Fez's posted record

[QUOTE=custer;13290]FWIW, this has been a very tough year for a lot of people I know. I'm certainly below expectations. The market's been much tougher, due to the economy and more smart people trying to make money at this. I know Fezzik to be a genius, a great gambler, and a football expert. It is very difficult to post winning picks. The best WA plays, as soon as you start betting them, move fast. So you're often left posting the ones that have had resistance. Everything I've ever posted is in the 40% neighborhood. Selection bias is one of the main reasons. That said, I think 2 things are very unfair. First, telling everyone that people should be winning because they should be playing his contest picks. Dreamer does a very good job of refuting that argument here, [url]https://www.sharpsportsbetting.com/forums/free/general/index.cgi/read/28170[/url], sry if you have to copy/paste. It was also unfair to claim 55% while pointing out the mistakes of others. The pointing out was fine, but the 'I'm hitting 55%', when 45% is closer to the mark, is not right. Also, no matter what some of you think, this is currently a Fezz picks site. Fezz asked me to post some stuff earlier this year, and made a couple NFL picks posts I believe. No one responded. The people that are on this site are here for Fezz's picks. Any chance of this site turning into more was ruined by the deletions. You can't say its not a picks site when you think you're losing, and then, LVA is 55% when you think you're winning.[/QUOTE] Being new to the forum world, I am still trying to figure out who is good or who is just trying to take a shot. If I would have known that Fezz personally asked you to post i would certainy respond and follow your stuff. I just dont yet know who is a pro and who is just playing games to play games. Any help would be appreciated Custer. Thanks.

[QUOTE=IceTea;13285]Including college/NFL: "As you can see by the results I have Fezzik a weighted 127-142.5-3 -30.77 units based on his own weighting system."[/QUOTE] I don't think this is correct. I will go through all of Fezzik's plays when I have time, but I think he was + in CFB.

[QUOTE=custer;13293]The picks weren't deleted, the posts making fun of Fezzik and the sheep were. They were making fun of the site, which had turned into, 'Fezzik makes picks, and members wait for them and respond with thank you's. The same members post their own picks, many of them acting like they are sharing 'information'. No one responds in those. Every Sunday, any perceived coaching mistake is made fun of, many of which aren't even mistakes. We thought you wanted more, so we called a spade a spade. I guess we were wrong in what you were going for here. As you've seen, I have ceased with those types of posts since you made your point. Also, your 1st post in this thread isn't fair at all. In this post, [url]https://www.sharpsportsbetting.com/forums/free/general/index.cgi/read/28142[/url], and then in this one, [url]https://www.sharpsportsbetting.com/forums/free/general/index.cgi/read/28144[/url], and then really in this one, [url]https://www.sharpsportsbetting.com/forums/free/general/index.cgi/read/28148[/url], Fezz tells dreamer to add up his record. Then, when he does, and you don't like it, you question its accuracy. Groovinmahoovin has checked the record and tells us that is at least close.[/QUOTE] Eh? I intimated that I hadn't looked at the methadology or checked it (and I don't intend to). Dreamer's competent, but that's a lot of data to crunch. And as I've stated in the past, this board is not for elitists to amuse themselves at the expense of the less knowledgeable (of which I'm a member of the latter). And it's not gonna be allowed. Sorry your feelings were hurt, man.

I can't see what ANYONE would have to begin to complain about. Fezz's totals, especially, have made me MANY times more $$$$$ than the $25.00/month. Personally, I don't care what the exact numbers are of his season records. The credibility issue boils down to one thing only: How many tickets are you cashing? I know I cash almost all of his totals and the losers are usually really close. That's the bottom line for me..... THANKS FOR SHARING, Fezzik.

I have cash a lot more winners than losers from FEZ's posts. Thanks FEZ

Fezzik apparently wants contest picks counted as official plays, if the lines were available. Yikes. Going from memory, a couple things Fezzik has said about contest picks. -Some of them exist to round out the card. Their may not be 5 a week for instance he likes, but he has to make 5. -Some can be "contrarian", not picks he likes or would bet, but picks designed to try and gain ground on what the leaders are likely to play. Ive never heard Fezzik say contest picks are official, until now, when his record got Computer Bobbed and it wasnt good and the contest pick record is and he'd now like to fold it in. There is clearly some optimal contest strategy that would not be utilized in making some cash bets.

with a new year starting, seems like a fair idea to consider a policy on what is a pick going forward.

Where did he say that?

Its in the thread at sharpsportsbetting. I dont post there so I posted here.

I get it............
