Top MLB forum handicappers having a good season!

TOP MLB forum handicappers of note

My capping skills teeter on the weak side so I try to watch the winning and/or popular handicappers to learn how they succeed and maybe pick up some tips to improve my game.  I do not tail these people, but I frequently check their picks to see if maybe I should re-examine my own when they oppose.

Here are the results of the 5 top records that I could verify plus a couple other very popular members!

I analyzed their posted picks from the perspective of a lurker who would bet just one unit on each of their picks that were posted before gametime.

Multi-unit designations are stripped away since that is totally irrelevent to one's ability to pick more winners than losers.

Also LIVE game action bets are not counted.

100 picks minimum needed to qualify in TOP HANDICAPPER category.

This is neither intended to backpat anyone nor demean anyone. If you read it negatively then YOU are reading it wrong.

I don't have the time nor inclination to score forum records for everybody. But if I mistakenly missed a TOP HANDICAPPER (when all his picks scored only by one unit!) then please advise and I can take a look and update if he qualifies.

Gross units (after stripping down to one unit each pick):
(Always the bottom line to a good season!)

+44.60   fubah2
+42.34   weeble5672

+25.34   Coloneljim
+19.54   SteveA2009
+14.88   Kingcapper77

 + 5.93   Kaufee
 - 7.97   Brooklyncapper* (only from May 6 to date)
*Covers.search only goes back to May 6, and Google searches were futile

Net Units per pick ratio:
This ratio is indicative of handicapping skill to this part of the season 

0.171    fubah2     (44.60 units from 260 picks)
0.111    Coloneljim  (25.34 units from 227 picks)
0.107    Kingcapper77 (14.88 from 138 picks)
0.097     Kaufee   (5.93 from 61 picks; but well short of minimum 100)
0.058   SteveA2009 (19.54 units from 336 picks)
0.045   weeble5672 (42.34 units from 940 picks)
-0.07    Brooklyncapper* (-7.47 units from 112 picks only since May 6)

 Congrats gentlemen on a good start to the season!

Lots of work but certainly good to know for anyone following cappers. 

FunkyRufus is arguably the best overall capper on this forum. 

Good info, I look everyday to see what the "top" cappers (mentioned above, plus a couple you missed) like, for personal reaffirmation.  It gets frustrating and irritating to open threads of cappers who aren't even doing better than a coin flip.  I used to post my plays everyday and I did well (close or above 60%).   If I was a "coinflipper picker"...lol... or worse, personally, I would stop posting my plays.  Anyway, all info is appreciated and we are all here to help each other make money and win...Peace! 

Where does fubah post plays? All I see is #s

@JoseAlonso787

@KC_4_LIFE

 Agreed on funky. He is in a league of his own. 

@JoseAlonso787

Yep!!  I had this nagging feeling I was missing somebody good but drew blanks, until you posted!  Thanks!

Kinger7650 is doing quite well!  He accidentally messed up his season total count on May 13-14 by one tally each but not a big deal.

 I have him scored at 60-33 (not 59-32) for a nice +17.95 units! 

Technically doesn't qualify enough picks yet but he will by the weekend, and check this out: he moves into TOP SPOT ahead of fubah2 with the highest "Net units/pick" ratio at  0.193  entering today!  

I will repost an updated chart soon but am checking on a couple others first....

Deal breaker right here.

Many punters don't "flat bet" and have great success.

Yep, for sure it was.

I am still baffled as to why I can't find Brooklyncappers posts on the internet for April.  I can for the other guys but not his. It seems Covers.com limits their search results to a set number of threads so I had to Google and that got way frustrating.

nice shit

Exactly, and me included,  except for the great success part.

However we can't properly COMPARE that way. For that reason, all must be judged as if a lurker was only willing to bet one unit on each pick, which is fair.

What a person chooses to bet in terms of $$$ is only relevent to him.

whos the capper who does pitching props.

@WingiYou have to sift through to find the plays usually...but hes good

Agree    Kinger is having a good run 

I must have just overlooked it. I can’t find anything besides this team looks good and stuff like that. 

Good info and research zircon 

Betorrific is going well I think

@zircon

 Good info,  and a lot of work no doubt  

I especially like this new stat:  "net units per pick ratio." 

Makes sense to me as it is a far better stat than win-loss or win percentage, since they don't factor in the juice paid but this stat does. 

Although these two stand out well above the rest  

I run threw the forum each day about 11:00 am eastern. I really like the cappers who not only put their picks up but have a well written post to back up their reasoning. I am not great at MLB but I hold my own in NCAAB. I am new here and I find this site GREAT for information. BTW does anyone here remember BigGuys.com. Somewhat similar to this site. (don't Google it unless you put sports betting in there, it will be hard to unsee some of the results. LOL) That site is not around anymore but it was fun. 

still have a game going on but thought about you checking percentages and am VERY THANKFUL FOR YOUR THREAD IN THAT REGARD... good stuff to know
