Fezzik vs Ed Salmons at the Stardust Invitational

[Railbird]

Fezzik is far from sharp, guy is a simpleton handicapper, has zero feel for the game.


How do these guys get in the contest? John Kelly picks these guys as a favor because they feel in for airtime at kdwn.

 

[Schouest]

How many entries did he buy ???

4/5 ????

I guess one was for picks, 1 for fades ??

And the others a combination of both ???

 

[GREENHEAD]

Many people are making jokes about this Fezzik guys record, but I can tell you not many people will take bets from him - this guy
will grind you into the ground - longterm he will beat you.

[ChuckSims]

One winner out of seven picks and Fezzik moves on to the semi-finals in the Stardust Invitational.

Note: When Fezzik released his 7 picks, he guaranteed he would have more winners than losers or refuse an invitation for next years contest.

Chucky:


Are you getting satisfaction out of Fezzik having a rough year?

 

[cattlerustler]

Greenhead - i repeat you would have no chance against the guy - he would mow you down, it would not be funny after a while.......

 

[ChuckSims]

cattlerustler, are you aware of the Fezzik Challenge? Fezzik is the one getting mowed down.

Hitman26, just reporting the facts.

 

[GREENHEAD]

Greenhead - i repeat you would have no chance against the guy - he would mow you down, it would not be funny after a while.......

Cattlerustler: I'm very proud of you being a big Fezzik fan.But I know many,many books that would take his action.If you need help E-mail me but remember MONEY UP FRONT.I dont think he has much after the ASS kicking hes taken.GREENHEAD

 

[InsideThePylons]

Greenhead,

I know you will get a big chuckle out of this quote by Fezzik concerning last
weeks NE-KC game.........

"Hated the Pats at +3. At +4, perhaps worth consideration."

Could you imagine being at the track and saying......I hate this 7-5 favorite but at 8-5 he is perhaps worth consideration? I know if I ever said that, I would jump from the press box as it was obviously time to take my dirt nap.

 

[GREENHEAD]

INSIDE,your good.Wish we could see more of you.GREENHEAD

 

[ChuckSims]

Fezzik has been exposed plain and simple. He is an advantage gambler, nothing more. As far as picking winners on his own, fuggeddaboutit.

 

[WildBill]

I don't think Fezzik would argue too much with you Chuck. This year has been terrible for anyone of his ilk, those extra points should be worth 5% but when the favorites are winning comfortably he clearly is going to suffer.

Lets face it though, being near .500 when you play mostly dogs is actually quite an achievement this year in the NFL. I am sure Fez will bounce back in the future because making plays based on math should generally do well in something like the NFL where the numbers are usually pretty sharp.

Lets face it though, being near .500 when you play mostly dogs is actually quite an achievement this year in the NFL.

It sure would be...but 41% (24-34) is not "being near .500". That is like saying a 51% capper is "nearly a 60% capper".

 

[WildBill]

I am speaking more to his record on his free pick site. I guess some of the 50% mark could be coming from his college plays.
