Yes, she does.

This is going to sound like sour grapes but I am so sick of crybabies at WoV. I was again suspended in what I see as a bad call because a certain member sent a PM complaining about a post I made that did not even involve them.
I get rules are rules, but what asshat gets off on reporting others to the Wiz or other mods about someone else’s post. Like kids in school WoV has a couple members that seem to take joy in it.
I have no problem doing the time, even if I don’t think this one would have drawn a suspension without ONM complaining about it. He seems to have it out for me. No clue why, but whatever, I’ll live.
And while I know some of you work with and like Billryan, he too is a jackass. If I ever met him in person, which I have no interest in, I have no issue saying it to him. He preaches like some holy person, while milking the system with nothing to his name.
I'm not getting why that kindergarten class, aka the WoV forum, holds so much power over you people. Wizard's been just playing with you all over the years. He has some stupid escalating suspension system that seemingly has its own built-in humiliator, in that he knows members get so worked up over these little punishments, and how they're just chomping at the bit to get back on. He is the puppet master, the libtard/low income slug mods are his Pee Wee Hermans with a badge, and you people are his puppets.
The whole set up and why anybody would go back to an immature situation like that, clearly defies logic.
Actually makes logical sense Rob, but there is something about these forums, not just WoV that keeps people coming back. Some even after being banned as socks, they need the fix it gives them.
Maybe it’s the diversion from whatever we do in our daily life. Who knows, but we keep coming back.
Picked a bad week to be suspended from WoV. Would love to blow up the libs heads with our early Christmas Gift of RBG possibly having cancer removed today. Nothing worse than they get away with wishing on Trump daily with no repercussions.
Oh yea, Fuck Billryan, you lazy government dependent piece of shit.
kewlJ got banned/nuked for posting about WoV members on another forum.
Be Careful.
BBB and others are reading!
Certainly, OnceDear is reading and reporting like Heinrich Himmler.
Here is an idiot quote by V who thinks Church and State are separate.
Truth is they always work together to make big tax free money and control the populace...
Reminds me of Li'L Hitler...
Not my problem.
Till your overrun with the homeless and mentally ill.
What do you do with the millions of people who can't fend for themselves mentally or physically...
What about the ones with no family or victims or rape or incest?
Bring back the Guillotine?

Having read Boz's comments today while I was out, I too wanted to warn Boz that you can be permanently banned at WoV for things said on another forum, but Monet beat me to it :rolleyes: Although in fairness, I believe there has been exactly 1 member that has been banned at WoV for something said elsewhere and that would be me. :D
Anyone that has followed me since Shackleford decided to pull that stunt has probably seen me post the quote of Shackleford's announcement of my banning: "while normally we do not consider things said on other forums, KewlJ has been banned for something said on another forum".
But there is really more to the story that that. The forum in question is a forum named ZenZoneforum. It is mostly dead these days, although I believe Moses might still be posting there somewhat regularly. Anyway, it is a site where some of the detractors of Norm Wattenberger go to post negatively of him. And Norm reads everything posted.
So I can guarantee that prior to the day that he banned me, Mike Shackleford had never visited ZenZoneforum. I would go as far to say, he had never even heard of the forum. And I can equally guarantee that he has not visited since. Yet somehow on the day I posted, Shackleford read what I posted and within 2 hours, banned me for it. That is pretty interesting isn't it. :confused:
And for the record for anyone wondering what dastardly thing I posted on another forum that got me banned. I posted that "Norm Wattenberger had contracted Mike Shackleford repeatedly including 19 times within a 24 hour period, demanding that he silence me". Amazing isn't it. No name calling. No threats. Just a completely true statement revealing what was taking place behind the scenes.
So yeah Boz, be careful.
Typical liberal bullshit from monet, above.
"Oh those poor people, me oh my!"
"Oh, those poor Guatemalan refugees, let them in!"
Uh, no, fuck em.
Not ... my ... problem.
My problem is rebuilding the crumbling infrastructure, regulating interstate commerce and national defense.
I'm libertarian, i.e. make do with as little government interference in life as is reasonably possible.
.
Thanks for the warnings KJ & Monet. I did think of that when I posted it, and if it happens, it happens. Honestly I don’t get much off of that forum anymore. I give it credit for allowing me to meet many good people and learn a lot over the years. But most of that is long gone. I used to add AC info years ago, and many times got hit for putting too much info out there. The past few years have been mostly nonsense like arguing politics. Or aggregating myself with jackasses like Bill, Stevorina and ZK. Even though we agree on next to nothing, I like and respect AMS and Terrapin. Just my opinion, sure I’m not Billys favorite either.
