Hey guys, as the season progresses, it always seems to come down to having critical information at the right time.
For example, I remember back 07', my buddy was at the Emerald Bowl where Oregon State played Maryland. Prior to the game, I stayed in constant communication with him about the status of Oregon State's star running back whom was questionable for the game. He told me that the running back was warming up and practicing for the game. Oregon State was favored by 5 1/2. Having this information prior to the game, I placed the wager on Oregon State and they won 17-10, winning by 7 and covering by 1 1/2 points.
How many times have you made a bet only to find out that a star player was not playing in that game, unbeknownst to you? Or another time when a player that wasn't supposed to play, suits up and has a huge impact on a game? Or if a skill position player was playing well in warms up or the kicker was hitting all of his kicks, etc. Or the weather was humid or it started snowing, etc.
Wouldn't it be great if we could use Twitter and get live updates from people tweeting live from the game? For example, if Tim Tebow or Percy Harvin was injured and someone at the game was seeing them either warming up or not and how that person looked.
Collectively, as college football investors, we need to leverage these types of technologies to get a substantial edge in real-time from trusted sources. Imagine if we had reliable sources from around the country tweeting into a college football handle that we could all be following?
What are your thoughts about this idea? I found a college football handle on Twitter @: Lv_NCAA_FOOTBLL
If everyone thinks this is a good idea, we can start our own. What do you think about this idea? I'd like to know what you think are the pros and cons. Obviously, the first that comes to mind if we can trust and rely on the information that people are tweeting. What else?
