Home Forums The Asylum Shoot The Breeze Your favorite handicapper?

I'd like to know what everyone's favorite handicapper is and why. I don't know much about any of them and kind of just go by my gut. It would be great to get some insight from fellow members. Thanks everyone! I do hope people join this thread so we can share tips. Happy holidays!

None of them and you should use them as a guide only. Do your own handicapping and you'll do just fine.

Yeah, I learned the hard way by being a religious follower and ended up negative. Now, I try to go with my guts more. I'm not too technical so I wouldn't have any idea at what to look at or compare to make a scientific guess. I know for sure, we win some and we lose some. :)

I used to like Oskeim before. But he's just okay. Definitely stay the hell away from anybody at Docs. They're fucking terrible.

Agree with Freak, do your own handicapping and you be fine. You'll definitely be better than 90% of these clowns.

There are a few to watch for:

Tom Stryker
Marc Lawrence
Ben Burns
Northcoast
Youngstown Connection
Goodfella
Matt Fargo

All of those are regularly posted outside of Youngstown which did really well but haven't seen them posted much this year. All of these except Youngstown are tracked for all GOM, GOY type plays when I see them posted and can identify them as the bigger plays. A lot of times picks are posted and there's no designation from the poster.

Anyone involved with Doc's Sports or Demarco's Crew is either 50/50 at best or well below 50%. In the end though, you can use them as a guide and can follow the cappers in this topic area: Experts Handicappers <--- Click Here

Hope this helps some but like I said, if you do the work you can handicap just as well as 95% of the cappers that get posted.

Thanks, Freak, for sharing your insight! Really appreciate everything you do. I'm not a big timer but using your forum as a guide has helped. Happy holidays and thank for responding. I can understand why there's guidelines to posting now. It's a shame to have such a big group of folks in here and nobody has commented on my post except for you.

Thanks for your input! Really appreciate you taking the time to respond. I'll keep that tip in mind. Being on a budget so these tips are great helps. Haha

I tried responding to raiderguy but it doesn't seem to be working right. I must be doing something wrong?

Use "QUOTE" if I am thinking about what you are trying to do.

Back in the day, I use to pay attention to Steve Budin and Brandon Lang, but I don't see their plays too much nowadays, and if you do... it's a fade most of the time. Like all the other responders, you bet with your own money and you should pick your own plays.

Budin is super bad and Lang is streaky.......... I know people love to fade him, but it doesn't always work out well in the end.

Okay, I will do that. Thank you so much. Merry Christmas!

Most likely Kyle Hunter. Although lately I've had more luck with odds finder than poker. Probably soon the game will just bring me pleasure.

I really like Phil Steele on college info

Lang to fade was great....WAS. hes done really well in past 2 MLB seasons (this WAS his worst sport)
Im hoping his football continues to stink, but again he could be down 600-700 units youd only be up 150 units etc. fading because of the juice working both ways against you.

Take for example:
lang has 200 dime play, he wins, you lose -220 units
lang has 200 dime play, he loses (220) you only win 200 units.
Doesnt seem like much, but take it from a DECADE long Lang tracker; most newbies think oh, hes down1000 units that means I would be up 900 after 10% juice
It doesnt work that way.....you are ALWAYS losing unit count wise whether he wins or loses the 10%, whether its counting against you for losing, or counting just the win while he gets
10% tacked on for the loss.
He has to do really bad for you to make it worth your time to fade (not to mention paying for the plays if you dont join buy group/find here or other forums)
In the past, bowl season, MLB were the worst. Now hes wishy washy goes on long cold and hot streaks, but after the juicing out, not profitable fading lately.

i don't have a fav. But I have a few that I like to either fade or follow their free plays.

Anyone ever tried that ghost pick jimmy dude? He has a quite decent YT following. But I have never seen anyone mention him or post his plays on any forums.

He's wayyyy to expensive for me to even try him for 1 month. And I've never saw him offer a season package on anything.

It's always day, or 2 day, or a weekend package. But then in his vids he'll mention how 'regular' subscribers "....we had rough losing day early on...but those that were on the 'Last minute text service plays' got the late bailout win..." and i'm always listening to him like "huh? what?" He be blurring his services all together and fudging numbers.

From what I've saw over past 2 or 3 yrs of watching his vids and seeing how he lists plays with unit sizes, he markets himself just like Doc's.

