells his name a bit differently with an added letter)?
I aske because when he was around(a number of years back), he was not only an excellent capper but extremely intelligent and with some grea
tips on gambling.
