I'll ask someone I know for ROOT, but I am not sure how reliable he is right now, so (to me) it's not worth the money. CBB doesn't seem like his sport. I usually trust Oskeim and Kyle Hunter. But Oskeim has lost the same titled play "Conference Tourney POY" two nights in a row. I know it happens but it's unlike him to name picks like that, especially back to back. I know its all marketing, but he is usually a tad different. Big Al and Root are the master marketers. However, since I haven't contributed in a while, I will take requests on anyone...Just respond and I'll get it. Let's have a good day!
Yesterday I was accused of being a tout for Caleb Hartley, who I don't even know. I follow Big AL affiliate cappers and he was just the most consistent. I will post as soon as those are out, he did go 3-0 on GOY yesterday so today could be a fade, still will post. I am also willing to buy whatever you guys want while I am waiting. I don't want to buy something that is already going to be posted. It seems like someone has DeMarco but hasn't posted. Big Al as well. I am not going ROOT or Executive so let me know how I can contribute.
For that matter, I haven't heard of the vast majority of cappers whose picks are posted here, and I just skip by them when they are posted.
In my perfect world, no picks would be posted for any capper until they had gone through some auditioning test for a least
a month or two where their picks were submitted and monitored and graded but not posted to see if they could hit just 50% of their
picks over that time frame.
If they did, they could be posted, but if they did not, they would not be posted but could have the opportunity to try again two or three
months later.
If they failed again to meet the fifty percent test, that would be it, and they would not be allowed to be posted.
In short,I say if they can try to shorten the time of baseball games with the new rules, why not shorten the list of cappers
whose picks are posted in the name of efficiency and not cluttering up the thread!!
Sorry for the ot post, but it is early in the day and I wanted to get it off my chest!!
But again I was ripped yesterday for posting Caleb Hartley's documented results. Over a 3 year period. I was called out for touting. I have no reason to tout him. I just thought it would be a welcomed addition, especially during March Madness. Good to get it off your chest. Now back to plays....
Have things changed of late?
I have always thought for the most part that Root's picks are simp[ly fades of the public's picks and that in many cases that is the only
"analysis" that is needed although he obviously wouldn't admit that.
I am not going to debate it but imo Root is too involved in politics these days to concern himself with the work needed to actually
analyze sporting events such as the one posted today!!

No clue my friend. I have seen his picks for years but some of the writeups don't sound like him even if the picks are from him. He is definitely not fading the public these days. His picks are square. Always good to have an opinion and I agree. It's the only reason I am buying and trying some of the newer blood. If someone like Big Al or Root or Schule or anyone in that area agrees to let a newcomber on the scene, then they have done something right. Kyle Hunter is solid. Oskeim has been solid. But while they may have their own websites its always under an affiliate (BigAl, SportsCapping). Forgive me again for bringing up Caleb Hartley, but unlike the others his pricing is completely different. It's confusing to the point I don't want to buy. $30 for a pick. $99.99 for a month on his site ? Sorry. This isn't the place to talk about that, I am just confused....It's too late today to buy the 5-Pick from PickAdvisor but I think I will grab another month and get the other 4. Anyone else I should buy except Root and Executive?
Ok. Nothing is available for Caleb Hartley (f u to all those who think I am touting) on Pick Advisor, so I am assuming his first game started. However, if you to his company website, you can get it for 1/4 the rate. $74.99 All-Access through Final Four. VERY WEIRD. I am going to buy the NBA FINALS ALl-ACCESS when my plane touches down. It's all sports until June (whatever) and cheap. I'll put the skepticism beside. I'll post as soon as I land.....if available...
