The Vegas Matt channel posts a running tally in the video descriptions. YTD is just inside of -$200k, currently halfway through.
Sick brag :cool:.
I watch some of the videos, but I'm not an obsessed fan. I take time out to play with my cats: Matt and EJ :D.
I'll have to be more alert, but I would say they hide their acumen well. Sometimes they'll speculate as to whether a particular slot has true or perceived persistence, but they never talk about edges. That's probably good for their popularity as everyone hates APs.Quote:
I was told by someone in LV that he locks up slots at playable numbers for Vegas Matt and his son in exchange for a free-roll.
Let's check in on Matt's OCD. Just past 40 minutes:

EJ sets the barneys approximately into their circles.
Matt nudges the left chip into position.
The right chip looked okay to me.
This needs a complete overhaul.
It'll be worth the effort.
Now that's a straight edge! Ready when you are, dealer.
Giftgate on the July 16th VegasMattAndFriends live stream.
A fan gifted Matt a 3D-printed objet d'art. You see it's engraved: "Winner! Vegas Matt."
He held it up to the camera, and thanked the viewer.
Then in the final moments of the stream, Matt s-canned the item.
This was soon edited out, and now the video cuts from the bac table to the (high-limit?) cashier area.
Angry reactions ensued, and Matt jumped in with a pinned comment, explaining that the item had broken because W2 (idiot!) dropped it.
Sad and disappointing
Takesitinhisbigpussyontuesday is very sad and disapointed no one wants his big pussy this tuesday.
Celebrity status not always good for the ego. During a livestream interlude, a fan approached Vegas Matt.
"Ooh, I watch you every day!" <slight pause> "What's your name again?" :eek:
Suckscockontuesdays also sucks cock on sundays
Come on, Mickey and Tuesday, your feud is stinking up a thread that is about Vegas Matt's playing technique. Really ridiculous and stupid. I honestly would have been pissed if I were Don and you guys hijacked my legitimate gambling thread with your ridiculous, stupid, and stinky feud. :mad:
Let's get back on track here.
W2Jesus has an account here and has posted before.
W2Jesus looks a lot different today than in the pics posted of him earlier in the thread. He has lost a tremendous amount of weight. Here's a recent picture of WBG (left) and W2Jesus (right):

I know both of their identities and their backgrounds. Obviously I'm not going to reveal any of it, because it's their private business. I like both of them.
You have to understand that Vegas Matt is a business. Clearly they're not just firing off big $ on -EV slot machines for shits and giggles, or just for YouTube notoriety. When you see a sponsorship or hear rumors that they're getting special treatment by El Cortez or wherever, you need to understand that it's all part of the game. Casinos are built on favortism. Comps are based upon favortism. You are not owed anything as an AP -- not from the casinos, and not from other APs. You need to make your own way.
The only things I really frown upon in the AP world are:
- Scamming/deception of other APs
- Harassment/tricking of ploppies (such as predatory vulturing)
- Outright cheating (there's a big difference between advantage play and cheating) or theft
- Selling phony or exaggerated "systems" to the public
- Biting the hand that feeds you by spreading advantage information you were given to too many people, thus prematurely ruining the play for everyone
But Vegas Matt doesn't do any of this.
He isn't selling bullshit systems, isn't pretending to be something he's not, isn't scamming anyone, isn't bothering ploppies, and isn't ruining things for other APs.
I think some people get angry at him because they see him racking up huge views while appearing to lose big money gambling, when in reality he's getting enough on the back end to overcome that and actually profit. So to some people, especially APs, that feels inauthentic. However, Matt never denies he's making money from this venture. Basically, what he's doing is victimless.
He found a good formula. He created a slot channel which works because the stakes are high, he has a good personality, and his sidekicks are endearing. It's also nice to see that an older guy was able to succeed with a channel like this. It's a refreshing change from the channels where hot chicks spin slots, and the entire draw to the channel is for pervs to drool over them. It's 60-year-old Matt with his son and middle-aged sidekicks, and they're succeeding strictly based upon the content itself.
Entertainment wise, it's hard to beat a blackjack video like this one.

He is at least actually playing at the El Cortez, unlike UNKewlJ.
He does wear an obnoxiously bulky gold chain necklace and bracelet (missing in this video) though. At least they are not Figaros.
Why isn't this retard pretending to gamble.
He churns out good content.
He's gotten probably the most hate for this:
But I think a lot of viewers just skip the Chanced videos, and continue enjoying the regular stuff as usual.
Sometimes commenters grumble about his MLM/network marketing background.
EJ is somewhat of a lightning rod because people think he exerts excessive authority. But someone has to do it, and Matt doesn't have the inclination to make all the decisions. I think the four of them have excellent chemistry, all considered.
Why are they filming with Tony Bigcharles? :eek:

No, he did not say "versus" -- he said "verse" :mad:.
Idiot.
Read a book :(.
A lot of people make verbal typos, doesn't mean he's an idiot. A guy said he tried to insult an Idiot by trying to say,"He's not the sharpest tool in the shed," but ended up accidentally saying,"He's not the sharpest shed in the tool." He said he got instant karma for trying to insult someone else by accidentally saying the wrong thing himself when trying to insult someone else. That doesn't mean he's an idiot, he just made a verbal typo.
