I posted this on another website, but couldn't get much of a response from anyone. So, I searched around and actually had not heard of SBR before, so hopefully I am not breaking any rules by posting this here.
I'm looking at purchasing a selection subscription from a sports advice website. It's for a sport I don't follow much, AFL, and being from North America, really why would I? The reason I'm looking into it is because the handicapper has a documented 130 unit season last year. I spoke to him by email and said 130 may be unrealistic this year, and that 80 is more a realistic goal. The same site has different guys doing different sports, each netting a fair number of units. The one that interests me more so is MLB so I can follow it, but I only just saw this one and haven't researched it yet. They are expensive. Huge drawback, so they have to be right if I'm to invest serious money in this.
I'm typically a $100 / game bettor, thats just because I don't trust myself - I could afford more. If I spent 3-4k on a package hoping ot see an 80 unit return or so, I would have to up my unit size three or four fold I would think to make it worth while. That in itself is a scary factor. Documented or not, it's still new and scary.
What are you experiences with sports advisors? After a good season, can they back it up again? Or do they just fall flat on their faces and we get more Brandon Lang stories. I don't want to hear any of those please, had one myself FML.
All of these guys seem so sleezy, and it's nearly impossible to find one that wins consistantly. This is why I went through one of these "documented picks" website, but now they cost roughly double what frauds like Brandon Lang do. Is it essentially a get what you pay for thing? I don't really know.
Anyone have any thoughts or experiences with all of this? Information would be appreciated.
