Do most locals allow you to bet nfl games early in the week like as early as tuesday or do they only open up their phone line gameday? Thanks!

yes, most should offer early game lines but maybe with a early game limit. example, last night people could have already parlay the cin and the thursday night game (hou/colts).

my local hangs NFL on Tuesday (and I imagine a small % of his action is taken via phone these days....mostly internet/mobile site)

The reason I ask is because services buy my NFL picks. I gave these guys the Rams +7 on Tuesday and stressed the importance of getting their guys to get down on it because the line was going to drop. Then they give me this BS yesterday that their guys all got it at 4 because their locals only take action on Sunday mornings and the line had dropped to 4. I explained to the guy that I told him this twice earlier in the week and he held firm saying there was nothing he could do. I told im I had never heard of a book that was only open for gamedays. One of my partners claimed thats the way it "used to be" 15 years ago so maybe the guy was being legit.

Don't forget guys...... Russ, the All-Time King of Fade Material, has info he would probably sell too.

Probably just some stale Halloween candy would buy you a shit-load of Russy Picks!

The services take a % of what the guys win. I then get 40% of whatever that is. BTW, I'm not on here looking to sell picks to ANYBODY. Dealing with services is a major pain in my ass and I wouldn't take on any other clients if I had a gun pointed at my head!

I date back to the days of Bettorsworld back in the late 90's. They had a daily play of the day contest in their forum in which I hit over 60% for 3 years. There were a few other guys that did the same They offered us a job and I've been selling my info to services ever since. Some of the guys are still around. LT Profits was one of them. He was a GREAT capper. I still see his name pop up online now and then. Pacific Star Sports was one and I can't recall the other guy that went "pro". These guys were legit though. Those were the good old days.

I remember this guy named Schmitty that won 19 games in a row. There was another guy that posted as "greg" (all lower case) that hit like 70% in small college hoops for 2 straight years and then disappeared. Anybody remember those guys? I can't believe that I've been doing this crap since the 90'.s My how time flies!

They can find someone - but problem is that most locals will have "Early Limits" which depending on the local can range from a 250-2k depending on many factors.
