I've never paid for a pick in my life. It's possible to win but touts aren't going to do it.
"It's possible, just not touts."
I rest my case.

Look bro. They're in the business of selling picks. They will give 25% one side, 25% other side, 25% the over, and 25% the under. The rest of it is bullshit. Can these guys cap and win in real life outside of the tout service? Of course they could, but they won't be giving any of their "clients" those picks or info.

Not at WT. Some of you guys are living in the past. Sure, back we you placed your bet at the bowling alley through a local named Vinny, there were hotlines where snake oil salesmen would pitch both sides, but that business model doesn't really work in the information age.

I haven't checked in on the tout world since I was in HS, but that was a long time ago. So, I really wouldn't have a clue these days what's going on. That last fun I had was calling Chuck Luck's hotline and fading his picks. I made a lot money fading McDowell. Every time I had the opposite side of him I loaded up. And my gosh, the laughs alone from listening to that moron were worth their weight in gold. I've never laughed harder in my life than hearing those messages.

Doesn't work anymore? Look at all the people who sell their picks, seems to be working just fine.

I don't think you're following. You really are drunk, huh? Name checks out.
The business model of giving both sides of the game and claiming to be a "winner" to 50% of your clientele doesn't work in this day and age, at least not with any high profile source. The WT roster adheres to company protocol. They're all transparent.
You're just ranting at this point. You don't like people who sell picks, we get it. That doesn't mean they're all illegitimate.

I'm not talking about giving both sides, I'm talking about scamdicapping; they're alive and well and every one of them are illegitimate. As I stated previously, if you think one of them is legit then start a thread and track their picks.

And like I said, you weren't following. You can go review the dialogue yourself or you can keep going off the tracks, but it's not my job to hold your hand and guide you through the discourse.

Review what dialogue, the crap you get from websites like covers and wagertalk? You're a fool if you believe their garbage.

No, the dialogue between myself, hehfest, and then you. That's where you lost the plot.
It doesn't really matter though, you're just ranting.
I'm sorry that Wayne Allyn Root touched you in your pants at the Stardust in the eighties.

Probably an old debt he couldn’t pay for, so he had to pay for it with violence that’s how they did it back in the day.

I lost nothing; you think touts can win, I don't and you're wrong. Now go subtly tout your picks to someone else Mr. Root.

So you called a 1-800 number in your drunken, degenerate stupor and got fleeced outta your last 20 dollars.
Boo hoo hoo!

Called a tout line once, they said give me a number and we'll call you back, I told them give me the pick now, they refused, I said fukk you and hung up. You probably remember me, don't you fool?

Of course you did. I called it many posts ago. You got hoodwinked by some fly by night charlatan and now you're butthurt for life.

Didn't get scammed at all; as I stated previously, I've never paid for a pick in my life.

You got scammed and then touched in your pants before #metoo was a thing you could fall back on.

Nah, women don't touch dish rags like yourself.
You were touched by a hairy Italian arm that you owed money after you called a burner number and paid for picks.

I think selling picks as a tout is a sign that you don't believe in yourself as a winning gambler. If I have confidence in myself that my picks are good I wouldn't have to sell them. I will be going from book to book with my cash and placing winning bets everyday.

Well why would I ask anyone anything about something they don't remember?
I'm beginning to understand how some low-rent pick peddler took you to the cleaners and tickled your berries to boot.

I didn't categorically state I believe in anything. One size doesn't fit all, it seldom does.
What I do believe is that you're being emotional and irrational.
So to answer your question, if anyone here got scammed and tickled it was definitely you.
