However, Nichols didn't follow up enough on how it is near impossible to follow Dr. Bob anymore and win. The lines move way too fast.

Fwiw, this isn't true. While it may be impossible to get Bob's picks at a good line with online sites

Yes, it is true.

It's not uncommon at all for many local books to not make any changes to their lines on Sat/Sun.

The picks are released on Thursday noon or so. They've moved the lines by then. I think you are confused.
Lines that only exist for 10 seconds after release, are not widely-available. Online of brick mortar.
They also demonstrated this live in Las Vegas. A subscriber walked from the back of the sports book once a key game was 'released' got in line behind 2 others, and they had already moved it a full point.
If a line moves faster than you can get in line, it's useless.

Looks like we're talking past each other. I'm not talking about the sports betting books in vegas, where I understand this is true. I'm talking about "underground" local books in every other city/college town outside of Vegas.
For example, early last week I was planning on playing OU @ -10. Dr. Bob releases them as a 4star on Thursday. One of my guy's original lines was OU -10, and it didn't change after Dr. Bob released his picks - it was still OU -10 on Saturday. Neither did the Texas Tech line, or any of his other plays.
