Do people actually make money selling picks? I have a hard time believing this is still a thing.

any capper out there who thinks they can pick winnners everyday is out of their damn mind.
i feel the demand for picks would be such that my people would be looking for plays from me every day.
but truth be told if you want to win in this business you must be selective and pick your SPOTS.
high volume guys hardly ever win long term. (except those with a model) and i don't mean the kind that you can fukk.

LT Profits is still in business. There is money to be made even for an average tout. You don't sell a pick. You actually sell a dream when you are a tout. Originally Posted by The Giant

uhhhhhhhhhhhhh........ yeah, take last years SUPERCONTEST winners, they just tried to sell me as they suddenly are tout just cuz they have a fluke season they'll never repeat! LMFAO i'd rather take the $600 and put it on the BJ table!
If you're interested in getting our picks for the entire NFL regular season, you can purchase an early-bird package directly through us for $600. We've partnered with (website) who will also be selling our package (they are currently charging $799 via the following link) as well as daily and weekly packages throughout the season (website)). However, if you wait too long, the price of the package will increase.
Let us know if you have any interest or any further questions.

I am starting a tout forum where members can purchase access to the whole forum for a fee.
Touts aren't allowed to edit posts in the forum. They must keep detailed records.
Haven't found a tout yet that will agree to my terms.
Wonder why??

you find 200 suckers to pay $500, that's $100,000. easy money.

Teddy Covers is rich, and hasn't had a winning season in anything in forever.
Indian Cowboy claims to be rich, and I honestly think he is.
It's not if you win or lose, it's all how well you're able to market yourself. Some just do it better than others. When you hit a streak, make sure EVERYBODY sees that shit. When you go cold, don't be as visible, say some nonsense like "I'm tweaking the algorithm" when you're really not, and wait for the next run so you can hype the shit out of that. Having a personality and being able to speak intelligently like IC and Teddy are pluses too.
It can be done. The want for passive income in a fun arena like sportsbetting will never go away, so the desire for an "expert" to guide them won't go away either.
Boiler room high-pressure goomba touts? They got about 5 years or so left IMO.

Yep.
I used to sell my MLB picks to some close friends in the form of they give me money at end of year after season was done. Don't sell picks anymore since $ is already good alone. Now post my plays on here as of a month ago
I do use a system so it's not just gut feeling(which is why there's a lot of losers)

Good post. And I totally agree, it's all about advertising and marketing. Being able to pick games correctly is way down the list of importance in money in this racket. Originally Posted by Ralphie Halves

I don't think I've ever been in that forum before. It seems surprisingly crowded. I can only imagine what it's like during football season. Looks like he's an expert at soccer, too. Good for him. Originally Posted by Ralphie Halves

Goes both ways. Easier to spread the word and get your name out to people via social media, easier for people to repost picks as they do in the service forum here.
-
08-05-15 04:51 PM #30
Not worth their time anyway. A very small percentage of potential clients even go that far to check out a monitoring service, so as a tout why risk your fake credibility in the process? Originally Posted by iifold

Also most touts give both sides to a game it is very very common practice
