Ok, before I get started, I did clear this with Ed, so please do not scold me....
I currently subscribe to RAS football service and probably will be going with the NCAA baskets as well. With the football, there are normally 8-10 plays a week. I can handle the emails and texts I receive, then placing the bets in a timely manner with Football. No problem there. Doing rather well ED!
But with Baskets, there are just too many plays for me to place them in a timely manner with my offshore book. I was with RAS hoops last year for a month. I remember he had 6-8 plays and they came out about 6pm central time on a Saturday night. Of course, being at a wedding, or wherever I was, it was very difficult. Or, if the plays come out when I am not near a computer, or I am in a meeting, it is difficult. I am not faulting ED here, I just want to be able to keep up with his plays.
So, I am looking for an individual who I can rely on to receive and place the plays with my off shore book. I would pay for the hoops service and provide your email and phone number to receive the plays. I would provide access to you for the off shore account, and you would just put the plays in. Then I can look on the internet or call to see what I would have pending for that day, or night. Not sure how I would pay, either on a commission or flat weekly fee. To be determined.
I think Ed's hoops service starts in a month or so, so we do have sometime. Think about it and maybe if you guys have some other ideas, I would appreciate your input..

Sounds good, I sent Ed a message.
After the 20 seconds or so the picks lose their value. So I wouldn't think that is a large concern.
20 seconds and they really lose their value that quick? if you have a local book such as myself that I have access to then Ed's picks are still very valuable in that sense i would think as his lines don't change much at all but also may be different lines than what Ed bases his picks off of. I am not a subscriber currently so I guess I can't test that.
I guess if you have a local but if you are dealing with offshore they aren't worth nearly as much if you don't get down in those first 20 seconds. That isn't a shot. That just proves how valuable his service is.
i understand the value for sure. Ed/RAS certainly worth their weight in gold...!
A really interesting side project I might think about doing would be the following:
-tie into google voice's API to receive text messages programmatically. If this turns out to be too slow (which I think it might), tie into the countdown page and scrape the plays.
-Place bets automatically through automated web scraping to whatever sites / shops are needed. If you don't think this is already done (not only at easily automated sites like matchbook, but traditional sites as well) then you are wrong.
Ideally, an automated system like this would cut the total time from release to bet to the speed of your internet connection... The biggest bottleneck would be loading websites, which is still a hell of a lot faster than anyone doing it manually.
Definitely doable, and if done correctly it would be flexible enough to expand to a online "service" provided to others...
Contacted Edward, as soon as i get your info ill be in touch.
This is a great idea and I think would be a real tool for many members on this board. I hope you pursue it.
