claim to have inside team information and “The 10  Star Lock of the Year.You’ll  be able to discover numerous ads for these services in the games sheet of some tabloid, or on the internet.

Taking advantage of people’s ignorance and greed is what these services do best. Usually these “experts” boast an incredible and unbelievable winning percentage of something like 80 percent.

In sports betting public there is a cancer named scamdicappers.These people don’t care about earning money for their customers. This scam is quite easy to understand, and with a virtually endless supply of willing victims, might go on for a long, long time.

There will often be large amount of naïve gamblers. Some people are at rock bottom; others just want to make it big. Whether sensing desperation or lust for money, gamblers phone an expert like this to get a free pick and a huge payoff. At the end of the call, the gambler has wired money through Western Union for a “sure-fire” pick package.This is such a scam that they even ignore their own picks. As I stated before, their picks have no value, but they make money selling them.

It’s a simple fraud. The only thing the ‘scamdicapper’ needs to do is direct every naive caller to place a wager on a separate team. They clearly expect those who arbitrarily win to be in contact again, this time wishing  to buy an ‘upgraded’  package.

One example would be that four separate people try to call a handicap service the day the Patriots/Dolphins and the 49’ers/Seahawks games are being offered to gamble on. Once they get the caller’s complete relevant details the service informs the first caller of the days picks, the New England and San Francisco teams. the picks today are the Jets and the 49’ers. Caller 3 is told to bet on the Jets and Seahawks ; Caller 4 is told the picks are the Bills and Cowboys.

Clearly, out of the callers, one of them will be 2-0. It is likely that this caller will be conned into a costly pick deal. Two other caller’s will end up 1-1 and only have to worry about paying juice. These two callers might be there persuaded to provide the service one more option. To sweeten the deal and to put them back in the lottery for the lucky pick and a subsequent picks package they are also promised another free pick. probably a good deal of money to either a bookie or online sportsbook.

When you think of how many callers there are on a weekly basis, it’s easy to see what a money maker scam like this can be. If you got the winning picks once, you will probably not be getting them again. Eventually you lose any money you might have won with the lucky picks and usually end up in a bigger hole than before you made that fateful call. Once you become aware of having been conned, it is simple to decide to stop use of this service. Unfortunately by then it’s too late.
