YES , IF THEY KNEW SO MUCH THEY WOULD NOT NEED YOUR MONEY.....,THEY WOULD JUST PLAY THERES AND MAKE ALL THEY NEEDED, MANY OF THEM HAVE PARTNERS AND GIVE YOU 1 SIDE AND THE OTHER HALF THE OTHER SIDE ,THERE FOR 50 WIN 50 LOSE ...50 CALL BACK AND TELL THERE BUDDIES AND SOME OF THE LOSERS CALL BACK ,HECK I AM GOOD FOR 50 --- 50 WATCH MY PICKS AND SAVE YOUR MONEY CAUSE IF YOU PAY FOR PICKS WIN 1 LOSE 1 ONLY WINNER IS THE BOOK AND YOUR SERVICE MAN THAT YOU PAY FOR ....

Your right, i don't pay for my picks tho but i do get service picks at this message board and others.I think i do alright picking on my own.I would't doubt that they give one side of the country(east) one pick and the other side(west) the other and the books get the juice.The touts are probably the books lol.

So lesson learned the service picks are not the goose that layed the golden egg

I have found I do better not even looking at the service pics... they sometimes make me doubt my pics. I find it best to go with your own pics, or find someone who can handicapp on the boards to follow... anyone who is getting better then 50% on ncaaf, more power to ya!!! I have done o.k. with nfl this year... i know nothing about nba, but i shadow some bets off the board here.. i am now 3-1 on nba!!!

**squirreljf** · #6 (**permalink**) 11-17-2003, 10:13 AM

Didn't get a chance to see sundays service picks b/c the forum i view them from besides this forum has been down.
The saturday cfb picks were so so dave cokins goy won in the last mins with col st he also had auburn.

Its funny but with these guys its always a game of the year goy this goy that lol.The key word is bet with caution when betting their picks.Its definetly an art just sifting through the service picks and getting a winner.I can lose on my own without paying for picks lol

interesting to see what the touts are picking i guess.

I have never bought service picks, only because i have never seen the free ones hit ... at least not consistantly. They picked the bills as there "lock of the week" what crap, i had texans all the way, and when they said bills I doubled the wager ... in the past I have not bet on games because the service pick would go against who i picked,, now i have learned they know nothing more then i do. and I know i am picking better then them because I have a winning record so far for the year

I agree best thig to do is get the general consenus of what their picking and go aganist it.The only other thing i would say is look at individual services and track them----for example fiest's service you would think theyd have some winners with the way they advertise but it does seem they lose just as much or if not more then the others and if they lose so much how do they stay in buisness.

Some services have have a better record then others i would think.

I mean its a big scam,, its like war eagle said,, if they knew as much as they claim, they could make money gambling and not need to sell picks..

**squirreljf** · #11 (**permalink**) 11-17-2003, 01:50 PM

on a different note, this is funny as hell if you have time to read funny as hell

gamblingman · #12 (**permalink**) 11-17-2003, 01:55 PM

I agree also considering its very easy to get into the tout buisness so bet what these guys pick with caution hell we could sign up and be touts its that easy. I seen it advertised aound the net but when you see the well known touts that have been around awhile lose consistanly its time to smartin up to the game.

Funny stuff lol

hey, gambling man you have any tips on tonites game,,, this is a game i am not betting on because I just think it could go either way, however i am in the running for a spread pool. they have san fran -3 1/2 ... i like the 9ers at home,, but i fear that pitt could finally come together.. what do you think?

gamblingman · #15 (**permalink**) 11-17-2003, 02:54 PM

Well i like the 49ers 4 pts may be to much tho so i'm going with the ML and the fact it seems i lose just about every fb game in the last second or last play.Its actually not a game i would choose to bet either but its the only fb game so i'll take the niners.

Another thing to look at is road teams are 8-2 on MNF so it seems theres no home field advantage.The line also may be a bit inflated so playing it safe.

Oh yea the huskies have their first game tonight aganist yale -19 may be a bit rusty but i'll take the huskies almost forgot about that.Im actually not even thinking about betting cbb yet but i'm a big husky fan alot of husky mania going on around here.

Other factors i like the huskies is a win over Yale would give Calhoun 400 career victories at UConn and the last time the huskies were ranked #1 to start the season they lost their first game, calhoun won't let that happen again this time.
