It already has put his customers in a losing position. He is now down 290 units YTD and that has pretty much happened in just one week (was having a winning season prior to the start of the 100 unit plays on Wednesday). The comment....."Why would you follow his exact units if you do not have the bankroll for it?" is ridiculous. Of course, anyone following him would make adjustments based on their bankroll. So, if your top play was $100, then you play $1 per unit with him. But the thought that you would follow a capper you believed in and not bet accordingly based on his recommendations is ludicrous. That's why good handicappers have sound money management strategies. If you're not going to follow unit recommendations, then you shouldn't be following a handicapper.

I agree with you once again.
The whole point of using a capper is that you want someone who can win for you consistently and who can tell you how to scale your bets.
That is how it is supposed to be, but in this case you have a capper who is more interested in trying to keep his customers at any costs and thus is thinking only of himself.
To just arbitrarily raise the ratings only because he is behind is a dead pan giveaway that over time this capper will not win and should be a signal to anyone following what his real motives are here and/or that at the very least he has no money management.
In some ways this kind of money management is worse and more dangerous than those whose come up with zillion star locks because those types of ratings are obvious to anyone with half a brain.
In this case though when the ratings are in numbers which are more credible, to some what he is doing in his Martingale type system may not be quite as obvious.
And the unfortunate thing is, he is also doubling down on just about every one of his games now. So he ups his units to 100+ (instead of the 6-10 unit rating) and then on most games he advises to bet the ML and the R/L (effectively going 200 per game). Unbelievable. He's killing his customers. The Texas double lost on Sunday night with a prohibitive -195 ML and then a -105 R/L was just another example.
Ultimately if things go the way they usually do, this will end up as just another fly-by-night service which is here today and gone tomorrow.
I am amazed how some folks get so excited because some new no-name service wins for a few days or so and then proclaims them as the Second Coming as the Messiah of Sports Services.
Perhaps it is because you and I are older and been around the block a few times, that we can spot and see things quickly about some of thes services that some of the younger and less experienced folks cannot.

I think one of the reasons some folks like to use a service is that it takes the heat off themselves if the plays lose and shifts the responsbility from themselves to the service to get the money and perhaps to get into the black.
I also think that using a service encourages folks to bet more on games than they would on their own and in a sense gives them a false sense of security in that the service which they use will ultimately get them into the black.
Some of the services such as the one which is the topic of this conversation use above thinking to their advantage knowing that a lot of their clients won't object to betting large unit if ultimately they can show a profit.
Of course, sometimes things don't work out in fairy tale like fashion and clients get pounded when services like this one throw caution to the wind and just fire away with increasing Monopoly Money unit plays.
if nothing else, the bottom line though is that sports services exist simply because some folks believe they are profitable and will send them money.
