Default In 2003 Do You Remember Fishhead Was The Nations Number 1 Handicapper?

I do, he was hitting everything in site and winning lots of big contests, so hard though to stay on top in sports betting. I think he tailed off somewhat in 2004-2006.

It would be great to hear fishhead talk about his days scalping when it was still really possible to make alot of money.I remember reading fishhead from years back at the rx and I know he made a ton scalping at one time and he really is a wealth of knowledge in alot of those areas

I know Nicky and Fishhead did very well, I bet JJ too made loads of money in the early 2000's.

Huh?

I'm absolutely certain that in '03 Stu Feiner was the Nation's Number 1 Handicapper.

If memory serves, Jim Feist was a close runnerup.

Don't forget that Kelso Sturgeon and Jim Hurley are always in the mix for the title.

Agree. And, Wayne Root can never be counted out.

Fishhead was a money machine years ago, his worst move was going to Florida as it gradually wore him down.

Fish was shilling on theRX forum every day for years which I am pretty sure included 2003.

A little twisty information for players = a few dollars for Fishhead. That doesn't strike me as a big-time operator but maybe that's just me.

What are we doing now? Building up to a tout operation?

True indeed..........did the gig for about 10 months many moons ago in Las Vegas.

Fun job, but not worth the one scary ride per day.

The majority of LV taxi drivers are very good people........

In Fishhead's prime he was compared to Mike Warren, he was that known. We are lucky he posts here, listen and learn from him.
