Also had something to do with a convicted bank robber if I remember right. I think RAS Ed was selling his picks to said bank robber a few minutes before release, and the bank robber started selling them himself? Something like that. Ed has owned up to it and didnt seem to think it was a big deal. Depends how you look at it. I can see both sides; on one hand its technically stealing. You dont pay all that money for a service expecting that the plays are secretly getting released right before you get them. So he was I guess stealing a tiny bit of EV from everyone every release.
On the other hand, that EV that hes "stealing" was only there in the first place because of him. And RAS certainly does win. Theyre expensive and getting down at their number is almost impossible, but they do beat the close and they do win and they keep really good records, as far as I can tell. Someone might point out a record keeping error here and there over like a 6 year period, but overall I would say theyre an honest and up front operation. I can certainly see the other side of the argument though, what with the bank robbing stuff and such.
You can do a lot worse than RAS if youre going to pay for picks anyway, but I dont think anyone should pay for picks in the first place.