I will say in all the years I posted there, I never had anyone screw me over or even try. I made money and the knew enough to avoid WoN. As you guys have shown, there is life after banishment.
And I’ll never go back as a sock if banned. As I say, I’ll live.
You guys should be grateful that I don't run this forum like WoV, and keep the bans/suspensions to the absolute minimum.
If you ran it like WoV almost all members who post here would of been nuked long ago, including myself.
I tried to get banned a year ago but finally realized that you don't believe in such.
I commend you on the way you run the site.
On WoV they say they believe in freedom of speech but on this site you prove that you believe.
Freedom of speech? Sure I buy freedom of speech to a point. And that includes the likes of Alan posting that he saw 18 y.o.'s in a row (he didn't). It also includes Singer posting his looney tune Singer VP strategy and claims that flies in the face of mathematics and reality. I believe it is the responsibility of the rest of us to continually debunk these false claims.
But I don't think all of Singer and now Blackhole's personal attacks should fall under the category of "free speech". These nasty personal attacks are usually not even on subject matter. These attacks serve a purpose for these trolls. The intent is to 1.) change the subject away from the fact that whatever particular topic is being discussed, flies in the face of mathematics and reality. And 2.) serve as a warning and deterrent to anyone else not to challenge such claims or they too will be subject to such personal attacks.
And while #2 is meant as a specific deterrent to anyone challenging the alternate reality of these clowns, it has a broader effect of deterring new members that visit the site or just lurk from joining in and participating.
Gambling forums can have a rough and tumble character to them wherein people post without first filtering their ideas through a sieve of polite reflection.
Singer blames it on anonymity, but since his name is known and since he's the worst troll / offender that dog won't hunt.
I think it boils down to personalities, and how we view life and interaction with others.
Newbies should not be deterred from jumping into the hot tub; it's not a club, it's not a clique, it's just a pretty much anything goes place to talk about life and gambling.
Be bold, newbies: post.
Another situation has developed at WoV where a long time member, Crystalmath, having never been suspended before, has taken two suspensions within a week, and of course was martingaled. CM is a video game designer and knows his stuff, especially the math. His posts have always been high quality content. And he has stayed out of the fray when arguments break out. But it looks like he finally grew weary of Michael Bluejay's condescending attitude and said something about it. MB used to be a moderator on the site and may have had something to do with it's creation. The suspension of CM came straight from Shack. It's clear Shack is protecting MB from criticism.
It will be interesting to see what CM will do when his latest suspension is over. Will he come back? Will he resign? Will he continue to criticize MB? It looks to me like Shack is quite willing to get rid of a very valuable member and let MB continue with his condescending attitude. Shack has said absolutely nothing to MB about his attitude.
The biggest sleazeball on the site is billryan. This lowlife prick needs his ass kicked. He's a bottomfeeding hustler and works the government freebies all the while running down the people paying the taxes to feed his punk ass. A true slimeball if there ever was one. He's taken 5 suspensions, some of them very close, but has never been given more than three days. He wasn't taking any suspensions until enough heat was put on Babs to do her job. They are two peas (libtards) in a pod. You can tell she begrudgingly suspends him when he gets out of line but never marty's him.
Ok, let's talk about anonymity. AP must have anonymity. The very industry that we play goes to great lengths (and expense) to identify us and stop us from playing. We see new examples of this all the time just read Alan's thread about Boyd casino's new policies specifically targeting AP's.
We aren't hiding behind anonymity as per our claims and experiences. We aren't running from anything. That is why most of us use the same handle, or slight variation throughout numerous forums. AND many in the community either personally know one another or at least know of one another including real names. I, myself am not big on meeting other AP's and some in the community look down on me for that. As a matter of fact, that is one of the issues that has kept me off a very private forum, run and populated by top blackjack AP's, including many of the BJHoF guys. I just am not comfortable with that. There are too many people, including AP's that have switched sides over the years, including people that I like or respected like Shackleford and Stanford Wong, among others. I weigh everything in terms of risk vs reward and mixing business with pleasure currently presents too much risk at this stage of my career.
Ok, so I got a little further into that than I intended, but anyway. People and/or players that are not concerned about anonymity and use their real names, are likely not real AP's in this day and age. The exception is some of the older guys, like a Don Schlesinger. Some use names that are not their real names but they are known by or publish under, like Munchkin, Dancer ect. I am not sure why or how Shackleford missed the boat on this one and chose to use his real name. But then again, I am not all that sure of how much Shackleford depends on APing for income or ever did. He doesn't talk about it and I just don't know.
