Speaking of, in the ploppy discussion over there.
Alan is a ploppy
Average Joe/Jill that plays and just keeps his/her trap shut is a civilian

I was surprised to see Alan rattle off several different blackjack forums in his attempt to define "ploppie". He mentioned, BJ21, Blackjackinfo, and Norms's Blackjack the Forum, which Alan labeled blackjack forum.
I have never heard Alan mention anything about blackjack or playing blackjack. Why is he on or familiar all these different blackjack forums? :confused:
Makes me wonder if my encounter with Alan when I first arrived concerning tracking two tables, wasn't really my first encounter with Alan, but rather an ambush. :rolleyes:
Easy to tell they are unlinked:
I'm a little confused on how someone who routinely drops big money on Slots and gets paid big money is considered a Ploppy and not an AP. For example, The Big Jackpot routinely plays more than many People's paychecks on just one spin and at least one person said "The Big Jackpot," is a Ploppy, not an AP and I was thinking,"How is The Big Jackpot a Ploppy? He plays $700 on one spin and gets paid like $5,000!"
Another person said something like,"The Big Jackpot played the equivalent of one year's mortgage for me in just one session! That scared the crap out of me!" :O
If The Big Jackpot is playing and winning big money, how is he considered a Ploppy? To me, a Ploppy is someone who plays .50 a bet, not someone playing $700 a spin... :/
Why do you do this to yourself? You know this post is going to draw attacks for it's stupidity and rightfully so.
Do you understand what the letters A.P. stand for? Advantage Player. That would be a player playing with an advantage. It has nothing to do with whether that player wins or loses short term like the session you are talking about. That is simply gambling and a player hitting a jackpot. That doesn't make that player an AP. It makes him a gambler who hit a jackpot.
Think about Alan. Alan is as far away from an AP as you can get. He has lost a lot of money, basically his entire worth, gambling. During that run he hit at least one, I think several, 100k royal flushes. Did those hits make him an AP? absolutely not. He went on to lose those amounts plus much, much more.
But at least you have answered the ploppy question. You Tasha are a ploppy. And the casinos love you for it. Now prepare for the onslaught of criticism, because frankly you deserve it (and I think crave it).
If he's playing a -EV game that just makes him a much bigger ploppy. The chances are, if someone is betting that type of money on a -EV game they are gonna continue that type of gambling and eventually lose a shit ton. You have a very low probability of beating a -5%-14% game over 5k spins. FYI hitting for 5k while betting $700 a spin is nothing, we are taking about 7 spins. that 5k can be gone in seconds.
FYI, If anyone should be out there vulturing +EV machines, it should be you. You love slots, you frequent casinos, you don't have much money, it's definitely worth more than what you make at Wallgreens, and you have access to some knowledge that is required. It's actually perfect for you(I'm assuming you have access to multiple casinos within a few hours and that you wouldn't donk off your profits on -EV stuff)

I guess my post about the great storyteller posting about the weather hit a nerve because he hasn't done so since. ;)
However, last night and today, the wind is howling in Vegas. Open windows rattle. The building sways, which I feel very uncomfortable about. I laid in bed all night listening to this howling and feeling this sway. So when I awoke, I went to WoV to get confirmation from the great one. Not a word. Now I have to wonder is it really happening. :cool:
It's ok, Mdoggy. You can feel free to talk about the weather if you want. At least that is real and somewhat useful. :)
By the way, this current weather is what Las Vegas gets when a front comes through. Other places get the wind and temperature drop along with rain, sometimes a lot of rain. We just get a day of wind and a temperature drop....no rain. :(
Did retard Alan ever acknowledge how stupid he was about "10k standalone must hits don't exist". Did he every say anything like "Wow, I didn't realize that. I was totally wrong about what I said. Thanks for educating me."
It'll be a busy day for him if he acknowledges both that AND Nevada casinos not being legally required to check the IDs of every patron on the same day.
On the one hand, I get it: AlanMendelson is an insufferable human being who, for one reason or another, enjoys frequent social contact with others. He has nothing worthwhile to actually contribute vis-a-vis gambling and I'm not sure whether or not there is a forum for those involved in the informercial business...the one subject about which he might have something useful to contribute. Even then, he has nothing on the ShamWOW/SlapChop guy, cleaner criminal record (probably none) aside.
