FAQ
How do I pay by credit card?
Please note that you need not use Paypal.
credit card icon to the right, it will take you to a page where you can use
PayPal directly or if you prefer credit card use the “Don’t have a PayPal
account? Click here” option.
What is your winning percentage?
We have consistently hit in the upper 50s to mid 60
percentile in every sport. We have the
highest burden of proof and criterion before making a selection than anyone in
the industry.
I lost money betting your plays yesterday.
Can I get a free day?
Anyone who wants a guarantee frankly should not be
gambling. Gambling involves risk by definition and we eliminate long-term risk,
while reducing short-term. We do not win
every day or even every three day period.
We will openly admit what the scamdicappers
do not: we do lose every now and
then. However our work ethic,
experience, software, contacts, etc will insure that we win more than anyone
else and at a fraction of the cost! Just as we do not request extra money every
time we win, we do not give refunds for occasional losing days.
Gambling by definition involves risk.
LEGITIMATE handicapper can give is that his plays are extremely well researched
and we can say in good sense of right and wrong that our plays have a much
better chance at winning in the long-term than any plays that will get
anywhere. “Make good” days to my
knowledge are gimmicks used by services that charge 20 times what we do.
for one of the lowest prices anywhere.
We are proud of the unprecedented value we offer.
It is by design that my plays are priced where you can try
me for a week or even a month for LESS than it would cost you to get the
selections from most inferior handicappers in a day.
as much money from you as quickly as possible.
I believe that anyone who tries us for a long period will subscribe to
my plays for their betting life. My
prices are with that supreme confidence in mind.

Luckily I have a lot more “won and I’ll try you again” days.
everything.
But I treat ever day as if it is my only chance to win someone
for life. So far, so
good.
Nobody has more to lose by a losing day than I do from
both a personal investing and business standpoint.
make sure the winning days greatly outnumber the losing ones to the benefit of
us all!
Often the only difference between a client who uses me for
only a day or so and one who will use me for many years is timing.
season weigh all the pros and cons of many things including pricing.
“make up days” as a gimmick as the more expensive (and inferior) handicappers
do.
As we have been getting new clients literally every day,
inevitably any time we lose for a day or two someone will have tried us for the
first time and lost. We have many loyal
clients who like me suffer through a few inevitable bumps in the road—that’s
why it’s called gambling, but stick with us because there is a lot more thick
than thin. To give free days after one
losing day is frankly a slap in the face to them.
We are still waiting for people to beg to pay double on
our more frequent winning nights.
Investing with a quality handicapper is like betting the
stock market. There are ebbs and flows
but you will make money in the long run.
If I buy a package from you, do the days have to be consecutive?
Our program is designed only for consecutive day
purchases, much like a newspaper subscription.
However we have made exceptions for clients who buy at least a monthly
package and are going out of town or cannot access for a few days.
It is impractical to do this for four-day packages etc as
all work must be done manually. In fact
they are designed for the weekend recreational bettor.
But if a long-term client wants to delay a subscription
while out of town, we can arrange.
What is your record?
Over any long term period, we will hit near or above the
60 percentile. Our Wise Guy plays are
3-5 percent better than our Major plays.
Note in baseball we pick predominantly dogs or small favorites, so our
percentage will be lower, but our ROI will be even higher.
I have been thinking of using your plays as I visit your
website every day. However you never
talk about losers. Am I supposed to
believe that you never lose?
I can say with a clear conscience that I believe that you
will not get better selections anywhere.
However the best products of any kind must not ignore the basic
principles of Advertising 101.
Marketing
is not defined as an objective rundown of
the pros and cons of a product. Movies and restaurants do not post bad
reviews with the good ones.
Automobiles do not promote anything negative said in Consumer Reports, just the
positives.
Mc Donald’s does not publicize the
calories or cholesterol levels of their products and Firestone I am confident
will never mention the world “recall” in their commercials nor will any of the
thousands of products that are recalled every year.