Now being that Singer's real name is well known, because he is so obnoxious that different people took it upon themselves to find out and make it known, it is fair to use that information. This is actually my position on hole-carding. I don't seek out that information, but if I know it, I am going to use it. So anyway, I suggest people look up Singer's real name, read the information that is publicly available because this guy is NOT who he says or claims. Almost nothing about him is as he says it is. And that should tell anyone interested all they need to know about all his other claims. All nonsense, alternative reality.
Remember one of my favorite sayings "It doesn't take all that much to figure out who knows what they are talking about and who is just talking"? Well for those that missed the boat on seeing that ("doesn't take all that much") or simply didn't want to see it for whatever reason, maybe you too don't like AP's or some of the particular AP's on this forum, I suggest you use the information available and spend a few minutes looking into this troll and his agenda. If you honestly do, all your questions will be answered. :cool:
Same reason you can call Alan a Shyster and not get in trouble.
Same reason you can call Singer, Cousin Eddie.
Although Cousin Eddie is the most true to life character in the first 4 Griswold Movies...
I am not sure you should make a whole movie about Cousin Eddie though.
Question about me aand WON. I have WON insulting me to this day in emails presumably because I let him think I was a man when we planned to meet at Gulfstream Park Casino and I showed up as a woman and coyly answered his questions on WOV about whether I was a man or a woman saying something like,"Go up to the person wearing all black playing Coyote Moon to find out!" WON left without ever meeting me and wrote that he was hesitant to meet me because he was looking for a man and saw a woman instead and thought he was being played. In my defense, I asked him twice what he looked like and he ignored me both times. Someone on WOV mentioned I was ignored when I asked him what he looked like and mentioned I would have said "Hi," if I knew what he looked like. We even mentioned in detail the big bag I had(I mentioned it in detail first. )He had mentioned that he thought I was a Troll and would give me a $100 Macy's gift card if I could prove to him in the real world that I was real. After the failed meetup, I asked him if I still would get the $100 Macy's gift card. He was infuriated and told me I didn't deserve crap because I had him thinking that I was a man. Posters pointed out that he said,"Prove to me that you are real and I will give you a $100 Macy's gift card, " so he needed to give me the gift card or look like a Welsher who doesn't keep his word, his choice. WON pointed out that a man named Nathan didn't show up, a woman named Karen showed up and he promised Nathan a $100 gift card. The reply was,"The person posting as Nathan showed up, so give that lady her $100 gift card." Won created a new thread and asked if he owed me the gift card. The majority was,"You owe her half. . She showed up as a woman and not man. Won gave me a card that had already been used up by the time I tried to use it and the value was supposed to be $50. Should I agree to meet him in real life again as a woman and give him a legitimate $50 gift card to rectify what I did in Gulfstream? Disclaimer. My REAL name is Karen, not Nathan or Tasha. ;)
Okay, I case the case is closed. You're a complete fucking idiot. Don't worry you're at the right place.
The world may be ending but Blackhole hit a Home Run on this one.
Not sure how familiar you are with this idiot but this is the type garbage She or He posts daily at WoV. And the Wizard allows it for his “Entertainment”.
As for being at the right place, obviously you are here as well.
Kendry/ Nathan/ Tasha is certainly a polarizing figure.
Is she a troll, fucking with everyone? And is actually smarter then the moron she comes off as?
Is she really as stupid as she appears to be? And if so, should we just feel sad for her instead of mocking her?
Is she hurting WoV as some seem to think? Personally I don’t see that, like this site, other than useless banter, the site is not a hotbed of AP plays.
Everyone has their opinion on her and I think the attention is what she wants.
My problem with her is that she uses socks and is Kendry but won’t admit it. There is no doubt in my mind the Wizard believes it but see’s humor in her. As we all know he enjoys belittling people (Like Restaurant Servers), he sees as less intelligent than him. But I don’t get him as someone says he is a stickler for rules but ignores them with her.
It’s funny that her and WoN are forever linked as they both were allowed to use socks with moderators knowledge for some unknown reason. They deserve each other.
While I don't read most of what Nathan/Tasha/karen post, the difference is that Nathan (for short) don't try to mislead other players with false AP, alternative math crap....at least not that I am aware of. In the absence of that, such a person (whether Nathan or someone else) is what Dan Druff recently described a harmless forum clown. And that's ok, because like you said, WoV is mostly not about anything AP, it is now much more entertainment oriented.