With that, he likes gambling, but doesn't really have anything beyond that to add to the forum. As a result, I strongly suspect that he trolls the forum with gambling-related nonsense because it at least gets people talking to him.
I couldn't imagine how difficult it would be to be an insufferable human being that nobody can stand talking to who simultaneously wants frequent social contact, if not outright be the center of attention. I'd almost pity him, except I have no reason to because it is his own comport that drives people away from him and, I suspect, most of it is deliberate.
If the above wasn't clear, what I am really trying to say is he is a petulant attention-seeking child. Similar, Tuttigym. Both will likely be drinking thinned mashed potatoes from a straw inside of a year anyway, so it really doesn't matter.
I'm only sort of back. We're pretty much at the midway point (NFL Week 9) between my return and my disappearing for another long stretch, I imagine.
Mission, I have really enjoyed your post over on the WOV forum.
I’m sure You have already explained this, but is your absence related to the posters themselves? Or a personal issue?
PositiveVariance,
Thank you; that's very nice of you to say.
I present as Exhibit A, which will be my only Exhibit today as I have somewhere to go:
https://wizardofvegas.com/forum/ques...table-formula/
As we can see, someone asks a question and I answered it. I might add that I answered it pretty well and came up with a pretty creative way to get to the solution, which anyone can follow and do for themselves, no computer programming experience needed.
To be clear, that's not to denigrate anyone who uses computer programming to answer questions like these; I simply do not know how to program. If I did, then I would use that ability to answer these sorts of questions.
After this, we see that this dog, Tuttigym, comes sniffing around my crotch for no reason other than to make his point, for the 1,000,000th time, that math totally sucks, brev.
So, what's the point?
I guess I'll probably use the answer that I typed for an article somewhere, thereby making at least some money for the effort, but I could do that anyway and without ever interacting with anyone if I wanted to.
So, I suppose the short answer is that I don't see Forum participation as a recreational activity simply because talking to other people is generally not fun for me and tends to be even less fun on the forums.
That's not to say there aren't people I enjoy talking to. I would say I enjoy talking to a simple majority of the participants, but the cost/benefit is such that I'd generally rather abstain if the purposes are recreational and meant to be enjoyable...because the annoyance caused by the few outweighs the enjoyment of the company of the many, usually.
More succinctly, I'm probably about halfway to the finish line we all must eventually cross and generally don't have time for the bullshit of nonsensical people.
Nice post by Dan Druff in the Alan thread.
I didn't want to be argumentative in that thread, but I do want to qualify that I don't love gambling; I don't even like gambling. It's a job like any other.
I believe that 85% of these forum members, across all gambling forums, are not Gamblers, APs or Serious Players.
They are way too Pussified to be real.
In the Real Casino World, no Fucking Gamblers that I know of, have this thin of skin.
No Fucking Way.
Bunch of Fucking Nancies over here.
I don't like AxelWolfs Forum style, but I will say that he certainly isn't a Nancy Boy.
If I saw the forums as my main social outlet, or even cared about having social outlets, then I might feel the way you do.
Evidently, a six-month absence was insufficient to prove my point.
I will no longer be participating at this forum. I would appreciate if you assholes not say anything with an intention of trying to piss me off and goad me back.
Continue to enjoy your pathetic desire for friendship, Monet. You certainly have a weird way of going about it. Me? I have no desire for friends. It's hard enough to muster up the energy to deal with the ones I already have.
If you see me logged in, it's probably because I am responding to a PM.
See you all later. All of you have a good life, or whatever.
Certainly you must enjoy some gambling, or at least did at one time. You don't enjoy little craps, keno, VP, Holdem? You don't enjoy finding and playing a screen full of UX or some variable state slot that's a home run?
There are some plays I enjoy and some plays I don't. I dislike grinding plays for low percentages and long hours, even if the hourly is good. I enjoy just about any type of gambling if the situation is juicy enough.
