great story.....apparently he was featured in the weekend edition of Wall Street Journal as well

looks like he's not having a great year so far (not bad though....around 50%)

nice to see one of these services without all the BS and a verifiable long term track record

There's a lot of good information copied over from other sources, but it's also clear that the author doesn't really know a great deal about sports betting in terms of personal experience. Here's just one quote I had to do a double take on:

If there's one bedrock law of sports gambling, it's that the people taking bets, the bookmakers, always win.

And I'm sorry, but anyone who believes a single handicapper from San Francisco single handedly disrupted the global sports betting industry should probably go back to reading their copy of Sports Betting For Dummies, or gossiping with their friends about how Wayne Root is the King of Vegas.

agreed. i was waiting for the punchline and of course when it said visit drbob.com that was it. should be in the wall street journal with "advertisement" around the border. if he was hittin 70% he'd keep it to himself.