But when a person starts intentionally misleading other members and players with alternative math and facts and likely for some kind of profit or benefit that is an entirely different kind of troll and one that I strongly object to on any kind of site that is supposed to have anything to do with providing real information.
Please give me an example of "alternative math." Thank you.
alan's "18 yo's in a row" takes normal math and stretches it beyond the breaking point.
Not just "alternative math:" it's "alien math."
No. That was a problem involving English comprehension and perspective of the reader. But you'll never admit that.
I'm looking for a true example of alternative math... whatever that's supposed to be. Perhaps I should rephrase the question. What is alternative math?
The answer to the two dice problem, AS THE QUESTION WAS ORIGINALLY ASKED , is 1 in 11. Your "alternative math" says it's 1 in 6. Actually, 'alternative math" is to good a term for your answer. It's completely false bogus voodoo math. This "english compehension" you are trying to muddy up the issue with is YOUR problem. The answer to the question AS IT WAS ORIGINALLY ASKED is 1 in 11. Every college math professor in the world will give that answer. Only YOU and some of the others in the confederacy of dunces will give the 1 in 6 answer. That's because you guys are math challenged.
Mickeycrimm please don't go there again. The question was improperly worded to yield the 1/11 answer.
Now let me be more specific. Rob Singer is accused of using "alternative math" and I am asking for an example of his alternative math. Please give me one.
Didn’t you quit thus forum? It’s a miracle you are back!
You staying away was about the same chance of you paying your kid, Singer having a 9 1/2 cock, your kid hitting 2 Royals in a weekend and still losing, and you seeing 18 Yo’s In a row.
All Bullshit that never happened or will happen.
Of more interest to any of us who lose everything and end up like you is how does Holidays like New Years falling on the 1st affect you getting your monthly “Fix”? Assuming since it’s the government, your check will be direct deposited tomorrow, therefore it won’t even make it to the 1st.
I wonder how Stations accounting is affected by not getting income from you in January?
True waste of hard working taxpayers dollars, Alan, true waste.
I know you want to make it about one singular person, but I wasn't specifically talking about one singular person. There was a similar situation to what you are referring to on a blackjack site several years ago.
Alan, I wish you no harm, but I will no longer engage in your silly troll games. Whether you are the stupidest person on this forum or pretend to be the stupidest person on this forum no longer matters to me. I am not playing. Perhaps others will continue to play your games. But Happy New Year to you.
Another safe bet, you will continue to get frustrated by the garbage Alan posts. It pisses off you, me and anyone with common sense that this guy continues to exist in the world. Spewing garbage day after day. Which is exactly why containing Singer to one thread won’t work. The world, including forum worlds is filled with idiots like Alan and Singer and always will be.
Bigger question is what do you, KJ, want out of a forum? Face it, you will never find a group of people on a forum that think and share the same things you expect out of one. Always going to be trolls, idiots and people who will claim to beat math at every turn.
Only options are to start your own forum (See Face/Fisk) and ban anyone who disagrees , or accept it. But I know you don’t want to be like the people who have banned you, so this is what we get.
Happy New Year KJ, you’re one of the good dudes out there.
Kewlj you were the one who used the term "alternative math." What is it? Give me an example.
Is that really so difficult?
Thanks Boz. You are alright in my book too. I am not crazy about all your politics that I read, but that's ok. That's what makes the world go round.
Here's the thing Boz. On the blackjack forum, I only posted about blackjack. And most of the discussion was about....blackjack (surprise). Lots of different opinions. Lots of different methods and players using different approaches. But when someone came along making ridiculous claims like a 5% advantage card counting using a super duper count, yeah, I don't like it. That can't be done. That is unicorn shit. 18 y.o's in a row shit. Mathematically impossible. I called it out, as did others and the result was I was banned. :confused: And I have since been proven right as one of the great math guys Don Schlesinger eventually called this nut job out (and continues to fairly regularly). Same thing I said 4 years ago.
