    Knowing this guy, it's probably an advertorial.

        Pretty amazing people pay for his picks. Isn't he the guy that would take favorites and buy like three points paying like -200 juice?

        He had a good record but the juice was ridiculous...

        Anyway, I'm not hating on him because he is making money off of it. If people are stupid enough to pay for those picks so be it.

            This is a good example how to spot the scamdicappers. To be legit, all recorded bets must be to risk 1 unit to win x units. For example, a -110 line it would be risk 1 unit to win .91 units even if you bet varying amounts privately, publicly its always to risk 1 unit. Any other way, you are cheating and trying to pad your stats and skewing real world results.

            Thus, if ANY handicapper that says to risk more than one unit, has best bets, one star - five star picks, buying points, 60% win rates, etc are con men, pure and simple. It takes one to know one, Ive been conning people out of their money for longer than the majority here have been alive.

              Are you serious? Guy is making between 400k and a million just selling picks. Sounds like a nice life.

                  I never followed the guy. I checked into one of his threads like two years ago because his thread topics were something like "66% on the year 66-34 record YTD" or some crap like that.

                  After I saw his plays it was like

                  Heat -3...even though the line was -6
                  Thunder -5...even though the line was 7.5
                  Lakers -7...even though the line was like 11

                  He was basically buying a shit ton of points and paying like -180 or over -200 on a pretty consistent basis. That's when I laughed and quit paying attention.

                  It's not about your record. It's about profit. I also read somewhere that he did horrible last season.

                  With that said, if he is really making money selling those picks, more power to him.

                        No one should pay for anyone's picks in any sport. Period.

                              He would probably tout going 3-1 on -475 MLs....

                                I actually disagree with this. I use a tout for basketball, Football, and sometimes Hockey. I make my own picks with Baseball and Tennis. I just can't imagine Handicapping all sports, I just don't have that kind of time so I pay someone else to pour through the data and set the lines for me. Hes Private (Doesn't advertise or take in random clients) and Ive been using him for over ten years.He has earned me a consistent 10% return over that span.

                                For, me, the price is just a unit or less a season, so the return far exceeds the risk, but to a $100 better, the risk will probably exceed the value.
