Handicappers

Question

I have been posting for a few days now and I really like how you guys work together and discuss topics.  I have been betting for about 1o years now and obviously am new to this board.  Do you guys buy handicapping services or do most of you guys do this by yourselves?  If so what services do you recommend?  Im looking forward to working with you guys!

The best info is free if you know where to get it and how to filter it... i use this site 50% and about 4 others for the other half of my decision making info.  the only person i will follow absolutely blind is kindergarten in basketball....

Awesome thanks alot guys....I am real serious about betting and actually got burned really bad in the beginning of the season last year by a guy, but then bought another guy in the bowl season and he won me all my money back plus some.  They were really good.  Yet, I figured I would see what everyone on here does.

i can tell you i get between 15-20 calls from yankees from the 516 area code every sat game day claiming they got a lock, etc. they all talk real loud and claim they are not like the rest of the other scam artists out there, then they want you to send them money and then lose the pick they gave you. i made the mistake of letting a friend of mine use my cellphone to call a 1-800 number to get a free winner and from there it has been hell on me. i just turn it off now on the weekends. if you need to get solid picks use the good guys here on covers because they are just as good if not much better than a pay service over the long season. don&#x27;t give those touts any money is the main thing i can tell you.

I have beenin this business longer than most, if not all in here.  I know a lot of touts on a personal basis.  I even do business (before the season starts, supplying stats, etc...) with some of them.  I can honestly say that the information you get in here is much better than the info you will ever get from a tout, because in here, you will get both sides of the coin.  A tout may tell you to take Vandy over Miss. State because Miss. State is 1-7 ATS after the Auburn game.  What they may convinetly forget to tell you is that Miss. State is also 6-1 ATS against Vandy, canceling out the other trend.  In here, you get both sides of the argument, which is critical in weeding out games that you may otherwise play.  Remember, some of the best plays you may make are the games that you pass on.

Thanks guys for all of your help and I have been reading alot of the posts.  I actually checked out a decent site that gagve me free picks before I even had to buy.  And they were real cheap too along with giving a write up about each pick they had.  www.vegasbreakers.com IDK if you guys have heard of them...IDK seem decent to me I am thinking about buying.  They have been 3-1 in preseason so far for me.

Vegasbuster · Answer

You&#x27;re right about that, kgc is as good as it gets in basketball.

cuba · Answer

Big Daddy breaking out the wisdom. BD is right, this is a marathon not a sprint. I saw or circle over 15 games for opening weekend, but will only bet on 5 or 6 all weekend. Season is to long, and would like some green at the end of the season. GOOD LUCK TO ALL THIS YEAR

blakemb7 · Answer

Well that bit me a little bit today after a 0-2 day, but that is ok I am still even money and still get free picks from them.  I cant wait for college football to see if I can get back in the green with them!  Hope everyone is with me!  Like you said its a marathon not a sprint.
