Right Angle Sports is a public American tipster[2] that advises sports bettors on which teams to bet on. A sports information service makes predictions on the outcome of a sporting event by predicting the relationship of the true probabilities to the payout odds and recommends to their clients which games to then place a bet on.
American college football and basketball
Commonly known as "RAS"[1] in the sports betting industry, Right Angle Sports specializes in handicapping college football [3] (refers to American football played by American collegiate athletes) and college basketball [4] (refers to basketball played by American collegiate athletes). RAS makes predictions on both sides (known as betting against the spread where one team must not necessarily win the game, but cover the point spread to win your bet) and totals where two teams' combined points must finish over or under a given number.
RAS initially gained notoriety[5] for their success in the college football and college basketball[6] totals markets[7] and has since proven successful with sides. Due to their success and large following, their predictions have substantial influence[8] on the various sports markets they participate in. When RAS releases a pick to subscribers, line movement can instantly[9] be seen at major online sportsbooks or live odds services.[10]
From August 2009 to January 2014, RAS compiled a documented win rate of 56.19 percent in college basketball (1,459 plays) and 59.38% in college football (352 plays).[11] All plays Right Angle Sports releases are displayed on their Pick Archive no later than 10 minutes after game start time for full transparency. Right Angle Sports used a 3rd party documenting service the Sports Monitor during the 2007-08 college basketball season [12] and Track Picks during the 2008-09 college basketball season.[13] Right Angle Sports was named the "Best Professional Handicapper" for college basketball during the 2008-09 season on Trackpicks.com, determined by most units earned.
RAS focuses on teams in the smaller Western conferences[14] such as the West Coast, Big West, Mountain West and Big Sky conferences.[15]
