That's one reason that I'm not keen on blindly following any system without analysis. If the fundamental underpinnings start changing, you'd want to re-evaluate the system before you get sucked in to a long-term losing trend that has changed.

As to what may be your main point, Performify, do we stop sharing information, at least publically? I can't believe that our 2+2 discussions resulted in this:

This trend was published in two major general interest publications this year.

This alone may have been enough to kill the trend.

The combined weight of the semi-literate betting public moved the value out of these unranked teams thru the publication of our "system".

I'm sure you are saying that others have also known about this trend and figured it out on their own (though it may be good for NoChance's ego to think that he is the master of the NCAA universe [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] )

I think the books have some of the best resources to pick up trends, since that's what they do for a living. Hopefully, they may not be able to do that much about it, due to public betting patterns.
