Actually, going by Mdawgs history this is exactly something he WOULD do. Have you not seen all the forums he has used to bash multiple people including his own blog with a section dedicated to talking shit about others?Quote:

And... Mdawg has been Impostered multiple times. I had someone Imposter me before. They Impostered my Account by one space, it was something like Tasha 1802 and the Imposter's name was Tasha1802. They wrote disgusting Pedophilic things, and Posters were disgusted and outraged and planned to report me for things I never said. I pointed out I didn't say those disgusting things. My enemy on the board of all People said something like,"Come on, you guys know that Tasha doesn't say disgusting things like this. And besides, the Tasha saying disgusting things joined two days ago. Tasha joined 2 years ago and her name is Tasha 1802. The poster saying disgusting things is Tasha1802. It's a REALLY good impersonation of her name, but this is an Imposter Account. The other Posters saw the light and reported the Tasha 1802 Account. So I know what I'm talking about when I saw I feel Mdawg is being Impostered on Moses's obituary wall.Quote:

BBB posted again at WoV.
Been awhile.
Anyone still reading WoV? Some funny shit going on there.
Open revolts now with numerous members calling out Mdog, whose story changes almost daily now.
Mdog openly demanding that mods suspend this one and that one, even setting the number of days.
So far no suspensions, but the mods are in disarray, constantly saying they will discuss it among themselves.
Besides Mdog's baloney, there is Evenbob's thread claiming he can hit 80% at roulette.
There is a new roulette system thread by Jacksparrow.
And several other "system" discussions
Shackleford is no where to be found. All he is interested in now is the Wordle thread.
Honestly the single best thing on that forum now is Alan posting up about his $15 free play every week.
What a shame!

Someone recently mentioned basically the same suggestion and it was responded too.
That place is a laugh riot. The best part are the fools trying to convince idiots like EB and MD that they're wrong.Quote:

There is a big difference in those 2 clowns. Evenbob is clearly funning / playing/ trolling everyone. He doesn't believe the things he is saying. I have no idea what it is about, I guess needing / wanting attention in his later life as he sits home doing nothing.Quote:

