Not all touts do what is described in posts above. Don't get me wrong I agree with most of what you've written in regards to the guys who make $$ from online sites, etc... However, that is a bit unfair to the legitimate guys out there. and there are quite a few.
Making money is this business comes down to PATIENCE, DISCIPLINE AND MONEY MANAGEMENT. If an average person followed KELLY CRITERION to the T and followed Burns, Malinsky, Docs and maybe the VR/BookieBill duo -- they would absolutely profit long-term.
Khaden and Co... you can NOT deposit $100 or $200 in an account, pick a tout and put the whole thing or 50% or even 25% on one play and hope to make serious money. It simply doesn't work that way. I propose you do some research, read about money management and REALISTIC #'s in the betting world -- if you can live with the expectation of hitting 55% and grinding out some profit then GREAT. Otherwise it's simply not for you. A professional would be happy with 55-60% long-term. Yet the guys on here expect every tout to hit EVERY play --- NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
Sorry for the rant and sorry for making so many assumptions.... Good Luck
