Tips from X, checked against final scores

Which tipsters actually cash

We read public picks on X, find the match each pick is for and check it against the official result. The ranking accounts for difficulty: backing a favourite is easier than hitting 3.00 odds.

How we grade tipster picks

Full methodology
01

Take public picks

We count tipster posts on X published before kick-off. Retweets and after-the-fact results posts do not count.

02

Find the match

We identify the team, market, line and odds and link the pick to a specific fixture.

03

Check the score

Every pick is graded on the official final score and links to the original post and the result.

Tipster leaderboards by sport

What is BetBuddyRank

BetBuddyRank is an independent leaderboard of tipsters on X (formerly Twitter). We take public sports picks posted before kick-off, link each pick to a specific match and grade it against the final score. For every tipster we compute the hit rate, the expected hit rate from odds and team strength, ROI and an index that accounts for how hard the picks were. The leaderboard is recalculated automatically after every results update and covers football (soccer), NFL, MLB, tennis, basketball and hockey.

In the US the same people are called cappers or handicappers, in the UK tipsters. Whatever the name, the question is the same: whose sports picks on Twitter win more often than the betting line predicts. Only verified results answer it, so every row of this capper leaderboard links to the original post and the final score.

Tipster leaderboard FAQ

What is the BetBuddyRank tipster leaderboard?

It is a table of tipsters on X where every public pick is checked against the final score of the match. The position on the leaderboard comes from an index that shows how much more often a tipster wins than the odds and team strength predict.

Which picks count towards the leaderboard?

Picks posted on X before kick-off count if the market can be graded from the score: match result, handicap or spread, totals, both teams to score, double chance, correct score and parlays. Corners, cards, player props and live bets are not graded.

Why is hit rate not the main metric for a capper?

An 80% hit rate on 1.20 favourites loses to the market, while 45% at 2.50 odds beats it. So the leaderboard compares actual wins with expected wins and ranks tipsters by an index where 50 means as good as the market.

How many picks does a tipster need to be ranked?

At least 10 graded picks. The index formula shrinks small samples, so a short hot streak does not put a newcomer at the top.

Can a tipster hide a loss by deleting the tweet?

If a tweet is deleted before the pick reaches our database, the loss is not counted. Once a pick is recorded, it stays in the tipster history with a link to the original post and the final score, even if the post is deleted later.

Is BetBuddyRank affiliated with X or bookmakers?

No. BetBuddyRank is not affiliated with X Corp. or any bookmaker, does not sell picks and does not use affiliate links. The leaderboard describes past results and is not betting advice. 18+.

How often is the capper leaderboard updated?

The leaderboard is recalculated after every data update: new picks and match results come in automatically. The time of the last update is shown in the site header and in the open data summary.

Can I use the leaderboard data?

Yes. Every table is available as open JSON files and RSS feeds, and each tipster has a badge for a website or Telegram channel. The list of files is on the methodology page.
