Personally, I agree with the "smoke and mirrors" comment. One who plays -400 wagers will likely win 2 out of 3 of his bets, but will lose money in the long run. Even if you want to consider FH a really good and smart capper, it wasn't his capping skills or jealousy by others that did him in. It was his arrogant, cocky, and obnoxious attitude that did so.
Plus, this guy is going tout and building himself up for the newbies. OMT, as well as the other moderators, have a duty in here to protect inexperienced bettors from falling for tout scams. This is why therx has a good reputation. Why do I think FH is going tout? Here is a good example of his antics...Check it, I have never posted in any of Fat Harry's threads until HE posted this in my "double the bank" thread in the MLB forum:

"Hookem Horns - "getting a little tricky?" Not sure I agree or understand that, however, I have been beating baseball for many years, and when I departed Vegas, I was banned from wagering in 8 sportsbooks. I suggest you look at my record in the forum standings. The stats (kept by JOH) don't lie, and for me, I treat wagering like a business. I'm not a degenerate. You speak of quadrupeling the bankroll. I don't quite get that. Sports betting goes on everyday of every year. Maybe you are just a recreational player, with theories that seem to make no sense. My theory is, if you get up every morning and can afford to play, and you never have to borrow money to do so, and you live comfortably from your yearly profits from wagering as I do, you don't need tout services, systems, theories, etc. You are either a successful handicapper who makes a good living picking many more winners than losers, or you are just fooling yourself. Good luck to you and to all who follow my baseball selections in the forum. I am in first place and will finish in first, not only in baseball, but in college and pro football as well. Basketball is a topic for another day. Its the toughest of all sports. As I said, I'm looking for nothing and want no glory. I enjoy helping people win who simply have no clue as to what they are doing. They win occaisionally, but end up losing in the long run. There are not many of "us" around. But we do exist and we do win over the long haul every year. Again, good luck!"
Where in the hell did this come from?? This rant shows it is obvious he is building himself up to eventually go tout. Think about it, why is he targeting me for criticism when (1) I am having a very successful season, and (2) I have never bashed or challenged him, nor even posted in any of his threads. Yet he comes into mine and criticizes me and builds himself up to remind us all he is #1 and nobody comes close. It's almost like he is attempting to put a false light on what he considers to be his competition. Why? Because IF he is clearly the best, then when TOUT time comes around he will have that #1 reputation and get a ton of unknowing clients.
In my opinion, FH maybe a decent capper but he is definitely an asshole who is making an attempt to go tout. He would have probably been successful in doing that too if he just could've kept his mouth shut. Any bashing he received was well deserved.
