The handicappers suck. When you think about it they know as much as we do. Nothing.
You are finally getting the message.
All cappers have short term winning streaks just like bettors do and that includes Marc Lawrence who I also believe lost again last night with Arkansas(a tough loss yet a loss).
I don't mean to brag but I have been gambling for over 40 years and as stated, have been following all of the services since they started in the 70s(including Marc Lawrence).
My advice is that if you pay a service for picks and win for any period of time, count your blessings.
I guarantee that if you stay with just about any service for any extended period of time, you will eventually lose when you factor in the cost no matter how the services including the "educated" guys try to spin it and make it sound like they are winning.
Phil Steele/Northcoast is a master of this with his zillion sets of plays, clubs, newsletters, favorable time frames in recounting his records, etc.-anything to try to pull the wool over your eyes.
I hoope that neither you nor anyone else regards this is bashing-view it as reality from someone who has been around a long, long time and knows the ropes, how many of these guys operate and most importantly knows that the 52.4% winning percentage needed to sustain a profit over time is very difficult to sustain and ven more so when one is paying these folks money week after week.
