https://www.covers.com/forum/ViewThread/103424881/best-cappers/1#post-128297426 stop trying to promote youself as some great capper. maybe you are maybe your not thats besides the point but none of the other guys go around touting themselves lol
When exactly did SB become a “great” capper. As far as I know the fuger doesn’t even cap games? He knows a couple “Golden rules” but outside that he’s following the “sharps” and frankly I am very dubious of even that. He’s hot and that will end. So please until he’s earned something let’s not put him in with others with a proven track record. Thank you!

It is your money, so do with it as you please.  Here are some things to mull over about tailing...

#1  If you tail, do NOT come back and bash the OP of the pick you lost on.

#2  Tailing strategy is not wise if you are betting serious money - esp. money you cannot afford to lose (like rent or mortgage)

#3  Tailing for fun or to have action (playing small bets) not an issue if you don't have knowledge on the sport

I play $25-$50 mostly, and this is totally a hobby for me.  If I go 40-45%, I am usually only down a few hundred bucks by end of the season.  Again, treating it as a hobby, and not to make money.  I go to work 50+ hours a week to make a living, much easier to way to fill up the 'ol bank account, and much easier to control your fate...

If you are betting over a grand on each game, and just blindly tailing a bunch of cappers on this fourm, then in the long run, you will lose.

Personal example:

2018 FIFA World Cup.  I know little about betting soccer or International teams, so I started tailing DoubleUp and his EA FIFA Sims.  Small bets, and started winning.  Bumped up my bets after getting up a couple hundred, his Sims streak stayed hot, and I won like $400+.

I fully aware this was blind tailing, and I fully recognized the risk.  But it was worth it to me, b/c my kids and a lot of our close friends are huge soccer nut-jobs, so we were watching a lot of the games, and having action on them made it more exciting to watch.  If his Sims started going tits up early on, I would have stopped, and probably just played unders (unders are typically good bets in Elimination style formats, regardless of sport type). 

Remember kids - this story is the exception.  D-Up had a ridiculous run of luck (or did he...???) with the Sims picking the field over 80%.  

Good luck with all your picks. peace_5

I feel that too many people fall for the comedy threads on here. I'm not saying names it's not my style. But, look at the # of views and comments on those goofy threads with crazy guarantees. I post picks but I go through respectable cappers threads to see if I'm missing something. A lot of times I still go opposite.

I crush the Summit Conference. I'm 14-1 the last 15. And I get a fairly respectable capper telling me I'm wrong and it's a horrible pick. I win my total bet by 17 points. Point is, throw the ego away.

Also, whatever happened to that Black Cannons guy? He was hot for awhile then went a little cold. I know there was some political talk, maybe that chased him off?
