Ha, I was just reading a different article about him a half hour ago, cause I was looking into trying to go to a conference where he is speaking, but it was sold out.

Have been following him for awhile. Love the way he thinks. He basically slams my style of handicapping, but what is a person to do? I certainly don't have a multi-million dollar database. Have to make the best bets that you can, with what little information you are granted.

What I would do to follow him around for a week and see all the stats and predictive models he has!!

Bob is a pretty amazing guy. Smart! I bet one day he will be the GM of an NBA team because that's what he wants to do and this guy seems to always get what he wants.

Good article, IE, thanks for sharing! :0008

He claims that he doesn't tweet about the games that he has money on.

If that's true, then that would eliminate some games, because he definitely talks about games while they are going on. Interesting... now I will have to watch more closely with this information in hand. Although it seems like he might bet more totals than sides, based on his articles.

He made one play I know of. He played the suns vs lakers when suns were at home getting about 3 I think. The lakers were up 15 and blew it. He covered. That was the only time I have ever seen him comment.

I thought the same about totals, but I don't think that is true anymore. See my last post.

But yes, almost any time he talks about a game, you can be pretty confident he did not play it

Saw that tweet on the Suns game a few weeks ago. Good stuff - well, he is fun to follow on twitter. He is brutally honest and not afraid to wreck players/coaches. I'll take any info from him I can get :0074
