Why does Fezzik post

Why does Fezzik post I don't post often and am not a sharp, but I have to comment on this site to ask the question why in the world does Fezzik do it? I've lived over 20 years in Vegas, been betting far longer than that and over the years have accumulated several sports web sites that I go to for information. Like an earlier poster, I don't feel I'm good enough nor have the math skills to study each game as true gamblers/handicappers do, so these are my source of info. Some will say, bad sources, but it is what it is. I have witnessed Fezzik being hounded off posting at various times in the past by critics that you can only call professional gripers: never satisfied, always have somethong to complain about, often personal and just strike me as people that you would not want to spend time around. For myself, not being a big bettor but nonetheless a daily bettor, who's small time bets (dollar-wise) are as important to me as the so called nickel/dime bettors are to others and I have always been grateful for anyone who has earned the respect of other gamblers (such as Old School who is not afraid to post EVERY day and Fezzik winning various contests) that can help me make decisions on betting by sharing their insight. Period. I understand that Fezzik used to sell his picks some number of years ago for like $600 or some such figure and simply got fed up with all the crap he had to digest so he quit. Even when he started that other web site it didn't take long until he was being trashed for giving FREEEEE information and still people bitched. Unbelievable to me. Now I see, even on this forum, people are complaining that they don't like the "timing of his releases". Ha. For 25 bucks. Come on. I say to Fezzik post whenever and whatever in the hell you want. I will glean from it what suits me and forget the rest and then shut up. It's curious to me also that when I go to these other sites now, without exception, there will be someone posting a question about this new site: "How is Fezzik's new site doing?:What is the URL of Fezzik's new site? How is he doing with his picks? Is it free? How much does it cost? Yet when he posts a pick some people still seem to want to bitch. Amazing - the end of lecture.

Well said, I'm new to thread but have going to seminar by Vegas Insider for years. I know Fezzik is there and appreciate his posts here. Thanks coolmil

rj - You have said what hundreds of us have thought for a long, long time. Thanks for taking time to put your (and our) thoughts in writing.

I'd say because he enjoys it and it opens new avenues. There's always more to learn and a lot to pick up from the insight of others and there are plenty of good "others" on this board. He and I have talked about previous failed efforts a lot and felt that this model had a chance. So far we like it. There have been a few negative peeps, but that's fine too. No one really wants a plain vanilla board. I'd say, at least for now, don't worry about why, just take advantage.

IMO, the new site is much better, focusing on solid info, and avoiding personal attacks.

Thanks for taking time to put your (and our) thoughts in writing.[/QUOTE] Just a simple thanks goes along way, so thanks fezz, I remember late last year cherry picking your plays one week going 5-0, the next going 4-0. hope to learn alot on this board this year. With construction ground to a halt here in town I've been forced to start thinking about having to do something else and handicapping is something I really enjoy, I love sports so any angles you have throw them out. mose

Right now Fezzik is the king of timing. I hope he holds off until Tues to post his CFB totals.
