Just curious because most guys that sell their picks are utter garbage. You see regular people in forums here who do a better job at picking games. More than just a couple. Maybe these guys don't care because they don't really bet or know they will rake in the money so it is not important to win. Just a thought. I would trust the information and picks I get here over 99.9% of cappers you would pay for
As a person who does sell my NFL plays, Ive never had any issue nor complaints. I work just as hard cause I have a stake in them as well, I guess it just depends on the handicapper, while most want you to pay over and over again, or offer flashy "Lock of the decade monster play of yesteryear" BS just to sell them to you. I think I am the only one that charges a flat fee and get them forever year after year, no hype or bs. And to add that I give them my personal cell phone as an easy way to reach me anytime to talk about any games I didnt give out, or just to shoot the shit.
But, thats just my opinion.
I agree with what you are saying however me personally I dont always have the time to read through all the threads and make a decision. Money management and addiction are two of the biggest problems going against the every day gambler. Do i have the discipline to play one two maybe three
games a week or do i need action every day. like any business your going broke if you aint turning a profit. I personally have only payed one tout here
ever personally and have done very well the problem is my love of the action has offset my winnings he has made me. I believe there are good services out there as there are terrible ones just like anything else. At the end of the day if your gambling popcorn money then loosing is no big deal but if your risking money that matters to you, you have to take a good look in the mirror and calculate how much time you put in every day and what its costing you to come to the conclusion if what ever you are doing is worth it.Last 12 weeks of nfl i broke completly even in nfl following cappers here.
lost 5k on my hockey which i stopped . The amount of time i have put in has been endless so moving forward i would prefer a service to try and see if time i spend i spend capping is reduced limit myself to fewer games and see if the dollars and quality of life move in my favor.
They aren't +EV bettors, thus their picks don't win.
You would need a large sample size to determine if someone had an edge in sports betting based on just their record though.
If you heard them speak on the subject matter and analyze specific teams/games and what they said was consistently happening then you could possibly determine they have an edge that way as well. Although it is a lot more subjective and would require you to also have a pretty good knowledge of the sport in question.
There is unfortunately quite a bit of bad baggage with sports handicappers. The number of scams that they have run and continue to run makes it worse.
There is probably a definite place in the market for good honest handicappers that can produce more winners than losers. It is worth money for good picks.
From the handicappers standpoint it probably doesnt matter what you do ..... at the end of the day the average client figures out a way to lose money. You give 3 picks in the NFL and go 3-0. No pick on Sunday or Monday night game. Client feels good about winning. Ups his bet and loses both games and at the end of the week is down money. From a business standpoint there is pressure to release plays on big TV games because the clients want that even though they dont really like that game. Lastly in their defense the internet has tons of free information. Their potential client base gets reduced when sites like this post their plays for free.....basically stealing someone else's work.
One problem from a customers standpoint is you have no idea how he is making his selections. Something changes in their life and they dont spend as much time researching their picks and you have no idea.
If there was a service that could consistently pick more winners than losers it would be silly not to buy their service if you could bet and win more than you paid for the service. The hard part is finding that service. I can only recall a few that seemed to be able to win consistently and even the best ones would struggle at some point.
The best handicapper I ever saw in any sport was Underdog in football. I used to say he has the last 3 letters wrong because he was just under god in picking games. There is still a service called this but the rumor is the original Underdog died probably 20 years ago. No good way to verify it either.
Its a one time fee, and yes its forever... have had people with me from the start in 2013 going on this fourth season. I only do the NFL, so its not year round plays. Can always message me here, or call/text me or email me Proxy@ProxyVegas.com
