Kneifl,
Thanks for posting this I like your idea and am curious about others as well especially since this can be a very lonely job or hobby if you don't have someone else to share it with. Hopefully I can meet some new friends here and maybe head out to vegas for one of the madjack trips.
How long have you been cappin and what sports?
I've been betting on sports since I was 15 years old when I worked in a golf clubhouse and my older 22 year old boss would bet on playoff NFL games. Yes I lost my first wager and I was hooked hahaha. I've been capping for the past 5 years seriously, but if the NCAA is reading this then seriously for the last 3 years (college athlete).
My sports are baseball, basketball, tennis, golf, soccer and occasionally football. I'm not a big fan of football and I guess my attention falls elsewhere in the fall and winter. My speciality is the NBA, I am a true enthusiast of the game and watch and/or Tivo every game that is offered on my satellite dish, I just love it. And I have been successful capping them as well.
How many years have been winning years of those?
Since I started betting I would say that I have had 3 winning season but since I started capping and taking this seriously I have been a winner in 4 of my last 5 years and a winner in all of my last 5 years in the NBA.
How long have you been capping and been a member of Madjacksports?
I was a long time lurker and for the most part still am, it's weird cause you read peoples post over the years and you think they are friends but if I posted something to them they wouldn't know me. I first came across the site in 99, and followed through the Nolan Dalla cappin era in football and a few site revamps.
Do you have a method that works best?
Yes and no. First instincts are a lot to me especially in the NBA but I think a lot of that has to do with all the games I do watch and the research that I do. I can truly say I have an unbiased opinion of the game and sometimes I will catch myself rooting against my wagers just because I love the game or the way a team is playing it on a given night.
In golf I can truly say I have a learned a lot about capping from the guys in the forum especially Stanley, he made me a winner and gave me an interest in the game that I love to play.
But my best method is money management and I would say this because I do not touch the money that I have invested in sports I let my bankroll grow and it helps me stay humble. And I never bet over my head, well almost never, I did hae a large wager on a b-ball game this year (W). But I have learned a lot since I was a young punk betting with no reason but to have the action
What was your best year and your worst year?
My best year was the 04-05 NBA season my worst season was the 01-02 NFL regular season and playoffs. I don't know why but I just wanted to bet everything in football and i didnt know much about the sport and I genuinely don't like watching it. So from that point on no NFL, lost a lot of loot but gained a lot of real life negative wagering experience that I have learned from.
Wow typed a lot forgive me. Hope to hear from you all soon
