2008-09 College Basketball Service

Right Angle Sports (established in 1996) is a college sports handicapping service headed by Edward Golden. We provide handicapping information, picks, and analysis with particular focus on the first eight weeks of the college foootball season and the entire college basketball season. We do not handicap any other sports during these periods.

Number Of Plays
We expect to release roughly 125-175 side plays, and 125-175 total plays over the 4 1/2 month college basketball season. On average that equates to 10-20 plays per week, sides and totals combined.

Primary Focus On Smaller Conferences & First Hand Scouting Of Southern California Teams
Our philsophy has always been to focus on teams that do not get a lot of public or media attention. With this service you will not get many picks on big national TV matchups such as North Carolina vs UCLA, but instead you will get plays involving teams from the Big West, Big Sky, WCC, CAA, MAAC, OVC, SoCon, and other small conferences. We believe this approach gives us the biggest possible edge. I personally attend over 20 local scrimmages, exhibitions, and regular season games in the first two months of the season which often leads to high edge plays early in the year.

No Write-Ups
Change for 2008-09: Almost all college basketball plays (SIDES & TOTALS) will NOT include a write-up. This will make the service more efficient, allow more time for handicapping, and preserve the value of certain handicapping information longer. The end result of this change will be the opportunity for more plays and more units earned.

Release Times
Release times may vary day to day depending on the betting market and how quickly sportsbooks post lines with full limits. There will be approximately a ten minute advanced warning before release of all plays (sides & totals) that will be sent via e-mail and/or text message. We expect to release most side plays between 8:00-10:00am PST and most total plays between 1:00pm-3:00pm PST on weekdays and earlier as needed on weekends. In rare situations late "additional plays" will require release closer to game time.

Play Delivery
Change for 2008-09: All college basketball plays will be released via a new web countdown page that will eliminate the timing and reliability issues of e-mail and text messaging. All plays will still be sent via e-mail and text message as they are released, but subscribers accessing the new web page will be guaranteed equal and reliable access to plays. Advanced warnings with release times will be sent via e-mail and text message.

Rating & Grading
All plays will be rated at 1.0 UNIT to 2.0 UNITS and graded with a conservative consensus line from major offshore sportsbooks at time of release. If two sportsbooks have 136 and two sportsbooks have 136.5 we will use 136 for an under and 136.5 for an over. All plays will be listed on the Pick Archive page no more than 10 minutes after tip-off for monitoring purposes.

Line Movement
Due to the strong following of the service and our focus on small market confernces and totals, it should be expected that lines on all plays will move within 15-30 seconds of release, particularly over/under plays! It is essential to optimize yourself and be prepared to place wagers immediately upon release in order to take full advantage of this service. Failure to do this will result in having to place wagers at lines worse than what we release and grade with, thus losing edge. We recommend experimenting with different sportsbooks (some move lines faster than others) and betting methods (phone/online) to see what works best for you. If you miss the initial line movement, it is occassionally best to wait until close to game time to wager as the line may move back in your favor.

Sides vs Totals Service
The total plays have a bigger edge and are likely to produce a higher win rate than sides over the long term, but the college basketball totals market is extremely volatile, particularly during the first six weeks of the season (Nov-Dec). As noted above, lines will move drastically almost immediately upon release. In addition not all sportsbooks will carry totals for all games. Please take these factors into consideration and be sure you will be able to utilize the service before ordering. The advantage of playing sides are much bigger limits, easier to find outs, and less line volatility. Because of this you will often end up with similar profits following each of the two sets of plays.
