I got Feisted when I was in college. He left me crying into a payphone like the Arab drycleaner guy at the end of "Two for the Money."
A friend of mine lost everything he owned because of these touts. Thats why I can't stand these creeps. They are a fuching joke. It was the service who had the one big LOCK of the year. This was about 15 years ago. This is where the LOCK 1ST started. Anybody remember the service that came out with this lock.
Yes. I was 19. His lock was ASU -7.5 vs USC in NCAAF. As most of you will remember they covered in OT on a defensive TD!! (He called me back telling me it was a LOCK all the way) I hung up and never answered his call again.
To prove my point, if Ken offered to sell his ODU picks for the year for $20 a game, how many of you would buy them???
I doubt Shrink would have any interest in going tout in any form or fashion.
Shrink will not go tout, u can be sure of that, I was just trying to prove a point, it was 100% hypothetical.

Why would be put ALL he owned on that ONE LOCK?<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

He didn't put it all on one lock but lost it over a 6 month period. i was just asking if anyone remembers the tout service. ESPN even brought in this big LOCK to let everybody know the tout was giving it out this week.
I bought Mike Warren in the late 80's. What a low life person and office he ran.
Tout has a negative connotation to it. He is an expert when it comes to the Colonial Athletic Association, with a STRONG emphasis on ODU games. What is his record picking ODU games this year ATS? Even the big boys have handicappers help them to select their games, thats a fact. People would be smart to solicit his opinion on those games, and he would be doing them a service (one I believe he deserves to be compensated for).
I am convinced that nobody (including my mentor BW) has a better record betting on ODU games over the past 5 years than I do.
There have been quite a few people who have solicited my opinion on ODU games off of these forums and I've NEVER asked them back for anything in return...
I don't think the reason posters come to EOG has anything to do with my ODU picks.
But perhaps it's a nice little perk for those who have been betting them throughout the years???
I am flattered that my ODU threads get the attention that they do considering all the great cappers we have on EOG...
I just don't see how I could feel comfortable being another "Adam Meyers" because from what I've been told, the cappers who make the most coin TOUT like he does.... :+whipping
And I find that method to be dispicable...
THE SHRINK
...
but I do buy Phil Steele Preseason package every year and I do subscribe to Dr Bob, I dont bet all the games blind, but I love to have the info and in this buisness you can never have enough info.
Here's a novel idea...
I suspect if you asked forum members whether they'd pay anyone for picks, even if were BW'S(before they move), the response's might surprise you...
Why pay someone else for their opinions when opinions are like you know what online? :+clueless
THE SHRINK
yupWaco, the outfit that busted your buddy was almost certainly SCORE, based I believe out of Boston. I'm pretty sure they started all of this lock nonsense with their " Lock of the Year". I believe it started in the mid to late 80s and has actually had a pretty good record. .
