What does a capper manage in BSD, and what does a bettor use?
A capper publishes a point of view and, when running an available free club, takes on its owner tasks. A bettor reads shared analysis, chooses which communities to join and decides what to review independently. These activities meet in Tail and Clubs, while each person's research access remains separate. A Grade is a second opinion, not a pick.

The capper's job is to publish clearly and manage their space
For a capper, the useful starting point is a public profile and material people can understand. Explain the selection or research you are sharing, including its limits. Give readers a reason to follow the reasoning rather than asking them to trust a claim about future results.
The current free-club creation flow requires an approved public profile. Creating a free club introduces owner responsibilities in addition to posting: keeping its description useful, managing the available settings and handling content through the controls your role permits. Free creation does not activate a paid offer or grant research credits.
- Publish an explanation that identifies the idea being discussed.
- Keep the club's purpose clear so a potential member can judge whether it fits.
- Use owner or administrator controls only for the club and actions your account permits.
- Check the confirmed result of a settings or lifecycle action before telling members it is complete.
The bettor's job is to decide what deserves their attention
A reader can start with a public post, inspect the attached material and decide whether a smaller club conversation would help. You do not have to become a creator to participate. Within a free club, reading, replying or posting depends on confirmed membership and the permissions available to you; some posting also requires an approved public profile.
For your own slip, decide whether to use your available Grade or Doctor research. The author's post is an input to your thinking, not an instruction to use the same selections or stake. If you want a report, make sure it concerns the ticket you actually intend to review.
Use permissions to understand which role you have
Owning a club does not give its members the owner's management controls. Likewise, being a member does not make every publishing action available: the app checks current access and the club's permissions. If you see a notice that membership is being checked, wait for confirmation instead of treating an old view as current permission.
Following a public profile, joining a free club and having research available are distinct account states. This page compares what people do; the current app must confirm the access needed for a particular action. The free-club workflow described here is not a paid-club checkout or a promise of creator payouts.
Illustrative example: the same discussion, different tasks
A fictional capper runs a free club focused on explaining player selections. Their task is to keep the club description clear and publish an understandable discussion post. A fictional member's task is different: read the explanation, decide whether a question is worth asking and inspect their own saved work if relevant. The member does not receive management controls or research credits simply by joining. No real person, successful pick, paid membership or earnings claim is represented.
Related questions
Does being a capper mean every reader should copy the selections?
No. A capper shares a point of view. Readers can question it, use it as a starting point for their own review or decide to leave it alone. BSD does not guarantee the outcome of a shared selection.
Can a bettor contribute without running a club?
Yes, where the current posting or reply controls permit it. Contribution does not require club ownership, but the app still checks the relevant profile, membership and content permissions.
