Premium Pay Picks Rating Guide

Our premium service selections are rated using a clear and concise rating system.  While most online services or touts are giving out 10,000*, 50 Unit, Lock of the Century, 10*, 500 dime or other ridiculously rated games our system is not only easy to understand, but it falls within the guidelines of sound money management techniques that we have preached and practiced for years.  Our plays are rated as follows:

1 Unit Play – Regular Selection

2 Unit Play - **Best Bet** (2X normal play)

3 Unit Play - ***Best Bet*** (3X normal play)

4 Unit Play - ****Super Best Bet**** (4X normal play)

5 Unit Play - *****Ultimate Best Bet***** (5X times normal play)

70% of our plays will fall into the 1 Unit Play category, while 2 Units Plays will comprise approximately 28% of our plays, and finally 3-5 unit plays are so rare that they make up 2% or less of our plays.  We will on occasion play games at a half unit rating or may add .5 value to any rated play.

Because we run an honest, hard working service that strives for long term success and we not just interested in making a buck with a big play we are very selective on these plays and the criteria is nothing short of harsh and daunting for a play to be rated or graded at above 2 units.

Our record is graded using these ratings and loses are graded @ -1.10 unless otherwise specified in the service play.

Clients are encouraged to follow the rating guide as closely as possible without exception.

Free Picks Rating Guide

We have established a rating guide for our free picks due to popular demand.  Our free selections are complimentary posts for new and returning visitors to get a feel for what our service and research is like.  Many times a few of our free picks may be an actual pay service play or may have just missed our criteria for release as a service play.  Sometimes it may be supported by a system that traditionally has done well but recently has not performed but we expect it to bounce back.  Other times it may an emerging system that has lead us to follow the play.  Whatever the case may be, some of our free picks are stronger than others and accordingly we will be grading the strength of those plays.  Below is the outline of our rating and some of the criteria that may be present to support the play.

5* Selection = An actual service pay pick released to clients also released for free.

4* Selection = A play that was graded just below a client pay pick selection level.

3* Selection = Backed by one or more strong or emerging systems or trends.

2* Selection = A very strong opinion on the game meeting certain criteria.

1* Selection = Basic opinion or lean to the specific side or total.

It is important to remember that these plays are NOT rated in units which how we rate our premium pay service selections.  The star rating system is different from the unit rating system as we have no recommendation on how much should be invested on the specific play.  Our money management techniques are reserved for those that subscribe to our premium service.  Notwithstanding, we anticipate this new rating guide will be useful to those that visit for complimentary analysis and selections.
