Fezzik Novermber 13 Thread Picks

Bad as bad can be (almost). When you've done this a long time, you see a lot and learn to ride. This has been kinda special, but still not standing for the nastiness. Jackie Peanuts gone. Amateur is about the kindest thing I can say about him and his kind.

Like most here, I don't have any issue with the results if there is helpful discussion/insight into methodology/rationale/thought processes. The site appears to market itself as more than just a picks site yet every time this gets raised or anything gets questioned, no response--just more picks and declarations like "no more college," "things will turn around," and "im more focused than ever." Does it really take that much time to focus on 12-16 NFL games a week and tail Londo "while others are actively doing 4 sports" that Fez can't engage in ANY dialogue that his subscribers are seeking? Yet he can provide free information at the VI football seminar to anyone who cared to attend or listen to the podcast? I'm a little stumped by this business model....I get the hook of selling "Hilton 2-time winner" but what about client retention, esp if the site is attributing results to short-term variance?

[QUOTE=Fezzik;48167]Not my year. Off the charts bad, my apologies to all for a terrible football year. I've had years I've struggled to win vs. W.Available lines, but I've never seen a year where I cannot pick anything ..........and ALL I'm looking at is the NFl, nothing else...[/QUOTE] Not looking at Canadian Football?

I had a pretty good year a couple of years ago, I think it was my 3rd best year out of 15 years. I had a 4 or 5 week stretch in there where I went about 38%, and I wasn't playing big dogs. I got so frustrated I put my hand through a towel dispenser in the bathroom right next to the sportsbook in a Vegas casino. I got barred, busted up my hand real good, and I got a one inch scar (I got my money's worth with that punch, I'll admit that. If you punch something so hard you scar yourself 3 inches below your wrist, you got your money's worth) to look at for the rest of my life. They let me back in the Casino the next day. I told them I couldn't win a bet, and behold, they decided to let me back in the next day. Gotta love the casinos.

I ask Londo why he likes his Canada plays, and based on that, I select some of them. I liked Hou-3, I liked TB +4. Hou disappeared before I could post it as a play. I bet both sides of the game, LIKED both sides........ I always hear "don't over-react to short term samples". However, I would have to be an idiot to not react to how badly my plays are this year. What's comical to me is that I can make NFL numbers that match the closers seemingly week after week. I nail the line moves on almost every game...........but they don't win this year. Ten OV 46, Den OV 41.............they are cutting in line to play OV 46.5, OV 42 at post................. none zero bagel.

will repeat plenty of your stuff is same side as syndicates although they did bet hou and miami yesterday.......these nfl totals that you have attract the right kind of money also just not getting there for one reason or another....

Now have to throw out the Denver numbers from earlier this year. The offense is completely different - 55 runs and 8 passes. Obviously the mix won't be this dramatic going forward but closer to this than the beginning of the year. Tough to go over when they run so much unless the number gets adjusted dramatically.

Agree 100%.........in some prior years, I've struggled winning with selections vs. widely available lines. In 2006 I think, I struggled to win in my own betting......but THIS YEAR, I will admit I've gotten KILLED in my football BETTING. Horrendous.

At least you are man enough to admit it. half the battle. Remember handicapers are just as good as their last pick. Hang in there.:cool:
