tv poker/scouting reports

[asorewinner 0]

I wonder.....Internet poker provides for a wealth of information gathering...Hand histories, stats, tendancies etc...With all the poker on TV (granted, most of it is short table or final table action which is much different from early or middle tourney action and highly edited) I wonder if anyone has paid someone to watch and track players.In a sense create scouting reports on other players.what would a pro be willing to pay to get such information in a spreadsheet/poker tracker form?if a person were to tape every poker event on TV and create such a form, what would it be worth?trey

Um, brilliant idea except for the fact that you don't see 90% of the action that happens on the tv tables. So, the info you would need to get is more of physical tells, you can't really get a betting pattern on someone after watching them play 10 hands on TV.
