......still dont know how that clown got my number, but i was in traffic today, and figure the longer i could tie him up the less time he would have to "sham" someone else out of their hard earned money, and being a salesman myself, I knew how to "play his game" since i realized in teh first 30 seconds this guy was "green behind the ears" and was reading from a script. So after a few minutes I get a price out of him and my jaw about hit the floor of my truck--he quoted me $21,000 for Wayne Root's NBA/NCAA hoop picks. Yea, $21,000, not $21 dollars, $210 dollars, not even $2100 dollars, 21 DIMES. :scared :scared :scared :scared

I laughed so hard i almost cried. What was crazy was I started playing the "im a broke college student that only bets $20-$50 a game" card (although im not) to see what i could get him down to and within 15 minutes I had everything Root had to offer Football included, thru March Madness including hoops for $1000. I got what he was offering for 1/20 of the price he started out at--that guy was a HORRIBLE salesman.


As soon as I told him id take the picks for $1000, he asked me if id be paying for it with VISA or MC, and i said hold on, let me see and hung up :142lmao: :142lmao: :142lmao: :142lmao: my phone must have rung the next 20 mins straight from that bafoon. But what i realized is I really feel sorry in a way for the uneducated that pay what they initial ask for their picks--21 DIMES, that is just absurd!!!...........anyway, just thought id share my afternoon commute humor today........ :142lmao:

Wow! that was amazing!

21 Dimes!!! Did that come with an ironclad guarantee? hehe


well, he did say if he didnt have a winning season he would give me his baseball picks for 50% off :scared So not only would you be out 21k, then all the money he lost you playing his picks, then he would take your for another 10.5k for baseball :scared :scared

These guys have "mooch lists" Players who have paid long bucks for picks in the past and have been wrung out. Then they sell these lists among each other. There are thousands of them. You do not get called out of the sky
