Does anyone use a sports handicapper?

[Fighting Irish.sixpack]

If so, who do you use?

a friend of mine has a one month subscription to Lee Steeling of Paramount Sports. His basketball picks in February are 17-24. I’d be pissed if I were paying that guy for picks and he was less than 50%.

Short and slow

Just use his guy, but do the reverse. His guy probably works for Vegas anyway

Vegas doesn’t care if you win in sports betting.

They just want equal action. 50% one side 50% the other. They can’t lose then.

Some say our athletic director is a sports handicapper**

I had a guy for a few weeks back in the fall, he was giving out 3 football picks a week. I didn't like any of his picks and he was under .500 after 3 weeks so I didn't renew (I was paying him on a weekly basis). Ultimately it was a waste of time, however, the guy had a line for any objection I had which was really entertaining/humorous. I've also read that a lot of touts actually give both picks so they always have some clients that are winning.

Seems to me that if a handicapper was able to consistently beat the odds, he'd make a lot more money betting himself than selling his picks to small time bettors.

Profitbets on Twitter is pretty good and gives out lots of free picks

Which means they need sucker money to balance sharp money.

Find me one with a break even or your money back guarantee and I'll consider paying someone to bet for me.

There’s a couple of guys from betting pros.com that are gaining traction. Look up The Daily Juice podcast. Matt Perault is his name. Seems nice. He has a little following, has worked his way up fast this year with some crazy runs. 18-2 and a 24-6 run . Has some fun merch and he also gives away nice sports memorabilia. Just getting in the discord channel is funny because every single person is a degenerate.

He asked for nothing. Just to not be a dick

Those are actually the ones you want to avoid the most.

1) Sell your picks with a can't lose guarantee / refund.
2) Send out different picks to different clients.
3) Keep the money of the ones that happen to win through pure chance.

It's guaranteed profit.

Someone who says, "If you buy my picks, history says you are likely to win, but even I have losing stretches, so it's no guarantee," at least could theoretically be an honest tout, though they probably aren't, either.

Not really The line moves to balance this out.

There are a few honest handicappers out there. They only pick a few games per week - and never guarantee. One actually says, you're probably going to lose money in the long run when better on sports. Hopefully, I can help you lose it more slowly. College football is much better to bet on than NFL.

I used to use Indian Cowboy on Docsports.com. he was good but the few times I pulled the trigger I lost or just took the money and didn't try to keep betting. I haven't been big on sports betting in years though.

Good movie on this, Two for the Money starring Al Pacino and Matthew McConaughey
