College Basketball Handicapper:

LINE VALUE
One often overlooked but important factor in predicting the future success of a handicapper is how the lines on their plays at time of release compare to the closing line. Sportsbooks define "sharp" players as those who's bets beat the closing line. It is often a much better indication of future success than a win-loss record from a small sample size. Here is the line history of RAS college football plays from the 2007 season:

INDUSTRY QUOTES
"In most industries there 80% reputable companies and 20% not.  In this industry it's opposite.  In our 35+ years in business we've ran across very few who maintain a high level of both integrity and winning and Edward and RAS is one of them.  Another fellow "good guy" in the industry."
- Wade (Doc's Sports Handicapper)
"Anyone looking for a legit hard working college basketball capper, RAS would be a good choice."
- Fezzik (FezziksPlace/LVASports)
"Edward has been a regular guest on my radio show, which airs Mon-Fri 4-6 PM Pacific on ESPN-920 Las Vegas. There's just no doubt about it. The man knows his stuff! If you combine good instincts with in depth knowledge, it's going to be a winning combination."
