MASSIVE step in the right direction.

A+ move!

It would be an even nicer move to have all Pregame Pros be mandated to post their Wins & Losses in terms of UNITS.  This would account for single, double, triple unit plays.  Win/Loss records ARE NOT determinative.  UNITS ARE!

Computer Bob is a respected tracker. Nice decision by pregame brass.

Nice decision!

Congrats ComptrBob. Enjoy the new gig.

Wasn't Pregame calling into question ComputrBob's credibility previously? What makes him a good fit now?

Hopefully for sake of FULL transparency Bob gets everything before game time (with enough time to verify spreads, vigs, odds etc) then posts them (piecemeal if necessary) immediately after they become unable to be bet by non subscribers.

Obviously a huge time commitment to do that but would definitely leave zero room for criticism on any front.

Because lets face it, if there is an iota of doubt the fringe crazies will still be calling into question some aspect of the process.

Even the most transparent guy to sell picks anywhere Ed at RAS has people questioning him because he grades on lines that were once available but due to (fill in your own reasons here) they actually move after(or before) he releases them.

Selling picks is a tough business even tougher if your opinion matters enough to actually move a line. But having a grading system that takes all that into consideration is a good step.

Hopefully its what happens with this endeavor.

Wiz ... Bob will get everything identically to the BLAP subscribers (exact same fashion, exact same time).

I find it funny how much shit people talk on Bob's main(?) site he posts on, (including Bob, at times) , and yet crickets from them when Bob's tracking shows a ~125 unit win last year for BLAP, but whatever, they're a bunch of broke idiots. It won't convert the haters, but it's a good thing to have anyway.

Thats the first step. Is there a time frame he has to wait before he posts them. Obviously not before games start. But wait until after games are done?

Even though I say I dont like to put my head into how other think you have to here. Because you know more than anyone how people will look at this if there is any question at all. You cant assume everyone will trust ComputerBob even though for a forum guy his trust number are probably the highest of anyone ever.

In other words really the only people a move like this is supposed to convince are the ones who are impossible to satisfy. Most people dont care. But you are obviously trying to 'prove' something here, and to do that you have to convince these hyper critical people that there is nothing to hide. To do that it has to be almost real time.

Not sure if that makes sense or not. But the people who will take it all for gospel are guys you dont have to convince anyway and getting Bob to do it is unnecessary. But even Bobs credibility cant withstand  the vitriol of some of the guys who cant stand people who sell picks to people.

Like I say I dont like putting my brain into their heads because its scary but when theyre that obvious it isnt hard to know how they think or what  they will do to try to discredit ANYONE to try and keep their point/agenda/rant going.
