Pace and Cap - Sartin Methodology & The Match Up - View Single Post

If you ever post, or make available for purchase, a detailed winning method (little to no judgement required) on a public board that can be duplicated, even if it is a spot play, it will no longer be profitable. I personally witnessed this in 2004 with Jcapper. It just takes one big bettor to turn a positive expectation bet into a negative one over time.

I would not be surprised if there are people that have taken Bill V.'s specific paceline selection method, run it in Val4 or RDSS, spit the output into a database and sliced and diced it looking for long term profitability.

It is not a matter of a "free lunch". People are always looking for profitable approaches that they can create database rules (which by the way can be a lot of work on the front end) and then spit out spot plays with or without betting criteria.
