Forecasts of Cappers – Earn or Pay by Yourself?

Capper (in slang = informer in gambling) means a person guessing the outcomes of sports events for others (often paid).

There are many sites on the web that offer the services of the best forecasters, called professional cappers. So are they lucky? Are their ratings based on temporary luck and are the reviews real? If they are so clever, then why share tips (sometimes for free)? Do bets and be in the black, drinking not beer, and tequila on the Caribbean coast! Let’s try to understand these logical questions, arising when you are acquainted with the cappers.

Who is a capper and how to become one?

Cappers are guys who predict the outcome of sports events (football, etc.) Why do not they put themselves? There is an opinion that thinking without the psychological pressure of the Damocles sword of the amount of hard earned money, a person with a developed ability to analyze, can predict outcomes with greater chances of success than an inexperienced player experiencing for each dollar.

A professional capper does not think about money – his task is to give the best predictions, remaining in positive territory. Having proved his qualification (or by falsifying, creating visibility, writing reviews himself) for a long period of time, he begins selling tips ready to believe in his super abilities and does not want to think for himself.

How to become a caper? Practice secretly and begin to predict publicly, on profile or your site (blog), incl. and using a webcam, recording videos. If the forecasts are correct and simultaneously actively promote the resource, promote it in social networks, use the services of promotion specialists (seo), order reviews – customers will pay attention to you.

Risks are small: a) to be a loser and to be ridiculed by readers – is solved by virtual name change and the creation of a new site; b) the costs (time or money) of promoting the blog will not pay off – it is unlikely, because prices are high; c) be attracted by the competent authorities for non-payment of taxes or fraud.

Experienced cappers are always ready for option a) and that the business does not stop, at the same time make several sites to conduct them in parallel or immediately switch to a new one after an unsuccessful series of outcomes.

Forecasts of cappers: free or paid?

Let’s say you managed to achieve a positive balance in virtual predictions over a period. How to benefit? The real option of earning one is to sell forecasts, making them free of charge, at first, attracting people with reviews.

Not the best capers lay out online for free, doing this as a hobby or building a reputation to sell their advice in the future. Industry professionals are trying to make money on the traffic – readers who visit the site or blog. Some kind of income is possible if you have not only the skills of forecasting sports events, but also knowledge in the field of web design, monetization and SEO-promotion of the resource. This combination of talents is rare and will yield a solid income even without problems with predictions. The work of web designers and SEO specialists will be expensive and pay off with a large number of visitors. Not the fact that they will get lured.

Selling forecasts for money is a service that needs advertising and investments. Do not think that only one desire to predict the outcome of matches will bring a stable income – you need a solid investment of time, knowledge and finances to achieve results. Guarantees – no, the capper risks losing. Always!

Professional cappers – cheating is easier than making money honestly

It’s easier to earn money if the goal is not so much to help the players as to simply cut down the dough at any cost, including deception of trusting simpletons. In this case, you do not need to think about the possibility of forecasts – a successful story of the capper is invented, painted in Photoshop, supplementing the purchased laudatory comments and best reviews.

Creating a trap for suckers and shielding her from the righteous anger of money-stitched simpletons (commented on by those who praise), you can invest in its promotion with a decent chance of success. And if you arrange several (dozens?!) of the same type of “traps” + their ratings and reviews – row the money with a shovel. What do you think, which of the two earning options is easier and more effective? An honest sale of forecasts or a fraudulent divorce of simpletons for money? Of course, the second one – it prevails under the guise of professional capers. In the Internet – dozens, hundreds, thousands of scams.

The best cappers are those who are lucky for the time being

The maximum confidence in the average person is caused by cappers, who work not on personal sites, but on external resources (not allowing manipulation), in front of the readers. Some portals control reviews and have rating systems for forecasters’ effectiveness, but here is hidden the underwater stone of privateering…

In statistics, there is the notion of a “survival trend”, according to him and in forecasting there is always some individual who is very lucky. His results are not due to exceptional skills, knowledge, intuition, but a banal luck, which has the property of suddenly ending.

A good monster can even be a monkey if you plant it near two feeders with bananas and watch the choice. Imagine that it is not done between bananas, but between the outcomes of a tennis match of equal rivals with odds for winning each 2.0. In the experiment – 10 000 monkeys, “making bets” for five years.

According to the laws of statistics it will turn out that in 2 years there will be 2.5 thousand “capers-monkeys” with money, and in five years – about three hundred, proudly calling themselves the best forecasters. It is clear that in the bookmaker offices of the world there are no coefficients 2.0 for two equally probable outcomes with the presence of margin. Therefore, if the monkeys were put in the bookmaker’s office – in five years with money from them there would be only a couple of extra-lucky ones.

The best capers with positive results in the top of the ratings, just temporarily fall into the category of lucky people guessing “the right bananas”. But the trend of their activities is aimed at a loss, because for a long distance to keep the positive result of forecasts is problematic. Nothing subjective – the laws of statistics. Remember, they do not risk money!

Forecasts from cappers-publicities: knowing the sport is not enough

Many fans naively think that free advice from a famous person (lit up on TV with its magical power) is more valuable, and her brain is different from the average. Demand generates supply and cappers are being used by well-known sportsmen, commentators, journalists – people who are considered experts in the world of sports, so-called “talking heads”. For a small money they are ready to do anything.

Betting is more important than composure, the ability to follow an established strategy, than understanding the sport, no matter how wild it sounds. The game on betting is compared to trading on the stock exchange – the laws of statistics and the market operate. A story from life. One of the best traders, who made a fortune in the timber trade, throughout the career was sure that “green firewood” is a green tree, although in fact so is called freshly chopped wood, i.e. he was a perfect layman in woodworking, but that did not stop him from becoming a millionaire!

Another player on the stock exchange made a name on speculation with Swiss francs, although he could not find on the map the country whose currency he traded. These examples are a vivid confirmation that knowledge of the principles of trade does not require an understanding of the goods. So in bets – the understanding of sports does not guarantee success in bets. But the ability to strictly follow the mathematical strategy gives good chances even to a person far from the status of a football expert.

The best football players are often represented as complete profane in predictions – the story keeps Pele’s comedic predictions before the world championships. Who was singled out as a favorite by the King of football – on the prospects of that team put a cross. Memorable also is the statement by the famous defender Alan Hansen about “MU” Alex Ferguson at the moment when the Scot staked on the young Giggs, Scholes, Butte, Beckham and the Neville brothers that “nothing can be won with the children.” One of the most authoritative experts in the world of English football is still remembering this “forecast”, as Fergie won with the named “children” all that he could.

A lot of players lost at the stakes: Eydur Gudyonsen, Matthew Etherington, Michael Chopra – went bankrupt, losing everything in bookmakers, although the same Icelander played at the level of the Champions League. Football knowledge and even the vision of the game from the inside does not help in betting => all the advice of experts from the world of football should be divided into two and at least refers to them critically.

Cappers are people who realized that even professional sports knowledge does not become a guarantee of a successful game in the bookmaker’s office, who do not want to risk their money while checking their own theories and theses. To advise on what to put to others is a non-binding, profitable occupation, where a well-thought privateer does not risk anything at all.

Conclusions on cappers

Betting is a chance to check personal strategies, to beat another connoisseur in the field of sports with your mind and intuition, to become an expert, confirmed by numerous winnings in the bookmaker office. To go by stranger’s paths by the hand with a capper – obviously a losing variant. Refusing their own thoughts, the player gets into the forest with a variety of traps from the best hunter-professionals and pass them will not succeed. Think for yourself!
