Consider using this, or not. I know many in the Service Thread daily are hell bent on straight following touts but if you have learned by now, your really have to narrow that strategy to two probably at most, and you'll have to endure their losing streaks.
I do a few things. I like to see who the selling touts are piling on. That throws up a red flag. Then if the players are overly excited about the play, that just adds to the first. Then I look at line movement and see if something peculiar is there. That's all pretty easy to do late in the afternoon when I want a break from work.
The important thing, I think, is to look into the actual game to see who has the matchup edges statistically, size/speed, W_L streak, injury etc. Since I play everyday that lets me eyebal the schedule to narrow the field down to game where I suspect and edge.
THen I do this. OF all easy things to do, I go to the ESPN CBB scoreboard, find the game then click on one of the teams to get you to the Team page. Then if you scroll down a little on the lower left, youll find a link they provide to local news sources reporting on the team. Do this for both teams, obviously.
This works for colleges, not pro since you have to figure out who is juicing, out with the hookers late, etc.
The nugget I founf tonight was diggin into to PennSt. The local story with interviews, showed how two of there key players had been banged up a little but with a few extra days rest they were ready to go. And all thru the player quotes, they showed respect for FLA being at home and a past champ, but were totally jacked and prepared to get on the plane, go down there and win. They made it there goal to get to NYC to cap off their season. I found nothing close coming from FLA. And when considering the recent NAtl Championships, getting motivated to be anything less didnt make sense. That school is about winning on the national stage, not playing second fiddle. I dont know what the attendance turned out to be, but I bet it wasnt much.
Some games are easy to play, but most arent. And these touts arent anu smarter than you. MAybe the 'decent' ones invest more time each day going through information so that helps you---only if they give you the reason why they like the play.
And take time to read some of the write ups posted here. Sometimes its apparent that the tout hasnt even opened the USA Today. I swear I know who playing tonight and who's out with injury more than most of them.
Do you really think that old f*&k Larry Ness is busting his hump all day with sweat rollin off his bald head to be sure he has the right side? He's more concerned about making the deal for the early bird buffet at Binion's.
Just my two cents. Hope you cna find a few different things to incorporate in what you do, especially when your tout cools off and goes in the tank.
IC, Maddux, others just simply aweful these days. Be veery careful and good luck.
