Yup. The weird thing is, they're basically pretty honest, at least as far as the comp play records and recaps go, but, on the latter, I heard 2 consecutive 1-6 records admitted to recently, and as you said, they glossed over yesterday's lemon. Plus, they have all these contorted categories, you know, our "Economy # 2 Play for Odd Numbered months," that's an exaggeration, but, you get the drift, and, for OTHER comp line plays, they don't give any record, so, you can kinda guess what that means.I can't recall a worse GOY in my 55 years of sports gambling!!
On their comp. line today, they described it with one word only, "disappointing" and then quickly moved on!! lol
You got it basically right with their overall modus operandi.Yup.

Yup, in sales, there's often a lotta "EMPHASIZE the positive, and minimize the negative," and they definitely do that. Another kind of weird ploy is, "If you buy the news letter for all of next season, we'll give you $100 off our 5 star play today and/or give you a credit for the amount if you lose." If somebody emptied both barrels on your Game of the Month or whatever and lost, I don't imagine they'd be all that enthusiastic about being fed more plays to play "catch up" on what may well be the start of another losing streak, lol.You got it basically right with their overall modus operandi.
Also as you say they are pretty honest in their record-keeping for the TIME PERIOD WHICH MAKES THEM LOOK GOOD ONLY.\
and the ones in their repertoire they choose to talk about.
Case in point: their record in the NFL is around 50/50.
Rather than admit that, they simply incorporate their mediocre record and go back to last season and incorporate their very
good record fo last season into this season to make it sound like they are doing well for this season, which is ou course
a lie!!

As I have stated before, re: sports services in general, a "good" sports service is one which over time loses your money the slowest!! lolThese shills know nothing more and probably a lot less then you do. It’s just a money grab for gamblers who don’t want to handicap themselves. I cringe when I read about the tendencies that this team hasn’t won in a particular venue in 6 years or they haven’t beaten this team in so many games. These NFL rosters are a revolving door with players switching teams every 2-3 years. I lIke to read the newsletters but again they are just an opinion by the writers. I’m sure many of the individual touts are giving out both sides under different names, hell it keeps 50% of their customers coming back for next weeks GOY. A tout giving out any more then 3-4 plays can’t possibly win consistently. I bypass Ferrigo and anyone else that puts out 10-15 plays/day. You can find the statistics on all the teams and do your own handicapping. Save your money and stop financing these crooks!
When I started sports gambling,about 30 years ago, a friend ask me for $100 to split a service for a month. The first weekend they went 1-5, the next weekend 2-5.
The next weekend they asked for another $100 for their ’Insiders Lock Play’, I didn‘t bite but my friend did…….it was a 10pt favorite that lost outright by 20+. That’s when I vowed ‘never again’. Good luck to all.
