I do not think that he was making these plays available to sports books prior to his customers.
However, I think it would be safe to assume that some people who may of been friends or very loyal customers would of been given a chance to use these plays before they were released to all their customers.
With that being the case it wouldn't take very long for these books to catch on to the pattern and those players involved and see what they could do with that info.
You see, a lot of what people don't understand is that there are many different kinds of sports books out there. And by that I mean, there are your corporate, risk management type sports books that are driven on profit and ran like any other business would be. And then, there are the cowboy sports books that are run by old school street bookies who don't care as much about managing risk and if they see opportunities to pad their bank accounts they will take advantage of them.
I have been in a sports book before which I won't name where they had two employees whose only job was to middle and scalp into other books. Their customer base was large enough that they saw an opportunity to use the data they got from their customers and exploit their competitors with it. So they hired two guys and put them in a room with 8 computer screens and all they did all day long was chase numbers.
So what I am getting at is these sports books don't necessarily need to be "in" on anything. Their sharp people and their software are plenty capable of breaking everything down without any help or partnership.
Re:Fezzik/RAS - I should have added note that I have been working out of the country for two years, out of sportsbooks a little longer than that; all things change.
Info exchange ='s informed bettors
Only way to win is to make informed decisions,
only way to make informed decisions is read all you can,
especially at sites that facilitate info exchange between mature bettors.
Most forums are inhabited by attention seekers and trash talking trolls, reason I started posting here last year is the mutant quotient is 'nil.
