Yep but it's not long enough or in depth enough........they really need to blow the lid off of this indistry so that honest people could offer plays................

I know if I did a service I would do it on an annual basis for one price for all sports...........It is the only honest way to do this in my opinion........that way people feel good about having a guide to go from and can never complain if you hit a winning percentage.

The annual price could be covered easily in the first 1/4 of the year in any sport and the rest of the year could esentially be free.

The tout or service makes good money and a decent living and the people could be happy with thier product............

I would say for people to be well on thier way to pulling out thousands of dollars a year out of books an initial investment of 6k to start with they could be well on thier way.

1000 for the service
5000 beginning bankroll

Problem with touts is they will have to throw 1k or more on one game and if it hits you give them some of the winnings........not a bad position.......they put up ZERO to win what 25% or more of the bet...........hell they take as little as 250 to start.........how nice of them.....they are such nice guys.

If a tout wants to run an honest service there is only one right way in my book........and I just may right the book someday!!!

the sad thing was to hear the industry "cliches" and how laughable they are...like the old, we can't call it a "fix"...but you know what we're getting at. Dead- the problem is that there are so many people who are new to gambling with all of the offshore books, that they have fresh meat all the time to prey on. These people don't know any better to start. That is who they nail, not the guys like us. In fact, I started betting in 1995, and i actually called one of these guys at a service about a great play for a SAT. When they answered i said i wanted the play they had going for SAT. They guy says...oh the play he was referring to only hits at about 60%, you don't want that one. You want the xxxxx play for a small fortune. I said no thanks....THEN...They called my house religiously for weeks, and when i wouldn't go with them, they turned another sales guy loose on me. I figured out real quick that these guys were scum bags.
