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.
