CBB POD Recap
The idea of doing came from Kodak7, he suggested it in the College Football Forum before he was banned for a few weeks. I just picked up on the idea and started one for CBB. It was much easier to determine who to follow and who to fade as we only had 1 pick per week and more people posted for the entire season. With respect to CBB the good fade cappers would drop out so we were left with a few good cappers and many 50/50 people like me.
As you can all see it is very difficult to just pick one game as your pick of the day. I followed 2 services free pick for almost one year, college and pro, including baseball and they only hit 40% right and I faded them every day. It is much easier to win money by fading a person than following them. (my opinion, and has made me much more money)
I hope that no one take’s any offence to any of recaps that I post, and remember that they only reflect what was posted here. Also note that many of the cappers records would be better than what they show here (would have won more money) because I used the closing line rather than the line that they posted. I would always piss me off to hear some professional tout saying that he won a game by 6, claiming he got 5 ½ when the line at the time he posted was 7 or higher. And I wanted the members of the group to take advantage of all the picks if they followed the capper as well. But with that in mind here’s the results.
We had over 120 cappers from the RX Forum post the POD thread, with 1720 picks, 896 wins and 824 losses for a 52% win record.
Win dollars were based on $110 dollar bet per game>
YTD Win Dollars – The three cappers that you would have won the most money on following were:
Tigerclicks $1310
Wonderdog $1290
Jimmymo $1100 (Tied for the College Football POD 1st Place)
But if you look at the individual picks of these 3 people Wonderdog stands out as the Top Capper in the POD. He had many great quality picks.
Last 40+ Day Win Dollars
Tigerclicks $1300
Co-Captain $1080
Tigerclicks started picking about 40 games before the end of the season and stayed consistent thoughout the period and gets the bracket win.
Winning dollars during playoff’s - The last couple of days the RX Forum as down most of the time so many people could not post, and we only had a couple very late yesterday after the best games had already started so I didn’t count it. But the two top were
Jimmymo $500
Demon919 $390
Best Come Back
Co-Captain - The captain started out at 33% as was one of my best cappers to fade, but closed out the season at 67%, and 53% for the season and was very solid at the end.
Now here’s were we made the most money. Best fades. Had you bet against these cappers you would have won the most money.
YTD
Kodiak7 $1170
Last 40 days Best Fades
Fivedorsdown $970
Buffalobill $660
Best Fade in Playoff
Sweeptheboard $440
Espnted $330
Well that's it guys, the stats are posted in the Handicapping zone for those that want to keep a copy for their records. I do not plan to do the CBB next year, but I will do the College Football. Good luck to all of you during MM. I looking forward to meeting a couple of our cappers that will be here this week.
