and if you can hit 55%+ over 500-1000 bets.. then you could think about quitting your day job if you have the bankroll to bet big enough to support yourself

Half the good cappers on here are 50% or better. In the end a smart capper is going to go with their own instinct. But IMO this site has alot of GREAT cappers to look at get a good consensus. Somewhat off subject but just thought youd like to know!

heck, I may even be underestimating the sample size you would need.

variance can be a fickle beeotch in the world of sports betting

One more note.  I can personally gaurantee that Covers has 6 or 7 posters that put in 10 times the research over most of the so called professional cappers. 

I just checked a site that I trust because I know the owner.  The records for the 24 professional handicappers listed there for the last 365 days has only 1 at 58% and 15 of them below 50%.

Also the 24 cappers that sale from that site, if you follow the business at all.  You will recognize at least 20 of the names.

Enough of this I am moving on to winners.....

@ Rich
I agree.. you won't "find" professional handicappers..

most don't sell their picks.. they don't need to

some don't even place their own bets..  they send "beards" to the vegas windows to do it for them

there also betting syndicates out there... not sure exactly what or how they operate though

Percentage-wise and breakdown in naming basic types of betting, those percentages are right about it, right there.

Anybody here can be called a "Professional Cappers" as long as you are a "Professional Gamblers".
You can capped by yourself and just post it here in this forum.
Let your win/loss be the records and that's it!

LOL back in the mid 90's I lived in Staunton but had to place my bets at a small country store outside of Richmond because everyone had cut me off.  Unfortunatly that hot run for 2 years turned in to an equally cold run for me.

good luck

wish I could find a local ..

Idk though.. betting with a local bookie seems too risky to me if making large wagers.  I'd be afraid they would skip town or something.

not that betting isn't risky no matter the venue

There are no professional cappers in here. Just self proclaimed professional cappers.

@9baller9 Thanks appreciate that!

Lots of good feedback here

@5t4r5align Yea I mainly only bet NBA and WNBA and I dabble in football here and there, but im hoping to be able to roll everything from NBA season right into WNBA and right back into NBA. It'd be nice to "quit my day job" but I'm a ways from getting my bankroll high enough lol. I actually this season JUST started keeping a bank roll specifically for sports betting since a casino near my house has an online account. I don't bet what most would consider "a lot" but I now have 10 times the amount I started with a month into the NBA season.

I have been tracking the "experts" on college and nba for the last month. LOSERS. Also college and nba consensus. Losers. Free plays... Losers

For example on 11/24 out of all free picks 1-4(all sports)

On 11/25 out of all free picks(0-6-1) all sports

on 11/28 out of all free picks (1-3)

cant wait for today to pick all against!!!

Lesson that i ve learned so far in this site. Dont follow experts or consensus. or free picks. And NEVER pay money to any of those fools. You can do just as bad as them by yourself or good

A GOOD-Capper should at least hit 61-74% of the wager.  Or if he really really really GREAT then that percentage should be ofcourse 75-89%.  Anything above 90-100% is a Saint of Wager's
