    trends have got to be the biggest fluke in the world. the only trends that ever work are the ones that are perfect, and i mean perfect.

    why do we even bother posting them on this site?

    If Tiger Woods wins 10 matches in a row all at different locations and is now playing his 11th match against "anyone" would you not bet on him to win the 11th match? That is a trend......trends do help and do indicate what has statistically happened in past.Numbers don't lie........

    Ha.... You racist hate monger you............
    Good to have see around here you evil capitalist haha.......



    igotthegoods...........
    You sound like somebody who just got burnt going against their beliefs following a certain trend if that is one of your principles of discipline to capping
    I don't see this thread in helping anyone's BR's
    That is your opinion and just like a**wholes - everybody has one
    To just throw that statement out there is lame yet entertaining to see 

    So here's my opinion
    To everyone here........
    Trends help show the strength of that trend alone that all no matter what the sport may be.
    They help provide a certain angle into a selecting a play
    Uhhh...... They do help in picking winning plays
    Not every play though
    Yes...... We lose too - following trends
    They are not guaranteed and for somebody to think that is obviously smoking some good stuff

    We are betting on certainty in an uncertain world


    A wise bettor doesn't just blindly rely on them but utilizes them as a weapon in their arsenal of capping
    Yes youngbucks will always fall hard in their ways but at the end of the day trends are useful
    Its how we apply them into our own styles of selecting plays

    Don't confuse a "trend" with a "System" they are two completely different tools...

    We use trends to compose systems.  Two very different things.  Without trends, you have no systems.
