FREE PLAY

Middleman Sports does not believe in Free Picks to be given out every day by professional handicappers. We have learned throughout the years as professional handicappers that these Free Picks, which are given out to customers every day, are there to entice customers to sign up for packages. It is sort of a scam, because it is a no lose situation for the sports service, win, lose or push. Let's outline below:

If the free picks WIN, then the handicapper can take the sales approach to the customer, "Hey we are winning with our free picks. Now sign up for a package with the money you won, and you can have many MORE selections like these and make a lot MORE money." In reality, if these picks were so solid, why weren't the subscribers receiving them in the first place, as those are the paying customers that should be getting your top notch work.

If the free picks LOSE, then the handicapper takes the sales approach that, "Hey those are only the free picks, you are down now, however, I have my subscriber selections which are my better plays, send me money now so you can win and get your money back with my subscriber selections." In reality, you will probably fall for this sales pitch as you don't want to pay the man with the money you set aside for your significant other's birthday next week, and you will be desperate to get out of the hole.

If the free picks PUSH, well it's pretty tough to get anyone's selections to push for an extended period of time. However, it does beg the question that if these are "free" picks, how much time and energy has the professional handicapper put into them. If he really likes the selection and has worked hard at trying to pick the winner, why isn't it given out to the subscribers who have paid him their hard earned money? If he has not worked hard on the selection, and is not counting the selection towards his season with a monitor, why would you play a selection that is just being used as a sales tool to obtain visitors? Obviously, this does not have your best interests in mind.

This same theory is true if the professional handicapping service is giving out 1 or 2 free picks that the actual subscribers get. If the free picks win, it alienates the subscriber who is paying the money, while everyone else who is not paying are getting the same winning picks. If the free picks lose, then the capper has the sales pitch, "Yeah, but my other plays won, etc."

We can all but guarantee that of the retread articles that have been written over the years on handicapping, you have not had the sales service side exposed to you in this light by a professional handicapping company. Our goal is to educate the consumer to all aspects of handicapping and handicapping services, by shedding some light on issues that others will dare venture.

So visit our website and get your bankroll started on a positive note while learning the aspects of handicapping. 

Thanks, and good luck the week!
