Bob Dietz' Coming Appeararance On PokerFraudAlert Radio

[The Boz]

This raises the question...who is monitoring the monitor?

If you pay a fee of $140 to be included in this monitoring service, who is to say you couldn't pay a larger fee (or payoff) to be included or ranked higher than you should be. This would allow that person to use this tool for marketing his "tout service" to make more money.

No matter how you look at it, this is less about being a professional gambler (in this case sports bettor) and more and more about marketing a service.

A professional gambler makes money by placing wagers and winning more than he loses, whether on sports, at the blackjack table, or a video or slot machine. A marketer makes money by marketing a product or service.

This is the quandary of the gimmick and why I was suspicious of any monitoring service. While one or two were honest, there is too much financial incentive to do exactly what you said. One service in particular let handicappers send their picks in AFTER the games were played for extra money.

It’s sad because it hurts legitimate cappers like RED and also the customer. But it’s the game and I’m not sure how you get past the “He’s a scammer but I’m legit”.