And from Day 1, Mdog has attacked, lied about, started threads about (on other forums) every single person that expresses any doubt in his story and claims. And people aren't expressing doubt as a means to attack him personally. It is about the math. And as time has gone on, this Mdog has gotten nastier and nastier with his attacks and bullying, mostly on other forums, but now he can't even contain himself at WoV. It is literally the Rob Singer play book. We have all seen it before. Can't answer legitimate challenges about claims that defy math and you attack someone for this or that....things that have zero to do with any claims. (today it was Poker Grinder being a bigger type person)
Not only do these people like Singer and Mdog expose themselves when they start this type of bullying, just because someone doubts their claims, but they then begin to alter their claims. Happens every time. Statements that completely conflict earlier statements and claims, like "I am about even" after 7 months of posting wins totaling 700k. :rolleyes:
Now after years of claiming he was not doing anything to gain an advantage other than "betting into streaks" and some silly belief he pushed that having a large BR allows a player to overcome negative expectation, this nutjob Mdog has flipped on a dime and now claims to be playing with an advantage of knowing at least one card every shoe, presumably by hole carding.
Now JBJB, you are the known hole-carder here, and you never let us forget it, so let me ask you a question. I try not to draw too much attention to my play. Give up playing rated and just a whole array of things designed to minimize attention. I would guess you and your team do likewise. A guy playing higher limits, and playing the higher limit room and private tables, playing rated getting all the comps he can, including tickets to sporting events, who stays in comped suites for months at a time, is certainly pretty known to casino personnel.
So here is the question: such a known player betting whatever his smaller amount is, $1000, $2000, who suddenly jumps to a much, much larger wager of $10, 15, 20 thousand (because he knows the card coming out), and the casinos, pit and surveillance personnel in the high limit area, hawking his play, have no clue what is going on? Is THAT the way it works?
That is what this Mdog would now have everyone believe. Now that he has changed his story as these guys always do.
But the big tell is the changing of the story and claims and the escalating nastiness towards anyone that expresses any doubt. Rob Singer all over again.
MD is completely full of shit!
I see that douchedawg got tossed out of Romper Room for a few days for bullying Poker Grinder.
Funny to see that jerkoff get hoisted on his own petard, with him always whining to the mods about perceived insults, then insisting they be suspended.
Memo to douchedawg: Go fuck yourself you worthless tick infested dog.
Where ever Wizard is these days, you can bet his message inbox is filling up with dog doo. ;)
Been busy the past month or so, finally making a living again, so I haven't had as much time for all this internet "fun", but taking a look over at WoV, I see our friend Mdawg is now 21 days into a new trip. One day he reported 2 sessions, so 22 sessions and adding up his reports, he is ahead $259,100. That is just for this last 3 week trip. ;)
At least unlike last year where he reported winning 52 out of 54 days at least he has a couple small losing days mixed in this time. But still we are to belive $259k won in 21 days playing rated, and the casinos just don't care. He is the best they have ever seen! And they comp him a highend suite on top of it...no questions asked. ;) Great stuff!
Now there is one change to the Mdawg...."story". He NOW claims to be doing something that gives him an advantage, at least for a hand or two every shoe, where as last year he denied that and was claiming "betting into hot streaks". Sounds like he is now suggesting hole carding, although not sure why it would be only a hand or two. Maybe some sort of card steering technique? Anyway, just imagine, he is playing hand after hand at whatever his regular bet is and then presto, he jumps to a much bigger bet for a single hand and wins that hand almost every time. I am sure the pit and surveillance crew would find nothing suspicious about that.
Anyway, great story, Mdog...keep it coming! :cool:
Now there is one other change at WoV, related to this. The guy who goes by Wizard, Michael Shackleford, announced last week, that he intends to place a disclaimer on the forum, stating something to the effect that the forum emphasizes, "free speech", over well I guess math and reality. Not a surprise really as WoV has completely transformed from the math based forum that made Shackleford his name, reputation, and a huge payday when he sold it, to NOW it is nothing but ridiculous claim after ridiculous claim, by Mdog, EvenBob, claiming to win 80% of his roulette bets, and now even more system players flooding the forum with their claims. What a forum!
Related or unrelated (you figure it out), one of the moderators, Oncedear, who for a long time, stood by the math of gambling, calling out all this BS, even after Shackleford abandoned the math, that he made his reputation and payday on, has "resigned" as a moderator. I know for a fact from private conversations, that Oncedear has had a problem with BS type forum that WoV has now become.
You put up a good fight Oncedear, but Shackleford seems determined to have WoV be an extension of the youtube gambling area, with all the scamming and BS claims.
A couple more things:
About this most recent $259k winnings over the last 3 weeks. least not forget last year, when this guy posted report after report for 7 solid months, totaling winnings of 500K, and then in one sentence that all disappeared when he wrote "additionally Wizard and I went over my records, and I am about even". ;) So come tomorrow or next week, that $259k...who knows???
I also want to point out the big tell of all these guys. The changing story and storyline. Exactly like Singer, this guy's story changes frequently now. Not playing with an advantage and betting into hot streaks. At one time he claimed loss rebates (although that is NOT how loss rebates work). Now he is claiming some sort of advantage, although he won't say what. And mind you if he was playing with some advantage like he is now suggesting, I wouldn't blame him for not sharing. BUT, if that was the case, he wouldn't be posting any of this great adventure. It is and has always been nonsense..... A story.
Always changing! Anyone remember the "mansion" purchased in Las Vega, last year, never to have been mentioned again?
Now, you KJ haters and I guess gay haters (many the same), can say what you want about me....and you have! :rolleyes: But my story has not changed one bit in 16 years that I have shared my experiences. There may be things I am unable to share, or unwilling to share, or unable to share in real time, but nothing ever changes from something I have claimed last year, 5 years or 10 years ago.
But anyway, who doesn't enjoy a good "story". Keep it going, Mdog. Lots of views and that seems to be what really matters to you. (and that right there should tell anyone all they need to know).
One thing I will say for Shackleford. That "free speech disclaimer" announcement....he didn't announce that in some forum news thread, and he didn't start a thread for that announcement, he announced that right in the Mdog adventure thread, so people would know just what he was talking about. For THAT, I gotta give him kudos. :cool:
^^ That bozo Rusty Shackleford doesn't deserve credit for anything! This is a great opportunity for Dunce Dear, to come moderate this forum. Come to think of it, we don't need a dictator over here :) BBB, OD, Flash Gordon and Herr Dieter need not apply !
Oncedear resigned yesterday and after being a hard working WOV Admin, he only got TWO pages. That seems like a punch in the face to only get TWO pages after being a Member for 8 years and an Admin for 5. Reminds me of the time a hard working Walgreens Member for about 35 years in the same spot, transferred and didn't even get a goodbye party. Sad.
Aceside on WoV:
"There are no other ways, as far as I know. I mean legal ways."
Considering the stupidity of him over on BJTF, he's got a lot to learn about legal advantage play.

