If players pick and choose the plays they want because of the marketing, or a feeling, or even based off the cappers past record, they are taking a lot of the skill out it and relying on luck which is not the side to be on even if they have hit 75% of their last goy's. I know a lot of the really successful people on here claim people should only follow a play if it "makes sense". The thing is i don’t have the many hours it takes to dedicate to capping on my own and figure these things out. I research the tout, i pay for their service, i play there system exactly as told, i play every pick as told, i track all plays. If things get off track for a while and the capper goes on a losing streak i take a break and let them get it out of there system before i jump back on board. I also diversify between at least 2-3 cappers in each sport much like a stock portfolio. I know i could do better, especially if i didn’t have to drop $500 for a season worth of picks. But in the end i make a profit and i get the action i love.
