There is some fairly simple ways to evaluate self proclaimed sports picks experts. Most sports picks experts and sports picks expert wannabees will offer free sports picks as a way of allowing you to try their actual picks.Get their free picks and calculate their winning percentage over time. Pick ten or a dozen self proclaimed sports picks experts and keep a log of how they do over half a season. Throw out the bottom five and buy a one weeks package from the other five. Eliminate two from the remaining five. Now buy three more one weeks packages and do another elimination. Since you are now down to the wire, buy a two weeks package from your remaining two sports handicappers.
Pick your winner based on the two week results. Unless your winner consistently wins on NFL picks, college football picks, NBA picks and college basketball picks...and each sport you bet in season, at a 60% win rate or higher, don't stop looking. If he wins at a 65% win rate all of the time across all sports, the answer is easy. Don't stop betting!