Yes, apparently so. How awkward and embarrassing. The guy got caught making up stories. He was shunned, shamed, and banned. Yet he can't stay away.Quote:

In other news over at WoV, the great Mdog has now taken to telling everyone what the weather is in Las Vegas everyday. Today he did so in multiple threads. Save me opening the sliding door to the balcony and seeing for myself each morning. :rolleyes:
At least something useful from that stupid Fantasy adventure thread.
Alan still beating the "APs don't make money" drum.
Alan:
1) Loves gambling and being in a casino more than anything in the world
2) Has cunts like darkoz spell out in explicit detail how to game mail for huge profit
3) Is too stupid to understand
4) Decides that since he's too stupid to understand that it doesn't exist
5) But thinks winning for years on end at the retarded game of baccarat is totally doable
Never change Alan. Stay broke.
Alan pities those without 401ks.
Yes, now Alan is harping on the "secret AP decoder ring". When he thinks he has come up with something clever, he mentions it multiple times as he has done with this decoder ring comment. But the truth is that it is just another example of Alan's contempt for AP's, who make money, where he doesn't. He just can't hide that contempt. None of the anti-AP folks can.Quote:

And some AP's have bent over backwards to help Alan see the light. More so than I have seen for anyone else (which means others must feel sorry for him also). And Alan just refuses.
For you horseracing enthusiasts, Alan is the horse in the starting gate that when the gate opens, the horse "refuses". He just stands there. I guess the other analogy would be the old you can lead a horse to water, but can't make him drink. Hum....I guess I am having a horse day today. :rolleyes: One more: when it comes to casino gambling, Alan is a horse's ass.

