Does anyone subscribe to any sort of gambling data?

This could mean basically anything and you pay for it if it involves sports gambling

Not me JJ

Why - forums are free and have as good if not better insight into games.

Everyone “claims” to have an edge to share - if they really believed their own BS - they would be playing and not selling.

People post to forums free to gain a following - giving it away - some hope to be able to charge someday. Others just enjoy the discussion and gaining additional insight free.

The real question is - why would a “pro” spend money on products ?

The goal is to get the right side as cheaply as possible and create an advantage. Giving away money on subscriptions is the equivalent to paying a higher vig on your bets.

No one goes 100% long term - use your own ability and supplement with the available free data and insight and maintain an advantage - don’t give it away supporting someone else’s habit.

I know almost every professional buys a line service that’s fact

then there’s either buying data for models they need API etc. these are real professionals not clowns on forums

I swear every time you post I feel like I’m reading ChatGPT, you’re very intelligent dude that knows a lot of shit about many things, glad you are over here.

Say the same thing about so called professional traders who rely on all those pay sites for investment advice.

40 years ago - getting a volume of information was hard - it made sense to pay a service that compiled info for you for simplicity sake.

Today so much free info out there and not that hard to find. Like the aforementioned lines service - many have free or low cost options - what “advantages” do you gain for using the higher priced options ? More timely updates ?

Old “pros” are likely stuck in their way more than anything. There are people who still read newspapers too - but that base is fading fast.

No, nowadays there are plenty of free resources out there to get data. No reason to pay for it

A lot of ignorance in this thread.

Ck uses Don Best and does quite well with following the money late on certain games. Are you using this pay service as well ? Or what exactly are you paying for …
