Sponsor of the Rx Service Thread: Cappers File - The Largest Online Database For Rating Handicappers

The Largest Online Database for Researching and Rating Handicappers

Cappersfile is a common grounds for categorizing and identifying the truthful/good handicappers from the dishonest/bad handicappers. Over 2000 Cappersfiles can be found on our website all graded with an A through F rating, with the list continuously growing. The internet is a great tool for obtaining information; unfortunately, information can be posted and sold even if it is neither truthful nor accurate – Capperfile wants this to change!

Three Search Methods:
Cappersfile includes three methods for identifying which handicapper will best suit your needs.

Recommended Cappers: Cappersfile.comhas identified handicappers that have a minimum of “A” or “B” Cappersfile rating, and has personally experienced excellent customer service including expedited communications with these handicappers.

Browse function: allows for you to narrow your selection of handicappers by picking which options you prefer your handicapper to contain. You can narrow results by grade, free picks, guarantees, etc.

Search function: is available to see the grade given by Cappersfile, if a handicapper or handicapping website is already in mind.




Handicapper Grading:
Grades for each Cappersfile are derived from an established criteria set including: 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] party monitoring for record validity, guarantee offerings, domain longevity, active posting of results and archiving picks history.

Grades are given to handicappers on a scale of A, B, C, D and F.
A and B level cappers meet most, if not all, milestones that Cappersfile has identified to be considered a trustworthy handicapper.

C level cappers are not considered to be untrustworthy because they so contain some of the milestones that Cappersfile identifies as a trustworthy handicapper.

D and F level handicappers do not present their information as anticipated by Cappersfile.

Handicappers cannot buy their grade from Cappersfile, they must earn it!

Team Betting Notes

-- Another week, another loss for Ottawa (2-14). However, they are still a respectable 4-2-1 ATS over the past seven. A better trend involving the RedBlacks is the 'under', which is 3-0 in the past three, and 8-2 over the past 10.

-- BC Lions (9-7) is trying to rescue its season in the final months. They have won back-to-back games, and travel to Edmonton (11-5) next weekend. The Lions and Esks haven't met since June 28 in Week 1, when Edmonton won 27-20 in BC.

CFL Betting Notes - Week 19
By David Schwab

With just two weeks remaining in the CFL regular season, four of the six spots for this year’s Grey Cup Playoffs have been claimed and they all belong to teams in the West Division.

Montreal helped its cause to lock-up a spot in the East Division with last Friday’s 23-17 victory against Ottawa in a game that ended as a PUSH with the Alouettes favored by six points on the road. The total stayed UNDER the closing 43-point line. Friday’s other game ended with Calgary rolling over Saskatchewan 40-27 as a 10 ½-point home favorite to notch its 14th straight-up win of the year. The total in that contest went OVER the 48-point closing line.

This past Saturday’s CFL double-header started with Toronto securing a 26-24 victory against Hamilton in that huge East Division clash. The Argonauts could not cover the three points at home and the total stayed just UNDER the 51 ½-point line. Week 18 closed things out with British Columbia earning a playoff berth with a 28-23 victory over Winnipeg as a 4 ½-point road favorite. The total this time around went OVER the closing 45 ½-point line.

Friday, Oct. 31

Hamilton (7-9 SU, 7-9 ATS at Ottawa (2-14 SU, 6-9-1 ATS)

Point-spread: Hamilton -7 ½
Total: 44 ½

Game Overview

Hamilton is faced with a must-win situation this Friday night to stay in the hunt for a playoff spot in the East. It comes into this game 5-2 SU in its last seven games with a 4-3 record ATS. Last week against Toronto, Tiger-Cats quarterback Zach Collaros threw for 335 yards and three touchdowns in the losing cause, but the offense managed to gain just 12 yards on the ground.

The RedBlacks know that the end is finally in sight for their long and painful inaugural season in the CFL. While they only have two SU wins on the year, you have to give credit to Ottawa for remaining competitive down the stretch to post a 4-2-1 record ATS in their last seven games. Veteran quarterback Henry Burris is ranked fourth in the CFL this season in passing yards with 3.412.

Betting Trends

Hamilton won both of the previous meetings this season SU, but the series is split 1-1 ATS after the RedBlacks covered as 12-point road underdogs in a 16-6 loss on Oct. 17. The total has also been split 1-1.

