Yes he is and I don't think that is saying much

Dr.Bob's plays last year sure did make the lines move. They probably won't be as golden this year IMO

Hey lucky you are here, if you posted that at RX, post review then banishment.

bigboydan · 08-04-07, 06:37 PM

I'm not gonna ban anyone for saying that about ace-ace OF. Everyone has a right to there opinion about the guy as long as it doesn't get out of hand. If that happens then I gotta move the post to the private section.

I never subscribed to Dr. Bob, however before he became a fee service I always used to compare my handicapping to his analysis. A lot of times he was bang on. When he went to a subscribe only service I quit checking up on him.

It won't get out of hand from my end.

Best Wishes...OF

I like his write ups. He does his homework. I got his plays for a few weeks last year. Just my luck he was in a slump. I think it was 05 that he really had a bang up year.

Hoja Verdes · 08-04-07, 10:44 PM

he hit 70% in '05.

then last year the world caught on unfortunately so he nuked the lines every Thursday at noon.

I'll be subscribing again this year.

05 was a bonafide chalk year. What did he do last year? The last ten years? If anyone subscribes could they share?

If you are going to follow him, you need to click refresh every second when they come out, have a line service up, and bet within 3 seconds. There are teams of players doing this, which crashes the line so fast.

Everyone did well in 2005. I hit 64% that year and I am a lifetime 57% college football capper. 2005 was unusually formful -- should be thrown out of the equation.

jjgold · 08-05-07, 04:32 AM

Just like any other tout, they eventually end up around 50%

Always remember he would not be selling picks if he was so good, he would just bet himself and be rich.

From his site:

I am very proud of my 57% long term win percentage on my Football Best Bets over 19 years in business (59.3% the last 2 years since adjusting my handicapping methods) and my 55% win percentage on my Basketball Best Bets (58% this past season), and I'm constantly frustrated by the number of times I hear novice gamblers say that 55% isn't even winning after taking into account the juice they have to pay on losses.

Lol......why is he begging for customers? Why is Vegas not closed down? Bet his picks and quit your job and I bet you end up in the gutter.

I love these losers.

NO ONE WOULD WORK IF YOU CAN HIT 58%, ALL WE WOULD DO IS LOG ONTO DR BOBS SITE AND BET HIS PICKS.

HOW MANY FUKIN TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY THIS?

20Four7 · 08-05-07, 07:42 AM

Someone asked a question and I replied based on his site. I said I do NOT subscribe to him. He may have had 3 good years to boost his average as someone said he went 70% in 05. I'm surprised we haven't seen Dr. Joey slatts web site up and running.

TheOffshoreGambler · 08-05-07, 10:13 AM

Yeah these touts always have a break out year just to drown their followers the next year...

abacus30 · 08-05-07, 10:31 AM

I know you guys hate touts around here... however, for those that like to use them sometimes, M. Cannon has made me a lot of $ on college and pro basketball for years. Take it or leave it, but it's a fact.

Are you talking about Michael Cannon the guy on Brandon Lang's website? Wow if he made you money well good for you but i never thought he was any good so this is news to me.

abacus30 · 08-05-07, 07:07 PM

yes, but just talking basketball

jj.. sometimes you just dont get it.. i know the bob situation very well, and he nets over 1 million a yeat in prfots from his tout service.. i do agree with you that with his 58% hit rate, he could make more betting the games, but its NOT a sure thing ,and betting that big has many other problems. i have been with bob for over 8 years and his track record is all true.. i do believe his best days are behind him however, as he has become way to popular... but no one is more honest,as hard of a worker and as smart as that guy when it comes to tout services..

saying that guys who can hit 58% would never sell their picks b/c they would just be better off betting the games themselves is like saying, a trader who can make 30% plus a year would never run a hedge fund.. he would just manage his own money.. NOT TRUE

gridironguy · 08-06-07, 12:23 AM

He has probably lost tons and tons of subscribers because there is no need to get his picks directly from him -- just watch the line movement and if you believe in him, ride the wave..

gridironguy · 08-06-07, 12:24 AM

$1,000,000 Mil = 5,000 subscribers @ $2,000 per

I doubt it, esp after his popularity has risen so much in the past 2 seasons..

ferndog · 08-06-07, 02:12 PM

500 subscribers at 2k a pop would make you a million

Yes, that's true. Bad math on my part. I am getting old. I'm sure Bob has cleared a Mil the past couple of yrs, maybe more..

All eyes are on him going forward, though..

SBR_John · 08-06-07, 02:25 PM

Those touts that got busted in Florida were flat out terrible and they were making $5-10 million a year.

I've heard that Jim Fiest makes around the $7 million a year range.

If the over/under for Dr Bob is $1 million a year put me down on the over.

He had a good 06 season too. His plays are listed as wise guy plays on the G&J line service.

pags11 · 08-07-07, 12:58 AM

the guys pretty sharp...must make a couple million at least a year...
