    I'm heading down to Vegas for 4 days May 24-28 and I will probably buy a package while I'm down there so I don't lose my shirt making MLB picks after 15 Bud Lights.

    Does anyone have a reliable capper that is verified that is having a winning season that I can follow for a bit to see how they're performing?

    Also if this capper does exist, I would be interested in splitting the package if somebody wanted to do that.

    The capper would need to be documented of course.

    After doing this for 46 plus years, am gonna give you some advice about paid cappers.  They all basically suck and dont let anybody bullshit you that there are good ones. Truth is the real bettors winning money arent running services selling picks, they are too busy making their bets, collecting their cash and enjoying life. Successful bettors dont need to sell picks and i will give you an example of 1 bettor that everybody knows. Billy Walters one of he most successful bettors ever, never sold a pick in his life and he could have made so many millions if he wanted to sell his picks but he never did. Think about thatan_light

    The scamdicappers that sell picks, do it because they need the money to feed their own degenerate gambling.  They dont pay their bills from money they made gambling, they pay their bills with the money people pay them for trying to predict the future.  Dont fall for it.

    Theres a bunch of good cappers here and you can find some decent ones on twitter, all free. They wont make you rich, but you probably wont go broke either.

    Now lets talk about the math behind this.  Its hard enough for all of us bettors to win and overcome the vig on our bets, now throw in paying for picks, that

    just makes you needing to win at a higher percentage. Not gonna happen. You might break even from a touts picks, but the tout will be the only winner and that will be because you gave him your money.

    I hope this helps and i wish you luck in vegasclover

    p.s. during football season, there are tons of contests that paid touts are in and the majority cant even hit 50 percent. Am not paying for anybody to try an predict the future for me. I have just a good a shot at winning by flipping a coin 50/50, then betting a touts picks.

    @cd329

     I appreciate your input, however there are VERIFIED winners that sell their picks. But the problem is there are way more scamdicappers. I'm just wondering if someone is currently using a paid service that is actually winning. Or, do you have a paid service that is terrible, that would work too.

    Your welcome. But your missing the math. when you pay for picks, you now have to overcome the vig on your bets, plus cover the cost of the bets. You will not make money paying for picks, wish you luck if you go down that hole. Also who are they verified by? Like i said, why didnt one of the best gamblers ever not see his picks

    Lastly and this is a fact the best gamblers in the world hit 53-57 percent long term, so even thou those people will win money, paying for the picks will eat you up

    Good luck thouclover

    @xar86413

     There are a couple of sites that document these for you.  You can search for them on the internet and they will list them for you.

    I am not sure how much of posting particular sites are allowed here because it may break some promotional-type rules.

    If you are wagering a decent amount it can be well worth it.  

    On these sites you can filter them out by sport, recent years, and recent month, etc.

    On these sites you do not have to worry so much about it being a scam because they are documented and verified.

    One of the myths is that these guys are just posting because they cannot win enough.  That is partly true sometimes.

    But the issue, especially when a handicapper is starting out, is not being able to get enough down to substantially realize their edge.

    If you are following proper money management and bankroll management by only playing 1-2% of your bankroll on each play -- then you absolutely cannot make a living when you start out.  So, even the really good handicappers that are profitable do this to build their bankroll.

    The issue is making sure that you get a verified and profitable handicapper.

    Another issue is to go back and look at their previous picks and decide what style you like.  Some will bet mainly sides, some totals, some a lot of plays, some fewer plays, some a complete mixture.

    If you are doing it for just a one time thing for fun and to make a little money then it is not as crucial to be picky.

    But a general rule of thumb is that for it to be worth it longterm you generally want to be wagering about what they charge for a month service on each of their plays.

    Say they charge $500 a month, you would want to be playing around $500 per play for that month, etc.  But if it is for fun and for a short time, then this is not so important.

    The way some of these guys promoting their plays help with this is by joining a 'syndicate' and pooling their money.  But even some of the ones that are part of syndicates sell their plays.

    The last thing I will point out is that most of the guys will have plays that are on a tier system, where some plays are played for a larger amount than others.

    The reason I say all of this is that the good handicappers have a bad name because there are some scammers for sure.  So, use a documented source to choose one.

    But for the overwhelming majority of folks that do not understand how to properly handicap, or do not have the time, or do not know how to properly evaluate for an edge, or just want to wager for fun to have action -- then these can actually be worth it, even if you only break even or even lose a bit.

    Some folks will be more knowledgeable in one sport -- say NFL -- but still want action in the offseason.  But these guys have a real job, family, and obligations and do not have time to fully handicap a sport that has games every single day.

    But either way -- Good luck to you and have fun! an_cheers

     There are a couple of sites that document these for you.  You can search for them on the internet and they will list them for you.

    I am not sure how much of posting particular sites are allowed here because it may break some promotional-type rules.

    If you are wagering a decent amount it can be well worth it.  

    On these sites you can filter them out by sport, recent years, and recent month, etc.

    On these sites you do not have to worry so much about it being a scam because they are documented and verified.

    One of the myths is that these guys are just posting because they cannot win enough.  That is partly true sometimes.

    But the issue, especially when a handicapper is starting out, is not being able to get enough down to substantially realize their edge.
