Who is the best baseball handicapper?

Who is the best totals expert out there? Or do most of these guys to totals as well?

1) yeap, learned this myself the hard way..... if you selectively try to "ride the hot capper", you will lose.....

2) when you are tailing posters on the forums, they always post at random times.  unless you are a degenerate that is refreshing the forum pages constantly, you will miss out on picks by a poster you are tailing.

3) NEVER tail someone who does not post a running record and total unit profit.  plenty of clowns come onto this site, win 5 or 6 in a row and all of a sudden they are posting "stars".... then reality hits, they lose 6 in a row and they are gone...

If I can help people along the way, I am even happier. I appreciate the good words from people here. There are some great handicappers in these forums and I would love it if dozens outperformed me so I could learn from them and improve by bottom line. Last year was a bad year and dozens outperformed me. Luckily for me, the previous three years were all very profitable, even after the tailspin in the second half of 2009, where I gave pack 75% of the profits I earned before the All-Star break and I managed to walk away still with a sizable profit. I personally know a lot about baseball but that does not mean I will win but why bash someone who provides information and has a proven track record over a span of 4 years? I am by no means the best handicapper but I do have a lot of information and insight and if you don't like me, then don't read my threads. It's simple. In college basketball, I will read a guy like NRopp's thread over anyone's here whether he's winning or losing because he provides insight and analysis, which I can use and interpret anyway I want or just put it in my memory for future use and I will never understand the people who bashed him because he went through a bit of a cold streak at one point. We're here to help each other.

GameHunter:  your post on baseball handicapping is classic! ..... you had an off year last season, but that does not mean the principles in your handicapping post are invalidated.  It simply means that your own personal filters that you used to apply those principles were off last season.  Don't let the retards who don't understand the difference deter you.   Good luck this year!

I though they were separate, but in the baseball contest, if you look at pre-season records, (example, 30-20, +5000 units), covers includes pre-season as 2010-2011 record so far. I know regular season is separate contest, but do they reset the 2010-11 personal player tallies, or all baseball (pre/post/reg) is included.

Reason I ask is that you can find a few consistent winners past 2/3 years there, but if they had monster pre-seasons/post seasons, and they are included in stats for 2010, it can be misleading; then you'd have to disect how they fared each category. 

who cares......

Gamehunter has always posted a very accurate unit total for the season.  The main point is, don't listen to anyone who is not an established, respected poster.  Like i said, there will be plenty of newbies that come on, hit 8 or 9 in a row, then all of a sudden they are "stars", when in reality they just hit a lucky streak.  see this happen all the time

..... and i actually don't tail GH.  he plays too many games for my liking... as previously mentioned, if you are tailing someone, its an all or none proposition, otherwise you are setting yourself up for failure

because, if someone has a great year, usually they tank big time the next. Or vica-versa. Just look up history for, lets say the top 50 from last years contest ( any sport) and look at them the year b4. 9 times out of 10 you see something like +50k ats, year before -38k ats, or something to that effect. Which solidifies the really remarkable point how hard it is to consistently win from year to year.
