This is a question that I am also curious about.
Also, what would be a good book to use for baseball? I'm with BetJamaica right now, but their lines aren't as good as Pinnacle; however, Pinnacle charges $15 for every withdrawal and I play with very little money, and that would severely eat into my winnings. I'm very interested in Matchbook, but don't know much about them. They seem like they would be great for baseball.

Bet JM is good for baseball, if you only use one book and are a very small player I would use either them or 5 dimes.
I think 40 units can work following Bucsfan, his plays are 1, 2, or 3 units but he plays a lot of games everyday. Losing or Winning 10 units in a day is seen quite a few times in the season. If Bucs stars the season out on a good note you should be ok.
However, if you have the option I would change your unit size so that you start out with at least 60 units. Change later in the season if your bankroll is built up enough if you want.

It depends on what your goals are.
10 units might be enough. Or 300 may not be.
Consider the following capper's record:
2001 +127.7 units
2002 +209.1 units
2003 +78.8 units
2004 +84.96 units
2005 -93.08 units
2006 ?

40 units is not enough.No reflection on Bucsfan or any other capper.Minimum of 100 units.I play much more conseratively than that.I use 200 units as a startingpoint and go from there.I will incresae my unit value as my bankroll increases.Think you are asking for trouble if you use his or anyone elses plays with only 40 units behind you.
It all depends on what your unit value is.
1 Unit = $1, 1 Unit = $10, 1 Unit = $100
Starting Bankroll of $2000 with $50 a unit gives you 40 units to work with. If its not enough cut it down to $25 a unit.
The man thing is, how much can you afford to lose ???
He may go on a 20+unit run, but he might also hit a streak and be down 20 units. Your bankroll and money management has to be able to carry you through the good and bad times.

Hello to all,
also looking forward to baseball, though this year i wish that college hoops never end.
First of all: Bucsfan is one of the greatest capper in baseball (also i don't want to forget to mention choptalk, journeyman, tomorrow's newspaper and other great baseball capper,sorry if i forgot one), but i find it scary how many people are already relying on bucsfan.
Did it ever come to your mind that also a great capper like bucsfan could have a loosing season? Imo you are putting to much pressure on this guy before season started. And newbies could get a false picture of reality. And past records didn't help much for the actual season, right? They just show that ability is there to cap baseball games and it shows the end result, but id doesn't show the bad streaks which can wipe out a newbie with not much cash in the account. So, it can happen you follow someone blindly who won more than 100 units last season, he wins this season again more than 100 Units, but you lost 40 Units, because you catched a bad streak and your money is gone.
If i were a newbie and read all the postings from the last days i would go to my bank, withdraw 10000 or 20000, put it in my betting acount and follow bucsfan and at the end of season i would count my money. If it would be that easy we would all be on the bahamas and drinking cocktails, right?
Also i have made the experience that someone who is a good capper and had a bad season often have a great next season.
Maybe the expectations are just a little bit to high.
cheers and good luck to all,
colton

100+ units in a season is certainly no sure thing, but it would be impossible for someone like me or Bucsfan to have a losing season in baseball. 100% impossible. There is too much margin for error and too many games in a season not to finish up in the ++++.
Its not like football where if you have 4 bad Sundays 25% of the season is over.
The only thing that can derail a newbie following some of the top cappers at this forum is poor money management.
