I've tried it at times. NO, you don't make money. it's about 50-50 at best. You'd think you would make money. Normally the top guy ALWAYS has 12 or 13 wins. At the point you start tailing them they usually never get on an extended streak. Then the next guy in line has 12...and he's usually out by before he hits 14.

On another note....I never make any money tailing ANYONE on covers or any other forum. Some people just "seem" to be an all knowing "God." Some of the writeups are well written but I've learned a long time ago that a "good writeup" doesn't mean shit.
Just bet your OWN picks....OR follow some hot participant that's in a DOCUMENTED contest.
There is no easy money in this game. Everyone gets on hot streaks and cold streaks...and if you get too cocky the gambling gods will strike you down.

Follow a top capper in a contest. Take the NCAAB daily double for instance. Top capper currently hitting almost 60%. Run two lines using a money management system like the Labourchere system, and you'll see profits.
Key is to follow top cappers in contests that offer small selections like one to three per day.
Crazy as it may sound, I'm currently running three lines in the MLB Triple Play contest. Even though it's only Spring Training the top two cappers are currently around 70%.

When I have nearly made my mind up about my bets I use the concensus page on NBA and NHL and focus mainly on what the top 10% of bettors are going. If they are also going my pick then I pretty much go it. Is very profitable, average win percentage 66-80%. Dont worry about huge public concensus percentages

Heres a quick tip:
After you've nearly decided on your banker bets go to the main concensus page for NBA or NHL. Click on Top 10% only and see if they are going the same, this eliminates many losers. Finally check to see what the #1 bettors on each team are going. Games where both the #1 bettors are choosing opposite outcomes are to be avoided unless youre feeling clutch.

Tailing won't make you money long term. How do you actually know the capper you're tailing isn't tailing someone else who's tailing someone else? The tailing could go on for several layers, keep that in mind. 
Now you're on a play that many people/levels are tailing and have found yourself on the wrong side based on one person's opinion that has spread like wildfire.
Now you're on a play that many people/levels are tailing and have found yourself on the wrong side based on one person's opinion that has spread like wildfire. When you put all the time in figuring out a process of who and when to tail, from which contest, w8n on plays throughout the day, and for how much, you could've already developed a process to cap games yourself.
That's the only way to make money is to build your skill by capping your own games or find a profitable system or 2 and ride them until they shift. Once they shift, you adjust them to make them work best for you based on your level of risk.
