What happens when you have a guy that would only bet 2-3 games a week, but now he has a service telling him to play 10. And of course he bets more since now he has a "professional" opinion. And then he starts chasing as those 10 star plays start becoming 200 and 500 star plays. So he gets completely buried. That type of story is unfortunately not very rare.
Great response!
