Do you think its viable to sell picks for a living?

I have been considering this, I have to be honest. But the truth is I am not a scamdicapper.. I actually have something to offer people.

But in this day in age is it even possible to sell picks for a living? So little credibility, so much competition, so many people just looking for free picks...

Even if you do have a record that is capable of "going tout", why not just bet your picks yourself and make money that way? Or should you try to do both?

I don't know if I should pursue or abandon this.

Do you have an account on an impartial picks tracking website? Or your own website that lists your records over hundreds or thousands of plays?

Picking winners, it seems, is not enough.

So odd, I dislike you more because of your use of "cappermetrics" and "going tout" than for your ignorance and general silliness.

Re: Do you think its viable to sell picks for a living?

Selling picks for a living seems a hell of a lot easier than actually depending on winners. That business is more dependent on the ability to sell, than the ability to produce profits IMO. Am I wrong?

to me
I just wanted to let you know i understand how you feel about line.com see awhile back i used to have a lot of clients but whenever i did a write up they would slander me and say i stole them. Its the same people you had problems with. And because of it i lost my clients and now i cant even pay to make my plays private. I have a pretty good record im now 1143-1061.

Re: Do you think its viable to sell picks for a living?

That was in response to me telling the guy that I was banned and slandered by the mods after running up a good record...

The 3 individuals responsible for scamming on the site are Patrick Griffith, RenoChazz, and Mike McClain.

Just a fair warning to all of you to steer very clear of line.com, formerly known as pickmonitor.com
