I have lost little too much money than I can  afford in the past 2 months, betting 100 - 1500 per game. I'm gonna try buying picks or follow the best cappers from covers from now on and only bet 100 per game.
I will post my results here. GL!

Keep your money in your pocket and follow the board very closely.  Check out all the threads, make sure to keep check on the daily goaltending thread and my daily picks and puck talk threads.

It always astounds me that people can't figure out these scams.
These "experts" give out both sides of games. In the event of the very small probability that 2 clients would know each other and have 2 different picks from the same "prognosticator", it is easily explained away by the lame "late breaking info" BS that changed their original pick. 50% of these suckers have a winner and come back for more.

I signed up for doc's sports service. They gave me 60 dollar credit to try their picks.

I have a feeling this guy is the seller of the picks and wants to try to suck others into buying as well.

Lol I would much rather tail some of the players on here for free. If you follow them for a whole season you will come out with a profit. It's a slow grind not a quick profit.

If you are averaging $100 a bet, and you are betting MLs instead of taking my props, you are making a colossal mistake.

In fact, you shouldn't be focusing on MLs until your bankroll is 100 K+.

2% is considered an excellent return for ML bets.  10% is an excellent return for prop bets.  Props on many sites are capped at $250.  A 10% ROI at $250 is a return of $25 per bet.  For you to make $25 on a ML at 2% ROI, you need to bet $1250.  If you are betting $1250, your bankroll should be close to 6 figures.

That's not to say you can't have a $1000 bankroll and start betting some MLs for a small profit or for fun.  But if your goal is to make money, and your bankroll is less than 100 K, you should not be focused on MLs.

You spent $30 to buy a pick, just to turn around and ask the forum what they think of the pick?

What was the point in buying the pick in the first place?

Do they give you reasons or just the picks?

Interesting lol.

But that Ducks game is almost a 50/50 imo

Their reasoning was based mostly on Strong Trends. It looked pretty convincing to me..
