Remembering Charlotte Sports from Covers circa 2013

Question

There used to be a poster named  "Charlotte Sports" on Covers circa 2013.This guy was a bowl game legend -only did bowl games.  60-65% winners every year.   Actually moved some numbers at some books I was told. Then he went pro.  Turned tout.  60% turned into 45% overnight and this was on full season bets, not just bowl games.  His customers took a huge bath.  He cost them 1000s and they paid him for the privilege of helping enrich a few more offshore books. He disappeared and never came back under the name Charlotte Sports again. Curious if anyone remembers him or if anyone could substantiate the numbers I posted above.

&#xA; &#xA;It matters because it is an example of randomness being mistaken for cause and effect.&#xA;Humans see patterns of cause and effect because that&#x27;s what we are wired to see.&#xA;It matters in capping because it is easy to think a set of factors or stats or anything else is due to cause and effect.  But often, just due to random variance&#xA;in less than optimum sample size&#xA;That&#x27;s why it matters.  Maybe not to you.  But certainly to people who use numbers in their capping strategies

Well you&#x2019;re incorrect on the &#x201C;only&#x201D; bowl games part. He did regular season and NFL. He did go tout (with a partnership with BigEastExpert) and although he may have hit 45%, BigEast pulled through to make a profit. I can&#x2019;t confirm your numbers bc it&#x2019;s been a few years but I don&#x2019;t recall &#x201C;taking a bath&#x201D; that year, much less a huge one.
