    Is it taboo to pay for picks?
    Sorry don't flame me, I just want to know what's so bad about paying for winners? I've been wagering on sports less than a year and have been up and down. It seems people laugh at the idea of paying for winners. Why is that?

      Lets see, quick answer. Why the fukk would a winning gambler have to pimp his soul to become a lowlife con man hustling ppl out of cash?

      He wouldnt.

          If your 100 star BS lead pipe locks are hitting like you say, then again why the fukk would you need to do this?


          Because they are not hitting like they say, im sure there are some that are decent enough cappers that got hot and decided to start ripping off idiots (apparently you are among them). Maybe you will win some, prob not. either way you can find the same type of picks all over Forum world for free.

          I dont like this term but it no doubt works here better than most times it gets used on sbr, paying ppl for picks is most def -ev. You wanna gamble and start in the hole? sounds logical, cause it most likely where you will end anyway.

            in all seriousness bengals, there are a lot of handicappers that give out free picks who can run just as good as the ones who want u to pay for their picks. i mean its really a personal choice and what u feel comfortable doing. i would try to tail a few guys that give out picks for free and if it dont work out and will make u feel better to try paying for a few picks, then by all means do so. just make sure u get the right guys b/c unfortunately there are way too many scammers are out there just trying to steal your money. i personally would never pay for picks unless a guy was running like 80-90% over a large sample size

                  TheWoj is correct. You have to watch out for scams. How do you know the happers winning %? There used to be a guy in the papers - something duffy who would swear he would go something like 10-0 for free. the trick was that he would give people a free pick to sign them up. He was giving half the people 1 team and half the other, so the winning half would think he was great.

                          People who just want action and are too lazy/busy/dumb to cap for themselves probably don't mind paying someone who does spend the time.

                          The rest of the buyers just get sucked in by the idea of free money I think.

                            they all suck and dont win long term, which is why they need your $20 to pay the bills.

                              like i said just be careful and do whatever makes you feel comfortable. dont let anybody talk you out of or into anything you dont wanna do.

                              remember one thing though, when following someone else compared to following yourself, in past experiences to me it seems more frustrating when you lose if it was b/c you used someone elses picks other than your own

                                Its not a taboo but it is flat out stupid

                                Add up anyone's picks and they ed up losing

                                Go on any tout site and every one of them say they win

                                They are the biggest scum and white trash on the earth

                                            Do you pay for someone to tell you where is the cheapest gas station in town? If yes then you need to pay for picks.

                                              The people who sell picks lose, best to just fade the worst of them in the Service forum.

                                                  If you can't pick your own games you shouldn't be gambling. Do yourself a favor and quit now before you bury yourself.

                                                      I would answer your question, but you'll have to pay me first. Don't worry though, my answer is 90% correct.

                                                        Some of the dudes here are pretty good to follow, just as good/bad as a tout.

                                                          He wouldnt.
                                                          Quick answer, cause there are so many people who want to play but have no clue and a sucker is born everyday. A tout can make easy money and unlimited amount of income and not have to worry about casino's limiting his action or paying the juice when he loses.

                                                          Who wouldn't rather make easy money instead of grinding out a profit?

                                                          I don't use tout's but I don't think negative of those who do or the tout's themselves for getting the most and doing the least.

                                                          I do have a problem with those tout's who work both sides of the games and I am sure there are more of them than fewer.

                                                            Well there would be nothing wrong with paying for winners but most of the time you are getting losers

                                                              Paid a guy and followed him for 3 seasons of NASCAR, Golf & MMA picks a few years back. Won a lot each year (even with what I paid him). Don't follow either sport & was happy to have found him.
