In many ways, your tout is your QB
Start the wrong one, and you get buried........
The funny thing is that it may well require more handicapping skills finding a winning tout than finding a winning bet! But once you find them, you are in a great situation.
I keep bringing up John Kelly, since his advice is free on the Stardust line, and he has consistently outperformed every guest on his program on the Stardust line with 1 exception. The Sunday night crew (Ron Frazier, Dave Cokin) has done great on their picks the last few years. Anyone not listening to the archives to get Cokin's 3 Bonus Plays Sunday night doesn't know what he is missing. Dave is over 60% I believe on these the last few years. Don't subscibe and pay $39 to anyone for 1 play. Listen for great free picks like this, and bigger bettors can find a good service and pay $2000 or less for the year.
Smaller bettors can find freebies everywhere. Here at therx.com we have many solid posters, I just don't know enough to recommend them. Back at sharpsportsbetting.com "Lawboy" seemed to always win year after year, and posted for free...........
