Please put "pros" in quotes.
There isn't a tout in existence that is an actual sharp.
Sharps don't need to sell picks because they make a living winning their bets.
Take Pregame for instance. With the possible exception of Dave Essler, there is not one guy on the site that is positive units ($$$) for the year. They are just degenerate gamblers who spin their results and market their plays to other degenerate gamblers who are too lazy to handicap games for themselves.
