CAP stands for “CUT AND PASTE” CAPPER!

OK, this article might come across as a bit “who the f*%k are you” type article or “Ron, what’s up your ass today”, but after 12-years of being in the sports handicapping business and seeing all sorts of wannabe handicappers come and go all over the net, radio and TV, it’s time to lay it out there and expose the fraud cappers who just want to ride the backs of the real hard working guys in the industry who are sick and tired of seeing these come by night guys get a free ride. Plus, this article is done with a little bit of tongue and cheek, but the real handicappers out their will probably chime in with some “good one, but you forgot this type of handicapper”.
<o></o>
The name of the game is “sports handicapping” and when a handicapper gives out a pick, they MUST have a theory on “how did they come up with that pick?” and real handicappers will give you sound reasoning behind their selections, not a “cut and paste” job they stole from Statfox, Covers, or ATS Database. You know what I’m talking about, the handicappers who just steal sports betting information from these sites and make it like it comes from their own little theory on why they like this game.
<o></o>
What makes a real sports handicapper? In my own opinion and it might not be shared by many, but to me a real handicapper is somebody who can crunch the numbers and beat the bookmakers line. A person who has a good general knowledge of the game and sees it from a sports betting point of view and plays those situations to their advantage against the point spread. To me a handicapper is a person who sees the game from a sports betting point of view and is always working towards beating the pointspread. A handicapper never stops thinking; parity has force us all to change and a real handicapper will always be in research and development mode, if not, they are dead in the water!
<o></o>
Therefore, be on the look out for the fraud handicappers who look like this;
<o></o>
The “Weekend Warrior” Capper: This Handicapper has a regular day job and once Friday comes around, they pop open a cold one and give out picks so they can have action on their picks they think people are following. You see, the wife won’t let them spend money betting, so by giving out picks, their action is the picks people are following.
<o></o>
<o></o>
The “Copy Cat” Capper: Love this guy, he waits in the weeds like a sniper for all the real cappers to put out their picks, they might at times build a consensus of picks and then come up with their top consensus selection. Also known as the Consensus capper, service capper or the too cheap to buy picks capper.
<o></o>
The “No write up” Capper: The No-write up capper can be viewed in many ways. Either they are the laziest people you’ve ever met in your life or they have a theory on how they came up with their selection, but don’t want to share it with their clients, because it’s like the Caramilk secret. Too good to share! However, if they give out picks with no write ups and the picks lose on a consistent basis, then you can label them as the “Triple C Capper”!
<o></o>
<o></o>
The “Silver Bullet” Capper: Aw yes my friends, the Silver Bullet capper is a real treat! Here’s a capper who won one big tournament/contest 20 years ago and is still living the high life off that one big contest win. It’s funny, most of these cappers will have that one big year and then go in the tank, but for some unknown reason, people still want their picks! I guess some people who are buried in a hole won’t stop digging until they are fully buried!
<o></o>
The “Forum” Capper: Love the forum capper; they are the ones who have different theories each week on why they love their pick. Almost like the flavor of the week, but as long as forumville shows them love, they will keep motoring along. Sort of like the energizer bunny. But you know what, this poor bugger doesn’t’ realize, he’s doing the site owner a huge favor, because most sports betting forums depend on users for their content and they just build the forum capper up until they lose or aren’t popular anymore.
<o></o>
The “Eager Beaver” Capper: Here’s the young buck right out of high school or is a first year college student trying to make extra money for beer money and will soak in everything to gain knowledge and look for that quick fix. However, the Eager Beaver Capper has no respect for the people before them and don’t care whose toes they step on!
<o></o>
The “I Think” Capper: Here’s a rule of thumb out there for all business owners; As soon as somebody says “I think…..” stop them right away! Anybody who starts a sentence with “I think” is a bullshit artist who’s going to waste your time and money. Cappers of confidence will start a sentence with I know or I understand…blah, blah, blah….The “I think” Capper can also go as the “I believe” or “I feel” capper. Why don’t they just say: “after you buy my pick, I think I’m going to use your money to put gas in my car and grab a six pack and smokes on the way home!”
<o></o>
The “Part Time” Capper: The part time capper is a person of opportunity. You see, most industry has a down time and normally this is when businesses use this time for research and development or upgrade their business tools etc…However, the Part Time Capper is living large and just hanging low until it’s peak season again. The Part Time capper reminds me of the Seinfeld episode of the “Bizzaro World”, where Elaine had two sets of friends, the winter friends and the summer friends. The Part Time Capper will only work when it benefits them to work.
<o></o>
The “My Buddy Said” Capper: Probably the most annoying capper of them all. You know the person, he will come out on a forum and say; “my buddy is a billionaire and says to take the METS today at -320”. Don’t you just love this guy, he’s actually giving you billionaire picks and he probably wants you to click on his link that will lead to his affiliate Sportsbook account. Tell your buddy to shove his pick right up <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice:smarttags" /><st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">BS Avenue</st1:address></st1:Street> and <st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">Mike Hunt Boulevard</st1:address></st1:Street>!
<o></o>
Last but not least, the “Cap” Capper: The CAP capper is the person who is not a sports handicapper and has no clue on how to handicap a game. Why else are they giving you a STATFOX or COVERS “cut and paste” job on why THEY like the game. Real sports handicappers who gives analysis and write ups are suppose to give you a reason on why THEY like the game, not Statfox or Covers. If so, why don’t they say STATFOX or COVERS or ATS Database says to take the Orioles because I can cap worth shi*t!
<o></o>
It’s time to expose the “CAP Cappers” who steal write up analysis from the real hard working handicappers who are out there grinding it out each day and losing money trying to keep everybody entertained and making money. Hell, let’s hope some of them are lucky and are making money. If you’re in the sports handicapping industry and you have a decent asset, protect it and don’t let these “CAP CAPPERS” steal your limelight.
