Here is some priceless information regarding sports wagering, that I picked up on a travel board. The original question was a guy asking if tout services are worth it. Here's one of the replies he got:
Why anyone would pay anyone for tips is beyond me because if you just put a little time and effort into football betting its almost impossible not to show a profit at the end of the season as long as you are disciplined and only bet parlays.
For example assuming the season consists of 18 weeks and you place a 4 team handicap parlay each week of say $20.00 (it could be more depending on each individual.
In England a 4 team parlay on the handicaps pays at least 10/1 odds so 18 weeks at $20.00 a bet is an outlay of $360.00.
Just 2 winning parlays out of 18 and you are guaranteed to show a profit of over $60.00 and thats only betting $20.00 a week with only 2 winning bets and if you cant get 2 winning parlays out of 18 then your not spending enough time studying the games or your stupid or very unlucky.
