@ Old Head - why are you being such a jerk? People do buy picks such as people use a financial advisor or stock brokers to help them with stock selections. When an individual buy picks they are relying on supposely experts in the field who have more indepth knowledge than the average bettor. Yes, the individual can study the game but so can an individual select stocks independently. However, often by purchasing picks the individual is relying on the experts knowledge.
Do you have a 401K? Do you use target funds or the funds provided by your employer? If it loses money, do you not expect the fund manager to not select losers in the portfolio?
So chill out and quit mocking people. And by the way, do you think PreGame exists to merely serve a forum? No, PreGame provides a forum is so that it can sell picks in which any business would do. It business to sell the experts knowledge.
So instead of mocking and scoffing at people, why you don't post your plays and explanation to help others? Many do here to help.
Do you not see how helpful BillyJohnson was?