I live
and die my selections, but I also need to keep the basic principles of
advertising in mind. There will be no inaccurate records posted. I could tell
the entire world every time that I lost but in fairness I would have to ask all
the Ph.D. professors that I had who taught me to focus on the positive when
advertising a product to retroactively lower my grades for throwing those
principles out the window.
I believe I will win for you more than anyone on the planet will. I will also
lose. But it would not be wise to advertise losing days.
marketing works.
Anyone could flip a coin, admit
to picking heads when tails won. That takes about 30 seconds a day of “honest”
handicapping.
If you upgrade to wanting a QUALITY handicapper, we are here for you.
But if merely talking about losers is all you want, I can respect that. Let me
know if you decide to have as few losers as possible to talk about, a
handicapper who would rather learn from losers than merely clear his conscience
by talking about them.
Personally I hate losing and telling the world about it really doesn’t lesson
the pain. I’d prefer to have clients that feel the same way. I do.
It is not my policy to elevate myself by bringing down other handicappers. But
I will try to say this as tactful as possible.
When we formed it, we knew that it was imperative to first spend a ton of money
making sure we had the best handicappers to promote. We spent a lot of money
purchasing plays and “scouting” a ton of handicappers, including a few on that
list. We came up with a wish list and spent a lot of money turning that list
into reality. Only the best made the cut. We didn’t recruit any of your
“honest” handicappers. I hope that is as delicate as possible. But then again,
admitting to losers was not a criterion on our checklist.
Bluntly, we set the bar much, much higher. I do mean much higher.
Is your site secure?
We have not had one instance that we know of where a
client’s security of privacy has been breached.
We have as much to lose as anyone if that happens. Thus we have insured
as realistically as possible at all costs no problems will happen.
business.
If I buy a long term package and am away from my computer,
how can I get your picks?
The only way to keep Internet costs down is allow those
plays to be accessed on the the Internet.
How many plays a day do you release?
We always allow the quality of the card to dictate how
many plays we release. We’ve had
complete Saturday college basketball cards in which we’ve released just two
plays and we had a Thursday night football card with two games and we had plays
on both sides and both totals including three Wise Guy plays.
release 3-6 plays.
What time do you release your plays?
On weekdays in which there are no night games, our plays
are up usually by
earlier. On days in which there are day
games, we release much earlier but sometimes we will come back later with night
plays.
Isn’t it a conflict of interest selling picks and
promoting a sportsbook?
If it’s a conflict of interest, we are not doing a very
good job as all our long-term records prove.
It would in theory be a conflict if the only people we sent to a sportsbook
were our clients and the clients were also our customers.
While I don’t know of any scientific number comparisons,
the number of clients who bet at sportsbooks is enormously higher than the
number that purchase sports service selections. The biggest sportsbooks are
looking for volume. They can adjust the line to ensure that there is enough
square money to balance the sharp money.
Ideally a sportsbook would love to have 50 percent action
on each side in every game. Hence half
the money wins every game. To be brutally honest, there are a lot more crap
handicappers out there than good ones and the crap handicappers send clients to
help sportsbooks get balanced action.
Furthermore we give plenty of free information for the
do-it-yourself handicapper. A good faith
estimate is 4-of-5 clients we send to sportsbooks never bought plays from us or
any sports service. Frankly the main purpose of our free news and notes is to
increase the number of do-it-yourself handicappers we send.
Finally we always urge line shopping, but we would only
recommend a sportsbook that we personally place bets.
our business not hinders it.
Truthfully, the ethical reasons aside, I don’t think there
are realistic benefits to putting out a lousy product. We have the largest
number of repeat clients in the industry.
And finally if anyone really thinks we are giving away
ruse plays to benefit the books, then just bet against
our plays. It will be fool’s gold if you
do, but ultimately we are only responsible for the plays we release, not how
you bet them.
