I've been around for a very long time and I've seen a lot in this industry. As a matter of fact, I even worked in an office years ago for a sports service. I've seen what these guys are capable of and what their tricks and BS is all about. Pre 2000 all handicappers had some sort of monitoring service to verify their records. They used to call them Sports Monitors. There were a few good ones years ago, but they've disappeared over the years because what started happening is the bigger loser sports services started their own Sports Monitor web site and were promoting their own records as so called documented. Ha ah talk about scamming bettors....they even scammed other startup sports services into thinking they had a chance to show better results than the big sports services. They owned the Monitor site that promoted their own records. These days they don't even do that anymore. They just make up records.
"If a sports service does not show the name and credentials of the handicapper than they're scammers or small time wannabe handicappers. Also, do they show an actual business address?
You asked me to name handicappers who pay a third party monitor and I'm telling you that you can't even believe the monitors.
"The only true self reporting documented handicappers post their picks after kickoff and leave them in their records for the entire year"
Find one that does, and you've found a real professional handicapper. The best known site that does this is Vegas Insider. But they have Marc Lawrence as one of the handicappers, ha ah. I fade all his picks. No records posted for this loser in his own web site LOL. Covers is another big site, but they hide their handicapper records because they're bad. Doc Sports doesn't even have records, they've always been small time and send out tons of different free picks hoping some who receives the winning picks join their site. Horrible integrity. Different picks sent to all.
Just think about this. If you were a good honest handicapper, wouldn't you post your records after kickoff? Of course you would.
What I do is I google "handicappers who post their picks after kickoff" and go down the list and see who I like or don't like. At least you're viewing honest handicappers.
Hope this helps.
PS. I'm not saying you can't win with that handicapper. Maybe you will, I don't know. I'm just giving you food for thought on how to sniff out scammers or websites that have no experience.
