*** NBA Finals GS/TOR + Final Post ***

Scal….all due respect here. I don't pay touts. Never have and never will. I gamble for entertainment and that's it. To make money I invest in the markets. 

As far as LC going tout or going to work for a bank, building houses, or working at Walmart? I don't care what he does. Good for him that he is finding a way to support himself and his family.

Why is it so important to you that you make this such a campaign against LC and touts?

Maybe all touts are bad like you say? However, why care so much if you don't invest in touts to begin with? I would certainly never pay a tout for an opinion just like I would never pay a stockbroker to help me analyze a stock or an investment. I do it myself and I reap the rewards with the failures. Failures are inevitable, but I understand that my sound investment strategy will beat the net result of paying a broker after he takes his % of assets fee every year. Regardless, I don't campaign against people that choose to be stock brokers. To me they are unnecessary and -EV. Same as touts. That doesn't mean there will not be touts and stockbrokers, right? 

It seems like you have the same mindset, so why put yourself through all this nonsense and get yourself aggravated? 

I've been rockin' with Philip Steele now, gettin' up there near 20 years, and I still go out to the store and buy it. It's part of the tradition for me. I don't barely even use the darn thing anymore but it's a tradition takes me back to a simpler time.

What else can he do at this point? Real talk, he was my favorite player at one point when I was a kid. Had his jersey and everything.

Next one to the box, Scal.

I am confused though as to your logic, since the people who subscribe to sports betting services, are willingly paying the fee for doing so. They would prefer to pay for higher % more consistent winning picks. Because the fact is, you simply cannot find them on covers or for free anymore. If you think the top covers posters are better than all tout services then you would simply be ignorant to the truth. No free poster is going to give you the same quality plays as a tout who sells premium picks. There is a difference. There are a few guys on here who could probably get by selling their plays, IF they can continue to hit at the rate they are consistently. But it's still pushing it, as the top guys I saw like RA were still only winning about twice as many games as they were losing. I don't know. Maybe I'm just in another world. To me, I don't want to waste time with anything but perfection. That means my goal is always and ONLY 100%. I take it 1 parlay, at a time.

To me, the definition of premium plays are plays that win 3x as much as they lose. That equates to exactly 75% And you won't find those plays free on covers, so really can you blame people for wanting to pay to sign up to get more consistent winners? Also look even deeper. Premium cappers also do parlays which have up to a 200 to 1 payout realisticly for each winning parlay. (I say 200 to 1 as that is about the max limit of payout you'll cash consistently every year) So if you have a free capper you get your plays from, and they only hit 60%, how are you ever gonna hit it big off parlays? You need a premium capper for that. And premimum cappers cannot exist on covers or any other message board for long. I tried posting plays here, I went perfect and was banned. Does it makes sense to have people all following premium plays for free? It really doesn't. It's a nessecity to the world that we have touts. And the casinos are very thankful for it as well as they know if nobody sold plays then they would be more easily accessible.

I didn't change my opinion of touts. I'm simply saying what LC does is his business and if he's making the bedt decision for himself and whomever else he cares for, that's his prerogative. I made my opinion known and kept it moving. I didn't beat the proverbial dead horse. What this thread has become, and how far some have gone in it, is sickening. So sickening that's it's made me change my opinion of how LC has handled it all. Not of touts in general.
