2010 College Football Service | 2010-11 College Basketball Service

"RAS" (established in 1996) has become one of the most successful, respected, and influential college sports handicapping services in the industry. We combine a strong background in informational and fundamental handicapping with the use of high level statistical indicators and modeling to produce consistent winning results with fully transparent recordkeeping. Our edge in the college sports markets is clearly demonstrated by both our long term win rates and considerable closing line values.

First 8 Weeks Only
The 2010 college football service will run from September 2nd to October 23rd only. We believe we have more edge in the early part of the season and prefer using late October and early November as preparation time for the highly profitable college basketball season. As always RAS handicaps only one sport at a time. We will not be handicapping the NFL, or any other sport while the CFB service is active. Week 1 side plays will be released as early as Wednesday, August 25th.

Number Of Plays
Over the past three seasons, the college football service has averaged 48.3 plays (6.04 per week), sides and totals combined over an 8 week span.

No Write-Ups
Since 2009, college football plays no longer include write-ups. This decision has been made to improve overall efficiency of the service, allow for more time to be focused on core handicapping, and to preserve the value of certain information and methods that will be used by the service in the future.

Release Times
Release times will vary depending on the betting market and the timing/availability of handicapping information, among other factors. We expect to release most side plays early in the week (Monday through Wednesday) and most total plays on Thursday or Friday. In rare situations releases on gameday or closer to game start time will be required.

Second Half Plays
RAS handicappers have been posting second half plays in WNBA, CBB, and CFB for free in a thread at BettingTalk.com since May of 2009 and have generated a record of 112-76 (59.57%). These plays will continue to be posted on the forum, but RAS subscribers will get priority delivery via e-mail and text message.

Play Delivery

Web Countdown Page - All plays will be released one at a time, at two and a half minute intervals, via the web at www.RASpicks.com.   This is the fastest and most reliable delivery method available. It ensures that all subscribers have equal access to plays as they are released. This page can also be accessed using a mobile device at m.raspicks.com.

E-mail - All plays will also be sent via e-mail as they are released on the web countdown page, but delivery time may be subject to delays depending on your ISP, spam filters, and other internet factors.

Text Messaging - All plays will also be sent via text message as they are released as requested. Delay and reliability issues are common for several phone service providers. We do not recommend relying on text message as a primary method for receiving plays.

Advanced Warnings - A warning notice will be sent via e-mail and text message at least 10 minutes before any play is released to allow subscribers time to login to www.raspicks.com and be prepared for the release.

Rating & Grading
All plays will be rated at 1.0 UNIT to 2.0 UNITS and graded with a consensus line from major offshore sportsbooks at time of release. All plays will be listed on the Pick Archive page no more than 10 minutes after kick-off for monitoring purposes. *Records of all second half plays will be kept separately and will not be included in the normal season records.

Line Movement
Due to the strong following of the service and our focus on small market conferences, it should be expected that lines on all plays will move within 5-25 seconds of release! It is essential to optimize yourself and be prepared to place wagers immediately upon release in order to take full advantage of this service. Failure to do this will result in having to place wagers at lines worse than what we release and grade with, thus losing some if not all edge. We recommend experimenting with different sportsbooks (some move lines faster than others) and betting methods (phone/online) to see what works best for you. Do not expect perfect results in your first few attempts. When you miss the initial line movement, it is usually best to wait to see if the line moves back in your favor at some point in the day. Timing when to bet and shopping for the best numbers will always maximize your value.

NCAA Totals Availability
Some sportsbooks will only offer totals on TV games, and some will not post totals until game day. In order to get full value from this service, make sure you have access to sportsbooks who offer totals on all college games by Thursday or Friday of each game week.
