        Hmm I was thinking of joining one this year , I have several friends that have used them in the past and both had $50k plus winning seasons.

        some packages are valued at $5k and up but with a 65% to 70% accuracy rate , now I know how most of these guys make money but if 2 of my best friends have already made over $100k each in the past of them it seems hard to pas up

        Any opinions from people that have used one before?

            With all due respect, any service making that kind of claim unless documented by two separate monitoring services is as good as used toilet paper.

              65-70% at what odds?

              Anyone telling you they do that at -110 is lying. 55% and you can make well more than $100,000 a year.

                at how many games and average size of bets? cause i generally only squeak out anywhere from 1-2 grand a year, and i bet alot of stuff, i'm always throwing money on something, and chasing and hunch betting, but my bets vary from 10 bucks to 100 bucks , with most averaging probably 35-60 bucks.

                    about the topic at hand, i have tried to keep track of quite a few different ones at times, just to see how they are doing, there are forums that have sections where posters post touts plays, but some days i'm just too busy to go and look for the plays and jot them down, or i'm also always curious if it is a real play, or also if it is a tout service that gives both sides of a game, some have been known(or so i've heard) to give some clients one side and some clients the other side, that way at least someone will win and give them more money the next time.

I see people who gamble $25k to $200k a game everyday I see numbers stats and accounts of thousands of players trust me these numbers are no big deal in the industry

                          Plenty of people make $100,000 in a season or a year.


                          NO ONE hits 65-70% ATS at -110 in the long run. It is IMPOSSIBLE.

                              You can make or lose 100grand as a dime bettor. I know this because I have made 20-30 at the nickel level.

                                My neighbor and I did this years ago, calling from each others home and low and behold we were each given the teams playing each other. Only reason was done was to prove to the radio station that their guest was a slimeball. We were given our money back from the station for letting them know and they have not been on their station since.

                                  You are wasting your money dude.

                                  The best people in the world doing this don't hit better than 55%-60% ATS at -110 against major professional leagues. It's just not possible. It doesn't even need to be possible. If you can hit 55% consistently, you will soon have so much money that limits are your biggest concern.

                                  If they were that good, they wouldn't need to lie about their record.

                                    No problem with people making 100k from football - ZERO. It's the 65-70% numbers I have issues with (I know don't end sentences with a prep.).

                                        $5k? 70%?

                                        Please tell me u aren't this gullible.

                                        If ur "friends" already pay why don't they just share it with u?

                                        What is the name of this service, maybe I can get them for u for free.

                                              I don't know ur friends but a lot of gamblers lie or exaggerate their claims to make themselves look like big shots.

                                              But what kind of friends won't share their picks with u but want u to pony up $5k?

                                              Proline? Never heard of them. But if I can find their picks I will post for u. But no one can hit 70%. If they really did they'd be the most popular service of all time.

                                                  ive always thought that if they can pick games soooo good, and say they r so good, then why do they need to sell their services? why not just bet ur games and make ur living that way. but thats the way i thought.....

                                                    So ur willing to pony up $5k for a tout that no one else but your friends can vouch for?????? Even though u don't even bet that much. Makes a lot of sense..... NOT.

                                                    Believe me if these guys were really hitting 65-70% they'd be the talk of the town. Yet no one has heard of them.

                                                    My advice to u is to get new friends because they are trying to swindle u.

                                                        Dude don't buy his picks I'm sure I can find his picks for free. I remember he sucks.

                                                            Anyone claiming to hit above 55% in foots/hoops with high volume is full of shit. Yes there are cappers that have had 60% seasons in foots, but those are low volume guys that rarely put out more than three plays on a Saturday or Sunday.

                                                              1. save the 5k you were gonna spend every 2 weeks for a year.
                                                              2. gamble on your own picks and lose 30k.
                                                              3. now you've made 100k.

                                                                I told u I can get their shitty picks for free yet u keep insisting on paying for it? Dude go ahead it's ur money. But u keep sounding more like a shill than a legit dude.

                                                                    But more importantly how would I know?

                                                                    Google Jim Feist scammer and u will know what I'm talking about.
