FUNNY QUESTION REGARDING "TOUTS"

TommyMullins · Mar 9, 2005

Very Curious To Read Everyone's Response To This Question: Of All The Stupid Phony Names Of Sports Touts ... Who Has The Dumbest?

My Vote Would Have To Go To Lawrence Prezman. Says He's The "president" Of The Company So He Calls Himself "prezman."

Oh God, the list goes on and on.

I love the guys that use VEGAS in their names, yet they have never set foot in the city.

NEVER pay for selections!

Many choose to use Italian sounding last names, btu my favorite 2 would be.........

"Dollar" Bill Johnson

And My all-time favorite......

Sonny Black (from Donny Brasco) Do you know how hard it must be to say my boss, Sonny Black, wants to speak to you.

Stu got his start selling concert tickets to high school students on Long Island, later graduated to mescaline, before finally going tout.

i'd be willing to bet almost every regular here has had a thought about what it would be like to sell their picks...

" if i could get X number of people to send me X number of dollars a month , i could make X "

Being a tout is all about selling hype. It is alot better to be a handicapper who gets paid based only on results. I think many people here have thought about it though.

World, you half the picture down.....you left out the "X dollars on side A & X dollars on side B" aspect.

If you're going to screw people like a stunt butt in deliverance, you gotta hedge.

TT- I know many people think that all touts do that (side), but I think most spread out the action on alot of games. Out of all the touts I know (many) I have never seen them side with regularity.

WorldNumberOne · Mar 9, 2005

i love the names they use for their selections..

spreitzer for example.

smashmouth
tko
ko
hammer games

top 3 could suck but he would tell you on tv how is hammer games are 8-0 ...

Interesting Ace.....I'm sure you are more familiar with them more than I.

I was just talking about the "optimum screw job" business model.

TT- I know that there are some out there that do it, but most of them that you see on TV or hear on the Radio are afraid that they will get caught and could be charged w/ fraud.

as someone who has called LOTS of scamdicappers i think i can chime in here

to me - it seems these are true of about 99.99% of all scamdicappers:

Italian - for they ALL seem to have last names that end with a vowel!

All of them have worked for the tout for a LONG time - many years - when in reality they are sales people who probably have been there less than 30 days

They ALL are VERY wealthy for they ALL play the games their scamdicapper gives out and since that scamdicapper hits 95% (in a bad week) they all are VERY rich

The ALL talk so fast that if they were in a car a cop would not only pull them over for speeding - he'd arrest them for driving over 100 MPH

The ALL want to work with me for the LONG RUN - NOT the short run

aceduecetrey · Mar 9, 2005

Well put Winky. You left out the one about how they always want you to keep your relationship a secret and not to let anyone know the game that they are giving you.

Anyone See That Pic Of The "cincinnati Kid" ... Looks Like An Acne-faced Photo Taken Of Larry's M.'s Son When He Was 11.

I'm going to chime in and ridicule the joke that is "Big Al" McMordie once again. First of all, the guy is NOT big. His analysis of games come from a computer program and are a joke.
