5 or 6 years ago he had a service with Raymond, SteelCity and 1 other guy.
It was disaster with guys having opposing picks (especially Raymond).
Some people paid for 6 months or more and it did not last that long. They were down over 100% in less than a month. It was NOT well organized due to having 4 guys.
I think this will be very different.

Thunder if we pay is there a system that will alert us when you post, maybe via email. I find the most annoying part with following you is refreshing like crazy during half time. I would put up with it cause it was free service. But if I'm paying feel like this hassle should go away.
I think there are a few questions that could be answered before we have to pay for a subscription. First Thunder always stated, me and my inter group make the plays before I post. Are we going to get plays timely and at widely available lines? How about the 5dimes point buying, that's not always WA lines? And a non and weighted tracking record that is available to the public, that's where the WA lines come into play? Any other got any questions. GL
I wish you well, Jeff! Hope all your clients make a ton of money. I am way too small a bettor to pay for any service, but that doesn't mean I am not a fan. Best of luck, sir!

Jeff,
Just wondering if you could provide us more insight as to why you are going to a pay site? Been following for you many years and now and know you are a very successful business man in Wisconsin with what I remember as the 3rd largest company or something like that. I also recall you saying you do this just for fun and enjoying helping others make money. And never claimed to be a pro by any means but had a good feel for it. I haven't decided yet if I am going to pay but I'm just hoping you could give us a little more info as to why you went to pay after many years of saying u do it for fun and to help others?
Thank you for your time and all the picks and replies over the years.

I have had a service for 6 years with some customers from here -Most of them not. Emailed picks every day. So this is nothing new. reason why you guys did not know this acept a few is because I never touted. Reason I hung onto my customers is because I win. Jack and I discussed this business model of the private forum. We weighed in on the biz side of it. Thus as you can see we decided to go this route. This is a unique service because it really is a forum with live interaction. Basically doing the same thing as I have done a long time here for free. Just charging. Financially you are correct I do well for myself. My company is in Mn. But weather I have 1 or 10 companies. Each one needs to be looked at on its own merit. I am very good at this. Why not charge for it?
When I play them is when there posted. Also where I place them. If I use a buy line at 5dimes at + money I will state that. If you do not want to use 5dimes you just get a better line with more juice. My record will be exact. No more rounding up or down
Good luck with the service Thunder and thanks for all the good fortune these past years.
Only comment I have is that it was nearly impossible to follow all of your plays between different sports, halftime plays, lines, etc. If I were to purchase your service I'm assuming it would be imperative to play all of the plays. I just don't see how that is possible with the amount of wagers you have on a daily basis.

You get the plays much earlier, But you are correct HT are what they are- Also I will still play my games in waves on Saturday. Thanks for the kind words
Thanks for response. Per Ed of RAS, the hardest part of running a services is the timing and releasing of the plays against WA lines vs an individual line shopping at several books. If a tout at pregame releases a play at plus 7.5 because bodog had that number 5 minutes ago when the world is at 7, the play should be graded at 7, the number the customers got. Just thoughts I had. Good luck with the service.
