    Not trying to kick slob while he is down but that was funny.

    slob picking all favorites again, I think he is on the take myself, not his style to pick all favs.
    I'm questioning slob's intentions.

    How come the VT line didn't move? I think slob this year is fading his own picks, or at least half of his beloved desciples do so

    amazing that picking winners against the spread is that difficult. You would think you could throw darts and get 50%. So if you applied some knowledge 60% would seem attainable. But it doesn't work like that.

    You're a sharp man. I'm putting you on my sharp list

    I think he is fading his own plays too.

    I think you could throw feces at the rotation #'s and get a better result than 36%.

    It's very difficult to pick over 56%.

    I'd have to seriously question the intelligence of the people who think he is giving out the opposite side of his picks......

    Why? Our boy pags thinks he is on the take as well. Do you recall him selecting so many favs?

    What does it matter how many favorites or dogs he is taking...dogs and fav cover at roughly approximately the same rate. To think that he is on the take is beyond absurd. Did you see that mansion that he lives in that clip? You think he is going to trade that so he can work for someone? Come on man...use some common sense.

    Anyway, remember Dr. Bob is a businessman. In the end, his job is to secure clients and generate revenue for his business. When his clients agree to purchase his picks they engage in a lawful contract with him such that he provides a service for them and he does so honestly and to the best of his abilities. Failure for him to carry out the proper terms and services of the contract would violate that contract. Not only would it be highly immoral/unethical for him to work for others in an effort to manipuate the lines but it would be illegal. Such a finding would not only give his clients the right to terminate their contract with him but it could also be the basis for a class action lawsuit against him to retrieve monetary damages. In effect, it would ruin his business entirely. Sure it is possible....but if such things ever became public it would literally ruin a carrer.

    Finally, there is a logical statisitical explanation to all this in terms of the variance of a sampling distribution or even regression to the mean. Nobody can continue to hit 60%+ like he was last year in essentially a 50/50 endeavor like picking against the spread and it was only a matter of time before he "regressed back to the mean." However, the long term mean for him is higher than most people so I expect him to bounce back since he has an documented expected value of 57%.

    Dr. Bob is just a businessman....that's all he is just like every other tout.

    I basically agree with you and think the whole fading his own picks thing is extremely unlikely, but....

    Part of me wants to believe that he's releasing a set of fake picks to the public, then either A) telling his subscription guys to wait for the line to move and bet the other side or B) releasing another set of picks to them. And at the end of the season or sometime later it will come out that this was the method and his success was off the charts good this year.

    Any subscribers here? Confirm/Deny?

    When I am out of the red in week 13 I'll be waiting for you poker.


    If this Dr.Bob situation tells us anything it tells us that no one is immune to losing.

    Well except pokernut. Other than him no one.

    I wouldn't fade the Dr. anymore if I were you people. I guess you people didn't track his picks from last week. One bad pick out of the bunch. No way he is on the take either cause he damn near could have swept last weekend.

    I just find it funny how people bash his picks when theirs are no better.


    He is ahead in the NFL but no one talks about those picks.

    Sincerely,

    I wonder why we all are so concerned with how Dr Bob is doing? Maybe if we focused all of that energy into our own games we could add an extra unit or 2 to our own bankroll.

    I really hope he takes a serious dive, because I get tired of the line movements on Thursday evening. If its going to hurt my lines or not. Because I don't like to bet before then.

    You don't need to fade all his picks to be a winner. I just make sure that on the games I like he is on the opposite site. Thank you slob.

    His NCAA picks Weren't any good last week, lost his biggest play.

    L -Rotation #358 Ohio State (-17 1/2) 4-Stars at -18 or less,
    3-Stars from -18 1/2 to -20, 2- Stars at -20 1/2 or -21.
    W - Rotation #335 Memphis (+2) 3-Stars at pick or underdog,
    2-Stars from -1 to -2 1/2 points.
    L Rotation #388 Illinois (+2 1/2) 3-Stars at +1 or more, 2-Stars
    at pick or -1.
    W Rotation #370 Fresno State (-12 1/2) 2-Stars at -14 or less,
    3-Stars at -11 or less.
    W- Rotation #398 Troy (-19 1/2) 2-Stars at -21 or less.


    So was 3 - 2, losing a 4* and 3 * -7.7* +7* = -.7
    so was still -.7 units

    Plus look at the opinions

    Strong Opinion
    INDIANA 24 Penn St. (-7.5) 26 W
    SOUTH CAROLINA (-13.5) 32 Vanderbilt 13 L
    Strong Opinion at -14 points 2-Star Best Bet at -11 or less.
    Buffalo 27 SYRACUSE (-3.5) 26 L
    EAST CAROLINA (-5.0) 32 No Carolina St. 21 L
    COLORADO 30 Kansas (-4.0) 29 L
    Kansas St. 34 OKLAHOMA ST. (-3.0) 32 W
    ARIZONA (-11.5) 38 Stanford 20 L

    So overall 3-2 on star selections 2 - 5 on opinions, 5 - 7 total
