One quick comment to make sure that I am clear in my intent here.
Although I concentrate on Phil Steele/NC only, I want everyone to understand that my intent. goes way beyond exposing NC for the crappy service
they are, ie for both their picks and scandalous manner in which they operate.
My hopes are that those reading my commentary will also by implication let people realize that lots of sports services do what NC does.
In fact, imo at least as far as the records go, the latter are far worth.
For example NC is usually around the 50% each year and yet has amassed around a 24k deficit in four years.
Thus try to imagine how much one would be behind if instead of NC someone had invested in another service which hits 40-45% of their plays(and there
are plenty believe me!).
As I see it, the handicapping industry is fraught with liars/con artists and just as importantly who can't "pick their nose" let alone the games right.
When you consider that some of these services charge a hefty fee for their services, the bottom line is to be careful and/for the most part just stay away
unless of course you like losing.
The other advice is that you do happen to get lucky with a service over the short term, for the most part don't hang around at the party too
long, because based on my following these services for over 40 years, gambling even longer than that, and knowing how gambling works,
in the overwhelming number of cases you will give back your profits and a lot more!
