Brand X sports ??

I was wondering if anybody knows much about Brand X sports. A few months ago I purchased a 1 day ($25) package that they said was guaranteed or I'd get the whole baseball season free. Well, the picks lost and, despite my numerous emailings, still no baseball picks from them. I wasn't sure if it was just miscommunication or if I should be pissed.

Ok...I'll be first, and I'll be gentle.

You should save your money for your primary purpose. Why are you buying picks?

I was young and foolish at the time. It was the first and last time I bought picks.

Actually I am not against buying picks. I know there are good handicappers, but a three team GUARANTEED parlay system like Brand X offers is a _______________ You can fill in the blank.

DJ.

I guess I should clarify as well. I don't believe that you should be purchasing picks from someone you don't know much about.

Well, I just (very recently) started with the online wagering. So I got the email and thought "no way all their picks will hit - easy way for me to get some recommendations for the rest of the baseball season". Of course, I was wrong, but I've spent far more than $25 to learn other lessons (in New Orleans, but that's a story for another time....)

Would love to hear what $25 bought you in New Orleans...lol.

Ahhh yes, to be young again. I also remember a very expensive lesson learned while stationed in Berlin a loooong time ago. Expensive but something I didn't forget soon <laugh> Lets just say I wound up borrowing cigarette money for the better part of a month.

LOL Rich. I wish I could blame it on youth, but it happened about 4 years ago, which still put me at over 30. I am a slow learner.
