I have a lot of thoughts about Sportsline. I'll start with the few good things the site does. First, the price is decent, only if you get the promo price of $35/year—especially considering Vegas Insider charges $200/week. The amount of data you get for $2.92/month is probably the only redeeming quality of this site. Second, while most of the experts are atrocious, there are 3-4 that actually seem to care or know what they're doing. Now for the bad. The site tracks win-loss and not profitability. The site cherrypicks records—there's zero chance all "40 experts" are profitable. The "analysis" for 90% of the "experts" is brutally bad. I won't touch on its "advanced computer model" because it's terrible. I also won't touch on the apparently egregious billing problems other people seem to have because I haven't had that experience. I was actually notified my subscription was expiring/did expire, and I still had access to the site for another 2 weeks. The site preys on people who have no idea what they're doing. All that said, I still use the site—I just make a new account each year to get the "promo." You truly can't beat the $2.92/month price if you use the site purely as a reference point, figure out which "experts" are legit, and actually analyze the "expert analyses." You could probably make more money fading most of the picks. In sum, if you decide to purchase a Sportsline subscription, (1) buy a Visa vanilla gift card, (2) make a new account to get the actual price, and (3) absolutely do not rely solely on the site to be profitable.
