Is this a sign of things to come or just a play that was just too strong to pass up?

Are you serious? Check the RAS website later tonight and it will appear after it tips like every other play.
Even if you didn't know RAS plays appear on the site shortly after tip, you should know we don't allow people to give out plays others have to pay for, especially when they come from the owner of this very forum.
didnt know it was a paid service play cuz as far as i knew the service was comprised of only side plays..thought maybe he posted it on twitter or some thread where i missed it because it was a total play..but yea i know the rules
OK, fair enough, didn't think of that scenario, sorry if my response was harsh.
but yea i would strongly recommend that idea ..i think it would be an easy offering to market given the totals reputation ..it definitely would get people talking.
Lol. If you think he's gonna stop his service for you then you are crazy. Here's an idea,... Buy the fuckin service. He's way better than then you and this group you claim your with.
I think you're missing jake's point. If RAS releasing totals results in the entire market being shut down, that would fuck a lot of people over in the long term, and would be totally counterproductive to a lot of peoples interests. I don't know if RAS totals would have that kind of damaging effect on today's market, but I do know it would suck if that happened. But ultimately, free country.
Not that anyone really cares, but that would sum up my take on the matter. Ultimately, people are going to do what's in their own best interest, and short of committing crimes or seriously and/or maliciously hurting others, I see nothing wrong with that.
I respect everyone's right to express what they feel Ed should do, but only he can decide what he believes is best for him.
If Ed thought his service would shut down the totals market then he wouldn't do it. Remember, he can bet all these totals right now , so if he thought the market would get worse he wouldn't bother with the service. This would hurt him too if they shut it down. And maybe the totals market isn't easily beatable anymore. I honestly haven't paid much attention to it this year. Time will tell
I stand by what I posted above... only he can decide what he believes is best for him.
No need to apologize IMO. I did post "I respect everyone's right to express what they feel Ed should do" so if you have opinions to share, go for it.
First of all this will be my last post on this subject. I am not a group and have no affiliation with a group. I am just like many others out there who do not want to see the totals market destroyed again. A lot of people work very hard at this particular niche and don't want to see it hurt anymore than it has been.
Good luck.

you & alan boston should hook-up and cry about this together
I have to respond to this because I believe my posts are being misinterpreted. This has nothing to do with competition, release times. He can release these plays on the overnights and I would not give a shit, but they are not available like they once were. Like said in a previous post it is a free world and if Ed needs to feed his sheep so be it.
Good luck.

Also, the RAS totals were -2 units combined the last 2 years they were sold for a whole season.
They didn't move anywhere near this much back when the lines were way less sharp, they certainly won't move that much now.
Even in our totals heyday we never beat the close on average by more than 3.5 or so in any given month, and even that was in the early months of the season playing almost entirely non-TV games and hitting at ridiculously high win rates.
In January of 2012 we beat the close by +2.19, in 2010-11 we beat the close by +1.76 for full season, and last night's release beat it by 2 points without any real opposition. An average CLV of +1.5 would be a reasonable expectation if we release TV totals the rest of this year. Right now, there are groups playing totals who beat the close by a lot more than 1.5 points and with much heavier volume on a daily basis. If the market can handle them, it should be able to handle RAS.
