Can you overhandicap?
I feel like lately i have been over handicapping games and it's been hurting me. I feel as though I am having an information overload instead of just picking winners.


Does anyone else think can happen or has happened to them?

I think I am the opposite.

Yanks, I definitely think you can over-cap. I know I've done it so much. I usually just take a break, when I think I've been doing that.

Yes u can. Remember every bet u place has pros and cons, there is no bet without cons, if u analysed to death every bet u would never place one lol. Bottom line stick to the capping methods that u have found best to work for you. If it ain't broke don't fix it. If something isn't woking back off and refine.

yankee. earlier in the year I was totally doing that. I have a very close friend of mine that is a local in Florida. his plain advice to me was to stop trying to play my own games (or to many games) and just fade majority, the public and horrible cappers.

Since he told me that I have been up big! I still look, still debate to myself, but leave it in the hands of the capper gods on who I will take. The only sports I do all my own researching is college hoops, but I suck in football and just recently in this forum was -20 units and now +12 I believe

I think the problem is that alot of us want to pick OUR OWN WINNERS, and think we can win, but more times than not its not going to happen.

just my 2 cents

I used to do a lot better before the Internet. Now I think there is too much information available which makes it more difficult to cap games.
