When looking for the best capper, don't forget the best money manager included in the criteria. Picking winners is one part, but the money management is your life line. Pick 70% winners and initiate foolish money management, the 30% loosers will put you in the bust house.
Look for posters with good unit return and I don't mean the "I will take 5 units on this game". One unit, one game. See where the unit count is. That will give you a clear indication who is successful. Parlay guys are very risky. The action is there but the risk is too great. They are fun to tail but be careful.
The most disciplined money manager I know, is the TheLock. Regardless of the size of his bankroll, he is downright disciplined. Most guys have this problem with the money. No more than 2% to 4% of your roll should be risked at one time. You have to protect against the downside, for the upside is real easy to survive.
I would be real skeptical to tail those who don't post their money to the spreasheet or don't disclose their money flow.
Winners and Money Management is the key, the rest are charlitans (I think I spelled that correctly or not.
