We have the most INFORMATION available now for Cappers, with the INTERNET--
Before the NET we just used our OWN picks and read the NEWSPAPERS and maybe watched the SPORTS CENTRE--
Now we have the MOST INFORMATION available to us with the INTERNET and you would think we SHOULD BE BETTER CAPPERS-
I believe it works like this-- You are trying to MAKE A DECISION on an EVENT that will take place in the FUTURE--
By reading the INFORMATION on the NET, some is GOOD INFO and SOME IS BAD INFO or what I call IRRELEVANT INFO--
Picking WINNERS is nothing MORE than ANALYZING the CORRECT INFORMATION.. There is saying Looking for LOVE in all the WRONG PLACES-
Well in Capping I will make a SAYING-- Looking at the WRONG information will TURN into a LOSING PICK--
Like any DECISION IN LIFE, sometimes YOU KNOW the ANSWER right away, SOME TIMES you need INFORMATION, some PEOPLE OVER ANALYZE INFO which will RESULT in THEM not making a clear CHOICE--
My take is that the INTERNET is kind of LIKE ALCOHOL with regards to CAPPING--
If INTERNET Is used correctly and in MODERATION it is GOOD and can help you get information like BOX SCORES----
Just like ALCOHOL when used EXCESSIVELY it TAKES A PERSON OVER AND CLOUDS JUDGEMENT and RESULTS IN BAD DECISIONS-- Alcohol is that POWERFULL----
INTERNET when used EXCESSIVELY can also INFLUENCE a PERSON and CLOUD his judgement ALSO--
This RESULTS in UNCERTAINTY and SWAYING A PICK--
Ex- TODAY all they WROTE and said on ABC is HOW THE LAKERS HAVE NOT LOST 3 games in a ROW in over 2 years--
They KEPT ON REPEATING THIS-- THis is a INFLUENTIAL STATEMENT-- IT HAS NO RELEVANCE TO THE GAME TODAY-
However the HIDDEN MESSAGE TO MANY is to BET THE LAKERS--
THE ABC and INTERNET will SPREAD that LAKERS BULLSHIT THAT THEY HAVE NOT LOST 3 in a row SINCE 2 years--
INTERNET can be a good TOOL but WHEN USED WRONG OR EXCESSIVELY can be a CAPPERS worst NIGHTMARE--
I wont even TOUCH on forums which are nothing more than A PLACE FOR REASSURANCE---
THe real purpose of a SPORTS FORUM IMO is for people who have EXTENSIVE KNOWLEDGE of thier HOME TEAM should POST daily BLOGs about their TEAMS so everyone can benefit from the information.
I think the INTERNET IMO is good for an experienced CAPPER but OVERALL I SEE MORE NEGATIVE TO the AVERAGE CAPPER-
