The nation’s second oldest sports handicapping service explains misperceptions of sports handicapping in the movie 'Two For the Money' and provides tips on how to select a service of this nature.
Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) October 13, 2005 -- Doc’s Sports felt compelled to review what’s both good and bad with the new Pacino, McCoughnahey, Russo movie Two for the Money.
“As a pioneer of this industry I was happy to see someone finally made a film about our business,” says Founder and President Morey Moseman (Doc) “Unfortunately the movie showed the shady practices of our industry which reputable companies are not involved in”
The movie started out well and had a great cast. It did a good job of showing the ups and downs of sports betting as well as the huge emotions that are involved with gambling in general. Anyone who has ever bet on sports or gambled in a casino can identify with these emotions. It did a poor job, however, of uncovering the mechanics of a sports handicapping service. Very little of the movie focuses on the operation and when it does it portrays a seedy, ruthless telemarketing operation, the kind that gives our industry a bad name.
“It’s illegal to take a percentage of a customer’s win,” says Doc. “Unfortunately there are still services out there that follow these practices. They are known as Scamdicappers within our industry. These services claim impossible winning percentages, give out half of their customers one side of the game and the other half the other side, they go under several different names or change their name after a loss, they sell different levels of picks, and they call and harass customers until they are almost forced into purchasing. For every legitimate hard working service like ours, you will find one or two that only intend on getting as much money as they can from a sports bettor.”
Doc’s Sports Service has only one set of picks for one fair price. In 34 years in business we have never made one outgoing sales call. We will never try to sell you on 'locks' or 'can't lose games' because in reality there is no such thing. “Sports betting should be looked upon like any other form of entertainment,” says Doc. “If a sports bettor would like help picking winners we can help but there are risks and we always tell our readers to NEVER bet beyond their means. I like the visibility the movie brings to sports handicapping, but not the characterization. For 34 years we have built a reputation as an honest, hardworking service that tells it like it is win or lose. We just want all the viewers of this movie to understand the other side of this business.”
The following three links will explain more about services and what to watch out for.
A Note from Doc
Why Doc’s Sports
Money Management
“In my 34 years in business I have seen it all,” says Doc. “We have won and lost games in every way imaginable. I always like to remind gamblers to never bet beyond their means. Be patient and above all have some fun and enjoy it. If you can't afford to ever lose - don't gamble.”
As a special promotion to leverage the excitement surrounding the movie Doc’s Sports is offering their service at a special promotional price of only $10 (normally $99) We think it’s a great way for people who are thinking of joining a service to try one out.
