A Monitor is an independent company that “keeps track” of legitimate Sports Services Selections. A service must call in their Selections before game time and the Monitor tallies their record as the year goes on. This prevents a Service from claiming that they have hit 80% winners for the season when in all likelihood, they are nowhere near the percentage they tell you. All Monitors, however, are not honest. Some are paid extra to allow Services to give them “false” picks after the games are finished and some are even owned by other Sports Services. This is obviously a huge conflict of interest. There are two legitimate independent Monitors that the majority of Services deal with. They are the Sports Monitor out of Oklahoma City and the Sports Watch in Las Vegas. Be certain when you deal with a professional handicapper they are monitored by at least one of these companies.
