Dont know if any of you follow Dr. Bob, but found this on another site that someone posted and thought some may be interested. Dont know if true or not, but thought I would pass on the information.

"Just joined the posting forum, but have been a longtime reader. There's really some great stuff in here and I appreciate all the information.
I'm sure all of you one time or another have heard of the handicapper/tout by the name of Bob Stoll, a.k.a, Dr. Bob. For the last couple years in college football he has hit a rate of 60-65% of his games, leading to a Wall Street Journal Article about his success and a numerous of clients paying $1000 for the college football season.
When joining his service (unfortunately, I did this year), you have access to his Best Bets ranked from 2-5 Stars. His college football plays are released every Thurday at 4:45pm eastern. At that time, he posts how many Best Bets he has for the week and releases them every three minutes after that.
Dr. Bob claims to have success with his service you need to bet his Best Bets immediately due to line changes. The line changes anywhere from 1-4 points about 2-3 minutes after each Best Bet is released. Bob claims that the line movement is due to the success he has had in the past and that most sportsbooks have caught on.
Well this year he's a pathetic 10-20 with his best bets (3-15 the last 3 weeks), which he claims is totally uncharacteristic of his past success. Bob has told his clients (me included) that his poor record is "simple variance," and a indication of his performance should be looked at his 57-60% rate he's had in the past.
I'd decided to look further into it. I've got a family member that works at a Vegas sportsbook. When talking to him this AM, he asked how I was doing this year in college football, and I said I was betting Dr. Bob's best bets and he's hitting about 20% instead of the 60% in years past. He began laughing and went on to say, "Well there's a reason for that. I'd be very careful with Dr. Bob, he's crooked."
When asking what he meant by that comment he elaborated by saying Dr. Bob has been approached by a huge Vegas gambler that paid him a tremendous amount of money (5 million) to release the wrong side of his Best Bets to his clients. In turn the line would change 1-4 points, and then this Vegas gambler and Dr. Bob could bet the other side, the correct side that Dr. Bob would normally release to his clients in the past, and get the better line.
Apparently, this vegas gambler has been doing this for the past 3 weeks which could help explain Dr. Bob's horrible 3-15 record. So beware Dr. Bob players, proceed with caution...the only one's benefiting from his service are the Vegas gambler, Dr. Bob and sportsbooks (local, offshore or Vegas). So either quit betting on his plays or go the opposite side of his Best Bet releases. "

Well, a great bounce back day for me going 6-2.
I have to admit, as much as I have been getting the "bad bounce" on several plays lately, especially totals (losing them by 1-2 points when they should have been chalked up as W's), I got some love today with E Car improbable victory. For those that were on them, unreal, huh?
I have 3 plays that I really like today...
SD-9 (fav play)
Philly -3 (something tells me that they come back from a bye and blow out)
TB -3
~ also considering KC as a home dog again but would rather watch the 1H of that game to see if LJ can keep their O on the field the whole time...
I dont like the fact that I have 3 favs, especially one on the road, but I really like all 3 of these.

I am absolutely fucking DISGUSTED.....This had to be the WORST managed game EVER by Terry Francona!! Piss poor managing of his pitchers, especially the bullpen. I think he believed that his offense would come through and never imagined he would have to pitch Gagne in the 11th inning. Schilling shoud have been pulled sooner (look at the history, I am sure you all remember Jeters bomb a few months ago!!!). Why pull DelCarmen/Okajima/Timlin so fast????
The worst thing is.....Cleveland now knows they can win!! That is the scariest thing. Anyway, I'm done whining. We got to Fausto but we're beat by the bullpen!!!
Will do some serious looking into game 3.....Hopefully we get a nice line and can bang away!! 4-1 now, plus 7.4 Units!!
Split in my College picks earlier...LSU couldn't hang on in the first half!!
Onto SUNDAY!!!! 3 Plays for me.....
WASHINGTON +3 (Still not sold on the Pack)
NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS -3 (First Half) AND -5 (Game)
Pats are 5-0 SU and ATS. They are on-fire and dominating. Dallas coming off a shitty Mondy Night Game where Romo was exposed. He will get a worse beating from the New England "D". Let TO talk all the shit he wants about himself and his number and watch as MOSS does his talking on the field...This game will not even be close! Sure Dallas is undefeated (luckily I might add) but they are by no means comparable to New England!
GOOD LUCK BOYS!!!
PS Gagne Sucks!

Personally, I don't like chicago -5 at all.
They won last week because of Favre.
Minnesota has a good D, especially against the run.
If Chicago didn't beat Green Bay, this would be a pickem.
I'm taking the under because I just don't see how either team will score
