I am aware of his reputation around here. Just curious if anyone subscribes to his Diamond Plays?

He touts a great record but I dont believe it. Anyone have any validity to these plays?

Thx

    Can you take anything this guy touts seriously after the truth came out with his stealing plays from RAS and Advantage Sports?

    The guy changes names of his latest and greatest package every few months so he can make a new record, common theme with guys in the industry these days and we've seen it plenty here on BT....

    A long time ago I tried several services and everyone that I spoke to was named Greg and they all sounded the same.

    People have to start doing a better job on their own of recognizing which services are worth following and which are not. There are certain criteria you can follow, many of which have been discussed at times on this forum.

    Win/loss records (win rate high enough? sample size big enough? are records legit? were accurate WA lines used?)

    Closing line values (a strong indicator of edge that is too often misunderstood or overlooked)

    How plays are monitored (are plays publically viewable shortly after game starts? third party monitor?)

    Use of widely available lines (records and unit earnings can easily be inflated by using stale or rogue lines)

    How plays are rated (an average unit size of 2 or higher will lead to inflated unit earnings, or worse, losses)

    How plays and service are marketed (too much hype? too much focus on short term streaks?)

    How realistic long term win rates are (anything over 55% long term, especially in large market sports, should be investigated closely, if it looks to good to be true it probably is)

    Longevity (There are bad services who have lasted too long, but in general it is better if the service has been around for years instead of months)

    Honesty, Integrity, Reputation, References (This can be a tough one to decipher, but read forums, ask questions, look for reliable independent info)

    Specialities/Niches (It is hard to beat one sport, it is even harder to beat multiple sports, look for services who focus on a particular market, the smaller the market, generally the easier it is to beat)

    Pricing/bankroll requirements (How much do you need to bet a game to justify the cost of the service?)

    Play volume (How much bankroll do you need in order to follow all plays, survive ups and downs, etc?)

    Difficulty of following service (Do release times fit your schedule? Do you have access to sportsbooks who will have lines up? How fast do lines move?)

    The vast majority of services will score miserably on most of these issues, but there are still a dozen or two out there, maybe even more, who will score well enough to be considered for use.

    There are 3 I can vouge for:

    Dr Bob
    LineCrusher
    Right Angle

    That's it.

    Hotbusstop........I think this is the second time you mentioned LINECRUSHER...

    Prove to me his numbers.

    He had a poor year last year, and i dont have any accurate records supporting this statement.

    Myself would NOT recommend linecrusher............Although he fades the public, i have not noticed enough success to warrant recreational or professionals to follow.,

    I agree with Newcome I really find no fun in following someone unless it on a sport which I know little about and the bet is good and I would obviously follow RightAngle in CBB because they are better than I could ever hope to be.

    other than that if im risking my money I want to look at the numbers and pick the game.

    There are definitely advantages to being an originator, and I encourage anyone who has the time and ability to do as much as they can, but even a highly successful originator can improve their bottom line by using the right outside picks.

    Greg (poster at other forums for a few years) is as solid as they come from new dimension sports

    His cbb and wnba totals are a very close second to Ed's.

    His mlb totals are above .500 thus far
