Yeah, I tested this out and went negative within 8 picks. The problem is that getting to 10 is a job in its self. So the question is when do you start tailing. Very few every see 16, less at 17 and so on. So the odds of those people making the next pick correct is against them.

What you should do is record which pick over the 4th (meaning start from the 4th pick correct) successfully gets the next pick right.

Pick 4 to Pick 5 = % correct

Pick 5 to Pick 6 = % correct

and so on up to 16

This will at least give you a statistical advantage. However, it  really is a crap shoot. Too many intangibles. The player could rush his pick, The team could loose a key player and so on. So it really is a snowball chance in hell of winning any money at it.

I have tried to find some users with strike rate min. 57% in Survivor in long term and I will try to follow them. I believe it is much useful strategy than tail users from League contests as there they have often 10-20 picks a day which is not usable for real betting...

in the time that i've been here .. one person has made it to 17 and was done at 18.... so once i noticed he was at the time i would have had abuot 5 picks of him then lost when he  loses. if you think abuot it noone really gets to 17 and if you follow the top guy he won't make it to 17 so if you take his pick and he loses before 17, you also lose, so no you won't make money.. your best bet is checking out the top consensus and betting on that

tileman999........YOU have to be an " IDIOT ", lets see, there are 16 possible STRAIGHT bets, and 16 possible OVER & UNDER bets, THAT'S 32 total possible bets already.              Then there are 512 (32x16) possible PARLAYS - a side bet with an over or under attached to it.                                               NOT to mention TEASERS ( a parlay where you add or subtract 6 points from the two lines ). WE are up to a possible 544 bets and there is also something called a reverse bet. SO PLEASE, rent a hoist, so you can get your head.........out of your a.s.s.

If you want to tail you're sniffing the wrong dog's butt. Don't tail the streakers they're just a bunch of lucky tuppys, the tupsiter was 50% when he hit his streak. Go to the MOST WINS MONTH and chart everyone 70% or better take the top 2-3 picks with the least counter opinion. Yesterday you had butler and wvirgina. 2-0  play what you want and if you want to tail.....tail.

The big problem is when you are doubling up on losses & then you the guy you pick  sits out for a day or two or three, etc & doesn't put his pick in because he's up around 10 or more in a row......Wew, well you can't sit at the computer for two or three days just waiting for his pick to show up...it will drive you nuts,  then you gotta go to the store or run an errand, ....you get back & see his pick is up (after waiting 3 or 4 days),  BUT   the game has already started.........BANG