I'm not sure what the problem is exactly, but it must fall into either (1) having lost so much money that he just can't grasp that some people have not or (2) a kind of intellectual arrogance -- if he can't do it, nobody can. Both options seem ridiculous, as certainly Alan can't be so invested in his losses that they overwhelm his judgement. And he knows he's not the expert on everything. If journalism teaches you anything, it's that.
KewlJ was witness to the whole "package" ordeal. I sent Alan copies of standings from years of "Tipsters or Gypsters?" published in Las Vegas, copies of pages from Playbook newsletter (distributed nationally on newsstands for decades) with my ads and records, copies of interviews I'd done published in regular newspapers, published op-eds I'd written regarding gambling, a copy of a paper I presented at the National Conference on Gambling and Risk-Taking, an article published in The Humanist, all stuff that couldn't be faked and could all be verified with a couple of phone calls. He wanted no part of it.
That "tracking two tables" with KewlJ was the worst of irrationality, though. I used to be able to watch six or more football games simultaneously and keep ballpark stats in my head for every game and know down-and-distance for every game without any graphics. Looking back, that's seems much more difficult than tracking two tables.
One last note. I never really clean out my mailbox here much, so I stumbled onto an old PM to Alan. It's still here. About six/seven years ago (I'd have to check which), I won something called the Race to the Super Bowl at an offshore. The prize was 25K in wagers on the SB. I purposefully (I know, I was a bad, sarcastic boy) posted that I was thinking about betting $25-$35 on the SB and would appreciate anyone's ideas on what to take. I "accidentally" skipped the K after the 25 and 35.
Well, of course, as planned, Singer chimed in with what a cheap penny ante fake I was to solicit advice for $25 - $35 in wagers. I then said, "Um, I forgot the K." Singer refused to believe it.
What he didn't know was that I had sent Alan a link to the splash page from the offshore announcing that I had won. Alan suggested I post the link in this forum. I said, no, I'm not gonna do that. Let people think what they want. But if he wanted to do it, and set Singer straight, he could do it. Well, he didn't do it.
I think it's the losses. If it's a fait accompli that gambling in a casino comes with heavy losses then he can mentally write off the heavy losses as the price of entertainment. The thought that he could have walked a different path, spent just as much time in his favorite environment, and made money instead of torching it is just too much for him to mentally bear.
He seems to be fine with the thought of a big bettor magically crushing the inherent house edge though. Maybe he likes the fantasy of "I would have won if I just had more money" because he can just shrug off the fact that he wasn't born a millionaire. It also let's him stick it to the APs in his mind because he just can't fathom that any of them are self made millionaires.
Oh Alan, if you only you knew ...
I don't know that Alan was a fine journalist. He says he was. Interviewed Presidents and Queens and all that. Maybe others have witnessed Alan as a journalist/reporter, but I really haven't, not that I want to. I did see a couple minutes of one of his informercials and personally I am not impressed with that crap. If a company is paying you to review their product that is not real journalism. Anyway, moving on.Quote:

As for tracking two tables, when conditions are right to do so: This is probably my biggest regret of anything I have shared about what I do. It is something that numerous other professional level players have employed but was never mentioned much. I forget why I mentioned it, I think as an example of something that can improve results dramatically. And when challenged, I took the stupid step to explain, just how I do it, in detail, right down to where to sit. That could have come back to haunt me. It didn't, but it could have.
Opportunities for this technique are now greatly reduced, not because I mentioned it, just because of circumstances of fewer and fewer real blackjack tables, replaced by all kinds of new games with higher house edge. Post covid (and I think that just happened to be the timing) more casinos have gone to electronic versions of blackjack, including the stadium type set up, replacing the lower limit tables in the pit. Fewer BJ tables equals less opportunity for this technique.
Part of my mistake was due to that I had never before encountered anti-AP haters and deniers like Alan and Rob before. It was my nature to think they didn't understand and try to explain it, but in reality, they didn't want to understand, and nothing said would make a difference. It was like trying to tell a flat-earther, that the earth isn't flat, and they won't fall off.
See this plays right into the Mdawg narrative, that pisses me off so much. Early on Mdawg denied doing anything that gave him an advantage and implied that because he had a large bankroll, that alone was able to overcome the negative EV, house advantage. This is the general thought process and false narrative of the progressive wagering crowd.Quote:

So I complained to Shackleford and Mikes response to me was "that if he had a large bankroll, he too could register many small wins before a much larger loss came along, wiping everything out". I was dumbfounded. Of course! That is the way a progression works. But Mike was using this as justification for allowing this false narrative that this was a winning "system", which in turn could tend to harm other players (contradictory to what he stated was the purpose of his forum).
Singer's whole deal started with Progression wagering claims also, before he eventually stole a real claim by Nestor and Kane.
If no one stands up and say No that is not the way it works, you get people like Alan and many others believing it. I know a lot of AP's don't care. the more losing players, the better for us. But come on the math has to matter.

