Tim Trushel's Highest Rated Plays

My .2 cents on Tim Trushel,, I have about 6-7 years with Tim and with another on their site, Brent Crow from Alatex. I know Tim will see this so up front please leave all the "ass kisser" comments to your selves, OK? If you are looking for responsible, hard working and consistent opinions for sports betting this is where you can find it. I know for a FACT Tim is a proven winner. We all know the peaks & valley's of sports betting. To maximize the peaks and minimize the valleys. But, having followed for a pretty long period of time and gotten to know several pro bettors and handicappers in 8 years in Las Vegas I would put Tim up against anyone. I am for the most part a lousy handicapper, but am working on it. Call me situational. My problem isn't playing winners. I can obtain winning plays. But what gets me EVERY TIME is the money management. Just one man's opinion,,

[QUOTE=KimLee;2894]This is a bad mistake. Oprah is solid. Dolly Parton is a quality person. But I don't want their handicapping advice! Fezzik is lazy, and I mean this in a positive way. He filters information and then only works hard to bet it. But he doesn't "work very very hard" on useless statistics. Endless work is symptomatic of somebody who doesn't really know what is important. Maybe they were once nice guys with good intentions. But you know they don't put out long-run winners. If they had real confidence and success then they would never have considered the tout business. Now maybe, just maybe the two-star plays in a specialty sport will win in the long-run. But then what are they doing selling one-star plays in all the other sports? It's a sleazy business. Some enthusiastic sports nuts want to live the fantasy of being professional sports bettors. When that doesn't work out, they resolve their cognitive dissonance by selling picks. They pretend to be the Brandon Lane character from the movie "Two for the Money". But good intentions don't justify staying in the tout business. That's the real problem. Perhaps you are a Helmut who starts small and soon moves lines. Your early clients get a good line, and five minutes later your clients get break-even lines. A few seasons later you have lost your edge. But you still have degenerate losers clamoring for your picks. Do you sell them your latest untested ideas, or do you apply for jobs at a car wash? Iceman needs to think about his long-run future in this game too.[/QUOTE] Good post. But Ice generally HAS thought about his long-run future in this game, so I'd give him a pass on his admiration for hard work.
