My wife had a baby last tuesday, so I have not had the time to cap my own games the past week. I have been following all of his plays but play 1* = $50. So gl to all of us tonite that tail this card. I played all of them! Lets get it
There are 5 basic strategies you could follow and each will make sense I think.
1) Bet all of them, but adjust the amount you bet to reach the total outlay you want. So maybe his 50* is $25 to you, or even $10. Bet them all but bet them on a scale that works for you.
2) Bet just the higher * picks. Use the threshold you can afford or want. When a play is rated 50* it obviously in his view has a much better chance of hitting.
3) Straight bet all his plays for an amount that works well for you.
4) Pick either totals or sides and play just those, based upon his past results or your view of what you like to bet on.
5) Use his picks as a starting point and look to other cappers to see who agrees with certain picks and go only with those. A very popular capping style with many good cappers. This helps prevent the blind follower syndrome where if he loses the follower kicks himself wondering why he didn't do his own research.
For a follower I recommend 1,2 or 3. 4 is a filter you could also apply to 1 2 and 3. Many people don't like totals.
I follow the 50* but obviously i adjust it to my BR.....
25* and ups i usually follow... and he has been incredible.... I am not on all the totals i just jumped on the nebraska Under...
i wont always take his plays either... if i dont like something myself i wont bet it... simple as that... i dont throw my money in blind.
