May I make a suggestion ? These forums are ran by sports picking companies. The monitors are individuals who are trying to sell their picks. The best thing to do for quality picks, in my opinion, is to go to Bangthebook.com and search out an individual with a high winning percentage of picking games (57% or higher) because Bangthebook.com allows people to make picks and document them for tracking purposes.
Hold on, there is more. Do NOT make use of one of the screen names who are allowed to leave their websites or allowed to leave a text link to their websites in their posts on the forum. If you come across an individual who is allowed to send you to their website or leave a text link taking you to their website, they are part of the con.
The best way to do it is, find a screen name with a high winning % and send them a personal message through the website and ask them if they are associated with the website. If they say no, try to look at their postings and see if they have a text link leading to their website, because these men will blatantly lie to you.
There are good low cost services who do not advertise or who are not allowed to advertise on these sports forums. You just need to know how to find them.
