    I'm worried about this pick.

    It seems too easy. Usually those are the lines which sucker you in and, BAM, you get your ass handed to you.

    well VB... for one thing, no one game should ever hand your ass to you as long as you practice good management...
     
    i think Minnesota is a gimme... but if it loses, i will not lose anymore than i lose on any of the other 9 games i have money on...
     
    besides... if you get 7 or 8 cappers from this thread on Minnesota, and none on Syracuse, that should be all the backing you need to feel good putting money on it...
     
    finally... and you really should take this into consideration... the best cappers in the world do not ever get scared off of a game because it is "too easy"... it is you vs. Vegas... you either think you can outcap Vegas or you don't... and if you don't, you are already losing the battle...
     
    Vegas is not perfect... they post lines on 30-40 CFB games in a given weekend... don't assume that they have every angle locked down... and don't forget, they are only trying to get close to 50/50 action...
     
    mark my words on this:  if Minnesota covers this game, Vegas will not bat an eyelash... they don't lose their asses on a game like this... they can live with it... you're the one who should be losing sleep if you know it's easy, don't bet it, and see a 44-21 final running across the screen...

    Well put Ice
     
    If everyone was on Minny the line would of moved to at least 7 or more
     
    Vegas job is to try to set a line where bettors go 50/50
     
    I love the top cappers concept

    Ice.. Thanks for the slap to the face.

    Sometimes I just psyched myself out of a pick.

    i let that happen to me a few times last year, and it pissed me off... was usually from listening to too many people say something is a trap, or looks too easy...

    decided this year i am not gonna listen to any of that crap, and just live with my picks... i'll lose some, but the second-guessing can really screw you out of some money... at least it can for me... i'm trusting my capping and sticking with my picks...

    hopefully this is one that "looks too easy" and really is too easy...

    I may play more than my standard wager on a game, but this will normally happen only when a series of events have occurred.  First, I will have to be ahead of schedule.  That means not only will I have to be ahead in the game, but ahead of where I wanted to be.   Next, I will have had to cash in (even though the actual tickets are not cashed until the end of the season) on some prop wagers, especially if it is fading a team and their total wins.  I will also consider playing a bigger amount if Ihave hit a middle or two.  Other than that, I stick to the same amount.  If it is worth wagering on, bet it.  If not, pass on it.  The game is hard enough to beat.  No use complicating the formula any more than it already is.

    Obviously if you do not change the amount of your wagers the 60 % is going to make you a huge profit. Not talking that!!

    Its the clown that hits the 80 % with the failed money management...... Not a very experienced capper is he.

    I  see your point though

    I hope that people post reasons behind their choices, and not just a selection.  This is the best way to learn and profit from their successes, or your mistakes
     
    I'm in accord on that issue with Big Daddy Oh, aka Bob Dunbar of the old SCORE.  Tho not for the kind of snarky reason Daddy Dunbar offers.
     
    It is a contest between bettors, with the bookie as middeleman, stakes-holder. But it's not like a chess match between GrandMasters, head-on, where the reasons for the move should remain the prooperty of the chess player.
     
    There are literally thousands of free picks posted on line, or in newspapers and magazines.  They don't really affect the odds much, if at all. To think that Best Bets here are going to have any effect on lines is to believe that Willie Obrien gives halftime pep talks to college teams.

    luck... i don't think we can ask Manifesto to post the other cappers' reasons... and i know most of them will just be posting on their threads, and not on here...
     
    Festo just takes the picks from wherever they are posted and forms a consensus...
     
    i personally always post write-ups for my top plays on my own thread, and most others usually do the same... so your best bet is to find those threads in the forums or blogs and check out the reasoning on your own... they shouldn't be hard to find, for the most part...
