Friend of mine (I know that sounds stupid, but its true. It wasn't me) lost a big play with Maryland -3.5 yesterday. He bought it from a tout. He asked my advise and I told him it was an ok play. But paying for it wasn't necessary. Well... it lost. And he paid the book and the tout.
Well, the tout promised him this morning that he would never lose 2 in a row. He tried again. Take Kentucky BIG and win everything back and then some he said.
The EXPERT was only off by 20+ points! Unbelievable. Why Why Why would you ever pay somebody for their pick??? My buddy lost 2 huge games and over $100 on the selections. He's so ****ed I don't even want to talk to him about the games. Live and learn. I warned him.
The worst part about this is the tout has some guy in another part of the country that thinks he is the greatest because he was told both winning sides. The tout probably locked him up for a nickel through the NBA playoffs or worse a couple dimes on the baseball season's picks.
