| Winning Results |
Our long term results are at the very top of the industry. |
Most services simply do not win over the long term! |
| Recordkeeping |
Our recordkeeping is 100% transparent. Every play is displayed publicly on our website no later than 10 minutes after game start time. All picks are graded against widely available -110 lines at time of release. We display every pick made for both current and past seasons. |
Most services will not show you any accurate record. Others will show you just the last 10 or 30 picks. Some will refer you to a seriously flawed or even corrupt third party monitor. Some will just make bogus claims of 60% or better records. Very few services will show you previous seasons records because most do not win long term. |
| Standalone Website |
What you see is what you get. We do not sell picks from any other handicappers and our picks can only be purchased on our website. |
Some sites will feature 10 or more handicappers, all covering multiple sports so someone is always "hot" in something, and that short term streak is what gets promoted to the public while all losing records get swept under the rug. Other handicappers will sell their picks at various locations under different names and packages. |
| Responsible Marketing |
We educate potential clients as much as possible about our product and the industry. We don’t hype or tout "big" plays and we promote long term records more than short term streaks. |
Other services may offer multiple packages with different names, so they can always tout one as winning. They focus on short term "noise" streaks or refer to having "inside" info or "guaranteed" to win games. They use unrealistic unit ratings as another way to "hype" clients. |
| Endorsements |
We are endorsed by real, well known industry experts, representing a large portion of the sports betting community. |
Other services will list testimonials of fictitious names or initials of people no one has ever heard of. |
| Single Sport Focus |
We only focus on one sport at a time. We even end our college football service after Week 8, so we can give full attention to the high volume college basketball season. This extra time and focus gives us a big edge over those who attempt to juggle multiple sports markets at once. |
Most handicappers will offer picks across multiple sports. With the amount of work and time required to gain an edge in a single sports market, it is hard to believe any service is able to gain measurable edges in all markets. Also, most services are concerned with sports that are most marketable (NFL, NBA, etc.), not necessarily what sports are most beatable. By offering multiple sports they can appeal to a larger customer base. |
| Closing Line Value |
Closing line is a critical indicator of a handicapper’s edge. It is often used by sportsbooks to determine if action is "sharp" or not. We are the only service in the industry who tracks closing line value publicly. Our clients have beaten the closing more than 83% over the past 3 seasons. Our CLV can be attributed to our strong following, being on the "right" side, and our opinion being respected and/or validated in the marketplace. |
This is a concept no other service currently discusses publicly, and most services almost certainly would not beat the closing line consistently. So it makes sense that they would not be talking about it, despite its importance. Many services even sell their "ACC game of the year" ahead of time, meaning they are not even concerned with what the line might be! |
| Realtistic Unit Ratings |
RAS uses a strict 1.0 to 2.0 rating system, with over 90% of released plays being rated at 1.0 UNIT. A unit should be your average sized bet. |
Other services will rate their plays between 3-5 "units" or "stars" to inflate their actual earnings when they are winning. They will say they are up 20 units in a week, but averaged out it is really only 4 or 5 units. Many services also rate their selections with huge variance to allow them to quickly erase negative records by hitting one big play. |
| Widely Available Lines |
Our lines are derived from a consensus of the biggest and most influential offshore sportsbooks (CRIS, Greek, Pinnacle) at the time of our release. The vast majority of sportsbooks copy their lines from these three books. |
Other services are known to refer to a "rogue" line that is available only at one particular sportsbook, or a line that was previously available but no longer is when they release it. This type of line grading can result in significant record inflation. |
| Long Term Focus |
In addition to making our long term records readily available on our website, we promote a long term approach by not offering single week packages for football, or daily packages for basketball. |
Other services are all about the daily packages, short term streaks and records, and seldom care about their clients long term outlook. |
| Pricing |
Our rates remain competitive despite outperforming virtually all of our competitors. |
There are many services who do not win and/or are flat out dishonest who still charge significantly more for their services than us. |
| Information Network |
With over 15 years in the sports handicapping industry, being the operators of the now defunct InfoWins.com college sports information network, the popular BettingTalk.com forum, and the robust CollegeInjuryReport.com site, we have had some incredible networking opportunities, and rely on these contacts regularly in our handicapping process. |
Many services will say they have "inside" information but they really spend the majority of their time, money, and resources on marketing, not handicapping. |
| Market Influence |
If you know nothing else about a handicapper, one way to measure their worth is to see how the market reacts to their plays. When we release a play, the market reacts quickly and swiftly, and the line movement usually holds all the way until game time. |
With most services, the market could care less about who they picked, because they don’t win, and no one sharp is following them. You will have all day to bet the play, and may even get a better line some of the time. |
| Live Feed |
Our new live feed keeps you connected throughout the day for late releases, information, or second half plays. |
Most services will send you picks and end all communication for that day. |
| Market Liquidity |
We do not release any plays until there is a reasonable amount of market liquidity, (i.e. full limits at CRIS & Pinnacle and multiple offscreen options up) |
Some services will release overnights, or lines that are only up at a few books, etc. It is much easier to win when markets are smaller, but it makes it much more difficult for clients to follow. |
