    I seen you post this elsewhere, but I'll bite.....

    No, there are no services that will hit 70% over the long term.  
    The best sports betters in the world will not hit 70%....think about it, over 200 games, that would be 140-60.  That is impossible for anything more than maybe one season, if that.

    There are some services that will hit maybe 55-60%, but honestly, you can find cappers on this site that can do that for a season or two.  There is just too much variation in sports.  

    I am really not sure why anyone would pay for picks.  You are much better off picking a good capper on this site, and simply following their picks for an entire season.  I can name 10 that will bring you profits.  If you then feel like it, donate a portion of your winnings to them.

    Let me explain to you how those services calling you work. They call 1000 people (just a random number) they tell half of the ppl to take side A, and the other half to take side B, making sure they are giving a winner to at least 1/2 the ppl they talk to. Then the next nite they do it all over again, and so on.....

    I have never seen any service that can pick 70% over the long haul in any sport. While anybody can produce a good streak from time to time, most will settle in between 55%-60% if there any good. However, I would argue (and suspect most touts would agree) that % of wins is not the most important measure anyway, it units. There are touts that can go 7-10 for example on there best NFL (10*, platinum or whatever) plays in a season.

    Myself, I would love to talk to the guys that went 3-14. As long as a service is consistent, bad or good, you can make money off em. I make most of my money fading the "experts" and am making my $$ now in NHL. Many services that don't know NHL, but still have the balls to sell picks anyway are squares that take the favorite on the ML, so even when there hitting 50%, there losing on the juice. With discipline and time, you can bury them...
