2009 HoopsEdge Service

HoopsEdge.com (established in 2008) is a sports handicapping service headed by Edward of Right Angle Sports with an exclusive focus on the first 10 weeks of the WNBA season. We do not handicap any other sports during this period.

First 10 Weeks Only: The 2009 service will run from June 6th to August 14th only.

Number Of Plays: We expect to release roughly 60-90 plays (5 to 10 per week), sides and totals combined, over the 10 week span.

Play Delivery: All plays will be released via new Pick Countdown Release Page at RASPicks.com, e-mail, and text message.
There will be a 10 minute advanced warning notice sent via e-mail and text message before release of any play. We advise using the Pick Release page to access picks whenever possible as e-mail and text messaging are not always prompt and reliable. Delivery methods are subject to change at any time due to market conditions.

Release Times: We expect to release plays between 8:00am and 9:30am Pacific on day of game. Uncommon situations will require release of certain plays later in the day. Most but not all sportsbooks will have WNBA lines posted at time of release. Please make sure that you will have access to WNBA lines during our release window. Projected release times are subject to change at any time due to market conditions.

No Write-Ups: To improve the efficiency of the service and preserve value of certain handicapping information (especially important in a league with only 13 teams), all HoopsEdge plays will NOT include write-ups.

Rating & Grading: All plays will be rated at 1 UNIT and released/graded with a widely available consensus line from major sportsbooks at time of release.

Full Transparency: All released plays will be automatically posted on the Pick Archive page of this website no later than 10 minutes after tip off of each play for monitoring purposes.

Closing Line Value & Line Movement: HoopsEdge plays beat the closing line nearly 90% of the time and by an average of 1.54 points per pick in 2008, indicating that subscribers almost always had the best of it.

IMPORTANT: It should be expected that lines on released plays will begin moving within seconds after release, particularly over/under plays. It is essential to optimize your pick delivery and wagering process for speed in order to take full advantage of this service. Failure to do so may result in placing wagers at lines different than what the service releases and grades with, thus losing value. We recommend experimenting with different sportsbooks (some move lines faster than others) and betting methods (phone/online) to see what works best for you. If you miss the initial line movement, it is usually best to wait until close to game time to wager as the line may move back in your favor.

After Subscribing: Once your order is received, you will receive login info for the Pick Countdown Release Page at RASPicks.com. You will also be asked to provide e-mail addresses and/or text message information and preferences.
