Rick Torino's Rating System
Pretty simple really. Like many others on this site I like the "dime" rating system. It's easy to understand and it puts plays in perspective.
The high point of the scale is a 100-dime release. Obviously they don't come along every single day. My goal (and the goal of any self-respective handicapper) is to make money over the long haul, consistently churning out a profit. It's all about management from a financial perspective.
When I'm releasing 50- or 75-dime plays they aren't to be ignored. Instead, their strength has to be considered relative to what type of roll I'm on at that moment and the size of my bankroll heading into the contest. Never lose sight of the fact that it's all perspective when it comes to rating plays.
Who is Rick Torino?
Sports and gambling; they go hand-in-hand.
I played them all growing up. I covered them all as a journalist. I've bet them all as a gambler.
I bring a unique perspective to being a handicapper: I was a College & Pro Football Editor at a national sports wire service for nearly 10 years. I coordinated all of our draft coverage for a decade, but my responsibilities didn't end when the season did. I also used my sources and contacts to compile the injury reports (for all sports) that sportsbooks in Vegas and bookmakers everywhere relied on in the days before leagues and teams were so forthcoming with such info.
This is the first time I've made my plays available anywhere. And this is the ONLY place you'll find them. Just one play a day.
