Without sounding like a snob i usually do my own capping rather than following others , BUT, as a year round player i go through capper burn-out 3 or 4 times a year and during those times i look for others to follow. ... i'm also selective in some sports and dont have enough action so i will look for others to follow then also. .... When looking for someone to follow i'm looking for 3 things :
(1) A ytd record including money/units won/lost. : I always feel kind of blind and naked if someone doesn't post a record ... and it's so easy to do that i get that red light of curiosity if a poster doesn't.
(2) A write-up or reason for the pick : This isnt as important to me as a record b/c there are always guys who are on fire (like bourn and lexington brass currently are) and if one of those red hot guys post a pick , i'm not asking why , i'm asking how much ..lol. ....BUT write-ups are important to help others make their own decisions and helpful for passing info along.
(3) A posters personality. : This is not as important as the first 2 b/c i can deal with an assclown if they are making money , but generaly speaking i HATE braggarts , blowhards , attention whores , and tout wannabe's and theres really no reason for that nonsense. .... i look for class posters who dont promote themselves and let their winning do their talking.
So besides the obvious answer of "winners" what do you look for when following other members ?
