Is the any really good and honest handycapping services out there?

Doesn't exist.

A few might hit 54% though.

jayc88 · 09-22-09, 12:41 PM

lol @ hitting 65 - 70 % consistantly ,
anyone who is claiming to hit at that rate is a fraud

Not much up for debate because if someone is actually hitting 65-70% they wouldn't need to sell anything.

RAS is the best one I know of.

patswin · 09-22-09, 01:20 PM

RAS and sportsmemo are good.

Kevin O'Neill has a good one also

If what you described existed, the "fair price" would be astronomical.

They're all scammers.

Brandon Lang, especially. He's down nearly 4000 Dimes since 2006 but you wouldn't know it by the few winners he keeps on his front page.

He is so awful, he had to scrap his YTD record because it was ALWAYS in the red. In 2007, he began his YTD record in FEB after the SB, claiming that he overhauled his ratings system (big fat lie). The real reason was that he lost nearly 500 Dimes in NFL playoffs in January and would've kicked off the year 400 Dimes in the red.

I don't know of a single tout that keeps an accurate long-term record because they are all losers in the long-run.

Never ever pay someone to pick your games. When you win or lose you must always allow yourself to look in the mirror.

Does anybody have any experience with Wager4profit ? Or BrettMaverickSports? Kelso or Bob Akmen? Is it possible that all those institutions are scams - meaning they are scamming their results or do not benefit their customers in a long run?

Don't pay for picks.

Period

The Gamblers Final Word blogspot.com has two to three handicappers that post there who are very good. Randizzle's record since I joined in early September has been fantastic. 23-8-1 on CFB & NFL. +129.5 UNITS. His POD'S have gone 38-10-1 last 49. The site recently hired WOW and Mr Headache who give out winners regularly on the Covers Forum. Worth checking out and for me am very satisfied with the results. I am a paid member since early September and have no financial interest in the site. I helped WOW and Mr Headache get positions there as handicappers because two of their former handicappers Mr Bator and NBA Guru were bad and they fired them.

Beat it, JimmyJet the shill.

This thread is better in promotions now that the morons are posting their dribble.

Brewdogmike · 09-23-09, 12:23 PM

If I could hit with 65-70% consistency I wouldn't tell anyone how I'm doing it. And I would be living large, like a James Bond supervillain.

CashMoney · 09-23-09, 12:29 PM

There's no reason to pay someone for their "opinion" on picks. If people can't make their own plays there is no reason to wager period. IMHO a good capper will hit between 52-55% on their picks. If anyone had the ability to hit between 65-70% during a full year there would be 100% no reason to sell picks. That person would be killing the books.........

People have prejudices about handicapper services but there's good services as well. Take a look at pointspreadpros, they're ranked top in NFL contest also..

sickler · 09-23-09, 12:31 PM

edit; wrong thread
