Here's a rule of thumb I go by when dealing with paid touts. If they do not track their picks transparently, every single pick, do not buy from them. Think about it. If they really are as good as they say, they'd have no problem transparently tracking themselves. Would you ever go to a landscaper and hire him without seeing his work? Same thing with touts.
And the more people would do this they'd be forced to show their TRUE records. But people continue to buy picks from them without records so they don't show it.
Lastly, don't short yourselves in making your own picks. I bet most people would do better than touts or about the same. Track yourselves. Or enter Freak's Bad Man contest and see how you do. Freak does a great job tracking everything and I bet most people's win % would be better than these bullshit touts. |
