    How often do touts actually bet?

    And how much do they risk in each bet?

    They must bet sometimes. They all advertise that they bet themselves, and they’d be at risk of a false advertising lawsuit if it was discovered that they never actually bet.

    I think that touts probably bet on about half of their picks. However, they probably risk about $5 on each bet. Their real money comes from their subscribers.

    Haha. Is this a serious post?

    The fair answer is that Touts don't bet. If they could win, they wouldn't resort to selling picks. The touts w/ gambling problems...they probably do bet.

    Take it one step further. If u do find a GOOD tout (like Dave Cokin)...they will put at least a token-bet ticket on their play. That way, when they speak to their customer, they can legitimately say "Everything that I give out, I bet"...even if it's just a $22/20 bet.

    Why would they tout if they can pick winners? Like if I they are hitting 65% like they claim what's the need of selling picks? I would have bankrupted the books if I was hitting 65%.

    $20 parlay max bet for a tout and that’s when they’re really confident.
