Question for lee sterling

Question for Lee Sterling I have a question for you – are you honest? I was just wondering. Back in September I was surfing sports betting websites, and I was checking out sports-betting-insights.com. On one page there is a list of recommended sports services. One of the services is Right Angle Sports, which I know is a good one. Some of the other services listed there I’ve read good things about also, so I thought it was a bona fide list of good sports services. On the page where they list the recommended sports services, under the heading “Paramount Sports” and the sub-heading “What’s their track record”, it says : Paramount Sports has a very solid track record. Although it's not listed on the website you can always check his winning percentage for all sports by calling The Monitor at 1-888-334-7800. Naturally I called “The Monitor” and asked for the records of Paramount Sports and the other services listed at sport-betting-insights.com. For Jefferson Sports they said 52.3% for the last year. They say that they always give you the record for the last 365 days from the day you are calling, all sports combined, and no units, all plays are one unit, minimum 100 plays for the year. They said that they monitor 1400 sports services, and have no website. I asked why they have no website, and the guy told me that most services don’t do that good, and they wouldn’t consent to be monitored if people could easily just go to some website and look at all the records. I also asked if he could tell me the top ten or whatever, and he said no all they can do is give the record for a specific handicapper the caller asks for, and will do only five cappers per call. They said Wunderdog hit only 50.6% for the last year, and that Right Angle Sports hit 56.6%. For Dr. Bob they told me 55.2%, and Maddux Sports 53.8%. Most of these numbers sounded about right, and I thought I was talking to an honest, accurate sports service monitor. Oh, I almost forgot. When I asked about your sports service, Paramount Sports, they said 74.1%. I think I said “really?”, or something to that effect. Anyway, I called “The Monitor” again a couple of days later, and I asked about the records of some other services. Then I asked about Paramount again. Only this time I asked if I could get the record for more than just one year. The guy told me that for the last five years, Paramount has hit between 70 and 76 percent every year. Again, I expressed doubt that any service could do that good consistently, and he assured me that not only Paramount but some other services were that good. So I checked out the Paramount Sports website and called your 800 number, and I asked if what I had been told by “The Monitor” was true – did you really hit 70 to 76 percent the last five years? And of course I was told yes, you did. I was told that in college football, the 1 unit plays hit in the mid to upper 60% range, the 1.5 unit plays hit in the low to mid 70% range, and the 2 unit plays hit around 77-78%. For the NFL, I was told the percentages were 2 or 3 pct. lower than NCAA. So believing all this, I sent Paramount $1495 for the remainder of the football season (September 30 on). Now I know a lot of you reading this are thinking what kind of a sap am I to have believed that any service is that good. All I can say is, between sports-betting-insights.com and “The Monitor”, I thought I was getting independent, honest information. Here are the results so far from September 30 to November 15: NCAA 1 UNIT 22-18 1.5 UNITS 12-12 2 UNITS 1-2. TOTAL UNITS 42-40 51.2% NFL 1 UNIT 12-10 1.5 UNITS 3-2 2 UNITS 1-0 TOTAL UNITS 18.5-13 58.7% So NCAA & NFL combined units it’s 60.5-53 53.3%. Well, Lee Sterling, I’m not a rocket scientist, but I believe there is a pretty big gap between 70 to 76 percent on the one hand, and 53.3% on the other. I know, maybe you’re just in a slump. But I’ve been wondering about something. If Paramount really has hit between 70 and 76 percent for the last five years, how come it’s not posted at your website? How come the website doesn’t show the win and loss records for the last five years, broken down by football vs. basketball, college vs. pro? I would think such a phenomenal record would be something to be proud of, something to brag about, something that you would want all visitors to your website to be made aware of. But YOU DON’T post your records for the last 17 years, or the last 5 years, or even last year. Nor do you post your record for the current year. So I was just wondering, when I called “The Monitor”, did they lie to me about your record? And when I called you and David at your 800 number, did you lie about your record? Or do you really hit between 70 and 76 percent of your picks, year after year, and you just happened to go into a slump around the time I started my subscription, and you’re just kind of shy about showing your unbelievable record at your website? I was just wondering.

As Fezzik always says, if they are picking at that high a rate, they should own an island somewhere, not worried about selling their plays for $$$$.

