Good morning Patrick! Good instincts not to bet yesterday, as Steve Stevens wins.
ReplyDeleteLucky because I loved Atl too! would have been 0-2 day :(
DeleteI was debating going with the Umpire under streaker with UNDER in the Houston/Arizona game as home plate umpire Alan Porter was on a 9-0 streak on the under (now 10-0 streak) or the OVER in the Rangers game. Naturally I went with the Ranger OVER that lost. That's why money management is more important than the picks.
DeleteNext time Porter is the home base umpire, going to sure as shit bet the UNDER!
DeleteIt's so true baseball has been terrible for me again but my bankroll is not in jeopardy because of money management, I just need a nice little run to get back in black.
DeleteYeah, its why I went with hockey. 1 puck hit the red line but didn't quite go over it by like one inch or two. I knew then I was sunk, lol. I should of layed down and hoped the urge to bet hockey would pass.
DeleteHello Rick,
ReplyDeleteIt seems to be you have some issues regarding our services, please email us back so we can discuss your issues and clear up any doubts you might have about our service.
If it is regarding to your F rating in the directory, that is pretty simple, someone submitted a review and scam complaint for your service back in January. This is the ONLY reason your service has an F rating, because our system does all that automatically once reviews or complaints are submitted. If you contacted us and told us that was not an accurate representation of your service, we would have investigated and removed it. Instead you have chosen to post scam and fraud alerts about our company for no reason. Remember, we do not know who you are? Like 2,000+ other services out there. So if someone posts review or complaint, we just have to take their word for it until we hear from the service itself so we can analyze and investigate both sides of the story.
We are trying to clean up this DIRTY industry, not add to the problem. We noticed there was nothing like this out there and there was a need so we started the directory about 10 months ago. Also, we DO NOT sell client information, or else we would have no clients left! We sell OPT-IN leads that we get, these are guys who opt-in specifically to have handicappers call, email or text them.
Please contact us at 702-706-4007, and ask for me, Ruben, I am the managing director. If I am not available, please leave your name and # with whoever answers so I can get back to you asap.
Thanks,
Ruben
CapperTek
I mean think about it, out of 2,000+ services, why would we randomly pick your blog to single out?
ReplyDeleteIn fact, I spoke to one of my techs who claims he tried to contact your service back in January when the reviews posted for your service, however he was UNABLE to find any contact info, email address, phone number, or twitter.
ReplyDeleteAnyone can reach this site through the comments section. As you can see the comments are unmoderated. The only time I have deleted comments is when they were abusive to other posters. You are always free to have your say here. I am actually proud to have an "F" rating at your site. This blog will wear that as a badge of honor. Please post anytime, your comments are always welcome at this site.
DeleteRuben: We got back to you in six minutes, I think that is a pretty fast response time!
DeleteThis blog has been fighting scammers since its inception. We have never took a nickel from anybody and our record is totally documented. This site has never had a losing year. The fund we are using now is from previous profits, mainly from the famous Brandon Lang December to Remember 2011 Fade. This blog has been rated more than once by our independent sports handicapper as the number one handicapper on their home page, out of about 150 handicappers, most of them that charge for their services. Our picks are ALWAYS free. In fact, if you click on the banner to Cappers Monitor on the right you will see that even after yesterday's loss we are rated as the 6th hottest handicapper at their site over the last 10 days. For anyone to give this blog an :"F" rating is a travesty.
DeleteThe ONLY handicappers we get a monthly fee from are 6 cappers in our Directory, other than that, we do not not charge for 90% of the services we provide...
DeleteAnd those 6 handicappers have been around for a long time, and we consider honest. Just do the research for yourself, see if you can find any legit complaints about any of those 6 services.
DeleteRight, but we get reviews everyday, we cannot go leave comments on peoples blogs to get them to contact us back. Here are the criteria for how we rate services:
ReplyDelete"The ratings listed for each service are merely educated suggestions formulated by CapperTek based on many factors such as verification, history, owners, reputation, longevity, word of mouth, positive reviews, negative reviews, scam complaints, etc. Please note that the service ratings listed have not so much to do with a services picks record or ROI, rather if that service conducts business honestly and in a professional and transparent manner."
In fact, if you would have verified your website, we would have given you an A rating based on the fact that you do not charge for picks, which very few guys in this industry do. We can only go by what someone says, and we NEVER heard from you the last 5 months, so what other conclusion can we come up with?