CFL Week 19 Betting Preview and Trends
By Mike Pickett

First place in the East division standings will be on the line this Sunday afternoon as the Montreal Alouettes play host to the Toronto Argonauts to cap off the four-game slate that makes up Week 19 of the Canadian Football League season.

Find all of this week's CFL betting lines plus updated Grey Cup futures at Bovada.

Hamilton at Ottawa

Last 10 Meetings: Ottawa 0-2 SU, 1-1 ATS | OU 1-1

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats are still in the mix for top spot in the East as well as they head to Ottawa looking for their third straight win against the RedBlacks on Friday night. The Tiger-Cats have gone 2-0 SU against the expansion RedBlacks so far this season, although they failed to cover the spread in a 16-6 home win as a 12-point favorite in their last meeting. That game was an easy UNDER result.

Winnipeg at Calgary

Last 10 Meetings: Calgary 10-0 SU, 4-3-3 ATS | OU 6-4

The Calgary Stampeders, who have locked up first place in the West, have won 10 games in a row SU against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers as those teams meet on Saturday afternoon. The Stampeders topped the Blue Bombers 33-23 in their first meeting of the season back on October 18, but only managed to PUSH the 10-point spread on the road in that contest. The OVER is 3-1 in their last four matchups.

BC at Edmonton

Last 10 Meetings: Edmonton 2-8 SU, 3-7 ATS | OU 5-4-1

Playoff-bound teams will meet in Edmonton on Saturday night as the Eskimos get a visit from the B.C. Lions. The Lions fell 27-20 to the Eskimos in their first meeting of the season back on June 28 as an 8-point home favorite in an UNDER result. Prior to that game the Lions had been on runs of 5-0 SU and 4-0 ATS against the Eskimos dating back to 2012, with the OVER going 3-2 in their last five matchups.

Toronto at Montreal

Last 10 Meetings: Montreal 5-5 SU, 5-5 ATS | OU 1-9

The Alouettes hold a one-game lead on both the Argonauts and the Tiger-Cats in the East standings as they prepare to host Toronto to wrap up the week on the CFL betting lines on Sunday afternoon. Montreal is 1-1 both SU and ATS in its two games against Toronto so far this season, both UNDER results. In fact, the OVER has only paid out once in the past 10 games between the Argonauts and the Alouettes.

# 8 IRA CHIEF 9/2


# 3 PQ THREE 8/1


# 4 ROLL ON 10/1


Feel pretty confident putting some green stuff down on IRA CHIEF. The group knows that speed is King in harness racing. This fine animal will unlock our way to a nice score. With one of the most respectable drivers in terms of crossing the wire first, don't count this gelding out of the race. PQ THREE - Don't let a fine animal with such a clear-cut winning pct like this be forgotten. Great driver Pierce should find the pace of today's competition to this gelding's liking - could be a good wager. ROLL ON - Seems to have a formidable class advantage based on the competition he has raced against.

# 6 LIGHTNING STRIKE 2/1


# 5 IDEAL CARVER 6/1


# 3 VODKA IS TERROR 3/1


After thorough analysis by the brain trust, LIGHTNING STRIKE comes out as the top pick. Comes into this race with formidable TrackMaster class markings relative to the field - take a good look. Could be considered in here if only for the respectable speed rating recorded in the most recent contest. Very good driver-handler, winning 38 percent of the time. Should be supported as a excellent bet. IDEAL CARVER - Could surprise us at a fair price. Don't leave out. VODKA IS TERROR - Might be there at a fairly reasonable price tag. Surely one to keep in your exotics. With Brennan in the bike, watch out for this nice horse to get the triumph.

