Gives lines from places he doesn't bet at

Bets at most $10-$20 a game... yet charges $29 for the pick

Calls others "Losers" because they don't give write-ups and/or have top viewed threads

When confronted about how good he is, he wont accept a challenge from a non-tout

Is down 24 units already for the MLB season (betting 1 unit per game with an outstanding 43% winning record)

forcing bettors to bet more than they can afford while creating unrealistic expectations...

Is that a common practice among touts? Or is it just something a select few do over and over again?

well with the phone ones who pound 2000 numbers I believe it is.

For example:

1000 Team A / 1000 Team B = 1000 people 1-0
500 Team A / 500 Team B.

then you have 500 guys 2-0 and they might pay for a pick.. might not.. give 250 of them Team C and 250 Team D... you have 250 guys 3-0.. might pay for picks.. 125 Team A 125 Team B......4-0 / etc

before you know it you have 10 or so guys who are like 7-0 and they think you are the mafia of sports picks... even the 6-1 / 5-2 guys will love ya probably(about 50-100 of them).. its all a scam of course.. they hit up a new 1000 numbers every week in this gig I am sure.

Coming former tout, the worst thing one can do is win....

Make a believer out of you and then the next thing that happens is greed sets in and you are tapping the kids college fund.

possibly.. for sure with us who visit forums/etc maybe.. but we are in the small minority of bettors.. there is hundreds of thousands upon thousands of people who have never been to a forum nor even bet online.. so they more than likely dont read past espn nor heard all of the GOY lock of my life shit.. lol :):)

Why don't touts just open a website, and don't charge for picks.... but have a "Donate" type button where you can throw them a few bucks for their hard work if you like their plays.

Wouldn't that be more profitable?

Just thought of the Poker Tournament we just had lmao..... Donating to a good cause and we barely filled a table....

I think sports bettors are some of the cheapest bastards now lol... so I don't think the donate to a touts website would work

people are cheap and most would continue to just take the picks and run even if they were winning.

EZWinners does this, I follow his picks time to time... I think he had a donate button up for several months. He evenutally send out an email after winning 4 straight months saying all he collected was $105 and I gave $55 of that...

they would rather nail the suckers before they show how they are joe average 50-50 over 100 games bud..

during that time they might get less poor saps but they already got them no matter what record they end with

Murph- guess that would work in theory, we NEVER sided, but the likelyhood of getting enough players on games is not there. At one point in 2002 and 2003 we were in 80 markets with a 1 hour radio show and spent 40k a week and I can tell you I never had more than 25 people (non-clients) on games.

Gamblers in general are not honorable people and they would never just donate.

I guess I am one of the select few who donate what I can when something good comes my way. Karma and "paying it forward" has always paid off for me.
