    Jim Fiest 2w-5l

    In NFL week 1. Found on Vegas Insider. That's why I prefer to only use computer picks. May be slightly better than flipping a coin, but I thought this Fiest guy was suppossed to be something special..Used to have his own Saturday tv show back in the day.

    I don't follow any of the named handicappers, but like to read how they say they did. Normally you don't see figures that bad listed, but I stumbled across the Vegas Insider on google .

    I bought one season package {2006} from Dave Cokin. Results were about 50 %. From then on I've chosen to either live or die with my own choices. Lesson learned.

    I remember back in the 90's one of my buddies bought Ty Gaston. When I heard he called his plays code zebra and white envelopes I knew better and I was in my 20's.

    Not a handicapper. More like a car salesman/carnival barker.

    I'm strictly a stats handicapper (numbers-scores-etc). I do find it interesting, that the real old names that I recall from my youth are STILL in business and Fiest is the name I most recall. So they must do okay still selling picks. It's beyond amazing in this day and age... I mean there's IBM Watson and others I guess that can blow them away. But fun to read if FREE.

    He used to bet with me as line and oddsmaker at the old SANDS
    I would give him an extra half point every game(illegal, but bosses orders), he still got CREMATED weekly
    10k per game if recall correctly

    I worked for Jim Feist years ago. You would be more accurate picking games flipping a coin.

    I used Jim F in the 90s. He was about 50%.

    I've received a few free Bet4profit football picks this year. They have been V. Good.
