As you may have noticed, the forum was offline for a period. We identified a security incident to Sportsbook Review Forum and took the site offline as a containment step while we investigated.
We wanted to make sure the system and site were restored and secured before bringing things back online and you will see that we are requiring all forum users to reset their password as a precautionary step.

With all the damn tout services on the net I was curious to know how much money could these people actually be making? Anyone have a clue?

I receive a Dunkin Donuts iced coffee and a canned good of my choosing. I'm not sure if it's the money or the glamour that has attracted me all these years.

I just can't imagine anyone paying for picks.
I don't trust anyone that much. I am way too cynical to trust anyone enough to put MY MONEY on their opinion.

If their picks were good enough to sell, they wouldn't have to sell them. They could kill the bookies with the plays. Of course they aren't that confident in their plays, but they'll tell the fishes everything they want to hear.
Dunno what the typical tout makes, but some pull off the con/scam pretty good.

They're definitely making more money selling their picks than betting their picks, if they're stupid enough to bet them at all.
