    Who are these guys w/ the front page picks?
    I obv know LT profits, but who are the other guys. Do they post their records? Who pays them? What did they do to post their picks on the front page?

    LT is a good writer, but the rest are all losers. Don't subscribe to their picks or waste time tracking them, if they were that good they wouldn't sell anything.

      They never post their records unless it's a winning record or they only post their recent record if they've been hot.

        Nothing better than when you love a game and see one of these guys on the front page saying the opposite of what you think. Then you know you have a winner, I always bet double when this happens for me

          They come from various sites and are susceptible to hot and cold streaks like anyone else, at least that's my observations. Marc Lawrence has been doing it for 30-odd years. Brian Gabrielle has been very good with his NASCAR and PGA offerings.

          The 'fade the cappers on the front page and win every pick' notion is not true. For instance, anyone who has been fading Jimmy the Moose's NHL picks this month has lost a lot of money.

            I think that's mainly stated for effect.

            I wouldn't advise people to back or fade any tout, especially based on recent results. Players should just focus on their own handicapping and lineshopping. If they're the kind of gamblers who don't have the time to put in the legwork themselves, and are approaching sports betting as strictly entertainment with no method behind it, I think you're better off flipping a coin than paying for a service + still paying the juice.

              They post both sides of picks at different places. I wouldn't trust any of the picks.

                            The picks can be good sources of info especially for those searching for info on a specific game. Your best bet is to base your pick on angle you think is not already in the line and spend the time shopping for the best odds.
