Looks like you just copied the list of handicappers from Cappertek. What makes your site better than theirs?

There are only a few cappers that graded A or B because they decided to pay you to be listed. Very disappointed to see RX allow such a fraudulent advertiser.

If I start Hot Pizza Handicapping Service today, I can follow the rules and pay you and I'll be an A listed handicapper with only a few releases.

Sounds good to me.

I typically don't comment on such posts but after looking at your site, I was wondering why I had never heard of your so called A rated handicappers, didn't take long to find out why.

Steer clear.

I want to assure you we do not sell grades. We clearly state how to earn a grade based on transparency. Within each Capperfile, contains a breakout of items that identify the points that the handicapper has rightfully earned: It may be 3rd party monitoring, archived picks, etc. It is important we are transparent as well as the handicappers - and we have nothing to hide. Cappersfile.com wants to improve the handicapping industry. We are raising the standards with our set criteria that demands honesty and transparency.

"Hotpizza" if you are posting because you are upset with a poor grade - please contact us and we can help you understand our grading criteria and ways you yourself can be a more transparent handicapper. You can earn a good grade and not pay us a penny - this is not just an offer to you but this is to all handicappers. We simply do not sell grades. We will NEVER sell a grade.

If you would have taken the time to look at our site, you would have been able to figure this out yourself, instead its seems that you would rather make ignorant accusations.

How do you get an A on Cappertek? I have no idea, neither does anyone else. There is no system in place. It's like me asking you, what do you grade _____.

Grades over there cannot be taken seriously - and that's a shame because they do have such reach.

Cappertek is part of the problem. They are marketers. They build turnkey website with outrageous claims built in. Go ask them to build you a website and put We Won 75% of our plays last year, and they will do it and give you an A or B rating on top it.

Go through their ratings and you will see cappers that aren't monitored that have outrageous claims and terrible reputations in the industry.

Of Course We have a lot of the same services listed - We're competitors in the same market, grading the same services. We will continue to seek out handicappers to grade, and will grade them by our set criteria which is always objective, never subjective.

The bottom line, our grades are earned, not given, not sold.

A grades are reserved for paid cappers or services ran by cappersfile themselves. Cappertek does the same thing.

Also capper file gets less than 25 visitors per day and most of those visits are clones cappers owned by the site themslevs or paid cappers who bought a rating. global alexa rank of almost 6 million means people rarely visit this domain. so the rating is pretty much done by the owners themsevles, not actual users who used the services. atleast in cappertek actual users can review the services.

This is completely incorrect. There are only a few A and B cappers, due to our strict criteria for a transparent handicapper. Please see our list of how to obtain grades posted above - see for your self how many handicappers meets the criteria.

My apologies but what you had stated is also incorrect. A grades are rightfully earned by each A rated handicapper. As stated above I don't know how cappertek distributes grades, it is none of my business - but we openly share how we award grades... and it is not by someone paying us. And I would really like to see where you obtained your information of how many visitors per day - i have been wanting to know myself. Cappersfile does allow users to review their services for those that obtain user names, identify a proof of service. Grades are given by Cappersfile set criteria on a scale of A,B,C,D and F; Users can grade on a scale of 1 to 5 stars if they have a Cappersfile user ID.

Our registration is on an auto renew. I would like to state that Cappersfile was developed to help the customers of handicappers identify a trustworthy source. Cappersfile awards good grades to those handicappers that are transparent and show/prove their honesty/records. Cappersfile.com is here to stay and WILL push to help move this industry in a positive direction.

What if the handicapper is on several sites that post every single play that that handicapper posts and grades them all equally at $100 plays?

So you have decided in your greater wisdom that if they don't post on your site them they are graded D or F. Now how is this fair? And how does this increase transparency or honesty in the industry?

If anyone feels we have incorrectly graded any handicapper - or any handicapper doesn't feel they received an accurate grade please challenge us. We certainly want to project a grade that the handicapper deserves/earned. Please email me at Cappersfile@gmail.com- If you don't want to email- post your website and concern for everyone to see...I will resolve in the open.

gremlin · Oct 29, 2014

Seems like the most well known names in the pick-selling industry are not represented, which really limits the scope of the site. It's a good idea but rather useless in it's current form, without the most significant segment of the market represented. If Capperfile is branded as 'The Largest Online Databse' why rush the release of the site before the database is compiled comprehensively?

KillerSportsPlays · Oct 29, 2014

Capperfile, who elected you police, judge and jury of this industry? That being said, the idea is a good one. I just detest that anyone who does not bow to your wishes and summit their picks to your site gets a bad grade unless they prove to you their worthyness. It should be voluntary whether they want to post on your site. And you have ever right to grade and make up any rules for the ones that summit the plays to your site in any fashion you see fit. But don't give good people in this industry bad marks just cause they don't post on your site. If their are legitimate reviews, yes each handicapping service should have the right to defend themselves. But they shouldn't have to be judged as guilty until proven innocent by you or anyone else.

Please understand we are not asking anyone to submit their picks to us to prove worthiness. Grades are earned on the criteria posted on our website and on an earlier post within this thread. We have established this grading criteria based on handicapper/website transparency. We feel it is important as a handicapper to be monitored by a 3rd party (we do not do this)- we feel it is important to share your picks history (on your website), provide guarantees, and allow for any potential customers to easily identify your raw performance history so that they can make a judgement call on if they would like to pay for your services. Unfortunately there are too many handicappers that do not present their raw performance history and only advertise when times are good.
The great thing about our website is that we openly share how we obtain each handicappers grade. We feel it is necessary for us to be transparent as well as the handicappers.
