How about start a spread sheet and track all the guys that you re interested in. It takes a good half an hour every day for me, but I think it will pay off in the long run. Research is the name of the game, and lazy researchers will lose their shirt in this biz.

i have done that but it seems overhelming sometimes

Not a Kelso fan from way way back. But when I see his plays posted (college) I only look at the top one, the 200* & 100* because it doesn't matter if he wins all his games and loses the 200 it's a bad day. I look to see what a few other "respected " cappers have and see if they are on Kelso' big game. If they are with him I play it and if they are opposite I stay off it. You have to admit that top play has done well on SATURDAY.

[h=2]Larry Ness' 10* LEGEND Play-CBB (1st TY in CBB!)[/h]
My 10* LEGEND Play is on Cincinnati at 10:30 ET.
Cincinnati won its first four games by an average of 34.5 points while scoring 91.5 PPG, though those opponents weren't expected to present much of challenge. This marks Mick Cronin’s seventh season as Cincy’s head coach and last year, he led the Bearcats to the school’s first Sweet 16 appearance since 2001. Cronin knew his team would be playing much stiffer competition in Las Vegas this weekend and Iowa St (entered 4-0) gave the Bearcats all they wanted last night. Iowa State was even with the Bearcats at halftime and stayed close throughout the final 20 minutes, before Cincy won 78-70. Gone from LY’s team are the 6-9 Gates (12.2-8.9) plus guard Dixon (13.0) but in swingman Kilpatrick, the Bearcats have one of the Big East’s top perimeter players. He had 32 points last night and leads the team scoring (22.0 PPG) while grabbing 6.4 RPG. Joining him in the starting backcourt are PG Wright (16.4-3.4 APG) and fellow guard Parker (9.4-4.6). The 6-10 Mbodj (5.50-5.0) and the 6-8 Jackson (4.8-7.6) start up front but Cincy has solid depth with the 6-7 Rubles (7.4-5.6) and the 7-1 Nyarsuk (6.6-4.8) contributing up front and Davis (5.5) in the backcourt. The Bearcats expected to meet No. 18 UNLV (the host team) in tonight’s final but the Rebels (an 11-point favorite), lost 83-79 to Oregon. Dana Altman is in his third season in Eugene and no one questions this guy’s coaching ability. Amazingly, the Ducks (now 5-0 just like Cincy) pulled off the upset despite hitting only 3 of 19 (15.8 percent) from three-point range. Oregon’s starting-five consists of guards Dotson (12.4-4.6), Artis (10.2) and Loyd (2.6), joined by the 6-6 Singler (11.6-4.4) and the 6-11 Woods (11.0-3.2). As the season progresses, expect more and more from the 6-7 Kazemi (4.7-7.7), who transferred from Rice where in three seasons, he averaged between 10.3 and 15.2 PPG plus between 9.1 and 11.0 RPG. I have no problem with the Ducks or Altman but after upsetting No. 18 UNLV, taking down Cincy a night later is too much to ask. The Bearcats are averaging 88.8 PPG while allowing 59.6 plus rank THIRD in the nation in defensive FG percentage (32.3). The Bearcats passed their first real test of the season last night with flying colors as they shut down Iowa State and held the Cyclones to 37.3 percent shooting after they had come in making 49.6 percent of their field goal attempts. The Bearcats didn’t shoot particularly well but converted 23-of-25 attempts at the free-throw line, scored 26 points off turnovers, and netted 18 fast-break points.Oregon used a full-court press to rattle the young Rebel backcourt in the first half to take a lead. The Ducks then overcame some foul difficulties to pull off the upset in a game which featured 16 lead changes and five ties in the second half. That kind of effort takes more than a little out of a team. Oregon pays the price here, as the Bearcats roll!Good luck...Larry

Good luck guys!

I could show you mine, but it wouldn't make any sense to you, as I keep my own codes. It's really not that hard, you ve just got to be willing to put the time to track all the guys every day.

I am currently tracking Kelso, Joe Nelson, Platinum Plays, Intpicks, Northcoast, Maddux and Lee Earnest. The only one in the black is Platinum Plays... All the others have lost so far.

My point is touts that give out big favorites as top plays, arent handicappers. They are just salesman. It really doesnt take a genius to give out big favs. Any person should be more then capable of looking at the lines and playing a big fav and then hoping they cover.
If you want to defend the touts, thats your choice but they are all snake oil salesman. If any of them could pick winners, they wouldnt be bothered selling games and would just be laying on the beach winning money. I would rather pick my own game and lose then pay somebody to do it for me.

honest question without trying to be a douche, but if you dont believe in these guys and you pick your own picks, why are you here?

To look at the touts picks and make sure they arent landing on my picks. If i see a real crappy tout on one of my plays, i tend to back off my play.
Basically what i was trying to say in that post was, nobody really needs to pay some tout money for him to give you a 25 point favorite to play. come on anybody can just pick that themselves. They are a 25 point favorite for a reason. Its a lot tougher to cap a 1-7 pointspread game then an over 20 pointspread.

Hope that makes sense to you

I may be missing your point but it sounds like the heavy favs generally do well/cover ?

I shouldn't admit this but I played Ala- 33 and Baylor over 80....both picks from ISR.I don't enjoy doing my due diligence so I rely on certain cappers for their picks and I sort out the ones that work for me.I'm not a serious bettor but enjoy small action at this stage in my life.My point is that relying on "professional" cappers does meet my needs.

i agree that the touts, if they knew everything, would just gamble their own money on their own games, but thats why they call it gambling. they dont always win, so they need your money.

if you played kelso's plays from day 1 this year and followed his money management system, you are up on the year.
