Ok, I'll give my information and insight in this thread, even though I'm not nearly experienced as guys like BAR, BDK, Bill, Philly, and MANY others...
I've learned a lot along the ways from these guys, and believe I know how they cap...I think this has made me a good capper since I started (and the results show it, I'm 8-3 since I actually started spending a lot of time sitting down and capping the games).
This is what I look at in order of importance.
1.) How have the team(s) played in their last 5 games? And how did the match-up go the first time they played? Are they hot/cold/or neutral.
2.) Who do the teams play in there next 3 games?
3.) Obviously I look at who's home/who's away...but I also look at how the team that is away has faired on the road their last few games (and are they on a big road trip?)...then I look to see how the home team plays at home (obviously certain teams have advantages, but some a lot more than others...Dallas, Phoenix, Sacramento, etc.)
4.) I'm not sure if we're discussing totals in this topic...but when I look at totals the only thing I look at is how the teams have played in their last few games, and where the game is being played....thats pretty much it, and that should be it....nobody should look at early season trends, as they don't mean shit when the trend you're looking at is from 3 or 4 months before
...and of course I look at injuries and all that bullcrap...but thats a given...
Can't wait to see what others have to say, and hopefully chime in on what they think about the way I cap...
