For the three major sports (football, basketball, baseball), does anyone have a good handicapper that I could pay for picks? I also would like to track them for a bit to see if they are legit.
thanks...

We had a software glitch and lost about 10 days of posts and this was around that time,we don't delete anything here but spam
So nobody knows have good/legit handicapping sites?
I think the lack of responses is because hardly anyone is paying for picks anymore. There are tons of free picks/cappers to choose from.
You are better served to track some of the plays posted on the site and make your own decisions.

Honestly I don't think they can be trusted and the only way to really know for sure is to track the cappers you like yourself.

Exactly !!! The easy way is to look for a bunch of handicappers
in the service plays section of this site who are all on the same
bet. Pick that one and about 65% of the time it will be a winner.
If you see about three or more cappers on the same team then
pick that one. That bet will not win every time of course but more
often than not.
Maybe you can find some ideas on this page?:

My intention is to come back here and issue some caution
against what I said yesterday. The answer I gave yesterday
was a little too simplistic. Just three cappers on one pick does
not mean you have a 65% chance of winning.
It is best to look for a lot more than three cappers on a pick
for a 65% chance of winning. A good example is UCONN today.
About 98% of the cappers are on this one with a minority on
Missouri which is the opposing team. I think UCONN has a very
good chance of winning and covering the spread.
Personally, I took a few points with UCONN because I like doing
that.

I think it depends on the sport. I like to stick with Big Al for Basketball and Larry Ness for Football. I dont pay for them, because they are usually up on the site.
For football My brother pays like 100 bucks for the Gold Sheet CKO. They map out like 4-5 top plays per week in college football and one in NFL. They tend to do a good job at the beginning of the season and if you dont like to handicap, its easy enough to read their picks and just put money down. They either mail you the letter or post it online. It comes out to like 4 bucks a week or something which isnt bad at all. Not sure how they are in basketball or baseball... maybe just something for future betting on football. Good Luck!
