Experiences with following tipsters?

[pinkisntwell]

Ever since I got a full-time job I've not had time to follow sports as closely as I used to, thus I have stopped betting. I'm thinking of starting again, but this time by following proved tipsters, like the ones in PL's tipster league. Do you think this is a viable approach? I want to hear from people who have tried this; what were the unforeseen problems you encountered? Did you make any money?

Re: Experiences with following tipsters? There's only answer I could ever consider giving to this. As blunt as it may be, if you don't have the ability to be able to make your own decisions, or go with your own instincts rather than relying only on other peoples opinions, then you shouldn't be betting. You seem to want "other people to do the work for you" all round, even to the point of asking if other punters think the tipsters are reliable, yet that's information you yourself can ascertain if you can be bothered to by checking the results of their tips. Seems like a totally pointless thread to me.
