Buying sports picks from touts

Yes Ive purchased from a few on twitter previously.

I hate them because I had to produce their shows, run their ads and book them as guests when I worked in sports radio.

They are liars. They'd give out picks on the radio that would go 1-4 for a weekend then come back on the air on Monday and say they cleaned up and went 4-1 or 5-0. No accountability at all. And when someone would call them out they'd resort to some gimmick or smoke and mirrors tactic, i.e. "I went 4-1 on my GUARANTEED plays!" which of course were not given out on the show.

They are idiots mentally as well. Not the brightest bulbs, low IQ types.

My video calling out Pick Dawgz really pissed them off - they've been blowing up my phone, email, socials since I uploaded it. Threatening me with legal action and all. It's because deep down they know that their business model can't operate with people like me exposing the truth about their operations.

Gambling and the associated businesses created around it are designed to separate you from your money period. The only winners are the ones you give your money to.

I have never understood the concept of buying tout info to gamble with. If they knew what they were about, they would be wealthy enough to not have to peddle their info.

Hmm. Had no idea you were in radio before. Yeah all these pickers are just click bait. I do like to see and hear all the different opinions though.

It’s all about presentation. You have to project confidence and look like an expert. And that’s what sells. Wagertalk would have a group of touts. And mathematically, someone would have a winning streak. They would take that streak and promoted it as “3 straight winning weeks” or “19-4 this month in nfl” or “#1 capper on nba”. Wash, rinse, repeat.

104.5 had some awful national sports betting show on Saturday mornings during football season. They literally said “Just get a few thousand dollars together and you can turn it to $80,000 after the Monday Night Game” Yeah, it’s that easy to get a 25-40x return betting on college and pro football

Thats why touts are scum even Warren Sharp.

If a tout is not respected then he will not move lines when he releases his picks, therefore the market does not fear his picks and they are worthless so they are selling a worthless slate of picks to suckers

If the tout is respected then he will move lines as soon as his picks are released and therefore the customers will have to buy a bad number which will eat away at any edge the tout has

Warren Sharp knows this yet he sells picks anyway... trash
