re: OFFICIAL Week 7 CFB bet thread™

So I guy I know has been calling me the last few weeks to get picks for this winner-take-all weekly pick'em ATS.

Only 5 games.

The pool is over $3400.

Last week he calls and asks for my top 5 and says he'll toss me a $200 or so if he wins. I give him Toledo, Ohio State, West Virginia, Wyoming and Duke. All 5 cover.

I texted him yesterday: Hey.. You went 5-0 last week in the pool.

He calls back and says.. "uhh.. We went 4-1. We played Maryland instead of Wyoming."

Is he FOS? I think so. He's like the bitch on the east coast who bought the pool of powerball tickets with the rest of he McDonald's coworkers; only to lie, hand the winning ticket to a friend and split the money with them.

What is RLM supposed to tell us exactly? If the team you bet on has a line that's dropping, you would assume that the line you got, isn't as valuable as it was when you bet it. However, on the other side, that would mean the public is steaming the opposite pick, which means you are on the other side of the public, which is generally viewed as a good thing.

What's the big to do about RLM and how much weight should be put into it when evaluating your plays?
