Man this is crazy reading about all the ras stuff. I tried to ask this in the other thread, but how much do you think they pay a guy like D? I'd imagine it has to be a full time gig, seeing as the amount of info D would put out last year the time that must take he almost had to be picking games full time didn't he? That guy was/is sick.
I agree that he gets offended way too easily but at the same time I don't really give a fuck. He posts plays that win. He should be treated differently than other posters because it's people like him that make a gambling message board what it is.

Honestly them being down a few units means I'd tail before I'd fade. They'll likely make a good chunk of money by the time the season is over
True, I have been down tailing them so far, but figured that until they can prove that they can get on the winning side I'll somewhat fade. It's not like I have a whole lot of money on the games, 1.5 units on 3 games.
Just got back in town last night and took a look at RAS record. All I can is DAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMNNNNNNNNNNNN

How are they doing this year? I'm to the point where I don't trust any basketball pick I make and need someone to follow. Not like I'm quitting.
Not too good. They went 1-3 last night. I faded 3 of the four picks and played Drake and won all 4 bets.
Not too good is an understatement. They're down 7.7 units right now which for most of their customers is a shitload of money...factor in that the package is 1.5K and you have some pretty pissed off people
The public complaning has begun on RAS Forum. Ed started a thread saying he finally won a total after a 8 game losing streak. This was a a reply "seems like every body is really cheery here it's great to break the losing streak but i'm getting pretty sick of paying the man every week....i didn't enjoy that colorado st play at all..RAS down 8 units more like 13 for me as i've lost 5 games on line movement..i'm really getting crushed overall..hopefully this turns around."
A lot of the stuff in here is just plain false nonsense, but without disputing detail by detail, I will just give my brief version of what happened: There were two prominent posters at BT who started services. As someone who got my start on forums, I would allow them to post links to their site, not something that any major forum allows in their main discussion these days. Both had butted heads with me and the mods in the past over recordkeeping issues (non-WA lines, selective recordkeeping, etc.) but the straw that broke the camel's back was when they started to use this advertising privledge given to them to promote a competing chat/forum of their own. At that point I figured it was just best for every one to move on and so we did. Our forum has been much better since, and I believe they are happy doing their own thing as well.