"Lee Sterling" is dishonest? I'm not buying it...

the guy running the sports monitor-----------do you think his palm has ever been greased?

Call Sports Monitor and ask them what his record is now. Now, that is, that you can monitor the monitor.

It's not the Sports Monitor in Oklahoma, it's "The Monitor", supposedly located in Las Vegas, and it's bogus. These days if you call the 800 number it just rings and rings, nobody picks up. And as I said, they don't even have a website. It's probably just a little office with a couple of guys setup to promote Paramount, and maybe some other dishonest services, or maybe just Paramount. It would be interesting if Lee Sterling responded to this, I wonder if he will.

He ain't responding. I'm pretty sure his plan was to schmooze around on the forum and blend in with the few honest touts that Fezz supports (Sportsmemo, Realworldsports, RAS), while trying to scoop customers with nice writeups about linebacker depth and turf length.

Response I didn't respond because I just saw the post. I check this website on average of one to two times a day. First of all I don't have any affiliation with a Monitor or tell clients that I am hitting from 60-80% over any extended period of time. To say that I say that or anyone from my office says that is a lie. I am having a good football season hitting in the 56 1/2-58% range depending on where you get your lines. I have been in the plus nine of the eleven weeks this season. One 4-10 week has hurt my winning percentage. I signed up for this board using a screen name just to exchange ideas and hopefully pick up some information. I have never even listed my website address. I didn't sign onto this board to add clients. The website you mentioned Sports-Betting -Insights is owned or operated by a client of mine for three years who has either investigated or signed up with sports services and this is their opinion of those services. I am located in Miami,FL. I believe he is located in either Kansas or Missouri. I allowed him to include my service on his website after I made sure all the other services on his website were long term winners and on the up and up. I have been monitored over the last 8 years by either The Sports Monitor in Oklahoma City, a monitor that went bankrupt and Vegas Insider. Call each or go online to check my records. I was always in the top 20% of all services. I left, "The Sports Monitor", in Oklahoma City because they allowed Wayne Root and others to register up to 10 different clubs instead of adding all their games together. Ruth Glascoe would respond to phone calls after two weeks time at best and they also were selling picks for sports services on her website in 2005 when I left. I felt this is a conflict of interest. I was with Vegas Insider the last two years. Call them for my record. I haven't been monotored since June. I don't handicap baseball or sell picks for that sport since 1998 . When I find a monitor that updates my record daily and is on the up and up and has a fair grading policy I will be back on board with an independent monitor.I sell picks because I'm pretty good at it. Fezzik capitialized on his success over the last couple years to open this website for a profit. I don't see any difference. If we both win people will stay and others will join.If we lose then our income from each website will suffer. We are both selling our knowledge. Anything else you want to know or allege?

Oh, well that explains it. That explains everything. Thanks for clearing everything up. I guess I must have just imagined it. I guess I must have imagined everything. I guess I must be imagining that back in September when I called “The Monitor”, you know, the one listed at sports-betting-insights.com, which you have a link to at the main page of your website, that they told me that Paramount Sports hit 74.1% last year. And that you hit between 70-76% each of the last five years. I’m just imagining all that. And I’m just imagining that I called up Paramount Sports and I talked to you and David a couple of times, and you guys confirmed what “The Monitor” told me, and that you guys told me that you hit in the mid to upper 60% range on your 1 unit plays, the low to mid 70’s on your 1.5 unit plays, and 77-78% on your 2 unit plays. I guess I imagined all that too. I guess I decided to send you $1495 for the remainder of the football season based on my imagination, not on anything real. Well o.k. then, that clears it all up. One thing though – you didn’t answer my question about why you don’t post your records at your website. It says that you’ve won for 17 straight years, but it doesn’t give the specific won-loss records and units. Not for football, and not for basketball. Not for NCAA, and not for the pros. Not for all 17 years, not for the last 3 years, not for last year, and not for the current year. Why not?

Why not?[/QUOTE] I know Lee is Fezz's friend and he will likely come in and defend him but all these excuses sound like typical scamdicapper bullshit. Lee talks a good game and sounds semi-sharp but I seriously doubt between football and basketball he is above the break even point against a widely available line since he stopped being monitored by TSM after the 2005 season. Very few public handicappers have done so and without documentation I could care less what his website says. Lee is likely up in his own betting over that period, not his clients.
