Great piece on the sleazy world of touts

All true. But there are winners. Professionals!!! That are just under the radar.And they don't come on on line forums. Why would they? Touts are touts because they are losers.. They can't win so they sell losers...most of the time....like 99%. Now !!!!! How about they ones that get banned by books.......Why do they do that? ??? Is Billy Walters a loser ???? How many books have gone out of business because they got buried by professionals? Could go on and on after a lifetime of this but lets just say winners are out there. Big Big winners !!!..just tuff to find for the average punter. One year when i lived in Las Vegas Lem Banker won every Bowl Game except one...........Lastly The one man that changed my life had been a horse player since the Great Depression. Never had a job. The second one a fine man of Italian Extraction that found out about me because of my prowess at picking winning horses... got me my first book and pumped me so full of winners i switched to Sports Betting
and gave me the start of a 2nd Education and then Las Vegas for my Masters I however never had it as rough as The Trooper... . .. So another story no one wants to hear...
I found gross misrepresentation of records, even amid insistent claims of transparency; a host of old-school tricks like using out-of-date or nonexistent betting lines; and misleading or deceptive marketing.
Who does this remind me of?

Syndicate betting is now legal in Nevada. Funny reading a tout trying to get some miles out of claiming to be one! A good article here on the new entity betting law...some excerpts:
First ?Mutual Funds? For Sports Betting Set To Go Live In Nevada
Seven months after passing Nevada Senate Bill 443, which legalized ?entity betting?, it appears the Silver State is about to kick off a new era in sports betting.
Essentially mutual funds for sports bettors, the law makes it legal for the state?s sports books to accept bets from investor groups that have been set up for the sole purpose of placing racing and sports wagers.
And while the entities must be based in Nevada, individual investors can come from just about anywhere. The biggest caveat is that the individual investors have no say on how the money is being bet by the entity.
So far CG Technology, formerly known as Cantor Gaming, is the only Nevada company to allow entity betting. It has yet to take a bet, though, even though it had originally hoped to by the beginning of the NFL season.
With its process now in place, CG is now vetting applications from betting entities and expects to begin taking bets for the first in the coming weeks, said Quinton Singleton, the vice president and general counsel of CG Technology who helped write the bill.
Sports betting syndicates are nothing new, but when CG takes the first wager it will officially become the first company in Nevada to accept such bets under the new law.
As of yet, though, other major sports books in Nevada have yet to take on entity betting.

I used to run into famous tout Dave Cokin at the Old Stardust Sports book. I asked him once about the sleazy and deceptive sales tactics of touts like him. He laughed and said "that's just the nature of the business. Been like that for over 100 years. It's nature is similar to many telemarketing jobs, or use car salesmen, or car repair warranty businesses" etc.
He would just hand off his graded pics to the company and they market it however. "If you don't like that sleazy business, or this one, then don't deal with them. It's a free country". He did admit he wished he could do something else as remunerative "but it's the only job I've ever learned to do, from age 14".
