People seriously need to get a clue about gambling. It does not matter what a tout plays, if you know how to win at a sport, you don't worry what a "tout" gives out. Also no forum on the internet is big enough to represent every player.
Not playing a game because you have no strong opinion on it is fine, but to ignore it because of what complete strangers have or don't have on it is idiotic.
Very true.. In my early gambling days I would scramble for every tout play... got up early Saturday am and watch ProLine, was calling and taking calls from idiots...didn't have enough confidence in my own picks. I lost WAY more money than I won..
Now I still have no confidence in my own picks, but I follow the best players on a couple of forums only. Go out of my way to ignore even hearing the tout's picks.(othethan the pregame wire pick) ...yesterday i went 28-10-5 following the best of this site and one other. I only started making money consistently when I tuned out these "pros."
Maybe there are exceptions, but in the long run, imo, if you are paying for picks...I think you are paying in more ways that one. I'm on Arizona today but because of some people on the boards I respect. If you say the touts are on it too, doesn't phase me either way.
