Re: Paying for picks is not so bad

What's in it for the handicappers, assuming they really are this good?

I don't have numbers, but my guess is that the money some of these handicappers are making off of subscriptions rival, if not exceed the money they are making off of sports betting. For top services with lots of customers, their income from subscription fees probably vastly exceeds their profits from sports betting.
Again, I don't have hard numbers, but all of the services I work with are at LEAST dime bettors ($1000/unit, up to $8800+/bet). Subscription fees income for a top handicapper can easily trump the $200K+ in earnings they make off sports betting alone for a single year. I'm talking about some of the top services though. There are so many pretenders now on the Internet it's not even funny.
I love the sites claiming 90+% winning percentage. Those are funny.
