Slugster - greatly appreciated.
If someone wants to buy opinions that's okay but they have the right to know how they are getting hustled and what methods these scammers use. Bottom line is simple,
if touts could win on their own they wouldn't be selling picks. Wouldn't have to. I have never seen an answer from one of these scammers yet that addresses this point in a realistic or believable way. However despite our best efforts some people are destined to learn the hard way and send them their money, there's one born every minute they say. It is
their dollars the suckers are sending, just bothers me that touts will hustle
anyone. Retarded people and folks with severe gambling problems make for their best customers and are some of the best pickings. With a little imagination from the touts, some questionable record keeping and then some fun and games with monopoly money (units is the term they use) a good marketer can swindle some guys you wouldn't believe could be easily fooled into sending money. They make their living sucking in folks so they are quite good at it. Bottom line is I will never not voice my opinion on blood sucking touts. It's my duty to warn others as a watchdog. Not all of them are ruthless scammers but the one I speak of here is clearly along those lines. No question about it. Had I known at the start of baseball season he was looking to start up a tout business I would have spoken on his "moves" way back then. I thought his *25 unit plays and the rest of the gimmicks were just feeding his ego, had no idea he was going to use it to fleece our posters. I should have known when he was caught not counting losses and was so concerned about how many imaginary dollars he was up by posting huge unit plays.
Anyway I appreciate the good word Slugster. You have also been upfront in your position as well despite it becoming more and more unpopular these days around here. With the RX going in business with touts, other scammers chiming in, countless aliases they use and then the suckers themselves who pay touts against us, it becomes tougher and tougher to speak against these scammers without being attacked. I noticed it has never slowed you down from speaking the truth though, props to you for that sir. I won't ever back down when they use smear tactics to attack the source and take the onus off them no matter how alone I am, what's right is right. Like someone posted one day, Dogball and his "questionable tactics" are on trial here, not anyone else. Good to see others who had the balls to speak out on this around here as well. Good luck to you in March Madness.

I came here to help the posters win for free. When my *50 unit plays started winning and they saw how much money I was making the posters begged me to sell them my plays. Going tout and making money was the furtherest thing from my mind when I got here.... -
