Choosing a Sports Handicapper

[jjayoliver82]

Greetings,


I’m new to handicapping and was interested in hiring the services of a capper on a year long subscription as an investment. I have been following the 2016 leaderboards and was excited by the units won and ROI from the leading cappers. I was all ready to subscribe to the current leader (Teddy Davis), then I discovered that last years overall winner (Rocky Sheridan) wasn’t on the leaderboard and I can only assume is in the negative for units. I guess what I am asking is:


- How likely is it that a handicapper on the current leaderboard could have finish in the red (or finish say with no more than 200-300 units)?
- What is an average/good amount of units for a year?
- Is there somewhere I can find overall and individual leaderboards for the last 5 years. I was thinking this would allow me to select a handicapper that has consistently finished well and in profits (I have looked, but can’t seem to find it anywhere, only for 2016. Does anyone have them on record perhaps?)
- Is it even possible to choose a handicapper that consistently posts a profit?


Any help greatly appreciated

Welcome JJ,
I think all of your questions depend on how many units they are betting. If someone has a 100 unit play then no tellin how much they could lose. A unit should really be one play's worth. A lot of cappers go with novelty amounts of units for play of the day/mo/yr etc.

I dont think there is a documented handicapper up over 5 years. Someone can correct me. Not that there aren't winners but most of them are spending their time betting.

Mike Brenner is here at SBR and does a show daily on SBRvideo.com. He's tearing it up right now. He and Peter Loshak interview the cappers on your leaderboard list and get their picks and insight.

Right Angle Sports but you are correct that they are few and far between as far as long term winners.

Look for a service that has full transparency. Long term winning services are hard to find but there are a few services that do win long term.

I use sportsbettorswin service and they have been profitable.
