Exclamation Top 5 Posters you look for

This thread I think was done but I am looking for serious answers, instead of having to look thru each thread to find more people to look for, since most of the best ones don't even keep a record.


Could be for following or just like them. I think I only blindly followed 1 poster here, dollarbills, did it a couple times, obv he won. But I do look to see what a couple guys are on. actually I've tailed these guys blindly at least once.

dollarbills (solid in everything, big plays are $$$)
belmont kid (really look for his 25*+ plays)
gerk (very solid, not flashy, but I have to know what he's on)
upinya (known ups along time, prob trust his opinion the most at cappersmall)
domafia (this guy really quietly wins alot, I think I'm the only one who notices)

It really just depends on how I'm doing....if I'm running well then I'll avoid letting other people's plays creep into my decision making. If I'm struggling, I might put together a couple small plays that I don't feel like looking into......for the most part though, all of my plays are my choice. If I am going to risk the $, I am going to be responsible for winning or losing.

feel the same way nightcap, if im running bad I will start to look for help. I don't have a problem doing that. I track about 15-20 people on 3 forums. I don't nec. follow them, but I value what they are saying. On the flip side, I look at another 4-5 good fades, a 40% capper is just as good as a 60% capper

good list, disagree with GG, but to each their own. honestly it's just too hard to read what Rome says because of that douche double space thing he does, he will just do it too in the middle of a sentence. makes no sense, have to go back and read it 2-3 times to understand so I just stopped bothering to read him. used to always look for his posts but I've just been skipping them lately

1. dont know what the would have to do with looking at his plays, he only does that when hes ranting

2. ive actually been doing the double space thing a little as well, not as much as him but its not horrible to look at or read, i think if anything makes it easier

also, never said i tailed goldengreek and no clue if he has winning overall record... but i believe he even says himself don't play small plays just play the bigger ones... and i know he does well on his bigger ones cause we always seem to line up on them and im having a good past year or two.

its just nice when i have a huge wager in and i see he has a 10-20* on them.. i honestly think he does well on these in long run

Dollarbills- IMO the best on the site
Belmont Kid looking for his bigger plays
GG- I like looking at his plays because I get any idea of what bookies want it, I personally like to follow his 20* plays
I like to see what Keith is usually on espeically in baseball he puts his work in and has some very nice stats

depends on the sport really.

aleana nfl, dollarbills most sports, goterps nba, nobody for college hoops or baseball, Willie the Whip for hockey

but when people are talking about their favorite team like RJB about the chargers for example i usually tune in because they know whats going on and can share good insight

i also think its a popularity contest and the larger your unit size ( sorry, had to do it ) the more attention you are likely to get

i agree that some of the quieter guys do very well!

I don't usually tail, but my confidence grows if I know a certain few are on some of the same plays.

dollarbills is the best capper on here in my opinion, sure I'm not the only one who thinks that.

goldengreek is solid, but he plays too many games for me.

I look for Gerk and Yankee23 also.

i dont tail often but i def check out a few people...

The Judge for CFB, mostly Big 12 plays
Dollarbills for CBB
Dr Jack...when he post, i listen. Rarely post plays and is sharp when he does.

Thats really it for me....maybe the occasional GOY from a few posters i respect if i agree with the play.
