    wait a minute John, are you schilling your soon to be tout service here. you know thats a no,no



    but seriously, as a person i'm sure there all good people, but from a tout standpoint. i don't really care for them.


    i believe it was just last season, where phil steele became the #1 forum fade. as far as marc lawerence goes. well, 2 years ago his playbook selections were hitting at roughly a 38% clip.

        I have SELDOM had a losing season in ANY sport for the past 20+ seasons.

        Been doing this for a lot of years....more than most actually.

        Many of my selections can be found on the internet.

          Not a tout though and share opinions, leans, and actual plays free of charge.

          If I can't help my freinds for free, not your friend.

            Like ATLANTA HAWKS this evening at +10 for two units.

            This line has gone down though, but still +9.5's to be had and possibly +10 with free half point promos at various sportsbooks(Skybook for one).

                John--

                Always love the STEELE and LAWERENCE publications........as well as the GOLD SHEET.

                PHIL STEELE gives some great insight for CFB fans and handicappers.

                -FH-

                ps- Sorry about the ONE point loss with the Hawks..........ugh!

                  I don't like touts period, but I think Dave Cokin has the most logic behind his pics (this is from listening to him during football season on the Stardust line)...

                      Fish, no problem it was dreadful 3rd qtr. guess they call it gambling for a reason. Good show on Steele and Lawerence, glad to see I'm not the only one. BigBoyDan made me feel goofy saying they are great fades.

                          Welcome to the forum bud. I'll see if I can dig something up for you.

                            thanks a lot in advance. by the way,i was checkin out your NBA record, i mean, do you ever lose more than 2 games in a night?? i know u have, but it just seems like your on some kind of freakish role, or your just that good.

                            of course im new to all this, so im just impressed with the amount of peopel that frequent the board. Most other handicapping boards ive been to have barely 20 visitors on during peak times.

                              Welcome to the forum Bulldawg. Just my opinion sir but don't get caught up in all this tout talk, they are vastly overrated. In this forum alone you will find people that routinely out perform the vast majority of touts who will charge you for a pick. Not worth it though their marketing plans will do all they can to convince you otherwise. Hard enough to outrun the vig, when you throw in selection charges on top of it you are fighting a losing battle before you ever get started.

                                I don't know if I would say that touts are over-rated. In my experience, most sharp posters consider them bottom feeders. Some people get downright nasty about it.

                                I personally cannot be accused of over-rating them. I have no respect for the "profession."

                                But someone keeps sending them money.

                                  Here is a sample of a Marc Lawrence newsletter - from October 17th of last year.

                                  After a month off, (South Florida, Duke and Temple) Miami
                                  finally gets to play a competitive football team. The
                                  Hurricanes are happy to get back into the national spotlight.
                                  We’re not sure Georgia Tech is happy, though. The Yellow
                                  Jackets are completely beat up physically and, after three
                                  straight wins to open the season, were manhandled by
                                  Virginia Tech and dominated by NC State. Miami owns the
                                  nation's top ranked defense and they laid a similiar number
                                  on the road at Tech in last year's 27-3 victory. Again.

                                  GAME OF THE WEEK UPSET UPSET
                                  Tennessee over ALABAMA by 7
                                  This is one of the more remarkable series in college football.
                                  Remarkable because the road team has covered 12 of the
                                  last 13 games in the rivalry. We must note that Alabama
                                  struggled against a pedestrian Mississippi team last week
                                  and that Tennessee has played very well at the tough venues
                                  in Gainesville and Baton Rouge. Tennessee seems to play its
                                  best against the best and, believe us, that’s a great trait for
                                  an underdog. With two losses on their ledger and their backs
                                  to the wall, look for the Vols to move to 7-0 ATS on this field.

                                  After beating, no pummeling, Louisville at home, South
                                  Florida went on the road and took two to the groin area. It
                                  was an expected loss at Miami, but the Bulls figured they
                                  would beat Pittsburgh. Now, home and angry, they can take
                                  out their frustrations on a West Virginia team that is just a
                                  little phony and a little bit fat off the Louisville extravaganza.
                                  Just look what Louisville did in Tampa then look at what the
                                  Cardinals did in Morgantown. You don’t need to know
                                  anything else. We smell an upset.

                                  Wyoming over COLORADO ST by 13
                                  There’s not much distance to cover on Highway 287 to get
                                  from Laramie to Fort Collins and there’s really not much
                                  difference in the talent levels of these two football teams.
                                  Nevertheless, the underdog in this series (10-2 ATS last 12)
                                  has been golden. Today that dog brings 118 yards the better
                                  defense into this fray, looking to avenge its worse conference
                                  loss of the season last year. Another 17 returning starter
                                  dog playing off back to back ATS losses rears its head today.
                                  Cowboys improve to 23-9 ATS as dogs with revenge.

                                  Green Bay over MINNESOTA by 7
                                  We mentioned before that, despite starting the season 0-4,
                                  the Packers still have legitimate playoff hopes. Well, so does
                                  Minnesota thanks to the fact that both teams reside in the
                                  worst division in the NFL. The difference between the two is
                                  that Green Bay is 10-3 ATS when playing with division revenge
                                  while Minnesota is 0-6 ATS when playing a division avenger
                                  and 0-8 ATS in as a favorite in its last eight division games.
                                  (We're still looking up their number in games following a
                                  Hooker Cruise). The Meat Packers have also held their last
                                  two foes to season low yards. Pack it up.

                                  SEATTLE over Dallas by 14
                                  After back-to-back home games against a pair of division
                                  rivals, Dallas ventures out onto the non-division road to seek
                                  a win. Sounds like a tough task to refill that emotional tank
                                  after a pair of games like that. For Dallas, it is. The Cowboys
                                  are 0-9 ATS against non-division teams, no matter where
                                  the game is played, when coming off two consecutive
                                  division games. Seattle has covered eight in a row in the
                                  second of BB non-division games and is playing as good as
                                  anyone in the league. Seahawks' top ranked offense is hitting
                                  on all cylinders. Look for Parcells to pop a gasket here today.
                                  Dallas falls to 0-8 SU & ATS away off a home win versus >
                                  .600 opposition.
                                  This is a scary pick but we’re taking the Texans in this game. The whole idea behind the play is our 'Ugly Pig' theory. Ugly Pigs by definition, are teams who started the season 0-4 SU and are underdogs in any game after that. The best Ugly Pigs are the ones with rest, like Green Bay above, and those who have yet to win a game, like Houston. The Texans are 6-1 ATS at home in their last seven division games. Let’s make it 7-1 against the overconfident Colts off their Monday Nighter with the Rams.
                                  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~
                                  4* best bet
                                  WASHINGTON over San Francisco by 21
                                  The Redskins are doing quite well for an alleged one dimensional team and their defense should completely stuff
                                  the Forty Niners here. The last time Frisco went to the east
                                  coast, they were toasted by Philadelphia 42-3. We don’t
                                  expect Washington to put up 42, but seeing that Trey by San
                                  Francisco’s name on the final scoreboard wouldn’t surprise
                                  us at all. The Forty Niners are 2-20 ATS in their last 22 games
                                  when failing to score 17 points. Don't let the number scare
                                  you, the Hogs are 20-1 SU & 14-7 ATS laying doubles against
                                  non-division foes. Look for the Skins to move to 10-1 ATS
                                  against the NFC West.
