Anybody that pays for picks from all these wanna be cappers who get their start on forums need their heads checked out. The real people you would want to pay for their picks, arent hanging around gambling forums trolling for customers. All these guys who post on forums that go tout, do so because they go on a hot streak {like almost all of us do at some point} and they try to capitalize on that hot streak right away. They all suddenly think they are the next Billy Walters. Truth is they need customers, so they can have the money to support their own degenerate gambling habit.
Its hard enough to overcome the vig, now you are going to pay some wannabe capper to predict the future for you.
The one and only way i would pay for picks, is if the person selling me the picks pays all of his bills in life {house, car, medical insurance, food vacations etc etc } with money that he makes from actually betting his own picks, not money he makes from selling picks. Then i would pay for picks.
Truth is, if it wasnt for the internet and all the free ways there are to become a paid tout, 99.9 percent of these wannabes could never afford to become touts. If they had to pay just for the ads in papers like the old touts did, none of these clowns could do it.
You are better off flipping a coin then paying your hard money to these modern day con artists.
