     Although I am not really interested in betting on games, I am interested
     in hearing about the myriad tip sheets I see advertised in rags like
     Gambling Times, and in schedules.  Some make wild claims, some
     have a softer approach,  some have quotes from people about how
     good tip sheet A is, etc.  The prices for the sheets (or services
     since many allow you to phone up for the line and picks) vary
     widely, from > 1.5K / season to < .1K .  Which are good and
     which are not?  Do any use real mathematics?  Does organized
     crime make money from them?  Which is the best for the money?

     Lets hear about your experiences on the net, or mail to me and
     I will summarize my findings.  I intend to look into the matter
     further anyway...
