baseball forum cappers to follow?

[ttm]

What's going on with TA? He seems like pure class and I definitely keep a close eye on him, but lately he has been chasing his loses in pretty huge fashion, riding enormous chalk and just... I'm not sure? He is still up, so you can't say much, but there is definitely a lot of chasing going on right there at the moment.

Do not overlook sportspicks in the nfl thread...hes on fire !!!!!!!!!!!

Don't put this information out there! We don't want SP's thread to become like paco's was at the end. Also, when are you going to start posting your own MLB plays instead of ragging on TA all the time?

I think blindly tailing someone can be a useful tool to make money whilst a person is learning how to cap on their own but it can ONLY work if you 100% commit to one capper that has a proven history of success and play every one of their picks each day. It's when people mix and match between people and picks that they run into trouble. Sure if you see 2 cappers whom you respect on the same play then you may wish to increase your bet size a little but eliminating a pick because those same 2 cappers disagree will lead you into trouble in the long run. Remember - it is those plays that helped to comprise that person's winning % in the first place and that's what initially attracted you to them. If you ditch those plays, you're going to eventually miss out on the opportunity to realise that same winning % by making decisions that you're not admittedly ready to make - thus why you're blindly tailing in the first place.

And thank you for including me amongst these cappers. It is beyond flattering but completely unwarranted. I'm just trying to make a buck or two betting on some tennis while having fun with the guys in my thread at the same time. I still have a lot to improve on myself as I feel my learning process will never end whilst I continue to sports bet.

Best of luck everyone!!

I also forgot to mention you in my post... tailing you "blindly" in Tennis was worth what this season so far... 30-40 Units already? Do I really need to know what "deuce" is (I do for the record) to be up a fortune right now on whatever you're on...

I think the "blind" part is finding out with experience of being on the forum, and thoughtful threads like this, who you should be on... If I won the 700k progressive Slot in my casino down the road tomorrow... Better believe I'm taking 100K of that and tailing You in the next Major, Lakerboy in the NBA etc.. . I know one thing, even if I was losing at the end of the year, that I Likely wouldn't have done better myself, and in fact, if I treat it even longer term, I'd probably be doing no worse then sticking it in the tailspin that is the stock market...

I know what you're trying to say, but I'm saying this... Pretend I don't WANT to cap... I don't NEED to cap... Smarter people than myself are doing it for me... Assuming I don't have ANY ego to play my own picks... What possible reason would I have to want to MESS up tailing people who are doing well?

Getting there though is, as you said, the tough part...

I understand completely what you're saying and you're 100% right - why would anyone bother learning to cap on their own if they're lucky enough to stumble across this forum and find people willing to post their plays for free? The problem arises when two things come into play: discipline and ego. To blindly tail properly, you need to bet every pick as it's posted whether the unit size makes you wonder or a capper whom you also respect in another thread is on the opposite side of the play. Also, cappers, no matter how successful, hit cold streaks. It's inevitable and just a part of the natural variance of sports betting. But it's at this point that tailers tend to become frustrated and start to believe they can achieve better results on their own, forgetting why they were tailing in the first place. Normally when they try, Murphy's Law dictates they'll win their first few games, giving them the impression they've got the whole business figured out and they're better off going solo. When reality kicks in and they're brought back down to Earth, they've missed the swing back to normality that their preferred capper has now been experiencing and they usually begin to tail again with a depleted bankroll thus depriving themselves of having the means to tail to their best advantage.

It sounds like you have recognised this and can blindly tail properly. Unfortunately as evidenced on here constantly when a capper is bombarded with negativity because of a losing day, the majority of people haven't come to your same conclusion.

ACtually, I'm the worst at tailing properly... I'm a pure action junkie.. I use Paco's, yours, VG's picks, and do ALL the bad things you are talking about in the first paragraph... Along with Cap some of my own games fairly well, particularly in the Canadian Football (shameless plug)...

What I"m saying is, that knowing how NOT to do it... If someone, this mystical, mythical creature, to come in here, and PROPERLY blindly tail... They would have some pretty good coin right about now...

Furthermore, if this mythical legend even exists, I would almost think that they would have to be the furthest removed from the sports they are betting on, if even NOT be a sports fan at all...

[BetterBizness]

Damn Shari is killin it once again droppin knowledge! Shari Wins!

Wait, she wins by default because she can logically form more than 3 sentences in a row that make sense...

In this Forum what percentile would she be?

[MrTwiz]

Like shari said its nice to watch peoples picks and learn as u go, but most cappers dont tell u how they are capping or what they are looking for. They mostly just post their plays and thats it. Ive gotten better from the forum talks about where to find info, but a lot of cappers here just post plays and dont really give u the "long division" of how they got to their plays

[Pauulzcappin]

rochestertitans on nfl, guy is hitting 70%+ in the pre-season.

