CBSSportsline

BEWARE when you sign up for a trial period at a lower rate.

No option to cancel by yourself. After trial period, you are being billed full price for 3 months.

Customer service is terrible and always refer to their SHADY no refund policy.

STAY AWAY there are many other services like this one with legit and customer oriented practices

Don't trust this service. I had a trial with the right to cancel in April. I cancelled because I'm not a gambler. Didn't get billed for 2 months. Suddenly they started billing me again in July. I should have caught it but didn't until last month. They said I signed up. I didn't. They just started billing again. I wanted at least a refund for last month and they said no because I had access to their service. But I never logged in again after April and don't even know my username or password. Never used their service again. It's only $50.00 billed over 5 months but they are total cheats. I filed a dispute and my CC company denied my dispute because this company sent them a slip of paper showing they got an ok from AMEX. But I never authorized anything.

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.

Stay as far away as possible from this company. They charged me $99 on my credit card fraudulently. And when I requested a refund within 7 days of the subscription, they refused stating that it is not cancelable. Even the customer service rep if the company agreed with me that it is an unethical practice.

Tried to cancel unwanted service, they refused to refund charge immediately after charge. STAY FAR AWAY

Amateurs. Do not buy access if you are from Poland and do not have a VPN. Their website is not working. They don't warn you about this before you buy. Reporting to support does nothing. They screw customers. Despite many requests, I was not refunded.

They are probably about even money. Win a little more than half--with juice, about even. Cappers are good, fun banter on the show. Coach has an oversized ego but I guess that sells. In the end, you don't need to like Coach, he likes himself enough for the both of you. The show is still worthwhile.

There so bad there charging 50.00 for a year of there picks for every sport. Think about that, it's less than a dollar a day. The problem you're going to think there going to pick winners and your going to get 20 to 30 picks a week, many times picks on both sides of a game. You will go nuts trying to decide what team or handicapper to go with. You will lose money and then find out it's hard to cancel there garbage subscription. Do yourself a favor, bet what you can afford to lose, study and make your own picks. Congratulate yourself on winning weeks and blame yourself when you lose. If your good you'll become that 1 in a thousand that ends up in Las Vegas in a condo with a bank of tv's watching games and making a living betting sports. If not you'll be working for a living, and betting within your means and hopefully losing a small amount of money but otherwise enjoying your self. Stay away from all tout services. Remember the few that can consistently pick winners are in there Vegas condo not sending there picks to a tout service like CBS Sports for a couple hundred a week.

Someone (not me) set up an account. I got charged. They still have not answered how they got my account number. The person on the phone who was a "supervisor" and I say that term very very loosely could not handle someone getting up set because they stole my money but would not refund it. Hint: if you can take the money out you sure as hell can put it back in! Go to your bank was the response which I absolutely plan to do. RUN FAR FAR FAR AWAY! I don't know anything about them as all I do know is they took money out of my account without permission. Then got mad when I said it is f***ing ridiculous. This was answered like a person talking to a five year old because even though it was not at her she couldn't handle nor figure out appropriate response to someone being upset. Having never used them and never wanting to use them this does not do anything to help their creditability or customer service. I find it ironic that I am a "paying", (again they stole from me so I say this term loosely) customer but they did nothing to try to even keep me just go to your bank. It also took me about four times of calling before I was able to get a hold of anyone, yet apparently being frustrated was just to much. Ridiculous and in fact doesn't make me want to do anything with them. Seriously run far far away!

Fraudulent. Don't believe their phony puffed up records. Just keep track a little and see what liars they are. Buy yourself a dartboard.

They have over 15 handicapers and whoever is doing good goes to the top giving the impression there doing good. Lets face it if a sports handicapper is doing good he doesn't need to tout. Just the opposite they lay low and grind out a profit. Problem is they tout these guys so much it gives people the confidence they will bet more than normal and lose more than normal. Now sports is over there touting horseracing. Dont be fooled. There putting picks in the night before not knowing track conditions or scratches or odds. Its a scam don't think because its cbs its legit. Its a TOUT service witch is a scam. One handicapper Jody Demling is decent he picks only stakes races on Saturdays and spreads out bets small and is up alittle this year. SO BE CAREFULL. Opalockafats

I have been playing their picks for a few weeks and they suck. I have lost $50. Honestly, would have been better off just picking the opposite of what they say. Their hockey picks are terrible, NBA picks suck, and CBB picks are a joke. Don't even think about checking out their golf or MMA garbage. The only winning quality is how hilarious it is to read the writeup's of their picks to see just how many things they can get wrong.

Their reviews are subpar, and their user interface is really outdated. When they get you to subscribe, they put you on auto resub, and then don't offer any automated way to unsub. I sat on the phone for 30 mins, finally got through to someone and asked to unsubscribe. They said that I was, and then billed me next quarter anyway. When I wrote an email to complain they said that they could cancel my account but would not refund me the most recent "payment". What a crock.

I subscribed to this service about two weeks ago and used Mike McClure's NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB lineups for DraftKings on an almost-daily basis. I lost my money pretty quickly. I should have seen this coming from the tacky and overly aggressive marketing materials (it kept me away for a while), but I assumed from the CBS brand that I was getting a reputable product. I don't think I did. You'll hit a 10x or 20x payday as the marketing materials are quick to point out, but they are rare and do not make up for the 70+ % of lineups that are total duds. I also wouldn't be surprised if this guy were keeping his best lineups to himself (there's an obvious conflict of interest here) and publishing inferior lineups. I love the concept and think it'll become a big market, but this doesn't get us there. I'm really surprised CBS would tarnish its brand with a sleazy product like this.
