Service question

Is there a differnece or standard when using a tout service?
Meaning, Should you bet $100 a unit using service A?
Or Bet $50 a unit using Service A and Service B
Or Bet $33 a unit using Serivce A,B and C?

Assuming all 3 services have a proven tract record of 55% or better

Would this be compared to a mutual fund in th stock market?

Just trying to get some insite

thanks

Re: Service question

You should play with whatever your comfortable with. A unit for you or anybody can be $10-1000. That's all relative. Play NO MORE than 5% of your bankroll on your highest rated picks. Stay away from services that want you to play 10,20,50 units, you'll stay in the game longer. The mutual fund is an OK analogy in that your sevice or fund manager has a track record and you can guage what their yearly return will be. Keep your expectations realistic.
With math stuff and percentages I think Above the vig has most, if not all the answers.
Hope this helps.

Re: Service question

cubfan,
There are much brighter folks on this site:
Inaugural Cappers Lounge Newsletter

This should be a good place to start. Read the newletter archives using the link on the right. Tonight s a good example of the 5% rule. Lots of strong opinions on the Titans. (mine included) Looks to be a loser, but tomorrow's a new day, because we made a reasonable wager.
