Fezzik calls it quits

[zengrifter]

At its best, Fezzik's site offered a glimpse of how real-world bettors working in gambling's trenches plied their trade. That remained true until the end, even if sports bettors visiting the site did have to wade through an increasing amount of useless rambling written by anonymous Internet nitwits.*

Jeff Haney on why the gaming world lost out when professional sports handicapper Fezzik decided that dealing with the message board critics wasn't worth the effort

"It's been my policy to view the Internet not as an 'information highway,' " a prescient Mike Royko once wrote, "but as an electronic asylum filled with babbling loonies."

It certainly seemed that way last week when Las Vegas professional gambler Fezzik shut down his eponymous sports betting Web site, citing his frustration with personal attacks on his online message board and a general preponderance of cyber-goofballs overrunning the site.

That was a good site but it's usefullness was limited due to the new online betting climate. I had one good year of Fezzik's place during the last NFL season. It was fun while it lasted...

Our own Edgecapper is starting a similar site, but Fezzik is a tough act to follow! zg

This has a lot of people at LVA upset. Even though he was on the free side,he would email a special pick to members only.But the site was out of control. Too many trolls and very lackadasical moderators.

I'm going to invite him here. No lackadaisical moderators at BJINFO,
bunch of jack-booted post-busters, if you ask me. zg

Ps - I was with Jeff and Fezzik the night they met. Spring 2000. zg
