DON'T EVER PAY FOR ANY SPORTS SERVICE AGAIN! CHECK MY RESULTS HERE!

I am not going to waste anytime trying to make a sales pitch like all the touts (sports tipsters/services who charge for their picks). I will get straight to the point. I am a full time charted accountant. I got into sports betting for recreational purposes in 1996. My first 7 years were losing years. During the first 5 years I made my own picks and followed some tipsters on radio talk shows and message boards--finished each of those 5 years in the negative or close to par. Then I realized that even If I managed to pick/find more winners than losers, it is still hard to make profit because of the gamblers psychology on expected value, money management and bookies vig. At this point I decided to join so called professional sports handicapping services to simply follow their advice so that I don't have to let my psychology affect anything. I spent the next 2 years trying numerous sports services but both years I lost more than what I lost in the first 5 years combined. During my first 5 years, the biggest bet I ever placed was $250. Then the next 2 years when I was trying out different sports services, I placed wagers ranging from $50 to $500.

The +EV winning formula

Sports bettors' psychology (be it handicapping a game to pick the winning side or deciding on how much to bet) always works against them. All it takes is a couple of losses or a small losing streak for this pressure to take effect in most bettors. They will let emotions take over when they are down and they will do all the "DON'Ts" of sports betting, with the most common one being chasing losses by playing too many games or betting too much. Nearly 2 years after using many sports services, I realized that sports handicapping services are lot worse than an average bettor when it comes to psychology because of the pressure to produce results for their clients. All it takes is a small losing streak and they are doomed for ever because they will activate the chase mode. The end results is another losing sports service. MOST PROFESSIONAL SPORTS HANDICAPPING SERVICES LOSE NOT BECAUSE OF THEIR IN ABILITY TO HANDICAP GAMES, IT IS RATHER THEIR INABILITY TO STAY DISCIPLINED. As soon as they go on chase mode they will start betting on games that they wouldn't normally bet, -EV bets. To make things worse, they would bet lot more on these -EV bets than the amount that they were betting on the +EV bets prior to the chase mode.

By the fall of 2006 I have successfully mastered the art of when to fade and when to tail a sports service for a nice +EV return. There are hundreds of services out there, that means a lot picks. Key is to study them all and spot the chase mode at early stages. I closely study and analyze a database with numerous sports services (about 50!) . I get their daily picks from the "service plays" threads of major sports betting forums and I subscribe to the services that I cannot find in those threads. I go through all their daily picks and come up with 5 to 10 possible +EV plays. From these possible plays, I will bet only 1 to 3 plays, i.e. the top three +EV plays in my estimate. Most of these bets that I come up with are the opposite side of these popular service plays.

I have 3 rules that I strictly follow when it comes to betting these games. 1. Never bet more than $1000 (I use only 4 bet sizes: $250, $500, $750, $1000. Majority of the bets are for $500 or $750) 2. Never make more than three bets on any given day. 3. Don't break rules one and two. Keep in mind that these rules are personal--just for me. You can set the bet sizes to 1, 2, 3, and 4 units and assign whatever monetary value suits you best for each unit. The limit of 3 games is to make this method work efficiently and keep me from falling under psychology problems. If you are a professional bettor with a very large bankroll, making a living with sports betting you should never limit yourself to three bets a day if you can find more than three +ev bets.

REMEMBER THAT IF YOU BLINDLY TAIL OR FADE ALL THE PICKS OF A SPORTS SERVICE, YOU WILL LOSE YOUR BANKROLL SOONER OR LATER BECAUSE THEY WILL FALL INTO TO THE PSYCHOLOGY PROBLEM THAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT EARLIER. IT IS A FACT THAT IF YOU BLINDLY FADE OR TAIL A SERVICE IT WILL BE -EV IN THE LONG RUN.

I have received many emails regarding rule one because of the great success that I am having. They always ask, why don't I move to Vegas to do this full time instead of limiting my self to just $1000 max bet etc. If I am to do that, I know for for a fact that the psychology that I was talking about earlier would kick in and destroy everything. Sometimes I get the temptation to bet larger amounts or to make more than 3 bets (especially during weekends) but I always kick the temptation away regardless of how my bets perform. When you involve too much money, emotions will play a big role and that my friend will have a huge negative effect on your betting related decisions. LIKE I MENTIONED BEFORE, THESE RULES ARE MY PERSONAL CHOICES. SPORTS BETTING WILL ALWAYS REMAIN AS A RECREATIONAL ACTIVITY FOR ME--NOT A PROFESSION!

The birth of toutbuster.com

Until 2007, I never even dreamed of selling my bets. 2006 was my first winning year and since then I am on a roll. During my success I shared my bets with some friends and co-workers. Through word of mouth my success spread. By middle of 2007 baseball season, there were about 20 people (mostly friends, co-workers and relatives) receiving my daily bets by email. By the start of 2007 NFL season the number of people in the list tripled--it got to the point where there were people on the list that I didn't even know--friends of co-friends, co-workers, relatives etc. On April 1, 2008, from a suggestion of a good friend, I sent out an April Fools email to everyone on the list saying that they must pay $500/week if they want to continue receiving my picks. Most of them got the joke, but 7 people on the list took up my offer not knowing that it was a joke--They were ready to pay $500/week to have me send them my bets daily. And that is when I came up with the idea of charging for my emails--but of course I don't charge $500/week! I got the nickname Tout Buster from friends in 2007 due to the nature of my method. I decided to go by that name since the domain was available! Toutbuster.com was launched on June 1, 2008. I have been winning consistently ever since I started using this method in 2006 but in the records page you will only see the results from June 1, 2008.

I also get many emails regarding the psychology and pressure that I was talking about earlier. Many who visit this page ask if I could continue my success with the added pressure of people paying me. The answer is yes, I can continue the success because I don't make picks to sell. As mentioned before, I make these picks for myself to bet on. I follow the 3 rules, so, that I don't get affected by the psychology. I am a full time charted accountant. Sports betting is a leisure for me and my sports betting bankroll an amount that I can afford to lose. However, I haven't lost a bankroll ever since I started employing this method in 2006. With all the success and profit that I am enjoying, I still haven't placed a wager over $1000 or placed more than 3 bets on any given day since I started employing this method in 2006!

Thanks for reading. May the winnings be yours!
