The Host W-L Records page is a disaster. Obviously, any new potential subscriber wants to know the hosts' records, but to update them ONCE A SEASON is just laughable.

Hosts' records should be updated in season once a week. And yeah, I know, some guy is supposed to do that every week on the-whatever- sport-page. It sometimes gets done. If you want to hook a new subscriber (particularly, a gambler), you're gonna have to show him something NOW.

The problem with the whole site (and what scamdicappers never face) is that Stanford is trying to placate math geeks who fashion themselves above selling, and trying to make a profit on the site. It will only work if the math geeks deliver, and they're not.

To use the excuse for mediocre W-L records things like, I had to use
-110 in my pick vs. (what I really got) -104 at Pinnacle, or I posted +5 on the Salamanders even though I really got +6 at Little Caesars, isn't ever gonna build any subscription base across the country.

You listen to the hosts individually, and they are all making money.
But then you look at the overall site records, and nobody is making money. If the honest guys can't beat the spread, what's the point?
Maybe it's a diversion for a few rich diletantes who can rationalize the losses as entertaiment?
