There was a tout.
He posed himself as a friend of sports bettors.
One day he claimed he had inside information on an FCS game. Said he was good friends with the coach, yada, yada, yada. Same old scamdicapper BS.
His said his friend told him his entire team "had the flu." His best players were "weak and wouldn't be able to play."
Toutboy told everyone to max out their bets on the other team at -3.
"A guaranteed lock!" he called it.
"Game of the century!" he called it.
The real line was -7.
His fake line was four points off the real number, more than the standard two to three points he pretends to give himself every week, when he cheats on every game.
He figured he was going to clean up, not by betting on the game but by pulling a con on posters, guys who really believed he had inside contacts and could provide them with winners (he said he was here to help bettors but he was really only here to help himself to the money in their pockets.)
It was a can't lose situation because he knew exactly what would happen if the team didn't win.
And it didn't.
The "sick" team won SU.
What followed next was exactly what he was counting on (what he always counts on when he gets caught in a grift and people point out he's a fraud) - posters started disappearing.
All posts even so much as questioning the pick were deleted.
Just like his post with the guaranteed lock.
And the posters who asked, "Where did his post go?" vanished too.
It was almost like it never happened.
But it did.
Another year he gave himself an $80,000 bankroll to start the season.
He lost it all in the first weeks of the regular season. So he gave himself another imaginary $80,000. And he lost that, too.
Last day of the season he gave himself a $100,000 bankroll and "bet" it on one game.
It won.
And he bragged about "Another winning season here!"
And anyone pointing out his BS disappeared.
Like Hoffa, Crater, and Earhart.
And now, the savior has risen.
The fangirlz are wetting themselves.
And the disappearances are about to start again (Probably beginning with me. Truth is anathema to some.)
If you bet on someone's plays without verifying his record, or just because a bunch of guys you don't even know (read: aliases) post about how great he is and how much money they made betting his picks, you'll get what you deserve when you lose your money.
Some people never learn.
