            The only reason to subscribe to touts is to get the best number. If you are a big time pro it is in your best interest to subscribe to top tout services volume wise because it will save you so much money

              I know a group of "Computer Nerds" but they don't have a website or sell "Picks" with rates...Personally I wouldn't buy subscriptions, not for a day, week etc... Imagine, the Picks lose now one would be out Twice...Guys, I work with developed this for themselfs, I was introduced by a close friend, I offered to give them a % Keep It Simple, If they get "Book to pay me (Which They Always Do) then and only then, I'm I happy to give a % the way a personal $ manager opperates.To Me That's The ONLY Way. I do share these, for free here and other place and friends etc.. and after a week or so, Most offer me a $, % but I never ask, don't have to, it's only natural for "Good Folks" to recipericate. WOW, so dos that mean I'm a "Tout" lol gee I really hope not, they have such a bad rep. anyway,it shouldn't be that way, but I guess "They" did it to them selfs. So my point is, tell them % IF, their any good they should Not have any issues, working off profits only. BOL ... and there is nothing wrong with hirering professionals, to do various things for you, that what smart people do...

                    Instead of following a handicapper try this method. I have used it every football season and always make profit.

                    I find a friend at work or whatever that thinks he is an expert at sports. I give him the lines and tell him to pick me 3 games each weekend. I don't tell him I am doing this but I bet the opposite.

                    The lines are set up for people like this to lose. you are more likely to find a loser than a winner. If you can use matchbook or a reduced juice book you stand a chance to make a profit.

                    Try it I am dead serious. You don't have to cap you just fade the know it all. But you have to put the pressure on him like you are really making the bets.

                      There is a bookie I know about an hour away who subscribes to a handicapper at Donbest and I swear the man does great. He bets them all straight and parlays them up as well in different groups. He has won a ton while making a real nice living booking as well. I do not know who the handicapper is because he will not tell anyone that I know of. Not even his closest friends. There are good ones out there who will do you well. That is certain. A lot of scammers as well which skewes the opinions, kinda like politicians.

                            know http://www.handicappingreviews.com/ and http://www.handicappingpolice.com/ are scams but for the most part the rest of the monitors are legit right??? It would seem so. Has anyone proven trackpicks.com to be illegitimate? If anything I see the touts complaining that they are inflexible and such. So I say if you can find someone on a legit monitor that has been good for a long time or maybe to take an idea for someone else possibly to find a terrible tout and bet the opposite. Anyways the point is that you can't make such a blanket statement. I say if a guy is monitored he can't be cheating and if the monitor was illegimate we would see it here.

                              There are more than Dr Bob.

                              People won't tell you who they are.

                                If you look around you can find alot of the service plays posted on online without paying for them...Very few move the lines significantly (Dr. Bob is only I've noticed... not that I watch particularily close) and even if they could provide constent winners you would have to betting pretty damn big to make up the added juice of the plays you are paying for insigificant to your bet size...

                                    the one I was aware of was in therx's forum... not sure if it there is anymore and, when I last looked at it, it was mostly just the picks without writeups...