This post could easily go under the WOV Thread or the Alan RIP thread. I find it underwhelming that Alan only has 4 pages for his death on WOV. Alan was a Long time, frequent Poster, Well known Gambler and Journalist, polarizing, controversial figure on WOV and he suddenly died. You'd think he'd have much more than only 4 pages on WOV for his Death Thread. :/
He has roughly the same amount of pages as Oncedear's Resignation Thread. Sudden Death Thread=Same pages as Resignation Thread ? :/
Monet eventually would like to see this forum with just himself and his significant other Tableplay, where they can continue their online activity of "Let`s see who can Slurp eachother off the best". The hopes are that it eventually leads to a Motel 6, if it hasn`t already happened
It hasn't come to that quite yet. Even with Alan's passing, Singers departure, Marathon Mission 20th temporary leave of absence and Mad Max gone AWOL, we still have a few blue chip prospects left in the farm system. Dom Perignom, DgenBen, Smurgerburger, Theywontpayontuesday and last but not least Ray Finkle. Those 5 All-Stars should help ease the pain, with the 4 VCT veterans gone.
Oh my God, Vienna Pizza on WOV just thanked God Alan died and expressed relief over Alan's sudden death and talked crap about him! :eek: That's grounds for a WOV Suspension. I got Suspended on WOV for less. And so have countless other people been suspended for less.
It seems awful to say it even after he's dead. On a side note, I just learned that it was previously stated that Posters lose insult protection after death. That just seems wrong to me. At least Vienna Pizza got suspended. That was one of the most disgusting posts I had ever had the displeasure of reading. :( :/ On another side note, Vienna Pizza mentioning religion was also grounds for Suspension. The Admins said after August 2019, posts about Politics and Religion were now grounds for Suspension when they used to be tolerated and encouraged. So, Vienna Pizza had two strikes in one post.
The knuckleheads over there are wondering why EB isn't posting. The reject is sitting on 25,999 post. He's always does this bullshit and "disappears" right before these "milestone posts" then comes back with something completely stupid.
You may be onto something although you are joking. Evenbob hasn't visited Gambling Forums since November 7th, hasn't visited WOV since November 8th and hasn't visited DT since November 9th. Alan died on November 9th although his death was officially made public on November 11th. Coincidence or irony? Hmm....
Hmm. I can see why he wouldn't want to post after being Suspended on WOV, but that still doesn't answer why he stopped visiting GF as well. DT is the Sister Website of WOV, so him not posting on DT after being Suspended on WOV makes sense, but makes zero sense for him not posting on GF.
I came to visit him. I see RW name a joint after him since he's such a "winner"!

Hmm. Oncedear got Suspended on WOV by Dieter. And Wizard upheld it. Gotta be awkward, Admins Suspending someone who was another Admin less than two months ago. :/
Mdawg is right when he pointed out that Oncedear should have been pardoned for Thanksgiving. Oncedear shouldn't have ever been Suspended in the first place. Dieter even implied Oncedear didn't break any existing rules! Oncedear said that Evenbob was Trolling, but didn't outright call him a Troll. Saying someone is Trolling was said to be allowed, but saying someone is a Troll is grounds for Suspension. Oncedear didn't call him a Troll. He said something like,"Shame on you Gordon for allowing Evenbob to be Trolling," which is not Suspendable either. I honestly thought GORDON was the one who Suspended Oncedear for saying,"Shame on you," and was surprised it was DIETER, who wasn't even being referenced in that post. IIRC, WOV Posters are allowed to voice their displeasure with Admin decisions in a reasonable way without being Suspended, such as saying,"Shame on you for allowing Evenbob to be Trolling."
It's none of retarddawgs business!
And....Mdawg has now been Suspended himself by Dieter... He apparently thinks that Mdawg saying that Turkeys are pardoned on Thanksgiving was an insult to Oncedear. It clearly wasn't an insult to Oncedear, it was a lighthearted defense to Oncedear, not an insult to him. Dieter's out of control and even Soopoo(Who admires Dieter a lot) called him out on Suspending Mdawg when Mdawg was defending Oncedear with a lighthearted joke and demanded Dieter unsuspend Mdawg. Shame, Dieter was actually normal, reasonable, mature, and rational before becoming an Admin. Then he changed for the worse after becoming Admin. I definitely wasn't expecting Dieter to change for the worse after becoming Admin. It's a real shame.
No, IT IS NOT RETARTDAWGS BUSINESS!!!
It's also none of your fucking business either!
