The single-pick arithmetic
You pay once and receive one play. The cost per pick is higher, but the commitment is zero and you can measure the seller with their own product. It is the only way to test a service without putting a whole month's money up front.
The subscription arithmetic
You pay for a month and receive whatever comes out. The cost per pick falls if the channel posts frequently; it climbs a long way if some days there is nothing. Before paying, ask for the real daily average, because that is what decides whether the numbers add up.
When the single pick wins
When you do not know the seller yet. When you bet now and then, or only on specific dates. And when you want to follow one particular play without committing to a whole service. In those three cases, paying for a month is paying for days you will not use.
When the month wins
When you have already followed the service for thirty or fifty plays and have your own number. When you bet frequently and the saving per unit is real. And when what you buy includes something beyond the pick, such as access to a community or to alerts.
The annual subscription trap
The discount for paying twelve months up front sounds good and is the worst moment to take it: it ties you to a service you have not measured, and if it stops performing in month three, you have already paid through to month twelve. The discount is for the seller, not for you.
Both, without tying you down
We sell the pick one at a time, with a single payment and no subscription, so you can test; and there is a monthly channel with paid tipsters, no contract, for anyone who already wants volume. Compare the two ways →
