DOC'S BIG GAME - This is a NEWS story?

sd2 · Nov 11, 2005

Major U.S. dailies have had their probs in recent years, but neither they nor any other good journalisitic endeavor runs press releases disguised as stories.

I've seen it often in the little shopper weeklies - so-called restaurant reviews, for instance, that are just ads in camouflage.

Those publications have the credibiility they deserve.

Some of the articles headlined by Rx are very good, others just so-so. But all that I've read over the past few years seem to have been expressive of the writer's opinions - they weren't promoting anything.

The Doc's story was clearly written by someone from Doc's, to promo the sale of their selection on their Big 10 game of the year. It should have been labelled an advertisement.

Slippery slope stuff, guys.

And from what was posted last weekend, the two guys who made Doc's GOY record took off and formed ASA and have run off eight or nine straight GOY picks. Doc's have gone down the crapper as many times as they've won lately.

The original Doc used to get great information on the Big 10 and it was always a good idea and profitable to take a look at his Big 10 selections. He was located in Wisconsin, but he sold his business about 8 years ago and since then the services insights on the Big 10 are no better than anyone elses. Their GOY record has been horrible.

Right on the money! He was 'supposedly' very tight with Barry Alvarez! LOL!

Doc was good 15 years ago when he had good contacts. Those days are long gone. Stay as far away as you can from Doc. He's flipping coins now.

Doc's was never sold. The same guy has owned it the entire time they have been in business. Doc's first name is Mortey. I forget his last name. His run he had on his Big 10 Game of the Year was the most increddible run in the history of college football. He hit that game 19 years in a row. Ever since his streak ended (about 10 years ago) the game has hit at a clip of 50% or less. It is true that the two guy's that had a lot to do with the success of his service left him and have been running a very respectable and honest service the last 9 years. Last weekend they improved their Midwest Game of the Year record to a perfect 9-0. When it comes to Top games in college football nobody is better than ASA. Their record this season is 7-1 in top games in college football. They put out one top game a week. They are not scandicappers like Brian Mac who puts out several top plays a week. These guy's are honest and documented. In my opinion the only reason Doc is still in business is his reputation from his days when his Big 10 GOY was so succesful. Doc makes all his money these days by advertising for sports books. He must get a kick back from at least a half dozen sports books. While he does not lie about his record his picks as Chuck Sims pointed out are nothing more than a coin flip. His Big 10 GOY tomorrow will probably be on Wisconsin. If not Wisconsin it will be Minnesota. (Just my opinion). Good luck Doc. I hope you hit it.

I always find it a little weird when a book hooks up with a tout..There was another book that did this..I just can't remember who right now..Anyone remember?

From what I have been told when you sign up with a book and tell them you were refered by a tout the tout gets a % of whatever you lose to the book.. Anybody else know if this is how it works?

That's how it works. Touts leading the sheep to the slaughter.

Lovely system, don't you think?

PCT of What They Lose

Not only a PCT of what they lose but also an initial amount based on how much they post up.

His name is Morey Mosner. It seems like ever since he climbed in bed with Vegas, his picks on the GOY have gone to shit.

I agree. He's making a lot of money these days but it's not because of the success of his picks. He even has a boxing service now. He deffinately knows how to market.
