Hows this for a handicapping site idea?

(Jack if this is too close to home please delete with my apologies, just wanted to see what people thought of this business model for picks.)

I just got spam from someone starting up another site dedicated more to selling picks than to discussing handicapping. However they had an interesting idea and I wanted to just see what everyone thought. Basically they get x number of handicappers together to sell their picks. You can sell your picks on a rate schedule based on your winning percentage - the schedule is ridiculously unrealistic but it is what it is.

Anyway, people come, find the sport they want, read about the handicapper and choose the person they want to buy their picks. If the pick loses, they get 100% of their money back. If the pick wins, the site and capper split the money based on another schedule.

But from a business model it at least intrigued me. If the pick you buy loses, you dont pay anything. Dont know, anyway, it was one of the hundred of sports spams a day I get that sounded remotely interesting.

They will pay for my loss? SIGN ME UP!

It's an old routine that has been around forever.....just a new twist.

Hey ace, this might just be what you need to start helping with the bills. Here's a hint though, you may want to do your handicapping, come up with your picks and then give out the other side of what you came up with. You don't want to bury your clients right off the bat.

I guess your thoughts are contrary to the actual facts and my record, right? But OK, good one Pete, dont waste all your glib comments though until I am crushing you and you give up halfway through our contest. Your sense of humor will be all you have left.

do not want to plug anything, but that is exactly what I am doing right now. There are about 20 handicappers on the site and we do not get paid a dime if we go on a cold streak. And just to clear my name....the spam was definatly not from my site.
