Yeah I know it's legit. It's just that the original post kinda sounded like a "hey I can help you guys out" thing. Then it turned into a "pay me" thing. Just sayin I doubt you have many takers at that rate.

bobby is actually charging less than the standard proxy fees

its natural to get paid to put in the weekly picks for someone

And if we are going to The Men's Club here in Houston mine is a good deal too. Ask anyone who has been there.

Point remains thread started out sounding different to me and apparently to some others. No biggie jump in and pay the fee. Just wouldn't do it myself. Seems steep.

The picks have to be placed in person by the contestant or their designated proxy. That's 17 trips to the Hilton for $250 which is less than $15 per week. That doesn't seem steep to me.
