Answer 1

Jacques gets a thumbs up!

Yup, many of these sports picks sites are simply scams! They may give out some picks, often they will give out different picks for their "top selection" to several different subscribers, then contact the ones that got the winning results and pressure to you subscribe to their "super picks" or whatever.

For any pay for picks site, be sure they post an independently verifiable track record on their site!

And watch out for fantastic claims, such as 98% win rate, etc, this just does not happen! Also some sites provide "guarantees" if their picks are losers. Usually these guarantees are not to get your money back, but to simply get another set of picks, which may also be a loser!

As for one to use, here is a link to a site with a good system for NFL and NCAA football game selections that posts the picks for FREE! It uses a computerized statistical program to pick the probable winners, then surveys several other public and private handicapper sites to develop a final pick selection.

The site uses the system to provide picks for all NFL Games and NCAA games, with probability of winnning against the spread, straight up and after the NFL fifth week, the over under.

No system will ever work if each result is independent from each other.  Now, with sports betting you just need to do research before the game and find out if anyone is injured on both teams playing.  If its baseball then who's pitching.  Basketball is good for over/unders.  When you get a team who is normally a fast team and scores a lot, look for them to play a slow team for a few games in a row and skew their point total average down a bit.  Then when they play a fast team again, the over should come in most often.  This takes a lot of examining yearly schedules, and finding out when these games are coming up.

Answer 5

yea im also interested in these betting systems. im doing research right now trying to find out more info on them to see if they are scams or not.

the thing about odds is that the bookies have already done all the research for you injuries, whos playing whos not all of that before they come up with the odds. the odds are made based on that info and other factors. so to me it's more than that. there are people who win almost all their bets and win big every single time so they must know something we dont know and thats what some of these systems offer. im still in the process of finding out more info about them and eventually give one a try. you cant knock it until you try it right? if there's a money back gaurantee go fo it.

i would advice you to look for those systems on clickbank.com they have new systems that are up to date and stuff like that so just check it out.

Answer 6

I wouldn't trust sites that give you "free" picks. I can almost guarantee you that for every online sports "guru" that picks one team to win a game in their free picks, there's another online sports "guru" who picks the exact opposite team.

On the other hand, there are some very successful professional sports handicappers that SELL their picks, and the best ones usually aren't cheap. But if you want the best chance of winning and aren't going to do your own research, they are MUCH more reliable than anything you find for free.

Unlike some of the other posters on here, I am not promoting a website or product, so I'm not going to link you to a site. I will tell you to do a web search of the author of the book "Millionaire Republican." He is widely considered the greatest sports handicapper of this generation (and yes he sells picks online). He paid his way through Yale betting on sports, then through his success in sports betting, established the only publicly traded sports handicapping firm in the nation. He also has a star on Las Vegas' walk of fame.

Answer 7

No, it depends how you use them. You can follow other picks people for example at http://www.betting-forum.com/

or even write yours in order to help people win if you feel good.

Answer 8

Most systems are scams.  If the system worked, they wouldn't need to sell them but rather gamble according to their system!  What usually happens is a handicapper will advertise a free pick, and then give your number to their sales team.  The sales team will hound you until you sign up for their services.  They usually also offer free picks for the remainder of the season if you pay for one that doesn't work out.  They make money this way because they will give half of their customers one pick, and the other half the other pick on the same event!  This way, they guarantee themselves at least 50% return services, and eventually the customers who got the bad pick in the long run.  

You can check the free daily picks at http://dagus-statistics.com where you'll find great picks published daily for free, no catch at all.  NEVER pay for picks!
