Depends on the service.
Anyone that inquired the last 2 years about buying my plays I ask.
1. How much do you bet
2. How many outs do you have
3. Do you have a bot (you can tell if they act incredibly offended or naive about a bot)
4. Would they be willing to contact me if they miss the number
I ended up refunding around 10 guys last year who couldnt get the number or didnt realize that numbers move instantly 1.5-3 points and then will move again throughout the day to steam. If DB hits me with steam move forget about it, it's over.
I also adviced around 15 on what to do with each number that they couldn't get. There will always be buy back on every game once it reaches a certain peak. There are maybe 4 people who give plays of value that I can name and I very much doubt 3 of them will continue to sell plays the next couple years.
As a bettor you have new outs, a market that in my opinion is beginning to have more rec money (considering we do rebound as a nation soon) but have less efficiencies and
I'm here to tell you there isnt enough money in touting compared to what you get down as a private group.
I'm a bettor before anything else and I've always been straight up with anyone. Biq was not a tout group to begin with. There was a demand from people for the plays. Er brought over his clients and we went from writing and pods to selling. I am absolutely getting down first and moving, you get what still has value and 37 units to the good in football and 21 in the nba at 1 unit a pop, no gimmicks and 2.75 clv avg over 350 plays in college football and every single week I have some guy who couldnt get the numbers or a guy who wants to dm and talk about a bad beat, then another bitching for 2 days over the losing week, 4 of 17 weeks and it's the end of the world everyday meanwhile I'm betting 10x his amount.
Or, or you help a guy correct his model every single Sunday for 2 years and make him a shitload of money and he then tries to recruit half of your acquaintances to help him.
Or or you could bail a guy out of destitute and you and him bet overnights off screen for 2 years and he becomes so caught up in himself that he stops doing the work and bets your totals for so much he loses all his outs and then sells all your work to a group and you in turn lose your outs for steam chasing when you're the fucking originator.
Moral of the story. Dont tout
If you do tout remain small and incredibly humble. Growth is not relative to success in this instance
Dont let anyone bet your stuff until you're down in full
Respond to every email and dm only after your work is done for the week..but respond
Refund quickly anyone who doesnt understand what kind of service they have and direct them to a reputable recreational person or even better a free service with a reputable guy.
As a customer do 8 hours of research and then contact that service and ask a lot of questions. If they dont ask you any questions beside your cc number move on.
If they're cheap or have too good records. Move on.
Hope that helped clear things up
