When the Handicapper(s) uses a Pseudonym

Any successful sports handicapper ought to be eager to use his actual name in all of his business transactions. This is especially true if your hard-won money is involved. Sure, a few handicappers may employ a catchy nickname for promotion purposes, and that's fine. However, every one of us has a valid first and last name. Anyone who is honest about what they do for a living should be inclined to be known publically. I have discussed this awkward point with some full-time touts who insist that they use pseudonyms for legal reasons and/or to maintain privacy. I call bullshit. If you can't enjoy what you do for a living, or you're uncomfortable with your clients understanding your individuality, then you need ton't be in the company. Here's a question: Can you take financial advice from someone who does not use his (or her) actual individuality and rather relies on a fake name? Certainly not. This must also apply to anybody you trust to supply sports picks. Handicappers Utilizing Phoney Academic Credentials Over time I've noticed many scumbag handicappers use"Doctor" or"Professor" in their titles. This could be perfectly fine if they really had academic credentials -- particularly in areas such as statistics, psychology, or some other field related to sports gambling. Fact is, these"doctors" and"professors" are all frauds. They are liars. Years ago, a scam-capper who went by the name"Dr." Ed Horowitz was exposed as a cocaine addict and has been found to be a convicted felon. More recently,"Dr. Bob," a school dropout who lit up the sports gambling scene about a decade ago when he travelled on a (perhaps random) hot series which caught the attention of mainstream media, doesn't have doctorate whatsoever. He's still around. Be careful about who you trust. Academic titles shouldn't be slung around loosely with the intent to set a false credibility in order to fool people. Academic credentials ought to be earned. No sports advisory service to my understanding has any doctors of professors functioning as full-time handicappers. Maybe they do exist and if so, they could post a copy of the doctorate in the website. Living a High-Roller Lifestyle There are legitimate handicappers and fair sports services making a living exploring games and then giving the drama, and perhaps even betting on these picks themselves. Each one of these puts in massive numbers of hours. This is especially true for bona fide sports services that actually do care about their clients, which can be few and far between. If you see ads (or worse,"reality tv" shows or videos) with douchebags posing with elaborate automobiles surrounded by pretty girls, or fanning substantial wads of money -- run in the opposite way. They are all crooks. Shit stains. Scum. Every one of them. Here is the truth: Real sports handicappers don't call attention to themselves. Real sports handicappers don't throw around $100 bills like confetti, nor hang out in Las Vegas nightclubs. Actual sports handicappers work their asses off because that's what it takes to win in the enterprise. Touting Only Recent Win-Loss Outcomes This is a red flag that screams -- scam! We see this often, particularly on print advertisements and all over interpersonal networking, including Twitter and Facebook. "We went 8-2 our final 10 plays! Sign up now!" So, the service asserts they went 8-2. So what? I can flip a coin and it may come up 8 heads and two tails (there's a 3 percent chance of this happening in the event that you flip a coin ten days right now). However, why is the ceremony bragging about just the last ten picks? What occurred the previous 20 picks? Or past 50 picks? You can be absolutely certain -- if the ceremony had enjoyed a longer winning streak, they would be bragging about it. Fact is, the service might have gone 2-8 the previous week and wound up with a 10-10 overall record. Minus the usual 10 percent vig in addition to the service's subscription fee, congratulations -- you are well on your way to going bankrupt. All of that matters in sports handicapping in the long run. One day, 1 week, or even one month is almost meaningless. Unless a service could offer a legitimate W-L record over a lengthy period (at least a year, and preferably a long time ), they need to be avoided no matter what claims they make. [One more thought: A trustworthy service shouldn't have to constantly brag about themselves -- winners become self-evident] Read more here: http://top360.ir/david-de-gea-says-ole-gunnar-solskjaer-has-had-massive-impact-at-manchester-united/