This blog has been around for a long time. I would never rate someone by what soneone says. The person that complained was from a newsletter that we had posted links too. We removed the links as he suggested and even asked at another forum that no one posts his newsletter. I did everything he asked. I will let the other readers of this blog vouch for these facts.
DeleteOK, but without talking to you, how would we know that??? That is my point.
DeleteAlso, we have tried emailing you at: sportsbettingmadesimple@hotmail.com, sportsbettingmadesimple@yahoo.com, and rickb125125@yahoo.com with NO response from you.
ReplyDeleteI think the first two email addresses are no longer working, and I honestly do not recall seeing any email in rickb125125@yahoo.com. If I had I would of responded. Actually i was quite shocked to find we had an "F" rating at your site, and perhaps my reaction was too harsh. But perhaps your site was too quick to give this blog an "F" rating and should be more careful to check your facts. You only have 16 sites with "F" ratings, how hard is it to visit each site and interact with the people there before you arbitrarily give them an "F" rating?
DeleteI agree, back in January, the directory and software was still being developed and relatively new, so our ratings were a lot harsher than they are now that we have fine tuned our system.
DeleteMy tech scoured the web for 30 mins just to dig up those 3 email addresses for you, which in the end we still could not verify it was you because we got no response.
ReplyDeleteAgain my response is with 16 "F" ratings, you should of visited this site at the very least and interacted with us before you issued your "F" rating. Its like we are in the same coffee shop and you are saying you could not contact us by email when we are sitting two tables over from you. At least you could of come in and said hi.
DeleteAgain, at this time I have no problem with the "F" rating at your site. Everything is fine with us here now.
DeleteThat is not the point here, we do not want to unfairly label a service an F for no reason.
DeleteSorry. Today's MLBlocksmith Early Play.
ReplyDeleteSan Diego+110 1*
Good morning Pico! sorry to ask again but do you fade or follow mlblocksmith?
DeleteGood morning Pico, good seeing you. Thanks for the pick.
DeleteSorry Patrick. I'm not at good English. so I'm not sure my answer is right for you. But i bought MLB this season's package from MLBlocksmith.
DeleteI like this post here,
ReplyDeleteAnother FRAUD for the never ending list: PITCHPIX.CAPPERTEK.COM
Report Post
Here is a new fraud for soccer service.
Tried a week of selections. Daily and timely delivered was promised. This commitment was not meant. They came up with several excuses for non-delivery of email.
On Tuesday, March 18, they emailed a few selections; At the end of the day they added six more winning selections to the website.
On Friday, March 21, they emailed several losing selections. The website does not record/list all the losers.
On Saturday, March 22, they past posted several selections. They posted Chelsea win for two units. After the game started, with Chelsea leading 3-0, they changed it to a 5 unit pick. After I caught them, they changed it back to a two unit selection.
On Saturday, March 22, they posted Lok Moscow for 5 units, 20 minutes after the game started with a 2-0 lead.
I wrote a complaint to the website host. They defended the vendor and did absolutely nothing. Their website allows the scamdicapper to at any time post a pick, alter the units, delete a pick, or add one after the game starts.
PITCHPIX is the scam idea of twitter scammers @gr123163 @mcduffyspicks @country__crock
Exactly, that was another handicapper who registered a free account at CapperTek, he was making sales, then all the sudden he was doing shady things so we shut him down and gave him an F rating. I mean, we are an open service, anyone can join for free and post and sell picks. But you cannot get away with doing shady things.
DeleteThe guy who you re-tweeted recently, who tweeted a link to your SBR Forum post, was a handicapper MonsterBenPlays, who registered a free site with us and was making sales, then his picks went bad, then he started making bogus picks, fudging the lines, and just doing things outside our guidelines so we gave him an F rating and shut him down, so now he has sour grapes. I mean, just look at his twitter history, he did nothing but praise CapperTek for 5 months until we shut him down. Then all the sudden he is crying SCAM!
ReplyDeleteThe thing is I am easy to work with. What would you like me to do now for you? If you want me to remove the links I have posted to the right, I will gladly do so. If you want me to not retweet the SBR link, I will be more than happy to do that as well. If you want me to post a response on your behalf to the SBR Fraud Warning forum please give me something and I will post it. If you want this blog to stand down more than happy to do that.
DeleteIt's almost a shame to stand down though, things were just heating up!
DeleteI do not want you to "stand down", I just want the truth posted, just like you do. Again, if we would have heard from you, those reviews would have been removed 5 months ago.
DeleteJust a clip from this great read...From http://www.football-data.co.uk/blog/suckers_sharks.php
ReplyDeleteSome of you will now rightly say that if Professorspicks.com is not independently verified - and it doesn't appear to be - then you would be mad to buy their betting advice. That's certainly true, but it doesn't stop suckers buying it. Furthermore, if we dig a little deeper into the service we find that it is reviewed by a website called Cappertek, giving it a B+ rating, with no reviews reporting any scamming. Perhaps that is unsurprising when we learn that the both Professorspicks and Cappertek share the same web hosting ASN nummber (AS26496). Furthermore, there are additional reviewed tipster services who even share the same IP address, for example EverybodyLovesWinners.com (don't we just), which gets a B rating, and AllStarSportsPicks.com which gets an A rating.
Digging even further we find an independent monitoring service called WagerPolice.com, which has exactly the same IP address as Cappertek, EverybodyLovesWinners and AllStarSportsPicks. WagerPolice claims the following on its homepage:
Patrick: I want to work with this guy like I did with the guy with the newsletter. If they are just more careful before they give someone an F rating, I will be satisfied.
DeleteThat is another guy who had a bad review posted for his site, then went crazy and decided to "expose" CapperTek. ProfessorsPicks has nothing to do with CapperTek, we do not have the same ASN number, do a little research and find out for yourself. Just another guy who felt slighted by someone posting a bad review for their service in the Directory.
DeleteWe tried contacting that guy too, with no avail.
DeleteWe even tried calling Steve Stevens of VIP Sports, but his response was to send us death threats so we went the other direction and posted everything we could find out about him and his service on his review page in the Directory.
DeleteI have posted your first comment on the blog over at the SBR Sports Forum in the Fraud Warning thread. If that is not OK with you, I will delete it. I think its important you get your say.
DeleteNo problem.
DeleteI have just deleted the two link sections on the right pertaining to Cappertek.
DeleteAlso, one thing I have a REAL problem with, is that you are saying we sell our client info. That is 100% false and clearly a lie. If we did that, we would have no clients left and a mutiny on our hands. We ONLY sell opt-in info from guys we get who opt-in their email address or phone number willingly to be contact by handicappers.
DeleteI will post your other comments as well over at that same forum and refrain from posting anything negative here or anywhere else about Cappertek. If there is anything else you want from us here, please don't hesitate to ask!
DeleteNo problem, just post the truth. And please, I invite you to use the directory to post your picks, it is 100% free. That way you can test drive our system and see for yourself what our objective is. I will setup your account and remove the comments, since clearly now we see after talking to you that they were probably just someone pissed off at you.
DeleteOk Rick it's your blog I will stop.
ReplyDeletePatrick: You can post anything you want at anytime. I was just giving you my thinking. Please do your thing at all times!
DeleteThanks Rick it's ok though you have made your point quite clear they could have contacted you like they did today at any time. let's focus on making some $ today!
DeleteHow were we supposed to contact him? Look at this entire blog, see if you can find any contact info because we cannot. We cannot assume the only way to contact a service is to leave a comment on their blog.
DeleteI felt really hurt by that "F" rating after doing everything I could to help other bettors.
DeleteRuben: We are mainly interested in here in making money. I will go ahead and post your other comments at the SBR Fraud Warning thread.
DeleteI understand. But please, look at it from our end. We get 2 submissions for your service claiming that you are stealing info and you should go to jail, then we try to find contact info for you or your service with no luck, what other conclusion are we supposed to come up with until we hear from you directly??
Deleteyou didn't have to assume anything? you could have simply left a comment like today and & you would have got a response! simple. however what you did assume was those unfounded comments left on your site were true an issued an F based solely on that.
DeleteThank you Ruben for your comments. Please feel to comment anytime.
DeleteThat is not how we do business, we get too many submissions to do that. We need to contact you via phone, email, or twitter. Also, as I know you are sure, any idiot can setup a blog. I am not calling you an idiot, just pointing out the fact that we do not use blog posts as a way of contacting a service.
DeleteAlso, I ask you, how come you did not contact us the second you found out about the reviews? www.cappertek.com/contact.asp, our contact page has about 5 ways to reach us, including LIVE CHAT.
DeleteWhy am I bothering ...smh! the service is a blog that you gave & F to! based on comments! that's how it's done here just like today !! the comment section is the contact
DeleteI do not think you are getting my point. We are a business, we cannot conduct business on a open blog, that is NOT usually how people conduct business. Maybe you do it that way, but we did not know that. 95% of handicapping services out there have at least a email or some sort of contact form. How are we supposed to assume you want your business aired our on a open blog for everyone to see. If that is how you run your business, I salute you, but we cannot assume that.
DeleteYour not getting my point Ruben this all could have been avoided with some professionalism on your companies part. It's Rick's blog i'm done & no need to respond to me anyway have a nice day.
DeleteBut Patrick, business professionalism does not include airing someones business on an open blog, we cannot assume that. But now that we know that is how Rick does his business, we can do it that way.
DeleteCan you email me your direct email address, you can reach me at info@cappertek.com, I will email you back your account info, just log in and see for yourself how our system works. We will never ask for a penny from you.
ReplyDeleteMy email address is rickb125125@yahoo.com
DeleteI will look to see if your mail is going to spam and correct that.
I am posting all your comments to the the Fraud Warning thread and may take other actions on your behalf. Thanks again for posting Ruben, much appreciated!
Email sent, please look out for it. Also, log in your account and let us know what you think!
DeleteWe removed the reviews, which makes your rating go back to a C+. Every service in the directory starts with a C+ (average rating). We also verified your website, thus bringing your rating to a B by default.
ReplyDeleteYou are asking what verified means?
CapperTek Verified Sports Handicapping Services are services that have been verified by us by placing a verification banner on their website. Basically, this means that we have established an open line of communication directly with the owner of the specific service so we can resolve any negative reviews or scam complaints.
All this can be found on our FAQ page: www.cappertek.com/faq.asp
Thanks,
Ruben
I have deleted any negative postings at SBR where I can and have posted your comments. I am used to posting at blogs and making comments at blogs. I realize not everyone is as comfortable with blogs as I am. I seem to get a lot of email from various sports services and they all go to my spam folder and are deleted. Frankly, I was never even aware of your website until I saw that Steve Stevens' video at SBR.
DeleteThis blog tries to be fair to everyone and as far as I am concerned there is no hard feelings. I am a little disappointed that I am losing my "F" rating at your site Ruben, but its something I will have to live with. :-)
lol Listen, if you want your F rating back, just scam someone, we will give it to you!
DeleteWow - got here late. Here's a thought - CAPPERTEK seems to have plenty of time NOW to spend here on this blog. And apparently the contact is working - as there is an in-depth back and forth going on here. So the claim of "We couldn't contact you" seems pretty dis-ingenious. Given that instead of searching the blog for emails/phone numbers/contact info - it's pretty clear all you had to do was leave a post - which today you seemed to have figured out.
ReplyDeleteI also find it interesting that you start a service ostensibly to rate handicapping sites, then do absolutely no follow up and merely trust the ratings that people give. What's to stop any competitor from posting bogus reviews? You seem to think the solution is that services should contact you? "If you contacted us and told us that was not an accurate representation of your service, we would have investigated and removed it." So let's see... You start a service to rate handicappers - then you do no work to verify unless bogus reports about the ratings are brought to your attention? That seems backwards. If ACCURACY is your goal, YOU should investigate the services. The way you have it set up - anyone can say anything - and you put the burden on the people they may or may not be slandering to defend themselves. When, if you hadn't provided a rating forum, it wouldn't be taking place.
Honestly - it seems a bit lazy to start a ratings site, then only investigate or substantiate anything based on complaints from the people who are being rated. Perhaps you should have come up with a better business model. Or to keep things honest - have a minimum number of ratings before something such as an "F" rating could be published. Then, when you see it coming down the pipeline - you could do your due diligence. Otherwise the value of the site is greatly diminished, and it just becomes a bunch of people popping off at the mouth. Wow - that's unique.
That's my 2 cents. For the record - I'm just a poster here. I have nothing to do with running or owning this blog.
Your two cents always counts and is welcome Chevycola!
DeleteI hear what you are saying. But these reviews were posted back in January. We tried to get the contact info for this service with no luck. We cannot assume we have to leave a post on a blog to get in touch with the service. Also, the service is aware of the reviews, they can contact us at anytime.
DeleteI have advised anyone over at SBR, if they have any questions to call you directly Ruben. I hope that is OK.
DeleteNo problem. And as far as BettingJesus goes, we can only go by what he does in our Directory as he pays to be a featured handicapper, and he cannot get away with scamming anyone in our directory without being exposed.
DeleteAs an aside, if this is the same BettingJesus that is a graduate of the University of Washington then I can say nothing negative about him. When I had an earlier blog, he linked to my blog and I linked back to his. Although I have not been in contact with him for some time, I still consider him a friend.
DeleteAnd as far as him posting in the directory, we have had no issues, or clearly they would have been made public, nothing can be hidden in the directory.
DeleteAgain - not to belabor it - but you didn't seem to have any issues contacting anyone today. Not quite sure why it took half a year to figure that out. Seems like it would have taken 20 seconds to post a message. I'm betting you spent longer than that searching for contact info. Personally, if you had left a post - it would be there for everyone to see, and if it had been deleted, at least you'd know SOMEONE saw it. I mean, what takes longer? Searching for contact info you can't find, or leaving a quick post? Sounds like you were walking around the block to go next door. But, here you are, and things seem to be moving forward.
ReplyDeleteWe certainly found out a lot about Cappertek today!
DeleteWell, because we had like 100 clients contacting us letting us know that we are being trashed on a blog, forum, and twitter. That is why we contacting him this way as a last resort. Remember, Rick also had 6 months to contact us. www.cappertek.com/contact.asp, there are like 5 ways to contact us INCLUDING instant LIVE CHAT.
ReplyDeleteLike I say I never heard of your website before I saw that Steve Stevens video and we are not really a sports handicapping service per se, just a sports blog. When I saw that F rating I was dumbfounded, just like if a stranger had walked up to me and slapped me in the face. So I reacted. Like a good businessman, you did damage control and did it in a very effective way by reaching out directly to the blog. I think in the long run, this whole incident probably helped Cappertek more than it hurt. Ruben, you don't seem like the ogre I had pictured in my mind as the guy running Cappertek and you have certainly put your business in a much more positive light.
DeleteI hear you.

Thanks jamminj!
DeleteWow, my head is spinning. I share Chevy's point of view. Somebody has a lot of time on his hands. Rick, do you think the review came from good ole Paul Bearer? He seemed to have a huge problem with us a while back.
ReplyDeleteSlats: I think that review came from the guy with the newsletter.
DeleteI can get you the email address of who it came from...but I will not post it here, I can email you directly.
DeleteThanks Ruben. I would appreciated it, please email me that and I will keep it confidential. I am almost certain it was from a guy with a newsletter based out of New York.
DeleteI will email it to you, just give me until the end of the day. I am on business on the east coast, I will have my Tech back on the west coast to dig it up and get it to me, since we deleted the reviews from your profile earlier today, we have to load a backup of our database to get that email address from the review.
DeleteRick, email was sent to your email address.
DeleteI went with the Dodgers early today at -120. We'll see how it fairs. Close game right now.
ReplyDeleteAny time I can get Greinke at -120 - I'm hopping on that.
ReplyDeleteI was just banned permanently from SBR for "promoting". Probably for the best. Better people than me have been banned there!
ReplyDeleteThis is what comes up when I try to log in:
You have been banned for the following reason:
promotional account
Date the ban will be lifted: Never
I've NEVER ever even gone there.
DeleteWell you are missing out Chevycola. You will never get the pleasure of being banned from there!
DeleteJesus Christ!!!!!
DeleteThey banned us too yesterday, without us even making a post. We were gonna reply to your posts to get in contact with you but they did not allow it. Who knows what their agenda is.
DeleteI pretty much knew if I posted your comments there would be a chance of me being banned. The thread has been moved to the promo section and I have asked scamadvisor.com to remove my comments there. You would think you should be given a chance to defend yourself on any forum or blog and that in the end fairness would prevail.
DeleteRolli now 21-8 free play run today he has
ReplyDeleteHeat/Spurs under 197
Jays
W.sox
also he is 6-0 in nba playoffs with his freebies
DeleteThanks Patrick! I know he had the Spurs as his last NBA free play which was a good pick.
DeleteI see Lang has a 50 dime total play on the Heat/Spurs. If I can find the play and if Lang has the OVER I am going to fade him. If he has the UNDER, I am going to leave it alone.
DeleteYea i'm waiting on Stevens & Langtard to decide on my plays. I plan on following Rolli just seems like everyone on Jays I don't like that.
DeleteSounds like a plan Patrick. Lets see what Stevens and the Langatang have.
DeleteThey probably see CapperTek as a competitor. Because they get a lot of their traffic from handicappers posting their services pick in their forums. We do the same thing, just offer it in a way that is much more structured that just forum posts. I get their stance.
ReplyDeleteThe operators over there are just doing their job. You can see their position because you are running a sports related business yourself. A lot of times posters do not see where they are coming from because they do not have to worry about the bottom line.
