I don't think anyone gives two shits who the best is. People wait for a good capper to have a bad run, so they can shit on them. Period.
IMO, there are about a dozen guys in this site who actually bring something to the table. (Major U.S. sports....I don't go into the other threads, so there is a good chance there are some good cappers in there.) A vast majority of the "cappers" in here, just want to post a rag-tag play, shout how it's a lock, and shout all over the board if it wins. They couldn't care less about information, or its worth in actual handicapping. They just want people to tell them how great they are. To me, they clutter up a good site.
The rest? Guys who just want to hang out, read and reply, or the guys who wish to disrupt.
No handicapper here is consistant enough to "follow". I will respect some guys opinions, and maybe stay off a bet based on their take, but that is rare. The fact remains......even the best come back to .500 sooner or later. More often than not, once you see a guy as a "hot capper", the flame flickers, and fades. What's left after that?
"You suck! I can't believe you have the balls to post your plays!"
It's a vicious game, boys.
