Is Wayne Allyn Root a nutjob?

[scalf]

..simply put root is the king of the scamdicappers..and he probably has made multimillions promoting himself and his "lock" picks..and high-priced "super pix"; that he calls by names like presidents club; fortune 500 pick; chairman of board picks..etc.

as a handicapper; i actually think he does have some value; particularly early in the season; but he makes most of his money in a very questionably ethical manner, but still i think listening to his dog-and-pony tv shows early in the season is usefull; and i enjoy his concept of: a bet so bad; it has to win..

lol

If you want to know how various "touts" are actually doing, check out The Sports Monitor. http://www.thesportsmonitor.com/

I think there's another reputable monitor out there, but I don't remember their name. If the tout isn't listed on one of these monitoring sites, they are likely not at all trustworthy. Ignore any excuses they give for not being monitored by one of these sites.

What should be taken away from reading monitoring sites like these is that it is rarely, if ever, worth going with a tout 100% of the time, unless you are dividing the cost of their picks amongst a dozen guys or so. Sure, there are certain types of picks that are worthwhile (if the guy is monitored and is giving out maybe 5-7 top football picks each season, those picks are likely worthwhile if you share the cost of the pick with others or are able to play for a rather large amount of money).

Bottom line: it's better to develop your own handicapping skills, rather than paying other questionable individuals.
