here is what happened:
I was 18 years old, just getting started in the betting business. I had a deposited $100 into my brand new sportsbook account, I was so excited, and thought it was going to be so easy because i knew a lot about sports (not a thing in the world about handicapping). I remember, 7 years ago, Ga. Tech vs. Maryland, thursday night football. I had some friends over to watch the game, while previously that day my buddy and I were searching on the internet trying to find out what a "handicapper" was and if we should take the dog or the favorite and just doing research on the game, or what we thought was research. We were entering phrases on google about sports betting and seeing what we could find out about the game that night, while we kept stumping accross different sports handicapping sights, finally we clicked on one. It read exactly (i can remember it so well) "Thursday night football lock of the year, free, call the number below" (if you ever see this quote, run) I was young a new, so I did. I received a sales person, Jason Forbes he called himself. He proceeded to talk me in to paying him $300 for the parlay (Wait a minute, i just deposited 100 into my new account and was going to play very small bets just for fun and to have a little action on the game, now i have given someone 300, and really didn't even have it to give, he said the magic phrase"i'm going to make you rich") He gave Maryland and under for the parlay, at the time i didn't even know what that meant. I bet it though and followed his instructions. It won! We felt like this guy really had "inside information." I was now up 260. The next day he advised me to take the Friday night football game, Tulsa +6, and put it all on them, i did, and won. Wow this guy is my best friend,i'm now up 500 in two days. Im not ever going to get a job this is so easy, he is really going to make me rich! Saturday he called and gave me a couple of bets, he called them "if win" bets. 500 (my entire account) on tennessee-3, if win, 1,000 on arizona +34.5, if win 2000 on michigan -13, if win 4,000 on texas -7.5.....Oh my god they all won!! This is the easiest and greatest business in the world!, i said. He called monday and acted as if i owed him something, i replied, i don't have the money yet, it is in my sportsbook account...he wanted 1,000. Well, he did win me the money so i withdrew a dime and western unioned it to him. He advised me to put everything(7 dimes...remember i only started with 100) on Green Bay-7 vs. Vikings. It won, this guy was hotter than a roman candle! Im now up 14,000. At this point he wanted another 1,000, so i have now given him 2,300 total. My account was sitting at 13,000. I was instantly rich in 4 days! Thursday he advised me to put 6.5 dimes on Utah-6 and 6.5 dimes on Oklahoma -17.5. They both lost and my account was at 0. Now, the moral of the story, I have paid this person 2,300, at this point im down 400 of my own money and i have nothing to show for it, while he did not care at all, he made a lot of money in a weeks time.
So, my advice to this point is do not ever pay someone for betting advice, it's a streaky business, and do not ever put your whole account on any game, it's just not wise. These "handicappers" probably give one side of the game to me, and the other side of the game to you, ensuring they will make money and make someone happy. I was rich for one week and was just to young and new to know any better. Pick these games yourself, use your own knowledge and wisdom. I'm sure many of you reading this have been in the same shoes i was in before. You must be careful in this business as it will kill you if you are not...Just a story from someone who has lived high's and low's. I hope everyone has a wonderful day.
