Why are most cappers afraid to post a win/loss record

[harrington]

Just curious?

 

[donkeybucks]

Beacause it's assumed they hit over 60%.

They are not like us Harry; these young guns never lose!

I hear you brother. Hey I've been at this along time and anyone that says they don't lose isn't fooling anyone. I would love to hit 58-60% consistently as I would be a very rich man.

I am 0-16 on the season, but got a 600 unit play on Florida St. under.

Seriously, GameDay is at this game?????

 

[brendan_ryan]

When they go on a cold snap it is not as obvious without a W/L record.

Gameday must be celebrating the Obama win. Will he be making a special appearance to outline his platform for a college football playoff?

 

[Jumpman23]

Or they don't have the "time" to keep one, so they say. :think2:

Never play totals and even I'm having a hard time not playing this one :missingte

 

[Low Rollin' 'Noles Fan]

I don't post one because I'm an addicted action better. Usually have 50 plays every Saturday. Not worth the time to type that all out so people can I see how mediocre I am.

Plausible Explanation

Probably because they have losing records? :think2:


:smoker2:

 

[whalewager]

I think the majority of them dont even think to keep a record...

Most gamblers couldnt tell you what they won or lost last year...not even close for some

 

[DJ6593]

The cappers that I respect and gain insight from do indeed post their records.

 

[Conan]

Many of them don't post their records so they can freely point the finger at whoever they want without fear of catching any shit for their lousy picks.

So they can hide.

 

[Jstack34]

Because everyone loves a mystery...

:smoker2:

Exactly. Don't you think they would post their record if they were winning?

 

[RedElephants]

Well, I try to for one....but the minute I get into a bad streak and I begin staring at the W/L record that is caving in on me....it gets to my head. I respect the ones that do and can do it without it getting to them. I guess its one of those things where if you can't play and deal with the W's and L's......maybe you shouldn't be playing at all.

Other people have no real life where people respect them and they post their W's only here to try to get someone to pat them on the back, something they rarely get in the real world. They want to mean something to somebody. In that case you either love their ego or feel sorry for them.

Finally, there are others who get into a bad streak and fear that some honest soul is tailing them and taking their money along with theirs. I know I've fallen into that category.....hoping that no one is cussing me under their breath.

Obviously was a joke, but that is a play that is hard to resist! :drink:

Keep killin' it VOR!

 

[ThEjAcK]

If its a losing record then their credability isnt worth much.

I'm on a all time worst 3-13 slump in college football and I like South Carolina @ +21.5 for today. Take that. alwatts

If I did people might start to figure out that my style of capping involves matingale and coin-flipping