Now WoV, was probably the forum that I enjoyed the most. I got to talk a little blackjack, share some of my experiences. I also got to occasionally learn a bit from some of the tight lipped machine players. :rolleyes: And I got to talk a little sports and even occasionally politics that I sometimes enjoy. 4+ years, 3200+ posts. I didn't engage with the trolls very often. Was suspended one time for 3 days for calling EvenBob a jackass. (was I wrong? :confused:)
It still stings that someone came to the site (WoV), who didn't participate there, didn't intend to participate there and as a matter of fact had publicly stated he wouldn't participate there because he didn't trust Shackleford, and was able to demand and manipulate Mike to get rid of me. And then presto...the guy disappears again. I think he made 3 posts in 2018. :confused: I mean what the fuck? :confused:
But Happy 2019 Boz. :)
I guess we shouldn't call it "alternative math" since guys like Singer have no math to back up their claims. Just crackpot theories and claims that they can beat -EV games year after years over millions of hands. To make things worst, they use alternative strategies.
What I am referring to is what you wrote...
Who are you referring to, and how did they profit or benefit?
You were referring to an incident on another site from several years ago?
Bullshit you were.
KJ, my only suggestion is to do everything you can to make this your new WoV. I know you don’t have all the posters here to engage in all the things you loved about WoV.
As much as I disagree with Dan on some things, I agree with the theory that if enough good people post good stuff, others will follow. Think about the people you enjoyed engaging with over there and provide content that will attract others of like mind.
Dan won’t ban the Singers and Alan’s of the world but with enough quality voices, they will be drowned out.
I see many quality posters here, some I disagree with personally, but provide good information. Depending on your perspective, Monet, Mickey of course and others, along with many of the Caesars posters have provided more info than anyone on WoV in years.
I get the way you feel about how you were fucked over there, but you survived. Make this place a better one. It’s time to get over your banning, and move on. Or don’t, it’s still interesting reading. And yea, you got fucked by Norm. But so Billryan by life. Had to throw that in there!
Looks like MaxPen, a member in good standing here in Wizard terms, upset AMS and Billy boy. Threatening their entitlement to free shit always scares Billy. And AMS still thinks people care he is Gay.
A simple search of Billy’s records would show will he proudly served this country, every other venture he has ever been involved with failed. Or he hid all the profits and is a tax cheat. Which is it Billy?
You are always to join here. Plenty of “friends” here. Of course you wouldn’t have the liberal protections here you get at WoV. And you would have to defend yourself which again is probably not possible.
Anyone using him as a drone willing to invite him?
How about the ridiculous claim of a card-counter counting cards for 15 years undetected by enough casinos to withdraw well over a million dollars in Las Vegas of all places? Then claiming to be training his brother who lives with him which could only mean doubling their income.
I’m not saying the claim is unicorn shit, or mathematically impossible. I’m saying just plain old obvious simple BULLSHIT. There really is no difference
Welcome back stupid fuck. Assuming you addressed your cheating Son in Law over the Holidays.
Show me once where KJ said his brother would double his income. He understands the life he lives will be harder, if not impossible over the next 10 years. No thanks to people like ZK as a lunatic and plops like you willing to play regardless of rules.
So yea, you are contributing to people like KJ losing their livelihood. I guess you see it as leveling the field for lifetime losers like you. Screw anyone (actually everyone) smarter than you.
After all by your own admission you came looking to see why you lose on every casino trip.
I am fine with this Blackhole. You can choose to believe whatever you like. But at least everything I claim is mathematically possible. I know it is mathematically possible because it is true. If you want to believe it is not, that's ok. That's your choice. Just like you can believe the earth is flat and believe in the easter bunny. :rolleyes:
And BTW, we both know that you choosing not to believe is based on your dislike of me. So you don't want to believe, you refuse to believe the truth. And that's ok too. :)
Maybe for the New Years you should try not talking out of your stupidly fucked ass. Not having any son in laws confirms just endless stinking shit shooting out of your fucked ass.
I said -"Then claiming to be training his brother who lives with him which could only mean doubling their income." How you get KJ said his brother would double his income from my quote only is another confirmation that not only do you have a fucked ass, it's a stupid fucked ass. Happy New Year
Okay mickeycrimm I'm going to humor you one more time.
Let's say YOU were the guy peeking under the cup and YOU were asking me the question. What would the answer be as YOU looked under the cup?
This seems to be the situation with several of the "haters" on this site. Bitter old dudes angry at players who have succeeded making money from the casinos where they have failed. :( Even if they have had success elsewhere in life, they are bitter and angry about this.
Now I want to address this stupid shit about my brother. What the fuck is this doubling my income shit? My brother and I just finished our second year as partners and we split profits 50-50. And truth be told I earn more than 50% of EV because I play slightly higher limits sometimes and because I track a second table when I can, bumping up my expected value. So I earn a bit more than 50% but we spllt 50-50. So it actually costs me a little by having him as my partner and that is the way I wanted it while he gains experience.
