How do you handle Capper Conflicts ???

jacksonjohn · Jun 23, 2007

For those of you who follow several cappers at once, how do you handle the conflicting picks? For example, say you watch 6 cappers and 2 are on the favorite and 4 are on the dog. If you wait for all to be on the same side, you only get a few plays a week. All comments welcome (and yes, I know many of you think I should be doing my own capping).

Cant talk for everyone, but if a capper I respect is on the other side of a game I like, it usually becomes a "no play". I would think that would be the best strategy in the above case. There are many games each day and many days of baseball. No need to "force" a play. Just my opinion

I agree with TN there is no need to force games.It's a long season there will be many spots to make money.

You cant follow too many, jumping around will lead you to the poor house, follow two or three at the most.

I think it depends on how much the cappers like the plays. If one is on the Yankees for 5 units and the other is on the Giants for 1 unit, I wouldn't no play the Yanks, just go lower then 5 units.

If you only look at the cappers picks to form your own decisions then it's probably best to pass on a game where there are differing opinions.
But if you have decided to follow these cappers blindly then you should subtract the number of units the minority side would bet from the amount the majority would bet on their selection and bet the resulting number of units on the majority's pick.

It's real simple, go to the tracker forum and see who the top `cappers are on.
