the problem from the buyers perspective - paying for picks in any way is this:
even if the capper you are buying from is solid - he is surely going to have only a small edge - and what you pay is going to cut into whatever that edge is by so much
probably those that pay consistently don't look at it that way - some may be betting very big so this doesn't apply
but for others they may be overlooking this or kidding themselves
