Question about Touts/People that sell their picks?

[Mr.Smith]

Ok - so here is the story. My buddy is a high scholl teacher and has no money, but he likes to bet sometimes on games and does so on the internet - usually between 20-50 bucks a game.

So a guy keeps calling him from "vegas" and offers picks at a discounted price, etc...

So he paid 700 bucks for a month (intro rate) for picks. Gets 0-3 picks a day and guy tells him how much to bet based on his bankroll (which is like 1000 bucks) - so most games are 50-100 each.

So the month is up and my buddy is up like 1200 (minus the 700 he paid) and now the guy wants like 1100 for the next month and obviously he wants to do it since hes up this month.


HOW DOES THIS USUALLY WORK?
I've never paid for picks.

Obviously the guy had a decent month and won money - but is this whatthese guy do, try to go on a streak to hook people or are they good at this shit? (obviously if they are good, why not bet for a living....)

Is your friend mentally fucking retarded? How else to put this?

He bets 20-50 a game.

His total bankroll is $1000

A touttard wants $1100 for one month of picks.

This is not tough or advanced math here. The tout ( Who I GUARANTEE you is a loser) is asking more money for one month of picks than your friends entire bankroll is and your friend wants to do it? hno:

As for Ace and his Docs plug, $800 is not an unreasonable amount for a season of picks if someone is going to make you money but the problem with Docs is their cappers are untalented hacks. A player may as well burn $850 instead and ask random people off the street what they think. Its nice though I agree after one of their hacks burns you they will pass you off to another for free, if that hack burns you too, then you are gone, but if that hack is hot for a while, they might be able to squeeze some more money out of you in the future. Good deal for Doc.

Ras and dr bob are the only touts I would buy. College totals only with ras.



They are useful because of how much they move the line. That is where their value is.

I can teach some of you greenhorns something.
