cnany1 you might try saving your sarcasm for the Saturday Night Live Show. Do you really think any Pro handicapper sells picks and hope they lose. Think Not. I'm sure Goodfella and all other Pro's have a family and when they hurt their entire family hurts. I'm amazed at how so many people that buy the Pro's picks like to take cheap shots at them when they're on the wrong team. Just not my nature to pick a spec out of someone else's eye knowing that I have a log in my own. Go Irish and hope everyone of you hit the rest of the plays your on this weekend.
1) Most people who buy picks are completely clueless about betting. This includes both what makes a good wager, and what reasonable expectations are.
2) Many touts deserve everything they get. If they're not a long term winner, and even knowing that, are still selling advice, they absolutely deserve it. I'm not saying Goodfella falls into this category, but you were speaking in broad terms about how many people complain when a capper loses, so I am as well.
