I hate to date myself....but I remember in the mid 2000s when Dr. Bob was all the rage and every Thursday afternoon the lines would move 3, 4, even 5 points on his plays! There was some discussion that sportsbooks were subscribing to his plays to beat the punters to the line move. Anyway, I was listening to a podcast and a respected LV sportsbook director was on and he called the idea that any respectable sportsbook would care what play a tout put out to be both comical and amateurish. And as we all know, Dr. Bob has been in a long slumber the past 10+ years. Believe me, sportsbooks don't care about touts at all.
Subscribing to Dr. bob's plays r vastly different from fearing his plays. 2nd, source of the info - coming from a sportsbook director, come on, u think those testosterone dudes thinking they R ALL BAD ASS, THE MEN would even come close saying they care on anything. Never once in my life those director dudes don't come across being boastful, bad ass until they get laid off.
Back those Thursdays, those games just off the board for a minute or two b4 the real time computer systems kick in now.
This was a pretty famous sportsbook director who still is around and is always quoted by the sports gambling media. I am not sure how to respond other than to say that most people on here overestimate the influence and reach that touts have in the sports gambling world. Sure, some touts are better (and more transparent) than others but for virtually all of them, long-term winning is elusive and not even their main priority.
Ok If there is a 0% chance the books buy his plays, then what ARE the odds? I'll go 50%. Meaning I'll bet you (a)the books buy from Maddux and have a guy there to move his and maybe some other lines. I would if I ran the place. How many hundreds of g-millions of dollars are bet based off these forums? Based off what handicapper(s) say? Why are YOU here? Next, Odds on option #2 - I'll just off the cuff as I type go 45% The books advert on his site bcs they are all in on it, whatever "it" is and however deep "it" is/goes, together. Twitta hastag #RIGGED And all it takes is ONE - JUST ONE official to rig it ladies. Option #3 Maddux -10 just dropped hit girls
He came in on Iowa -6.5 . Tell ya what tho, I think he moves the NBA more. And early texts, when he comes in early. The middle of the night footlball, and of course hoops and the early morning, those always are a drop everything and hit it play. So, do they have a much less handle, and how much less? Why do I bother wit you guys? Each of you is ugly and limp wristed
