I would worry about
how good a service could this possibly be if THEY HAVE TO CALL YOU........several times!
I would file that one with Razor Sharp and all the rest of those kind in the old circular bin!
GvI am NOT schizophrenic......and NEITHER am I! Just paranoid that fear may overcome my insanity!

Let me tell you guys something: I have been around a long time and have received numerous calls from services selling their picks(or trying to sell their picks) to me.
Feist, Cokin, Root, Larry Ness(all out of same office I believe) are notorious for that.
Usually they start off with the "How ya doing in the bases"(or whatever sport it happens to be) and then ask how much you can move on a big game going tonight(obviously the more you say, the more they figure they can charge you) and the usual how they are 80% or so for the season, yada, yada, yada.
I either toy with them and try to give them the impression I am interested before slamming the phone down or I honestly simply tell them that I NEVER would buy picks from anyone no matter how good they are when they bother you at homel(I tell them it makes them sound desperate, and that good services sell themselves) and then tell them if they are a big service that their picks are available for nothing on the internet consensus;then I politely say goodbye.
Sure hope above helps for those experiencing these lowlifes for the first time.Last edited by savage1; 08-14-2003, 03:39 PM.

His Biography
XXJimmy Spatafore, a Spokane, Washington native, moved to Las Vegas in 1986. He shortened his name because Spatafore took up too much space in ads. He was in the restaurant business "his whole life" and left Spokane and the restaurant business because he wanted a change in the weather as well as a career change. Spats sold real estate for a year, then he and a longtime friend went to work in a tout's boiler room. "We'd always thought of ourselves as touts anyway, always thought we could pick games as well as anyone," Spats said.
XX"We eat, sleep and breathe sports, especially baseball." The tacky tout's tawdry business practices eventually took a toll on their morale, however, and in 1990 he and his friend left to make it on their own.
XXHis hard work finally paid off when in 1994, he hit gold by winning $111,000 in the Las Vegas Hilton's SuperContest, a football prognosticating competition that annually attracts the nation's leading sports handicappers...and the rest is history!
