I've used this guys a couple times, first time I used chet coppock -- what a bastard he was. Second time I used Wayne Root, anyways I've never went up with these guys but was wondering if any of you guys have used them. I like how you get to speak to a rep everyday and he tells you your picks and what not. I always found that to be fun, talk sports with your rep (if you didn't have one that was an asshole). I think Wayne Root is actually pretty good if you buy his good picks and don't screw around with his chairman and millionaire plays. If you get a good rep too theres also a plus side to it cause some of these guys know a good amount about sports. I know yesterday I had 3 missed calls from different guys trying to get me to buy picks. So it brought my attention to if i wanted to use Root or not if i can make a little bankroll here in the next few weeks. Anyways just seeing if anyone out there has used these people before. I know BIG Al works over there with root to.

This guy is a scum dude. I use a capper but never messed with 1 that has people cold calling me. If you are that good, you dont need to go the extra mile to get customers, they will follow once you prove them right. Al and Root and old school scums.

Yeah there probably scams I guess they sucker you in with the money they tell you they can make for you. One guy I don't think is a scam is Marc Lawerence and Brandon Lang, both guys post there picks they day after so you know what game you got is the game there giving to everyone.

No, stuff like that isn't illegal. It's just part of the paradoxical situation that will always arise when the legality of something is incompletely and/or inconsistently defined. For instance, it's not at all illegal for newspapers all over the country to publish the Vegas lines for games, even though actually taking a bet on those lines is not legal. It's not even illegal for newspapers to have touts picking against the spread and giving their advice, which many do (at least in NYC they do - both the Daily News and the Post do that for football).
