How many members do you blindly tail with their plays?

I will protect the identities of the people that vote and make this a private poll

Do you march to your own beat or tail others?

Same here Ups, I put 0 cause i only wager on my own games regularly. But when some certain posters who I really think are quality have some plays they really like, Ill tail. But that may make up 1 of every 10 plays. Specifically Dave's rating plays made a me some nice cash my 1st few years, but he doesnt play as many games as he used to. Also fade BE

I certainly look to see what certain posters I respect are on

especially a night with a main event, like MNF

but no blind tails, although I may have a game off my radar that someone turns me onto

then after looking I play it...I consider that tailing but not blindly

Thanks, but I play MORE games than I used to. Alot of my US sport is bet on gametime or in running, so makes it awkward to post.