I followed for about 10 months Ghost Picks Benny(some other capper from Ghost picks site) free picks on YT and monthly went in deeper and deeper minus. At the end I had to stop following. Ofcourse he had some positive runs, but on longer term I was more and more in red numbers. In about at 50% of videos he mentioning also results of premium plays and this was also up and downs. Ghost Picks Benny looks similar to Indian Cowboy, long videos, a lot of preaching, showing just shiny side of services and a lot of skipping loosing days(at premium and free plays).

So yea this guys from Ghost team marketing similar to DOCs. I'm checking now on Ghost site, there is no tracking records, so we can be pretty sure that this services long term going in minus.

If you go on any of cappers tab, for example Jimmy, you can scroll to New Client Promo and you can choose any of their capper for 10$ for work week.
"Jump on board with your favorite capper for the work week"

There is written also Guarantee Positive ROI.
In late autumn when NBA, NHL, CBB and football is in progress you could get a lot of action in 5 days, I assume work week they think from Monday to Friday action.

The best is to ask them, what you get for 10$ and if is really in guarantee.

Good luck.

Exactly. The Jimmy guy is like a broken record. Heck, he even says it over and over in his vids. lolz

But every single video is just the same promoting and hyping the other "cappers" and whatever other fluff he can spew to draw out the video. I know what he's doing. He's trying to make vids long enough so that more ads will run. Well, that's if YT allows him to monetize. Which I assume they do, or he wouldn't ramble on and on in every vid.

But it's the same thing over and over "Ok, sorry about the long video, lets get to the free play..." Every. Single. Video. The same, "I'm sorry for the long video..." and blah blah blah.

BobSportsBets Last year he did very good in Football.

Easy for me. Hitman

For NFL fezzik or hitman

Thanks everyone sharing your faves 😊

Vinciletti has some interesting trends to go by but other than that I only trust myself for picks.

Tom Stryker

Jack Jones , Kyle Hunter , Dave Price and Scott Rickenbach - I like them all

On the other side there are some god awful cappers at Doc's , DeMarco crew and WagerTalk

WagerTalk especially : Veno,Mejija,SkeeProfit,Nick Borman,Bianco - I dont know how its possible to run a company and promote such a terrible cappers
Their top plays records are so bad ( some account on twitter tracking it)
Only Andrew McInnis is decent from that site

Hey buddy, you seem to know a lot about WagerTalk. How's Steve Merril?

Lang fade back in the day when I got started. If I can get the same lines P G F these days

well... idk about favorite, but im a true believer in using all info possible to make an education guess, use to love old school champion, rocketman has his days as well

I've been following Teddy Covers for a while now and I have to say, his insights into sports betting are simply incredible. He has an uncanny ability to identify value in underdog teams and his analysis of games is always spot-on. If you're serious about making money in sports betting, I highly recommend following Teddy Covers.

executive is having a great ncaa hoops season, sad its over soon, but that's how it goes

Marc Lawrence, Jim Fiest and Nover can get hot.

Jazz Ray is my favorite latest capper to fade. He is awful been tracking past 2 months hasnt had a single winning week.
Ralph Michaels also was terrible going 102-52 FADING since Late January 2023 in CBB'
Surprised more dont talk about losing cappers to play opposite.

you'll find good cappers who do not charge anything, everyone has streaks, gl this year

I tried reaching out to you. I see you found this place. Welcome!

Yes Rummer definitely post here in addition to whereever else you post. Get Killykill over here too!

Rkyric told me about this one, nice to see some familiar names,

I reached out to you on Twitter a few months ago but it doesn’t look like you are on there much

Welcome Killykill. You may see some other familiar names in the 1218 thread below in this forum

i am rarely on twitter, but ty hope you have a solid year Wayne, and as always Killy nice to see you here my friend

kllly and rummer too .. heard gerk was here as well
cali

some know , some perhaps dont .i was secondbase over at CM

Has this list changed since last year? I'm a die hard Lawrence follower and a lang fader.

My list hasn't changed, they are the most consistent over a long period of time. I don't fade Lang, he has a winning record that has been tracked here for all the bigger type plays (GOM, GOY) so he's not an auto fade as others like to do.

Thank you everyone for your input!

Is Larry Ness still alive?

MLB is coming up...does anyone recommend a service to follow for the entire season? I subscribed to Sharpe from Docs last year and it was not good. The year prior was very good, which is always the case it seems (chasing a good season and doing poorly). I am going to look through TheSwami's handicappers, but they are very expensive.

Handicap yourself and use the Paid Professionals area as a guide. Best advice I can give you.

Anybody like Teddy Vintage?