I know it's none of my business but that doesn't mean I shouldn't call out unfair WOV practices.
Edit. I have reached the daily posting limit that has been imposed on me in 2019 for being a Troll that is still in effect to this day despite me deciding to stop Trolling in 2020. So I won't be able to answer in at least 24 hours
Interesting quote Oncedear. I see you wishing people happy Thanksgiving, do you guys across the pond celebrate Thanksgiving and if so, at the same time we do?
Anyway back to your quote. You used to have a problem with Mdawg. Maybe not Mdawg personally, but that he was polluting the forum with his make believe claims. Just curious...has that changed? No longer a moderator, with your hands tied, I would like to hear what you really think.
Hi KJ,
No, Thanksgiving is nothing to us in the UK, nor is 4th July. But I wish you guys the best on those events as a courtesy, because i recognise that they are meaningful to you.
I THINK, we make more fuss over Christmas than you guys do, and that's about the only time we'd think of buying turkey. Though smaller families are more likely to have Chicken, Beef or Pork or have the hosting family put on a buffet.
Nice try.
No. You are not going to draw me into your grievances with MDawg. ;)
He and I are, as he put it, 'coup de La' with each-other. I'd like to think you and I are 'coup de La' too, whatever that means. "Cool?' : 'All Good?'
Query, is it just me, or does the wizard have an extremely punchible face, hey hey????
Bozo Soopoop liking Herr Dieter doesn't mean a pinch of coon shit !
How do you even know Herr Dieter was normal, reasonable mature and rational LOFL when he was an invisible no namer before becoming Rusty's dirty work high paying dictator. Most people leave some kind of mark on the forums ex SOOPOOP cuckold, EvenBob in house resident know it all, Alan RIP 18 yos, Singer legend, last but not least, you holding the record for most socks/dupes ever created, rivalled by one other poster who is gaining significant ground the last few years. But Herr Dieter was a complete nobody prior to his " promotion" once again LOFL !
Love the convo about cross dressing Nareed. Completely agree with Duff on this one.
Calling yourself a female when your are clearly a male, no matter what surgery you may or may not have had, is an insult to humanity!
I recall meeting Nareed at a WoV Spring Fling.
Nareed wore a dark frock, smoked, and was kind enough to give all attendees a welcoming gift of Mexican candies.
Nice person.
She/He also holds the record surpassing EvenSlob for the most posts per capita. I beleive she is still top 5 at Rusty's house, without posting for the last 7 or 8 years.
WOV has a Pronoun Policy?
Seriously?
When in doubt, just say "HEY YOU!"
Not addressing someone by their preferred pronoun is wrong.
It's as wrong as calling your mother "dad,"and vice versa.
You should be slapped, scorned, and punished for such effrontery.
I've always hung out with transexuals, especially on....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJGjwqWqObU
At the lesbian rallies they chant:
"TRANSWOMEN ARE.......MEN!"
"TRANSWOMEN ARE.......MEN!"
"TRANSWOMEN ARE.......MEN!"
Lesbos refuse to have sex with Transwomen. Do you know why? It's pretty simple. They don't like dick. They like pussy.
That's why at their rallies the lesbos chant:
"TRANSWOMEN ARE.......MEN!"
The trannies complain to high hell that the lesbos won't have sex with them. WTF?
If you have a dick but call yourself a woman I am under no obligation whatsoever to call you she/her so don't expect me to call you that. You're a fucking he/him. And if a trannie don't like it I'll kick him in the balls.
That stopped me in my tracks.
But here's a MrV legal question of sorts. I don't have a problem adhering to the pronoun of whatever gender someone decides they want to be in the here and now. For example, I prefer Them, an homage to that sci-fi classic with the giant ants. But how can a person who was one gender for Time A and transitioned to a different gender in Time B expect to be able to impose a pronoun on the past? If you dealt with someone who was a "he" for 20 years, and you are referring to past events, how can it be wrong to use the pronoun the person was at the time of the events?
The idea that a person can impose a pronoun after the fact of events seems like spoiled narcissism to me, and also legally incorrect. Nobody has the power to alter past reality, to impose changes upon actual history based on present preferences. Shouldn't a person adhere to self references that are accurate to the gender at the time of described events?
