Frequently Asked Questions

How can I pay for your picks?

You can pay by picks with a credit card, check, or paypal. Paypal and Clickbank are the credit card processors we use to process payments, both of whom are very well respected online payment websites. We don't take any payments over the phone, everything is done safely and securely online.

What if when I pay by clickbank the charge gets denied?

Try using paypal instead. Or call the phone number on the back of your credit card and ask your bank why the charge didn't go through. Often times it is something silly like the billing zip code or security code didn't match. Any other reason your bank can help you out with.

What time are the picks released?

For basketball, baseball, and hockey all picks are sent the night before giving you plenty of time to bet the games as well as capitalize on the early line value. If you are a night owl you can stay up and wait for the next days plays, or when you wake up before work our premium picks email will be sitting in your inbox.

For our football picks we send an early update during the week normally on Monday morning with some early picks for the weekend. Additional updates come during the week with added picks. And then one final email the night before recapping all the selections as well as a couple late picks. This gives you the best advantage of timing your bets as well as gives us ample time to handicap and have all the information at our finger tips so that we can provide the highest quality of picks.

How do I get the picks?

All of our sports picks are sent via email. If for some reason you are unable to get to a computer you can call our office toll free at 1-800-9-MADDUX and a customer service rep can verify your member status and email address and give you the days picks over the phone.

Do you have lock picks or inside information games?

No, websites that use these terms are scamdicappers. Click the link to understand what a scamdicapper is. Anyone that offers you a can't lose pick or says they have a team of scouts with inside information is a scam artist that belongs behind bars. These types of plays don't exist. These are the same guys that claim they win 75% of their picks and bet millions on games.

The next time someone offers you a lock, 75% winners, or inside information games ask yourself this question. Doesn't this seem too good of an opportunity to be true? The answer is yes it is. These scammers feed off the naivety of the general public.

If you want to see the high pressure salesman squirm a little bit ask him these questions.

1) Why are you being so kind to offer this highly valuable information to me for free?
2) How long have you been betting these 75% winner type games? Ask him how much money he has made over the last year and how many games he has played. The numbers won't match up.
3) Ask him if he has this information how is he getting all this money down and the line isn't moving?
4) Ask him what type of information he has, is the QB just going to pass out on the field? Is the running back just going to hand the other team the ball? Is the starting pitcher going to walk 10 guys in a row. The bottom line is there is no inside information, their responses to any of these questions or any other well thought out question should be very entertaining.
