With all the posting I do here at b-chat, it has become like home. Some of it contributes and, as you well know, some of my posts are promotional in nature.
The one thing I appreciate about b-chat besides the family like atmosphere is the structure of the forum itself. It has been an opportunity for legitimate services--there aren't many--to receive exposure like no other forum.
That's a far cry from nearly all other forums that throw out the baby with the bathwater. Hey, I've been in the biz nearly 25 years and will be the first to admit that there is an ugly side to it. But we try to avoid that stigma here in Dave's World.
Having said that, I want to introduce a theme that I'll call My Feature Capper of the Week. Or of the Month. Or, more likely, of the "whenever-I-can-make-time-to-do-it".
The purpose is to give back to the forum in a unique way over and beyond comp picks, articles, previews, posting of systems, and all that other usual stuff. I'll pick out a capper that's had a reasonable number of posted picks and break it down.
The point is to highlight the Featured Cappers strengths and, in so doing, give a better perspective on who to follow and where to follow them. I might follow so-and-so in Hockey, but avoid the same in Hoops. That kinda' stuff. I want to choose cappers that significantly contribute to the forum, of which there are many.
With the football season right around the corner, I'll probably start looking at how cappers did last year in football--as posted. That would be a nice head start for the upcoming season. But for my first featured capper I chose to look at baseball.
With a 2-0 Sweep yesterday, a 10-6 run on MLB SIDES, nearly 250 posts at b-chat since 2002, and a full 103 MLB releases in 24 days, my first featured capper is...

2004 MLB RECORD as posted @ bettorschat through August 2nd
FIRST POST THIS SEASON: July 10
MLB TOTAL NUMBER OF PLAYS (excluding pushes and postponed games): 100
WINS: 54
LOSSES: 46
NET WINS IF RATED ALL THE SAME: 4.22 Net Games
TOTAL RISK IF RATED ALL THE SAME: 115.99
RETURN ON RISK IF RATED ALL THE SAME: +3.64 %
AVERAGE LAY: -1.16
ALL TRIPLE PLAYS: 2-1/+0.53
ALL DOUBLE PLAYS: 11-6/+4.50
ALL SINGLE PLAYS: 41-39/-0.81
SIDES: 41-28/+11.22 (trip: 1-1/-0.47; dbl: 10-3/+6.80; sgl: 30-24/+4.89)
TOTALS: 13-18/-7.00 (trip: 1-0/+1.00; dbl: 1-3/-2.30; sgl: 11-15/-5.70)
STRENGTHS: Sides--especially double plays or higher (11-4/+6.33).
R.O.R. RANK @ Bigguy Free Picks Site (100 plays or more): 6th
*NOTES: The results regarding double and triple plays only reflect the results as they were posted. It does not reflect how they were personally played. It is notable that gianfranco69 has posted some specific personal plays where more monies were played on certain days--and did well on those games (8-2)--even though technically they were not posted as double or triple plays.
I can relate to those last minute plays where you play more and win even though they do not get posted. Last Sunday night I released a play on the Marlins, but it wasn't until the last minute that I gave a 'go-ahead' with the SEATTLE STORM PK -280. Too late to post and too late to send out as a release, but nevertheless a winner.
G69 has been hot of late and differentiates between single plays and higher rated plays more frequently than pre-allstar break. G69 is my choice for this week's feature capper. Hats off to all those who contribute and, moreover, win. Kudos.
