If you bet on sports, you have no doubt run across ads for "expert sports picks". Some of them can cost hundreds of dollars a year, and others for a hundred dollars a week. While a few will refund your money if the picks lose, most will not, and nobody will pay back your bankroll once it's gone.
You will also find many of the same guys selling picks are also members of monitoring services that give away free picks. That means you can get a free pick almost every day from the same people who sell picks.
I know what your thinking. It's a free pick and they don't really put out their best effort. But consider the reason they put the pick out in the first place. To promote themselves. To sell their picks.
Many people will base their opinions about a pick selling expert based on his verifiable free picks at their favorite monitoring site. They will, if they have any sense, follow those free plays for a month or so before making a decision to buy. If you are watching someone on a site like Best Sports Picks Today, and they lose most of the time, how much are you going to spend for their paid pick service?
What all that really means is that the free picks put out by the "experts" are the most important picks they make. Their reputation is at stake on every free play, even more so than on their paid plays. In fact, an experts reputation can be shattered by a bad free pick performance on a highly visited web site.
Most sports bettors write off free picks as being worthless because they paid nothing for it. They believe if they were worth anything at all there would be a price on them. There is a price to be paid, but the risk is solely on the handicapper making the pick.
While I certainly don' recommend you go to a free pick site and put your bankroll down on the picks tonight, it definitely pays to find one you like and watch how certain people perform over a little time. Probably the best place to go as far as being user friendly and easy pick access is Best Sports Picks Today.
There are many free picks available and three or four of the handicappers seem to win a lot. But there are many other sites. Just find one that you like and watch. If you find three or four guys that do well consistently with their free daily picks, you have no need to sign up with a service and still get the best picks these guys can make.
For those handicappers who put out free daily picks, what they have at stake is every bit as important to them as your bankroll is to you. Their reputation and livelihood. That's why free sports picks are the best sports picks.