Unfortunately we will not be partnering next year. He wants to play on his own and answer to no one other than himself. I think he is passing on a good opportunity for him, but I respect his decision and will still help him every way I can.
So just stop this complete bullshit about stuff you have no idea about, Blackhole. It's fucking retarded and you are a complete low-life for doing it.
The Wizard offered you a 9 for 1 payoff everytime the other die is a 2. By YOUR ALTERNATIVE math you should clean him out. By YOUR ALTERNATIVE MATH if he plays long enough you would take all of that 2.4 million he got for the site. But you chickenshitted out on the challenge. It's an easy one to do now that you both live in Las Vegas. If you believe so much that you are right why don't you take him up on the challenge? I'll tell you why. Because you know you are wrong but won't publicly admit it.
Let me be gentle. It's only because of the cup and the inability to know which of two dice shows a two that the answer is 1/11. But the "peeker" sees that at least one die is a 2 so for the peeker his answer is 1/6. That was the trick in the question. If you put yourself in the position of the peeker your answer is 1/6. But if you put yourself in the position of the peeker's friend you would say 1/11.
Now, I politely and gently explained it to you. Please be polite and gentle in your response.
I'll take this bet...but not with Shack...it has to be another VCT member,
all are eligible, whether you are in the 1 in 11 or the 1 in 6 camp.
My only non-negotiable condition is that we roll and settle up face-to-face.
What were the Wizard's terms with Alan?
I'll be in LV for a week for Punk Rock Bowling in May,
so that gives us almost 6 months to set parameters.
It's been my final answer since the beginning. "At least one of the dice is a two" is the key phrase in the original problem. The cup is meaningless. When at least one of the dice is a 2 it's 1 in 11 the other die will be a 2.
You can play the game on your kitchen table. It's easy to track with pencil and paper. With a big enough sample space you will see that you are averaging very close to rolling snake eyes once for every 11 times at least one of the dice is a 2. That is why Wizard offered you 9 for 1. But like I said, he was being very generous. In the short term you might show a profit. But in the long term you will lose.
The "two dice problem" would make a good craps side bet. That is, good for the house. It's certainly deceptive enough to get action. At a 9 to 1 payoff it would carry a house advantage of 9%.
I wonder just how many times you, I, one of the other AP's, even Dan Druff, or just about anyone with even a little understanding of the math has typed these words on this site? :confused:
This in a nutshell is what almost every discussion boils down to. It would be funny.....if it wasn't so sad. :(

Mickeycrimm you should go back and reread the discussions. What made the answer 1/11 is that it was not known which die showed a two. But when one specific die is known to be a two, then the answer is 1/6.
Roll two dice on your floor and see that one die has settled on two. Does the second die have six sides or 11?
Now put two dice in a cup and hand the cup to your friend. Your friend tells you truthfully that at least one die shows a 2. Now the answer is 1/11 because you don't know which die has been identified.
In the original problem if you took the position of the peeker (which I did) the answer is 1/6.
And the reason I never took the Wizards bet was because 2-2 is a 1/36 event. It is not 1/6, or 1/11.
Wait, this dice bit is still going on?
The problem is with the question... There will never be a real world situation where this would happen. One person is looking at it one way and the other is looking at it the another way..
The first dice doesn't matter... Forget about the first dice that is seen... What is the chances of one dice showing a 2? Doesn't matter if another dice shows two or not, the way the question is asked is what is backwards...
You both are trying to change the original problem as it was described to get a different answer. I will state this as an unequivocal position on it:
ROLL TWO DICE AND WHEN AT LEAST ONE OF THE DICE IS A TWO IT'S 1 IN 11 THAT THE OTHER DIE IS A 2.
That will never change and I wish it were a bet on a craps table worded:
IF AT LEAST ONE OF THE DICE IS A 2 AND THE OTHER DIE IS ALSO A 2-- PAYS 9 TO 1. Then Alan could beat his head against the wall trying to beat it.
It would be 9% house edge. Game designers always submit their new games to others for mathematical analysis to insure they haven't made any math errors. You can do the same with this one. I actually submitted this to a group of college math professors online when it was first being argued here. There was a conversation about it among them and they all had the same conclusion: WHEN AT LEAST ONE OF THE DICE IS A 2 IT'S 1 IN 11 THAT THE OTHER DIE IS A 2.
One of them actually came to this site to try to explain it but after getting a dose of Alan's whacked out math and non-sensical statements over it--and insisting that he, Alan, was right, the math professor said to hell with it and left.
