Tuck posed an interesting question....and it was answered quite admirably by most posters...
everyone has a price. If JK was offered 300K a yr to be a tout he would be and so would every tout basher here.:lock:

Reminds me of a story from back in the late 80's when Lou Piniella was managing the Yankees, and the late owner George Steinbrenner called him excitedly to tell him, "Lou, I just won us the pennant, I got Steve Trout for you!":LMAOI attended the same high school (Thornwood High in South Holland, Illinois) as former MLB pitcher Steve Trout.
How much did your tout business generate last year, Birdman?
I am a "small buisness owner" which means I am an American hero.
not much, maybe 10K. which comes out to 10bucks an hour. I do it more for the camradrie of my clients than for the money. I stop posting my plays for a week at the Rx, and couple of guys offer me$ just like Bernie did with JK. He said thanks to you I paid for my kids private school on your advice, so start a tout buisness for me, so I did. --- I am a "small buisness owner" which means I am an American hero. I was taught in school that cops and fireman are heros? but why? I just have to pay for their pension while they eat doughnuts and go on hunting trips and alcholic. Nobody pays for my pension. Not as a ticket scalper or a tout. If everyone was me, this country would be thriving and not in debt, not 5 dollar gas. I am the HERO. and ask Bernie and other clients. I win baby. I am the hero, not the professor with long hair making 200K and sucking off the state all while teaching lies and propoganda. Railbird wins.

I've never charged anyone or plan to charge anyone $2,500 for a handicapping seminar.
still think if the audience is big enough plenty of reason why you could give out opposite side of a few games.
but what do i know
A partial tout?
No such thing, in my opinion.
How can you be a partial tout or a partial prostitute or partially pregnant?
he admitted to doing it multiple times in his confession thread.

I consider a tout one who is paid directly for his opinions. No grey area in my definition, and taking into account that most posters have a decidely negative feeling toward touts, I refuse to lump JK in with that group. When he had the chance to take money for his advice, he turned it down. That cements it for me. Just my .02. :cheers
