Public Service Announcement
Anyone who's been at covers more than a week knows all about this guy, but it looks like there's some new posters who don't know what he is (or they're just more of his aliases pumping himself up.)
Warning for new posters who don't know him.
Before the current season, his last college basketball picks here were in March. He came in here at the beginning of the postseason bragging about his fake 70% in last year's tournament.
Five or six forum members posted his real record and called him out for lying. Then he bragged about how much his picks were going to win in this year's tournament.
But... he didn't even make it to day one of March Madness. Why not?
Because he was 1-11 in his last 12 picks leading up to Madness.
Yup, 1-11, just .08% in his last dozen picks, picks that were all "Monster Plays" and "Guaranteed Winners", and "Can't Miss!" and "Bet your House" etc etc etc. And he disappeared before the tournament even started.
Some Fizbo classics:
He opened the NCAA season two years ago with 13 straight losing weeks but bragged all the way how his bookies were going to shut him off because he's winning so much.
Proclaimed himself the greatest capper ever at Covers and to prove it he started a new thread for his Top Ten Best Bets Only, guaranteeing he would show everyone here how easy it was for him to hit 70%.
The thread disappeared after he went 1-5 in his first six picks.
Three or four times each year he says he's going to keep a record just to prove he's not the loser everyone warns other posters about. The record keeping usually lasts 2 to 3 days at most before he stops because the losses pile up.
Gives out five picks, the first four lose, the fifth wins and he bumps his post to the top bragging "Winner!" w/out mentioning all the four losers already in.
Uses at least two to three different aliases including "It's all a dream" who showed up the day after Fizbo promised his guaranteed pick would win or he'd stop posting (it lost of course.) Not conjecture, it's a fact, he's the same guy that promised the first four posters that replied in his thread that hed pay them $1,000 if his "Guaranteed Lick" pick lost. It lost, of course, and stopped using that ID for six months hoping people would forget.
One Saturday he started out betting $100 units, lost as usual, upped his betting unit to $500, then $1000 per game. Down $12,000 with only one game left on the card he said it was his best bet of the day and was betting enough to win all his losses back and finish the day with a profit. The pick lost (of course.)
It would have been a $25,000 loss on the day except for the fact that he's not a real bettor, he has a well-established, years-long reputation of being an air bettor playing with Monopoly money.
Fake bets, fake money. Documented 40%'er, and even worse on his "Guaranteed Locks."
EVERYBODY who bets will win once in a while, even the worst bettors like this guy. When he has a few rare wins don't let it fool you into thinking he can win. He's one of if not the worst handicappers at this or any other forum.
But don't take my word for it. Do your research use the search button and go look over his history read what other posters tell you about him. And then, run away, run far run fast or you WILL lose your money
