agree would be problematic to make separations by units based on which book they use

UPDATE to end of Saturday July 6:
TOP MLB forum cappers of note
MLB is a tough slog for most. You're skills are doing fine if you can generate a positive unit record!
My handycapping skills teeter on the weak side so I try to watch the winning and/or popular handicappers to learn how they succeed and maybe pick up some tips to improve my game.
I do not tail these people, but I frequently check their picks to see if maybe I should re-examine my own when they oppose.
Below are the results of the top records I was able to verify, plus a few notable popular members I was suggested to verify.
-- I analyzed their posted picks from the perspective of a lurker who would bet only ONE UNIT on each of their picks that were posted before gametime.
-- Multi-unit designations are disregarded, since how much money one claims to bet is irrelevent to his ability to pick more winners than losers.
-- Also LIVE action bets and pushes are not counted.
-- 100 picks minimum needed to qualify in TOP HANDICAPPER category.
This is neither intended to praise anyone nor embarrass anyone. If you read it that way then YOU are reading it wrong.
I don't have the time nor inclination to score forum records for everybody, so no more requests, thank you.
Unfortunately the limits of Covers.com search function (or profile posts, or Google) makes it exceedingly daunting to backtrack and verify records of some popular handicappers, especially their April picks/threads.
