Your opinion is just a small piece of a puzzle. That's the way you need to think about it. The more opinions you seek, as long as they are weighted by the unique skill level o the bettor making them, the more of a chance you will have coming up with the team with the higher probability of covering the spread.
Why not enter your opinion in a place where it means something? Where it can provide something of value for you. If you're sitting at the laptop looking up game matchups, line movements, general consensus, etc, all I have to do is ask you how have you done?
And if you are paying someone to look at their laptop then God bless you. Think about it, if you're paying a tout cause they are so good then they should be able to generally tell you what their 'secret' is without the fear of yu will run off and be able to go do it yourself. It should involve sophisticated software and complex algorithms and a system of data bases than can be manipulated and correlated. So, if a Tout can't tell you what he is doing or doesn't want to, guess what he's doing? Something you could go easily do yourself and probably already have.
There is a way we can help ourselves, but it will require a small amount of work from each person, and that is the input of their opinion. The softare that will allow you to manipulate and correlate the information, organize it and diplay it has been in the works for two years and launched last August and it is still getting imporved upon and updated as we speak.
My whole goal for this project is to create a platform that actually provides information that allows people to beat sports. I've lost lots of money betting sports in my life and I just wanna slay this dragon, finally beat it. Create a portal of information that actually allows people to sit back and chop out betting sports 365/yr. I don't care if it is 20 units or 200 units, just that betting sports is no longer an expense.
If you do not like the results of what you are doing please consider at least trying a differet approach.
