The Handicapper Scams Rule Book<\/h4>\n

The Sports Betting Industry isn’t exactly founded on honesty and integrity. That’s probably why it isn’t legal in the Bible belt. So we shouldn’t be surprised when we see people strutting around Twitter doing whatever they can to get your hard earned money. They are the fisherman, you are the fish, and their scam is the bait. They will dangle that bait in front of a school of fish hoping for a bite. It only takes one fish to make it worth their work.<\/p>\n

One thing I can’t stand is scam. Let’s talk about How to Spot some popular Handicapper Scams. Many handicapper Scams can be identified and \u00a0filtered out with a little common sense. However, sometimes desperation and hope can cloud our common sense. So I’ve compiled a simple list of objective evidence that will help you avoid the Handicapper Scams.<\/p>\n

Fake Followers<\/h4>\n

Sometimes a capper \u00a0will buy followers to make themselves appear more prestigious than they really are. \u00a0It sounds silly but people treat their follow count almost like currency. \u00a0A simple audit at TwitterAudit.com<\/a> will give you a snapshot of their follow count. \u00a0Everyone will have fake followers but not everyone will have 40 thousand of them.<\/p>\n

Fake Twitter Accounts<\/h4>\n

This is a little different than fake followers but way harder to identify. The fake Twitter accounts are accounts used by the capper to praise and defend himself. \u00a0Does the capper get a lot of praise every time he wins but nothing when he loses? I’m sure his outspoken followers are only outspoken when he wins. \u00a0Does that sarcastic comment not seem suspicious? Search through their twitter feed and replies. \u00a0Do you see some common accounts? \u00a0Click on some of them. \u00a0Are all of their tweets used just to blow the tout in question? \u00a0Remember, the majority of members on Twitter praise their cappers privately. \u00a0Hell, they’ve already given him their money, why their dignity also?<\/p>\n

Fake Lines<\/h4>\n

This is one of the more popular handicapper scams and is one speaks for itself, so I don’t need to expound too much. Do you see Cappers bragging about a win when everyone else lost with the same side? \u00a0Over the long run, these points really add up. \u00a0Either their line is fake or they don’t post their juice. Maybe they had the line…. at an irresponsible -150 juice. \u00a0Regardless, I bet their record will be better than yours if you tail their plays.<\/p>\n

Fake Records<\/h4>\n

No one and I mean NO ONE hits at a 61% clip long term. \u00a0If they do, they don’t. \u00a0Simple as that. \u00a0 Ask for documentation. \u00a0The easiest thing for a capper to do is doctor his record. \u00a0Even some of the 3rd party trackers allow their favorite cappers to post plays after results are in. Have you seen a deleted tweet? There is a 103% chance that wasn’t his first deleted tweet.<\/p>\n

Fake Records? No Records!!!<\/h4>\n

What winning capper wouldn’t want to document how they can win? \u00a0Many on Twitter sell their hot streaks. \u00a0I suppose that’s fine if you are only looking to buy for a short term. \u00a0But if a capper can’t show you his records (If they’re even honest) then just move on to the next capper.<\/p>\n

Where There Is Smoke, There Is Fire<\/h4>\n

In the capping world, sometimes we are only as honest as our reputation. \u00a0If there is a large group of people who claim he fakes his record or rips people off, he probably does. \u00a0He will most likely just accuse people of being “Haters”. \u00a0Why? Better question is, Why would an honest, transparent, and upstanding capper have so many haters? Sometimes the greatest defense is a good offense. \u00a0Does he rebuttal his haters with fat jokes in return? \u00a0Does he spout insults at people who accuse him of dishonesty instead of logically and calmly explaining the situation? \u00a0It’s just a character issue. \u00a0Be weary.<\/p>\n

One Final Note<\/h4>\n

Remember, as much as this evidence is used in tout scams, it isn’t \u00a0restricted to touts only. \u00a0This won’t be popular, but it will be true: When you put the word “Free” in front of a capper, it doesn’t make them good or \u00a0honest. \u00a0Many free cappers have an end game of being not so free. \u00a0One way to speed that up is to have a fake record, fake accounts, fake followers, etc. \u00a0Also, being free doesn’t mean free anymore. \u00a0Some people want money in return and some want attention and Twitter fame. \u00a0They may delete losses. When they’re winning they will brag about transparency. \u00a0If they’re losing they can ditch the transparency part in the name of #FreeNation. \u00a0An honest Capper is an honest capper, whether he is free or paid. \u00a0A dishonest capper is dishonest, whether he is free or paid. \u00a0Be weary of the free and paid cappers with the characteristics listed above.<\/p>\n
