A Fezzik testimonial Just a brief story about my day last Sunday at the M casino. I was in town for the Friday night dinner that Tim Patterson organized (referenced in another thread).
I hung out in the sports book Sunday, said hi in the afternoon to Fezz and Dan (CalSports) who were in their front row seats as usual. Before the start of the Sunday night game, Dan was leaving and Fezzik asked if I wanted to take his seat.
Since lurking around the old SSB since 2002 and posting at the old Fezzik's place since 2004 or so, I knew Fezzik to be an excellent judge of betting value and was a winning gambler. However, at times I have been somewhat critical of a few small elements of his game. But, I can now add that I've seen him operate at one arms length away. Fezzik doing in-progress betting is quite a sight to behold. I won't get into a lot of detail, but he can watch the game, estimate the odds, furiously make bets, post here, and carry on a conversation or two virtually simultaneously.
Really remarkable. Those who overly criticize Fezz should try doing what he does. IMO, he does take the criticism too much to heart. No doubt there are downturns in handicapping just like all other forms of advantage play.
Finally, I would like to thank Fezz for his graciousness and the pleasure of watching him in action. It was great fun to watch a pro who operates about 10x faster than I do and I'm not exceptionally slow ... LOL
