Best Contest Player I Have Ever Seen

jjgold · Dec 8, 2004

I would say Fishhead, I have had many run ins with this guy on tha board about video poker and stuff but look at leaderboards with contests and he is always around the top and in postion to win, this is going on now like 3-4 years too. Pay attention to his picks as they hit a pretty high percentage.

Do you guys know of other great contest players?? So many enter so I would say hard to always bee around the leaderboards like Fish.

Any strategies?? He is doing something right in these things.

Agreed.

I am amazed at the baseball contests, which are so much of a grind and he is always at the top of the leaderboard.

I am not a contest guy because I forget and am unorganized to be effective- but Fish is a grinder and well disciplined.

He probably makes more in contest than I do in my job.

You can never miss days with contests, I usually last 2 weeks and quit and figure more value running down the street tand taking shots with lottery numbers

Baseball is some grind too, every day

Contest players are unique

Fishhead how much have you made playing over the years??

Over 25K -150
Under 25k +140

Well JJ, since SKYBOOK paid me $15,000 for winning a single contest 3 years ago, i would suggest you adjust your line. :think1:

Mr.Jones · Dec 8, 2004

I have done fairly well in the very few contestsI have entered. Played in my very first one just last year here [the Royal/RX NBA contest] and won it. Have collected in both the Cris and Bowmans NFL contests already this year and still have an outside shot at the ten dimes in the Cris contest.

That being said I am merely Robin to the true contest Batman...our own Fishhead.

By the way in the spirit of the thing let me riddle you this. A month or so ago I stood and had a conversation with both Fishhead and JJGold but there were only two people there and I was one of them. Holy fact batposters!!! How could this be?

betmonkey and Guy Smiley are 2 of the best contest players we have here IMO

Fish doesn't need a ghost to tell him he's the greatest .... He's already a legend in his own mind ...

No truth to any rumour gentlemen. I recently had the pleasure of chatting with Fishhead outside of a watering hole while he put through a call to JJ and I then got a chance to speak to Mr. Gold.

All in fun here except that I have nothing but the highest respect for Fishfry's
handicapping abilities. Everyone on this forum should have the opportunity to sit down with Fish and have a drink or two. Priceless experience for sure. Never gets old.

Fishhead · Dec 8, 2004

MR JONES-

Have misplaced your phone number.

Can you please give me a call so i can see your number..........thanks.

I will call you then tonight after 9pm

THANKS

TheGeneral+ · Dec 8, 2004

Without question, Fishhead is one of the most knowledgeable sports bettors and casino guys I have ever spoken to. I hate to feed his ego

, but facts are facts. :smoker2:

jjgold · Dec 8, 2004

Pete I do not even like the guy but I do give praise when deserved.

He is an arrogrant prick but he does make money and lots of it gambling

TheGeneral+ · Dec 8, 2004

I don't really care for him either JJ, but since he is a co-worker, I try and get along. :lol:

Fishhead · Dec 8, 2004

Buy me a couple beers and I mellow out..........buy me 10-20 and I turn into the arrogant prick again...........buy me 21 or more and you can proceed to wheel me to my house/hotel room.

:drink:

Without question Fishhead is the slickest gambler I know... Different kind of gambler...

They use to say Earnhardt could see the wind/draft...Fish is a gambler who see's things most don't even no exist...

He doesn't even have to know a teams players/personel to find value, IMO he knows more about gambling than any poster on this site....Not sports but GAMBLING!
