Cannot believe how many post and seem to believe in this garbage. Does the fact that a person is now picking as a tout rather than a poster change the quality or outcome of that person's plays? Absolutely not. Is there a causational link between going tout and losing? No.
This "tout jinx" or "tout curse" is really regression to the mean more than anything and I never see anyone post that. It's simple. When do people go tout? When they are in high demand, after a killer season where they hit 70%+ over a statistically insignificant number of games. Can anyone hit 70%+ long-term on sides or totals in a heavily bet sport? No, not at all. The fact that they suck afterwards is just statistical bounceback after their anomalous streak.
