    People around here need to learn how to cap games

    When I go through this forum, the scarcity of the number of winners posted is pretty alarming. I don't think theres that many good cappers on this forum.

    Also its a common misconception that "If people were that good, they wouldnt even post here". Bullshit. Not necessarily true at all.

    Makes me wonder how you guys cap your games... I think you are putting emphasis on the wrong stuff and not enough emphasis on the stuff that actually matters.

    This post is obviously not directed at everyone. Theres a few good ones here, and I know damn well who you are.

    My personal thing has always been money management, but this year I have forced myself to take it serious and am seeing the results already. I don't ever plan on making another deposit into any book ever again.

    Im not tryint to throw my leg around my neck and suck my own dick here, Im just wondering how you people cap your games.

    Thats unsustainable throwing darts or flipping a coin.

    The laws of reality and mathematics are sneaking up on you as we speak.

    You're plays that you post scream of total degeneracy and a cry for help not a desire to sell picks.

    Then on a night with few games and not enough large money lines to parlay together, you get mad at the forum for not posting any plays.

    I dunno man, in the Beat The Prick contest, the number is right on 50%...Aint terrible for a group of "bad cappers".

    Sure that isn't winning money but it's far from being bad. If every week we bet 4 games and go 2-2 We lose 20 bucks at 100 bucks a game.

    Emily, most of your posts don't even warrant a response, and this is one of them.

    I don't need any help.

    50% is not good man. Thats not making money, its losing money.

    The goal here is not to pay money to watch sports.

    The oddsmakers have access to these Trends, Stats and Analyses too as do everyone else who wants to make a bet. Where does your edge come from and is it enough to overcome 4.76% juice/vig?

    For 90% of people the answer to this question is no (even higher if they are not betting into opening lines) and even then the majority of that remaining 10% fail due to lack of discipline.

    33% with a 800 profit, sure 800 bucks is a nice profit for people that wager 100 bucks a game.

    But you wager 4K + a day, I don't think I'd be considering that a big profit in terms of how much you wager.

    People around are here are so primitive, so combative.

    Its sad that people are unable to see the potential we have here as a forum. Instead we just fight amongst each other.

    I know what path I am on. Its a golden one.

    It's funny that the same guy is telling the forum that there is not many good cappers here.

    He posted a parlay of a -600 game and I believe a -240 game the other night. I don't know if a guy betting 2 game heavy chalk parlays should be talking about cappers in general. Just mind your own and keep winning money, but no room to talk about others.

    Winning money speaks for itself.

    It does take capping to know that a team will not lose. A lot of -240 games lose all the time.

    I agree with the people who say capping is not necessary. In some cases it may even be detrimental.

    What kind of potential do we have as a forum? You just said there are hardly any good cappers, so all of us bad cappers should get together and talk about a game and lose it, since were all bad and that's going to be the outcome? Doesn't make much sense.

    Bad capping is something that can change with the necesssary tools.

    I believe all the necessary tools and resources are at our disposal.

    Like "John Dobbs" says on his national hotline...

    "I have a USA map on my wall... I throw a dart at it... whatever main city it lands nearest too... I'm taking that team."

    Thats not a moneymaking strategy long term.


    Frankly I am kind of appalled at some of the responses on this thread.
