Deadspin article on RJ Bell & Pregame

[BostonBettor]

Sorry for posting the link, not the article - but not sure how to successfully paste without including a lot of unwanted crap. Great read on what a con artist RJ Bell is, and how people continue to be suckered by the belief that "services" such as pregame can win them money.

don't think any of these touts are on the straight and narrow

What I found most interesting was the relationship between sportbooks and the site. Losing clients meant more money for both the book and pregame. Essentially it's better for pregame for their clients to lose.

Been a thread in the rubber room about this for awhile. The cappers there couldnt be worse if they tried. It has been said they are in bed with the books so nothing would suprise me. Rather flip a coin than ever pay one of these scumbags on pregame

Wow, what a total roast job. Is Bell still on Cowherds show?

 

[Enfuego]

I flat out asked RJ on the forum there is he's running a scam in an effort to get the players to lose so he can make more money.

No answer.

These services don't have to "try" to lose. That implies they actually have the ability to win.....which they don't.

Exactly - they don't "try to lose", they just do because their touts aren't any better than anyone else. It's just that by losing the site profits from their affiliation with the book. Some of the numbers of what some of these guys have lost over the years is astounding. Long article, but imo worth the read.

Apparently, Colin Cowherd is going to have bell back on Fridays this NFL season. He said when he switched to Fox Sports last year, that people were contacting him asking why Bell wasn't on the show. Colin said he wanted to wait and see how he would be received on his new network.
