How is this blowing his own horn ?

This is simply a statement of fact. If he reminded people of this on a daily basis I would understand your point.

I agree, I don't read anything out of line with any of that, we're on a gambling forum. If you want to help others it probably is a good thing to let folks know this ain't your first rodeo. I appreciate when others share stuff like that with me about their background. The fact he can be questioned over 14 straight winning seasons might be the most impressive thing of them all....

True fact folks, KISS1 is a true HERO of mine on the RX forum.........as much as anyone.

The guy is the one of the greatest and if you should ever make an RX bash, make sure you meet the KISS1

One of the few regrets that I have about moving from Vegas is the good times that Kiss and myself could have undoubtedly had browsing the casinos........with the SANTE FE probably being on the top of the list.

Another plus with Kiss1, its always a plus to have SECURITY on your side in a casino................learned that early on in Vegas.

He's not doing it on a daily basis, but pretty damn close...

You wanna poster that gives out WAY more WINNERS than losers ...........and on a very consistant basis in many sports.............LOOK NO FURTHER than McIRISH.

He is one of the very few on this forum whos picks I ACTUALLY play myself...........nuff said.

Thanks for all that you have done and provided for me sirrrrrrrrrrrr over the years that I have known you.

Very hard to repay you, but will think of something.

Leave me out of this one Fisher!!! Don't try to get me involved with you wiseguys, I get DESTROYED, ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED on a regular basis. In fact right now I am down in several sports up in the tracker forum. Don't deflect on to me, you are the real deal and should be proud of it sir.

BTW I'd be interested to see where he's posting about his background "every day" or close to it? I rarely see anything of the such, and when it is it's usually in a pick forum for a different sport than where he has mentioned it the time before. I could be wrong but someone point it out to me if this is done so often.

Fish is one of the most humble guys you will ever meet in real life, sometimes that transition may fade or become distorted when applied over the net but trust me he wants to help us all. One of the biggest, if not the biggest asset of the RX in my opinion.

 

[billhill999]

Fish is the most well rounded capper on this forum. No doubt.

Been here since June, Fish knows his shit.
Kojak is good also, but Fish can dish it.

I'm no longer working in Casino Security. Making next to no money was something I couldn't do for long. I'm not ashamed of the year I spent as a report writer at Wynn and at NYNY. I was offered a job in the Sportsbook at Sante Fe Station but working for $9.25 and hour and whoring for tips is not my thing either. I had to get out of Casino's and back into Property/Community Management, 20 years in the profession in California with a developer.

I've been known to tip a few at "The Lodge" near Tenaya and Ann, I'm sure you're practically a legend in there.

Very hard for McIrish to "repay" from what I've read as well.

Could be...top 10 for sure.

 

[GotTheLife]

I'm new to this forum. Tryiing to sort out who knows their stuff, and who doesn't. (I sure don't). I'm glad I read this thread. Congratulations and keep up the good work. I'll be reading what you guys have to say.

I've noticed Fish likes to quit while up no matter what point in the season...several of those were + less than one unit and for some reason just quit to keep the streak alive I guess.

I assume this is his strategy. I'd like to see him play an entire year and then talk about a streak .

:thumbsup:

I have the utmost respect for Fish and think he is probably the sharpest person on the entire forum, but I too have noticed this...

I respect fish, appreciate his contributions to the forum and honestly like him as a person.

A long term statistically signifigant amount of plays graded at a fair number of units per play is the only way to judge one's handicapping prose.

Quiting after a handful of plays to protect a "winning" record is no judge of one's skills.

IMHO from what I've observed over my many years here is that fish is a very slightly above average capper and that combined with whoring, middleing, scalping and posting he manages to make a reasonable living.

Sorry if I'm not slobbing his cobb after the winning post of a NFL two team teaser you had to double click to find last week.

Big fuggin deal, I'm 17-7 in the pick two but my intials are not AA or FH.

It's not on the shelf with his portrait of Old Man Ted but very near the autographed photo of Ace Ace.

seriously ? I just always thought he was just the luckiest Fuck in the betting world....when you meet the guy in person you get the impression that he can not rub to sticks together correctly... hmmmm go figure


great job Fishstremski

 

[billsfan]

Fishhead is very sharp in terms of gambling.

More than most will ever know.

He has posted his "credentials" at least 5 times including 3 times in the NFL forum in the last couple of months. If that's not "blowing your own horn", I don't know what it is. :aktion033

It's a shame more gamblers/TOUTS don't blow their own horn on truths.

Perhaps they don't have any instruments......

I LOVE INDIVIDUALS TO TELL ME THEIR STRENGTHS and WEAKNESSES as a gambler..............because I want to learn from them.

Why anyone would EVER be upset at somebody discussing their past is beyond me.........if they are willing to share.
