claim you have a system that utilizes a complicated mathematical formula, such as XYZ = ABC
begin posting in the sports forum using lines that are most beneficial to you (whether the line comes from a legitimate book or from the funny pages of your hometown paper, it's all up to you!), and ensure that you take 1 out of every 5 losses and credit it as a win. at this point, you should have a few followers.
once you get busted for posting false or misleading information, threaten to take your act elsewhere. this will cause your followers to defend you against all comers and give you an idea of which suckers you can expect to pay you.
keep insisting that this is experimental and you are fine tuning this excellent system for the next sport season about to kick off. that way, you give them even more to look forward to and also cover your ass just in case your picks start sucking.
once you are certain you have a few followers in your thread who are willing to shell out a few hundred bucks, let it be known that you are now charging. it is important to do this as quickly as you can, because the suckers will soon be broke.
it's really that easy

1. Do not listen to sarcastic how to accomplish something by being dishonest recommendations.
2. Learn how to handicap your sport of choice from the ground up. There are many worthwhile how to handicap publications available at places like The Gamblers Bookstore's website in Las Vegas or on Amazon.Com's books website and other places on the www. Learn how to use the Internet with a high level of ability, it is your best friend in many businesses.
3. Once you feel you have a legitimate idea on how to (after a lot of hard work) actually pick more winners than losers find somewhere on the Internet where your plays can be legitimately monitored. Use Google to find a reputable monitoring site and pay to be monitored, this will give you credibility. Sure you can use the forums but do not let yourself get sidetracked by other posters, at The Rx.com The Tracker Forum is an excellent place to have your plays monitored free. Remember crap in crap out. There are no shortcuts into becoming a winning handicapper.
Handicapping for your friends who will swear you hit 70% in College Football last season is not going to help. You need an unbiased monitoring service where you submit your own selections well before post time using widely available lines to make a rightly deserved reputation.
4. Raise enough funds to open your own website in which you can create an identity for yourself, there is nothing wrong with your own name but something slightly different is not the end of the world as long as you stay honest and hard working even when you lose.
Be prepared to spend some of your bankroll on advertising and search engine placement where prospective clients can check you out. I want to impress upon you again the importance of honest accurate record keeping. Once you start to go dishonest with your record of released plays then you IMHO are on the road to becoming just another scamdicapper and wasting your time and effort not to mention money as it will catch up to you sooner of later.
5. Learn how to write legible and easy to understand reasons why you like a side. Long multi page novels are not necessary but a well written detailed analysis of your plays will go a long way in establishing credibility as a reliable handicapper.
6. Be yourself and not "Pure Gold Handicapping" or any other such unprofessional name. Never use terms like lock, guaranteed, can't lose etc as everyone loses, including yourself. Some just not as often as others.
7. When or should I say if the day ever comes that you have actual clientèle that believe in your abilities make sure you are always straight with them by letting them know there are no guarantees EVER and Rome was not built in a day. Develop long range plans to help you turn a paying customer from a a total square into a sharp bettor who only bets on games where there is value in the number you use when releasing a play. I recommend a mindset of using a business model that is based on turning stone cold squares into savvy value seeking players.
8. Devote some of your time with your clientèle into correct money management. Should you go on a losing streak never ask a client to press in hopes of getting his loses back overnight. Never offer that 100 Star get rich quick selection. When losing reduce your units and slowly work to get back on a steady but reasonable win %. Back off when losing and press slightly when winning.
Forget about ever sustaining over 55% winners long time. A good capper who keeps an honest record year in and year out will earn his money by turning a helpless loser into a player who has a chance (key word chance) to show a modest profit at the end of a season once in a while.
9. Forget about gimmik betting, learn to handicap sides and maybe totals until you feel confident enough to identify rare props that contain value. The only way to do this is to get the information edge on bookmakers, no easy accomplishment but one that can be done if you limit your area of expertise to a very select few types of props. Women's Tennis, or a specific conference in college hoops for example. Make sure your client only risks a small percentage of his bankroll on these type of wagers. Sports books pay their bills with these parlays and if bets etc.
10. While I have just scratched the surface with the advice above, nothing can is more important than hard work and honesty if you want to actually have a chance to become a real professional handicapper who sells his know how to gamblers who are willing to pay a reasonable fee to at least have a fighting chance to not get buried year after year betting on their own.
Do I recommend anyone pay a so called "Tout" for picks? No I don't, I would rather see a bettor learn how to become a competitive handicapper using their own brains and hard work but the vast majority of sports bettors out there either don't know how, don't have the time, or even if they did have both, lack the discipline to do what it takes to become a sharp bettor. That is where an honest tout can help.
In those cases if they can find that rare beast - an honest hardworking affordable tout such as the late Bob McCune then IMO they are better off either quitting the game or spending the extra money to a tout that will actually improve their win percentage long term and offer them a fighting chance at winning now and then.
Best of luck, wilheim