A rather unseemly lust for recognition I'd venture.
Or conversely, a rather unseemly lack of cowardice regarding people being able to verify one's abilities and history. You know, the kind of unseemly lack of cowardice that leads people to not be anonymous. Having actually done verifiable stuff and all that. Consider Matthew 5:15 for those biblically inclined.Quote:

I hypothesize that a big chunk of the whole anonymity thing is generational. Now that we have a full generation brought up on internet porn (which is, by the way, the top online usage of the internet historically) and all kinds of weirdness, people cling to online anonymity because they can't handle their browser histories being attached to them in real life. Just a theory. Carry on.
P.S. This whole anonymity charade is nonsense anyway. Nobody is actually anonymous. If the feds want to know everything you've ever done, they'll get it. As we speak, my nephew is majoring in online forensics. Good career choice.
There are some really good reasons why Advantage players might want to remain anonymous and those reasons have nothing to do with the Feds, we can't get to that later.Quote:

But, let me ask you this... from an Advantage Players standpoint, one who wants to participate on online forums and social media. (Assuming one has nothing to tout, sell or promote) what benefits/good can come of using your real name in public on a forum? I can't think of any, but I can think of multiple reasons why one shouldn't.
lol @ the feds.
This whole anti-anonymous thing seems to correlate with how much one is trying to gain fame. They see no value in anonymous people because it enables trolls who mess with whatever the clout seeker's gimmick is.
Asking redietz to give one good reason why we should drop our anonymity is a good approach. Redietz?
I just dealt with seedvalue trying to go back from months of posts so he could try to dox me or some shit so I'd stop trolling him. Thats is its own thing but suffice to say there is little positive putting your name out there.
That being said if I had to guess whether smurgerburger or redietz was more successful at gambling I'd bet hrmmm 90% of my life roll on smurgerburger.

I hypothesize that a big chunk of the whole anonymity thing is generational. Now that we have a full generation brought up on internet porn (which is, by the way, the top online usage of the internet historically) and all kinds of weirdness, people cling to online anonymity because they can't handle their browser histories being attached to them in real life. Just a theory. Carry on.
P.S. This whole anonymity charade is nonsense anyway. Nobody is actually anonymous. If the feds want to know everything you've ever done, they'll get it. As we speak, my nephew is majoring in online forensics. Good career choice.
This is really what you're going for? Your willingness (or eagerness I suspect) to send reams of information documenting your handicapping abilities to some degenerate ex-journalist is a mark of your courage?
Is it possible that vanity is a more plausible motive here? Might that not also explain your use of this forum as an extended blog, where you remind all passers by of your latest literary and handicapping accomplishments, just in case they are too busy to check your actual blog?
You had to bring up the blog that I never read or clicked on?Quote:

Good thing he seems to be able to take all things in stride from comments about his wife to slurping noodles.
Although he did bring up us calling him Red just recently which makes me wonder if it does bother him sometimes.
Sticks and Stones...
I remember when he swore off this forum and stopped posting for a few months.
Defecting to WoV till Mike seemed to not like him, which seemed strange.
Probably jealous of redietz, in some odd way.
Let's not go back to those dark days.

Quick comment on the Feds. If one is moving large amounts of money online and in casinos it’s not out of the realm of possibility for federal authorities to look into you. Casinos keep records of all the cash buy ins you make since the first day you walked into the casino. I have first hand knowledge of cards being shut off for running to much cash through certain types of games. I also still have a lifetime ban from western union and money gram from my online poker days.
If you were using Western Union please tell me you ruined casino-on-net's roulette promo. Just before my time sadly.
I played that.Quote:

With the 007 promo I assumed the bonus pay winnings would be added instantly, sadly, I didn't know the extra payouts were in the form of bonuses to be given 24 hours later. Heck, no one even knew if casino-on-net was to really be trusted (The Gaming Club in the 90's definitely had gaffed BJ).
You couldn't deposit more during the 007 promotion (no time even if you could)
Now I'm in a situation where I couldn't ramp up my wagers as I was winning bonus money. Obviously, your BR would eventually dwindle down to zero while having 10 of thousands in pending bonuses. FYI you had to wager the bonus money over 1x. That took a few days playing baccarat.
I didn't realize the promo came up at the last minute, nor that it was paid in bonus money. WU limits were pretty low regardless, weren't they?
This was before my time. I started in right when casinos were telling Norway to get fucked.
Now that twat Alan thinks there are no must hit standalone progressives. Then he changed it to none over $50. Then he changed it to none over $500. Then he changed it to none over $10,000.
Hey Alan, you're a fucking moron. Try google asshole.