[TodaysAction]

What's going on with TA? He seems like pure class and I definitely keep a close eye on him, but lately he has been chasing his loses in pretty huge fashion, riding enormous chalk and just... I'm not sure? He is still up, so you can't say much, but there is definitely a lot of chasing going on right there at the moment.

Good evening ttm,

I was taught a long time ago that if you want to know something about/from someone to ask them directly. You've posted in No Rainouts previously and have seen that when time permits I do respond to each comment/question or they can be sent to my e-mail - my pm box is full.

As to what's going on, there is a hater who only chimes in when I don't have a profitable evening and I've yet to see a posted wager from that same person. I use a selection process that has been profitable for a very long time and do not deviate from it for the season. Upon the season's completion, we review the wager logs to see how things can be improved. If there is something that is working for the current season that we missed, that check starts to be back tested to see if it was a one time season fluke or worth keeping.

The last night's have ended in the red and the four days prior to that were hitting at 72%. All the games were done the same way, not one way for team abc, another for team hij, etc - the line of margin was sharply reduced for this month, meaning less room for errors/mistakes/not normal action from the players. This season has a higher win rate and number of units up verses last seasons.

While it's true I haven't updated my siggy for a couple days/nights, it's because of non-SBR related actions of a non-wager type that have my attention and are taking up much of my extra time; hence this is also why I haven't been on-line here much lately other than to post the days/nights action. Thanks for the kind words and hope you have a successful remainder of the season.

Ta is nothing but solid, season after season

I agree.. One thing though, particularly from Paco's forum, especially because of such few plays, I learned, or at least I THINK I learned about really recognizing pitching matchups.. I would take his plays, and then try and see where he sees the value.. Of course I'm guessing, but I have made some pretty reasonably good calls lately ... Unfortunately, I'm still an action junkie, so it's not helping me much, but nevertheless...

[phillybadboy]

top three mlb sbr cappinpicks, paco, simp def

[sharper2]

one of the hottest capper during mid season in my opinion is caracalla but no one knows about him..he'll rip of a 12-0 streak in the middle of the season and is always +units at the end of a season. but shhh he's a low key secret

[soxwin]

Imagine that it took 53 posts for cappin and one of his ghosts to chime in.... Funny that no one before that mentioned him as a good capper....WONDER WHY

[No coincidences]

In no particular order:

Paco
TA
shoe
jgb
LB
MR. PROFIT

Always check out their picks.

[DaBA]

Lot of names thrown around here I need to check out. Please excuse my ignorance but what happened to paco?

Never mind. I read the other thread.

[Razzzzzor]

pimike

[Razzzzzor]

Wait, she wins by default because she can logically form more than 3 three sentences in a row that make sense... ?

In this Forum what percentile would she be?

That's a question, correct? That's the number "three," correct? Yes, Shari wins because NOT only can she "logically form more than 'three' sentences in a row," but she also OWNS her punctuation!

[mdemps9190]

I really like what Shari said and I cap my own games: The Chaser Plays but I definitely would glance at Paco's thread to see if there were some big plays. I also respect LB a lot so if he post something I'll read it, although I don't venture into his daily baseball thread (only basketball). Shari, hook me up with your tennis link!

[No coincidences]

I concur

I like your picks.

Forgot pimike. And Dexter.

[Vegas Gold]

I would completely disagree... Despite the intent of what I think you mean... I think, that if someone completely tailed Paco, Mr. Profit, G's Picks.. VG etc etc... and did NOT deviate from any play but what they put down, there would be MANY, MANY Investors out there turning a profit...

Where I think MOST people go wrong, is that we want to be a part of our own picks... Use "OUR" own skillz etc... and really, THAT's where we shouldn't be gambling if we aren't as skilled as those others...

I won't rely on myself to rewire my house... Or to remodel my bathroom, even if I could... If I want to gamble and rely on a trusted cappers opinion, that's EXACTLY why I SHOULD be gambling...

Just a different way to think about things...

A Dime better following to the letter Paco, VG, G's Picks, and Mr. Profit as examples, is probably up over 100k right now in the 4 months... Without their own greed and stupidity mucking it up...

Thank you BetterBuziness.....You hit it right on the button. It is very frustrating when people question what you select for the day and don't follow your picks. Those that do follow with me make money have for years. These guys can be beat every year. You can't be greedy and must be disciplined with a good Money Management Plan. Those of you that were with Paco should try to get him back. I have a lot of respect for him and we agree on most ideas. He is CLASS. Thanks again and good luck to everyone here...........Vegas Gold
