Ok guys, I just joined the site. I do my own capping and I am very hesitant when it comes down to paying for picks. The main reason being the fact that most of these guys have to sell something every day and sometimes come out with plays they don't really like that much just because they have to put something out there.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
That being said, a lot of the guys in this business have actual talent in one or more sports and if they didn't prostitute themselves every day they would be pretty good or at least decent.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Some cappers don't release plays every day, and some only release one play a day, and then there are the ones that have like 5 plays daily. Somewhere among them there must be at least a couple worth following or at least a couple worth using to compare your own capping of the games. I am determined to find them.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
A few threads have been started to grade their picks but it is a long process and people are not always willing to help. So here is what I'm going to do:<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
The only thing I need you to do is to P.M. me the picks of any capper you want included in the list. Browsing through the Service Plays forum just takes too long because people just talk to much shit there. So that would be the only collaboration I would need from you. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
If you have a proven capper and tell people how great someone is, they call you a shill. If you are looking for quality cappers to follow and read someone saying so and so is really good, then you think they are probably a shill. I will grade what you send me honestly and every day. I spend between 3 and 5 hours doing my own capping anyway so a few more won't hurt, and who knows, maybe I find a few cappers worth following and make some money too.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Here is what I will do with the picks I get:<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
1) I will grade all them.
<o:p></o:p>
2) I will post a daily update on this thread with all the records including units won/loss, % won, GOY, GOM, etc, record for the last 10 and last 20 picks. I will grade different sports separatedely since some of these guys are really good at some sports but suck at others. Yet they refuse to stop selling shit even when their "good" sport is over. The list will be in alphabetical order and will have the good cappers and the bad cappers in different colors so that we can fade or follow as these guys go in streaks just like us.
<o:p></o:p>
3) I will be droppping cappers from the list after 100 picks. Anyone hitting less than 40% in their next 100 picks will be deleted. These gives them a chance to rebound from losing streaks and as the list gets smaller I will be more strict with who stays on the list.
<o:p></o:p>
4) The goal is to come down with a few cappers that are solid in the long run. Short term luck is always a factor but anyone making it to the end is worth it.
<o:p></o:p>
5) This will be a long process, but it will be worth it.
<o:p></o:p>
6) This experiment will go as far as you guys take it. I will only grade picks that I get P.M.ed
<o:p></o:p>
7) Anyone willing to P.M. me someone's plays on a daily basis let me know so that I can make a list and other people can send me somebody else's picks.
<o:p></o:p>
8) I will make a list of the cappers that will be sent everyday and whoever is sending them so that anybody can help out with a different capper. Remember that even if you think someone sucks, it is still useful to send their picks so that everyone can see they really suck. Same thing with good cappers, everyone will see they really are good, I'm sure we will find some surprises along the way.
<o:p></o:p>
9) Last thing is a huge favor. In the interest of this thread being short, sweet, and to the point. Please P.M. me any questions, comments, etc. The last thing we want is this thread getting longer than it needs to be.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Thanks a lot, good luck.<o:p></o:p>

good idea, but many have come before you. seems like it never lasts more than a few days. if you get on here and look at the plays every day you'll get a pretty good feel for who to follow, who to fade, and who just isn't worth doing neither....