The most common and sure-fire method of becoming a tout is to die from a tout bite. The sanguinary bite (or "kiss") of a tout is its method of perpetuating its breed, and those rising from the dead to become tout are subject to the will of the tout that originally bit him/her.
The bite of the tout is usually detected as two small but swollen puncture wounds in the wallet area; often referred to as "the Seal of Lang". Most touts prefer to attack victims of the opposite sex.
Touts do not necessarily kill their victims; it seems that they need a relatively small amount of money daily from their victims. Being evil, most touts take pleasure in killing their victims, justifying their act by the desire to remain secret or to save their victim’s soul from being damned.
If the victim is not killed, he/she will turn into a tout within 2 to 7 days (varying according to the stories). The master will then initiate the newborn tout until he can survive by himself. The victim must drink the blood of the tout. This is the act that van Helsing calls 'the tout's baptism of blood.’ Once the victim has swallowed the tout blood, the victim dies as for a poison to reborn as a tout.
The victim is under the mental domination of the master tout and can only exert an independent will during the daylight hours or when the master tout consciously releases his control. Only the death of the master tout can free the victim from its curse and only if he has not killed to sustain his blood feed.

1. Have no morals or regard for human life
2. Repeat #1 until you are blue in the face
Honest touts usually get nothing, the corrupt ones become famous and rich
On a side note, I don't condone this at all. I dislike touts with a passion. But it's my nature to say 'good luck'
Here is how you should treat your workers:

Here is a little tout 101:
Get a list of 100 people that bet anywhere between $50 and $1000
Call 50 of them and give them Broncos.........Call the other 50 and give them Raiders. Have a half decient shpiel about you "system" and how you are going to give them winners all season.
Clearly 50 people are going to be happy with you. You gave them a winner.
Of those 50 people, call 25 the next week and give them Cheifs, call the other 25 and give them Chargers.
Again, 25 people are going to be happy with you. You gave them 2 straight winners.
Go ahead and repeat........12 and 13 for the next weeks game of the week. Church it up and call it a 5 DIAMOND PICK. Something uber gay that shmucks eat up.
12 people are going to be LOVING you at this point.
Up to this point you have made no money. But things are about to change.
You call those 12 people and tell them that this pick is going to cost money. Be is $100 or $10,000.....it doesnt matter. You are pulling it out of your ass anyhow. Stay on top of the bullshit and make sure you lay it on thick how great you are at picking winners. After all......you have given them nothing but winners up to this point.
Win, lose.......it doesnt matter. If they have stayed on board with you up to this point they clearly suck at life. You get paid and might get to take them for a ride next week!!!

That's exactly what most of them do.
200 people to start with, give 100 one side, give the other 100 the other side.
The 100 that the right side will be back again, the 100 on the wrong side will be offered a free week of services.
When you do get down to the final 25, the one's that miss, will be 4 and 1 with the tout and will more than likely be back.
