I wanted to pass on this response to a blog I posted to Vegas Runner. If all of us "rookies" can stick to this advice I'm sure we will win more than we will lose. Hope it helps some of you....

Thanks Randy and I appreciate your confidence in my work...your honesty is what is going to allow you to become much more successful in this market than you would imagine...because too many times I see bettors who aren't honest with themselves and are never able to stop making the same mistakes that becomes their downfall...
You can very easily make betting on sports a part time job/investment for yourself...the key I believe is having a plan of action and making sure you execute at all times...you need to be realistic in your expectations based on your initial bankroll because that is where so many lack discipline...and you need to continue doing the right thing over and over and eventually your business will grow...
As far as following the "hot" guy...that is one of the most difficult things to do because it's hard enough to capp games, let alone capp the capper...and more times than not, you will jump on or off at the wrong time...the best way to avoid that is to recognize Winning Information and making it one of your sources...meaning, if you are going to follow a capper,. you should concentrate more on finding and following those who have a proven, winning track record...
And I am not talking about someone who is 20-10 the L/3 weeks...instead, I am talking about someone who has shown that their info has produced profits...because otherwise, there will be no consistancy...too many bettors look for that advertisement which grabs their attention and seems to be a big play for the capper...which I feel is foolish because everyday that you look, someone will definately have a GOY for sale...
That really is a huge mistake made by so many bettors seeking information...they don't have the patience to let a winner, win for them...they want to jump around to who is claiming to be hot, rather than who is a proven winner...and if they would just stop and really think about what they are doing, they would realize that its a sure way to lose money...because following information from someone who is a proven long-term loser, just because he has a big play makes absolutely no sense...but we get all caught up in the moment...
Thanks again for your support and for your confidence and I look forward to working this market with you fot a long time to come, VR...

Records usually show a stretch of luck... ie. you've gone 4-0 when a team got into freethrows at the end (the ball could have easily bounced the other way), a last minute shot (lapse of defense), and/or a 2 run error etc, not usually a "good call". Picks can get contagious, on one forum someone takes Team A, then others initially look that way, on another it can be Team B.
