Fezzik picked Seattle and Cowheard picked the Pats to win by 14-17 points.

Cowherd is about as reliable as flipping a coin and is at best entertaining
.
At least Fezzik knows sports betting.

I thought Brandon Lang held that title.

Fezzik is a "nuts and bolts" type guy, breaks down the game with angles on both sides. Maybe you mean he's boring?

I followed Fezzik for a couple years, and I don't mind listening to him, but the only time I ever made anything with his advice was to fade him, or occasionally he would hit a prop.

Not at all, but take a closer look at the numbers. NBA is YTD, Best Bets is lifetime, NFL is since 12/1. He doesn't list his record from start to finish in any season. Anyone can take a snapshot of a particular point in the season, and if you place enough wagers your going to hit a hot streak. When I subscribe to a service I want to play the whole season and come out ahead. You will notice he doesn't list his NBA or NFL record for the full season. Why do you think that is? Its because you have to place 300 bets to finish up 3 units for the season at best. I'm not really impressed with that.
I remember him doing so poorly at the end of the NBA season last year that he stopped playing those games and went to the WNBA during the playoffs.
Hey its a free country, if you want to blindly follow this guy, then have at it, but don't say you weren't forewarned.

I don't blindly follow anyone. But with all the lunatic touts out there, Fezzik seems like a strange target to attack.

True. There are certainly easier targets.

Dude, I'm just pointing out he lost both the side and the total like I said he would.
Just another tout like all the rest, but with a higher profile.

If you think Fezzik is all that, than sign up and reap the alleged benefits. I really could care less.
Don't make me sound the shill alarm.

You're the one that started the Fezzik parade. I'm just saying I don't understand your obsession with him.

If Fezzik was all that people are making him out to be he wouldn't be working as a tout for Pregame advertising hot streaks. I have nothing against him either- I think we may be just pointing out what should be obvious.
"What Is- Is, What Isn't- Isn't." Go with: "What Is."

Thing with Fezzik, he made his name as a high profile contest warrior. Can't deny him that. So, he knows his stuff. As far as the picks, even if he gave winners over the long run, the average punter will manage their bankroll so badly that they'll still lose with winning plays. I think that's what we're seeing here. Someone took a short term trip with his plays, managed it badly and now is sour about it. That said, never buy picks, if you are that dense that you can't handicap games and manage BR by yourself, you deserve whatever losing picks you buy.

Fezzzik won the SuperContest when it was much smaller and the competition was not quite as strong as it is now. You can't deny the accomplishment of those wins but he really hasn't done much since his last win. If he was as strong as many believe- he would have a more consistently high winning rate (IMO). He's probably a lot better than most but not quite as good as the mythology surrounding his name.

He's definitely cashing in on his name and fame. One problem with selling picks is needing to come up with picks on a daily basis. Some days there just isn't a play worth posting, but not really an option when you have to churn them out. I think his SB pick was a victim of that, he pretty much had to take a side because it's the SB, but there probably wasn't a ton of value on either side there.

Im always suspicious when someone comes out guns blazing to defend a tout. They basically try to discredit the poster who they don't know, and in your case defend someone's record that you have admittedly never used and have no idea what their actual record may be. It is obvious you have some affiliation with pregame or Fezzik himself, because no sane person who has had access to his picks could call him anything but ordinary.