Completely hilarious reading those last 3 pages of that thread. He has those "card counters blinders" on, only on his case they're "craps tables blinders".Quote:

He's trolling at this point. Nobody is that retarded.
Mission brought up Rivers in Pittsburgh. That joint is a sorry waste land for slot play save for a few Hex 3s and Happy 8s.
Most casinos in populated areas are wastelands for slot play unless you're running cards. Some balding dude playing poker for 3 months straight looking to hit the BBJ is going to jump all over a 10k MH at $9750 because he's doing cards for his cousin's brother in law's family for the 4th time.Quote:

I seriously doubt anywhere near the poverty line (as in, they are well below) as there are too many of them. I tend to believe some of them are literally homeless as you get a lot of short-coin vulturing and only playing to the last hand (from the bottom) that has a multiplier.Quote:

Early afternoons on weekdays were sometimes decent for UX with corporate lunch breaks and such. Couple HL players and a few playing quarters on the main floor. You'd occasionally have nice EV finds in the high-limit room, which has five UX machines, though two only have the single-line version. I don't know if that's still the case as I found next to nothing for several consecutive visits and stopped visiting, but used to be you'd get about $50 EV for total time cost (including travel) of one hour. I was also partly going because I used to get regular small offers from PS (online casino) and you could deposit and withdraw from the cage there, but them not seeming to give me offers anymore (even though I'm not banned or anything) kind of swung the balance to almost never stopping at Rivers unless I happen to be DT or on the North Shore anyway.
Anyway, I have no doubt as to the poverty part, but I tend to think most of them are way below the line, especially with how much ($$$) EV they torch short-coining the multipliers.
This sounds a lot like a previous Alan, revision: "I only get to the office once a week". Then once every 2 weeks. Then once a month, then once every 3 months.Quote:

They are degenerate gamblers with neither the discipline, knowledge (despite participating on these forums for decades, where they should have been able to pick some of that up). These true degenerate gamblers will often say something like APing would take the enjoyment out of gambling. It is beyond me how it is enjoyable to lose month after month, year after year. I guess it is just a different mentality.
But over time, these long term, long time losing players just become really bitter with players that with a little knowledge, discipline and work, are able to win. And then you see then do and say anything and everything to try to discredit such players. THAT is Alan in a nut shell. Rob too. Rob (and others) takes it a step further with all his made up stories. To his credit Alan hasn't gone that route.
I would give you VERY good odds on that. Like 18 y.o's in a row type odds. :cool:Quote:

Okay, so, kiss my sweet ass. JK
I don't know why, but I like a conversational writing approach for those sorts of things.
Actually, let's break the whole thing down from the viewpoint of a third-rate writer (me):
Notice that we immediately establish a direct relationship with the reader by using words such as, 'You.' Even though anyone can read the post, it's almost as if I meant the post specifically for that reader. Because I am explaining my position on must-hits whilst simultaneously trying to encourage people NOT to play them unless they are really good, it's important to establish this direct link. I'm not talking to everyone; I'm talking to YOU.Quote:
That's how they can go on the big ones. Generally speaking, if they run higher than you are expecting them to hit, then you often will lose some large sum of money. The reason for that is because, let's make a really aggressive assumption and say that you're only expected to drop 15% on the reels, in terms of EV:
In the third sentence you'll notice I say, "...let's make a really aggressive assumption," you see, I'm not making an aggressive assumption by myself, nor is the reader; this is something that we are working through together.
You'll also notice the superlative, 'Really,' being used; that's going to be very important in that it indicates to the reader that this is not merely an aggressive assumption, oh no, this is a hyper aggressive assumption. In fact, if we were talking about penny denomination MH machines, this assumption would almost never be true to begin with.
We are still on this journey together, but now I am painting a picture. The reader is now in a casino and has spotted a MH machine at $9,880 and thinks, "This is awesome," but is it really the slam dunk can't lose play the reader might be thinking it is? You'll also notice that the meter, 'Looks like,' in the next sentence, and the reason it, 'Looks like,' that is because I know that there are many readers in the northeast/east part of the country that would prefer for things to look like things rather than just being what they are, for whatever reason. Although, saying it, 'Looks like,' also relates to vision, so helps us continue to paint the picture of the reader actually being in the casino.Quote:
Okay, so let's suppose you start playing one at $9880 and we will call it a $5 meter move just to keep things really simple. The machine looks like $9880.00, so suppose that it runs all the way to $9990.00 just for the heck of it. Okay, so we have done 11,000 meter moves ($55,000 coin in) before the machine actually managed to hit. If we had an expected loss on the reels of 15% of all coin-in, then we would expect to lose $8,250 on the reels, but the jackpot hit at $9,990, so we should still look $1,740 to the good, right?
After that, you will notice that WE have done 11,000 meter moves, which is my way of telling the reader that we are taking the wonderful journey to the destination of getting our teeth kicked in on a must-hit together. That's also why if WE had an expected loss, etc. This is our loss. Of course, they almost certainly had a bigger piece of the action than I did. lol
He's betting at least $5 per spin because he doesn't want to be there for 7,000 years. I wanted to reduce variance and we could just work it in shifts, but he didn't like that idea. Notice that I also gave multiple examples of different ways that the reels could go awry rather than making a generic statement such as, "Not running as expected."Quote:
The first problem is that you're probably betting at least $5 per spin if you don't want to be there for 7,000 years, so that $1,740 to the good that you think is going to happen if you run that high (and is also based on a VERY aggressive assumption, imo) is really just the difference of running a few Free Games less than expected, the average return of free games being less than expected, or even just running a few decent line pays below expected.
----
Anyway, I'm not going to break down the rest of it. I'm just bullshitting anyway. I wrote it the way I wrote it and am just justifying the way I wrote it after the fact.
However it was written, it kept you reading long enough to make it to at least 500+ words, which is more than a great many writers get out of people.
I took this picture of a linked bank of 10K Must Hits specifically because they were linked which is rare. Another thing Alan doesn't know is that team play on linked bank progressives goes back 40 years. A team would monopolize every machine in the bank. If 10K's were commonly linked today you would see teams on them when the number is ripe. According to Ray Zee, he and the late Tuna Lund had the first slot team back in the 80's.
Do you think this 10K bank is getting close to playable at 9733? (8 machines in the bank) Guess again. It's a $50 meter.

I can't remember what WU limits were.Quote:

Had they added the bonuses instantly like I and some others assumed, I would've made probably 10x-20x what I made. Hindsight is 20/20... Remember, there weren't any assurances people would actually get paid their bonus money. I was highly surprised they actually paid(Look how well that turned out for them, one of the biggest online casinos in the UK(other countries ?), and I think they do sports in the US(?). I'm confident they wouldn't have paid back losses to anyone that lost.
I was willing to take a chance and risk not getting paid since the upside was significant. But not knowing for sure they would pay, but knowing bonuses were not instant, I still probably would've only deposited 2x more than I did.
Obviously, some other people knew this information I assume someone had been playing there on some weekly bonuses and had some knowledge the casino was trustworthy, those were the guys that made hundreds of thousands each(they had to be sweating the payments).
The promo was only 2 or 3 hours long, but you could spin fairly fast and bet a healthy amount. I think the speed was comparable to IGT's stand-alone E-roullet
I have no idea where this progressive bank resets to when it hits. But my guess is 9700. The reason it because its a $50 meter. It takes $50 times 100 = $5000 to move the meter $1. The average hit would be 9850. It would take 750K (5000 X 150) to move the meter to 9850.
So 9850/750000 = 1.3%.
On regular 10K's the top progressive is worth 2.8% payback.
You make a lot of good points.Quote:

As far as gambling goes, no one is a bigger rube then Mendelson. Tasha even beats him.
The obnoxious cunt Alan Mendelson didn't even have the dignity to acknowledge that his claim that stand alone must hits of $10k+ don't exist was completely absurd.Quote:
