Frequently Asked Questions

We don't condone gambling. But if you're betting anyway, there's no reason to do it without checking CappingAlpha first. Here's how it works.

What is CappingAlpha?

CappingAlpha is a sports betting intelligence website. It pulls together everything you'd want to know about a game (player data, historical outcomes, public market behavior, live lines, weather, and capper signals), normalizes it through a proprietary scoring engine, and ranks it into a single list of the day's highest-conviction plays. Think of it as the research layer between you and the market.

Is CappingAlpha free?

Yes, in part. Free users always see the day's number one ranked pick. Paid plans unlock the full ranked board (picks 1 through 50) plus the scores and supporting data behind each one.

What sports does it cover?

MLB, NBA, WNBA, NHL, Tennis (ATP and WTA), and Golf, with more on the way. Every sport is scored on the same board so you can compare the day's best plays across all of them.

How are picks ranked?

Every pick runs through a proprietary point system that weighs the quality of the source and a range of game and market factors. Higher scores mean higher conviction. The math updates throughout the day and can keep shifting right up until game time as new information lands. We surface the data and the ranking. You make the call.

What is an MVP pick?

An MVP pick is any play that scores 50 or more points, the highest-conviction tier on the board. MVP picks are tracked long term and graded win, loss, or push once the game finishes. See the full track record.

Does CappingAlpha guarantee wins?

No. Nobody can, and anyone who says otherwise is selling something. Sports are unpredictable and anything can happen in a single game. CappingAlpha is an information tool that helps you make a more informed decision. It is not a guarantee of any outcome.

How much does it cost?

Three options: $1 for a single day (one time), $4 per week, or $75 per year. The free tier always shows the number one pick of the day at no cost.

Does CappingAlpha place bets or tell me how to bet?

No. CappingAlpha never wagers on any game and never tells you how to play it. We surface and rank the data. You decide what to do with it, if anything.

How is the track record kept?

Every MVP pick is recorded and graded once its game ends, and the running record is published on the public track record page. Picks stay on the board whether they win or lose.
