I think you'll find that most gamblers at one time or another in their life have been conned by some sort of service scammer and can feel your pain.
Why would anyone pay for all these pricks picks when you can get them all for free on the net with a little work. Jim Feist is the best FADE in the world!! Had his game of the year on the PATS on Sunday night.

seems some of the forum members have been sucked into the wayne root trap...i see words like contrarian, and some of the bonehead theories wayne uses in his book are being repeated verbatim by some of the members in describing their rationale for their picks..people stay away! im on a mission to make sure he loses business for all that he cost me and all that he will cost you!! stay very far away!

I made the mistake of calling Jim Feist once in college. I bought a play for 50 bucks on my credit card. The play won, but that's not the point. They called the apartment literally every hour the next day and really for the next week until I had to change our number. I had three very upset roommates who fielded calls for that week, getting screamed at by the sales people and then of course having to tell everyone they knew what our new phone number was.
Then the charge on my card (to be used for emergencies only of course and paid for by my parents) was charged $500 instead of $50. It showed up as a generic name(that they had told me alread-so I had my story ready), so I could have explained away a $50 charge, but not $500. So after I had already lied about the charge, thinking it was $50, they told me that it wasn't for 50 but for 500 and my lie (forget what it was) made no sense for 500 but kinda passed for the 50.
Ok, so they say no problem, it's a mistake and we'll call the credit card company to reverse 450 of it. Naturally they find out it's for a tout service from the CC company and accused me of actually ringing up the 500 and of course were pissed about the lie to begin with. They eventually got the 450 charged back.
All because I just wanted Jim Feists GOY.
A group of 7 of us went in for Jeff Allen's picks in fall 1999 while I was in college. One of my buddies had gotten his GOY the week before without telling anyone (Oklahoma over Baylor) and that covered with room to spare, and since he unloaded on it and won, we all wanted in on this goldmine.
To be honest, the guy's picks were decent. Maryland +18.5 over Georgia Tech on a Thursday night was a 20* play, and to this day that remains the biggest bet I've ever made. I won by the hook (49-31 final), but GT shanked a field goal with like two minutes left that would've just killed me. Like Kosar, I did the charge-it-on-Mom's-CC thing, thinking it was free money and I was going to win and pay her off, no problem. Thankfully, I could since I won, but that missed FG did enough to scare me from ever betting that stupid again. If that FG had been good, I had no outs to pay her back if it lost.
But since I was the one who bought the picks, I got calls... and calls.... and calls. Thankfully, they always came up "unavailable" on caller ID so I was able to avoid them for the most part. But christ it was annoying. Finally I switched to a cell phone only, and haven't had to worry about them since.
