Thanks for the kind thoughts from everyone. Glad I could share some insight I have gathered over the years.

To answer a few questions:

1. I do regularly post here although this season I will probably spend less time with writeups and answering every question. I burned out last season after the All-Star break and began getting lazy and cutting corners and I want to try and pace myself this season.

2. I look at season long over/unders later in March although I don't bet too many. I do like the M's over for the season which I wrote a thesis about in another thread here on Covers.

3. Last season I was up over 80+ units by the all-star break averaging 1.5 units per game but fell apart late and gave almost 3/4's of it back. The past 3 seasons at Covers, I have won approximately 234 units in the regular season.

4. Piljoo - great questions as to there being a point in the season where you walk away...I haven't quite figured that out yet and wish I had last season. I will re-think your question but I don't have an answer yet.

Thanks!

Hey Hunter, I have been following in the last two seasons, not your games but your whole cappingstyle and I really have to say that you do a great job!

Keep up the good work, the kind words here show you that your work is highly appreciated...

Always one of the most informative contributors to the forum Game...love reading your opinions and following your picks...you're always a class act....WIN or LOSE...

Let's hope the haters can simply bite the bullet and stay out of your threads, and let the long summer unfold with some of your insight and some peaceful capping.

Good luck Game

I have followed you for the past 2 years,and you are definately the best capper in baseball(i think you lay off in sept because of all the minor league callups),but i have to wonder where you got your info for pitchers in the A class.You have lincecum going 19-13, but he was 15-7.You also have kershaw listed at 14-16,but he was 8-8 etc.I'm not sure about your stats,but your record and  unit total cannot be questioned.

The records I posted are the teams records in games those pitchers started. The Giants were 19-13 when Lincecum started regardless of whether or not he got a win or loss and the Dodgers were 14-16 in Kershaw's 30 starts regardless of his won-loss record. When it comes to betting, we are only concerned with which team wins and which team loses and not which pitcher is credited with the win or loss.

A number of hockey cappers have asked me to explain what I mean by "not trying to pick the team I think will win (necessarily)" - as you state, many new cappers cannot even conceive of this - it literally "does not compute" lol... I think you got friend requests from at least one or two of them (since I referred them to this essay). I will now be happy to re-post a link to this thread in the hockey forum too as it applies fairly well in NHL betting as well. 

Looking forward to a great season!!
