@SportsIntuition its very easy to beat the contest closing line when there is a few minute delay between the real line move and the contest line move. mollydog does put in the work to win these contests and kudos to him for that. people do make real money playing steam but its not as easy as it used to be and books are quick to boot steam players. |

@tvigilante2020 mollydog is a beast. im pretty sure he plays don best steam plays and hits the covers contest before the contest line moves. it is a great example of how to make real money if you have the right tools and know how. i would highly suggest not following his plays because he is catching line moves and you would be getting the worst of it. |

@tvigilante2020 thats interesting. I havent really looked into the team experts because i assumed there was just an element of luck but i will take a closer look. i seem to be getting some results by taking the top few cappers and getting a consensus play or two on totals then possibly fading it. i still need to track it longer before i use it. i tracked that same thing the last few years and seem to be getting good results but dint track it long enough. the consensus plays on sides seem to hit a little better than 50/50 but nothing that i could bet money on. i am going to have to start tracking more long term the consensus of the top yearly cappers and weekly cappers. i am really trying to find a system of using this sites contest pickers to help with my mlb picks. the top cappers from the previous years rarely seem to do very well the following year. i do handicap alot of my own games and also do alot of screen watching to make money. i am hoping to find a system in this way to help cut down on my time. |

@thirdperson Yep im already on that path but havent found that winning formula here yet. right now im tracking these guys. nba sides arsenal588 nba totals johngalt2341 ncaa hoops oknab77 nhl sides robert78lodz they are all in that vein of not picking every side and total. not just playing steam and usually picking early. ive done similar tests the past few years also but by the time i go to follow them i seem to catch them when they are cooling off. have you had much luck following guys in this manner? |

I have tried a few different strategies for using the contests here to make real money but havent had much success. granted i havent given anything in particular enough time. im not talking about following a particular capper. because they vary from year to year.. here are some of the strategies ive tried so far. playing the number 1 cappers picks rated by either sides or totals. examples would be in hockey robert78lodz is the top rated sides hockey capper so i would follow his picks and jaybosstien is the top rated nhl totals player right now so i would follow those. same for nba or mlb or any sport. i know mollydog is a beast on basketball but he only or mostly plays steam so thats unfollowable. ive also tried making a consensus using the top handicappers in their sport but my results so far have been to play the opposite when the top few cappers are all on the same side. granted i would need to do a bit more research before i start putting any money on that. years ago i followed a contest with terrific results. majorwager had an mlb pick of the day contest where guys had to pick 2 games. the second was an alternate in case of rain out and the top two guys just smashed it the 2nd half of the season and i was lucky enough to jump on at the right time.
just curious if anyone here has had any positive results contest following..

If every instinct you have is wrong then the opposite would have to be right
in NHL Betting once you realize that you already know how to lose consistently just do the opposite of that and dont look back. and dont zig zag |