# 12 GITANO BOY 5/1


# 9 TRIPLE DEUCE 12/1


# 5 HOT LATI 9/2

I've got to go with GITANO BOY. Batista has very solid numbers that point to this gelding to be a strong contender. Must be given a chance as he drops to compete against this less demanding field of horses. This pony has some longshot angles going for him. TRIPLE DEUCE - Overall, this handler has been profitable at this distance/surface. HOT LATI - Look for a much better attempt with the drop.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES

The Walker Group Picks

# 3 LUCK OF THE KITTEN 8/1


# 13 LAWN RANGER 20/1


# 6 CONQUEST TYPHOON 12/1


LUCK OF THE KITTEN is the top bet in this race especially at a such a nice price. With better than average trips to the winner's circle, Smith will probably have this colt in excellent position to win the contest. This colt obviously likes the distance, going 2 / 3 in his races lately. This colt has posted some nice finishing positions in his last couple of efforts. LAWN RANGER - Has been close at the wire most every time lately. I would back this colt on the jock and trainer numbers alone. CONQUEST TYPHOON - Respectable pick to take this race going in a turf route. I would think about this colt on the jock and trainer numbers alone.

#7 E BISCUIT (ML=9/2)
#2 SAM'S SONIC (ML=2/1)
#10 HELLO ABRAXON (ML=12/1)
#5 WALLY DID IT (ML=3/1)


E BISCUIT - You'll be making money right and left by turning your racing money onto this jock/handler combination. This horse could be tough this time, especially since Acosta rode last time around the track and now should be acquainted with this one. Have to give this gelding a good shot. Ran a strong race last out within the last thirty days. SAM'S SONIC - Comparing how the horses in this field have fared under similar conditions, I see this thoroughbred has the highest speed fig for the dist-surf. The jockey/conditioner tandem of Carrasco and Smith has a strong ROI together. 86-90-101 are last 3 speed figs. Improving each time out is something he should do again right here. This thoroughbred may have too much power on the turf for the rest of the field. In the stretch, he could put these away. HELLO ABRAXON - This speedy sort should profit from today's shorter distance. WALLY DID IT - Came home in quick time last out. A positive sign.

Vulnerable Contenders: #11 WONDERFUL UNION (ML=8/5), #4 WHATABOUTHONOR (ML=6/1), #9 BIG FEAT (ML=6/1),

WONDERFUL UNION - The morning-line choice is suspect here with the lack of drills. WHATABOUTHONOR - Nice race on October 11th at Laurel Park, but the fact that there are no workouts since has to make one a little worried. This horse doesn't have a winning nature. Habitually finishes in the place or show spot. Don't think this entrant will make an impact in today's race. That last fig was somewhat easily forgotten when compared with today's class figure. BIG FEAT - Pace makes the race. Tough for this early speedster to be able to manage the suicidal fractions from the rest of this field.

#4 WILDWOODSGREATEST (ML=4/1)
#2 UTMOST INTENSITY (ML=10/1)
#12 PURE LUXURY (ML=8/1)


WILDWOODSGREATEST - The return on investment when 'Bridge' and Becker partner up is terrific. Coming off a fourth place finish at Hawthorne, some may pass this horse. I'm not. He just missed hitting the show spot, and has decent odds today. This horse collects a lot of dough per race. I believe he can add to that bankroll in this event. UTMOST INTENSITY - Finished out of the money last out at Keeneland, but was within five lengths of the winner. Opening at 10/1 makes me think he's got a chance. Was in a $16,000 Claiming race at Keeneland last time around the track. That race had a class rating of 97 and he is moving down right here. A certain win candidate. Horse has improved at least 2 Equibase speed fig points in last 2 races. I look for that trend to continue right here. In the last race, finished fifth on a muddy track at Keeneland. Have to give a better effort right here. PURE LUXURY - It looks like Albarado had to 'know' this colt on September 19th when riding him for the first time. Back aloft again today.

Vulnerable Contenders: #8 MYSTERIOUS CIRCLE (ML=7/2), #11 SWISS CONFEDERATE (ML=4/1), #6 SENDARIO (ML=5/1),

MYSTERIOUS CIRCLE - Will be tough for this animal to beat this field off of that last speed rating. Not likely to improve enough to run a figure anywhere near today's class figure, so put him on the questionable contenders list. SWISS CONFEDERATE - Not normally the kind of equine one plays off of any type of long vacation. No picnic to bet on any runner in a sprint contest if he hasn't hit the board in a sprint in the last two months. Finished seventh in his most recent race with a quite unimpressive speed rating. When I look at today's Equibase class figure, it would take an improved performance to win after that in this field. SENDARIO - Hard to play this animal out of the Sep 26th race. Only faced maidens in that one. This gelding raced well on September 26th winding up first, but hasn't even visited the track since then. Not really a good sign.
