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.
Agree with you 100% Saints 
.. and thats how we make money.

Well... I tailed for a little while at the beginning of the MLB Spring Training Season, but had to stop. Found out that I am actually pretty damn good at picking my own Spring Training games, so I'm sticking with that. I actually moved up in the ranks to number 8 overall currently, so I felt that tailing someone else was pointless.

I agree tailing one guy is a bad idea, but if you use a consensus concept, it can be very profitable. I ran a Forum Consensus thread on college FB this year and it ended up 33-10 (77%). Each week I used the picks from 10 - 12 respected cappers in the forum, and a game was considered a consensus play if at least 4 guys were on it with nobody on the other side. The trick is finding the right guys to include. I watched the threads for about 4 weeks before I started doing it and I verified the records of each capper I included. But of course this concept is much easier to do with football because they only play once a week....

I agree mostly w/ SAINTS the big problem is tracking you find a good picker or handicapper & start betting 'em w/ whatever system or progression you are using & then BAM you are out minus units waiting for his or her next pick " & they don't show up" or maybe wait until the last minute to make their pick or picks, & it's to late for a guy to bet em THAT's a big problem
Figure out something w/ the consensus picks & come up w/ a good system..... is the way to go
