Seriously, do people still use bet picks to decide which games to place their bets on these days? Please do not get me wrong, whether it is free picks or paid tips, there are some really good ones out there. In fact, not too long ago I actually observed a sports betting blogger who averaged close to 70% strike rates with his picks. However, the real issue here is the feasibility to consistently win bets using these bet picks.

Using the example of paid tips services in sports betting, there are many different types of service providers in the trade. Without a doubt, some paid tips providers have excellent record and reputation, but lately, there are too many competitors who want a share of the pie, and ended up putting the reputable paid tips providers out of business.

With free bet picks posted by bloggers, it is an entirely different scenario. Some sports betting bloggers are really good, and they have been posting their picks and results up for years. However, almost all bloggers and sites that publish free picks are doing it on a hobby basis, which means there is really little at stake for them besides the matter of pride. For the people who actually bet according to these picks, it is not pride, but their money that is at stake.

The best way to profit consistently, as many successful case studies have already proven, is to invest in a good, reliable sports betting systems rather than to permanently depend on bet picks. If you want to win your bets as regularly as the top 1% of sports bettors, then what you need to do is right now, is to find your own profitable system as they did, and stick to it with some discipline.
