There are a couple of sites that document these for you. You can search for them on the internet and they will list them for you.
I am not sure how much of posting particular sites are allowed here because it may break some promotional-type rules.
If you are wagering a decent amount it can be well worth it.
On these sites you can filter them out by sport, recent years, and recent month, etc.
On these sites you do not have to worry so much about it being a scam because they are documented and verified.
One of the myths is that these guys are just posting because they cannot win enough. That is partly true sometimes.
But the issue, especially when a handicapper is starting out, is not being able to get enough down to substantially realize their edge.
If you are following proper money management and bankroll management by only playing 1-2% of your bankroll on each play -- then you absolutely cannot make a living when you start out. So, even the really good handicappers that are profitable do this to build their bankroll.
The issue is making sure that you get a verified and profitable handicapper.
Another issue is to go back and look at their previous picks and decide what style you like. Some will bet mainly sides, some totals, some a lot of plays, some fewer plays, some a complete mixture.
If you are doing it for just a one time thing for fun and to make a little money then it is not as crucial to be picky.
But a general rule of thumb is that for it to be worth it longterm you generally want to be wagering about what they charge for a month service on each of their plays.
Say they charge $500 a month, you would want to be playing around $500 per play for that month, etc. But if it is for fun and for a short time, then this is not so important.
The way some of these guys promoting their plays help with this is by joining a 'syndicate' and pooling their money. But even some of the ones that are part of syndicates sell their plays.
The last thing I will point out is that most of the guys will have plays that are on a tier system, where some plays are played for a larger amount than others.
The reason I say all of this is that the good handicappers have a bad name because there are some scammers for sure. So, use a documented source to choose one.
But for the overwhelming majority of folks that do not understand how to properly handicap, or do not have the time, or do not know how to properly evaluate for an edge, or just want to wager for fun to have action -- then these can actually be worth it, even if you only break even or even lose a bit.
Some folks will be more knowledgeable in one sport -- say NFL -- but still want action in the offseason. But these guys have a real job, family, and obligations and do not have time to fully handicap a sport that has games every single day.
But either way -- Good luck to you and have fun!
