Actually I think there is a reason to care about the damage done to WoV by douchedawg.Quote:
There's absolutely no reason to care.
The site had seen better days before he started braying like a jackass with his schlong caught in barbed wire, but it has tumbled inexorably toward the pit of despond since then.
Valuable posters have left in disgust; few new posters join; and worst of all douchedawg has made the wiz look like an open-mouthed rube who just got conned at three card monte.
Shack doesnt care. He got his payday and is happy.
Nice baiting! Not gonna bite. My conclusions are in 1) and 2) above. And my assertion is your disagreement with those conclusions is a result of confirmation bias.Quote:

Seems to me I have considerably more data than you, and more experience dealing with these gambling narratives than you.Quote:

Not sure what a Ferengi is but pretty sure it is a Star Trek reference. I was going to let this slide, but it is funny that you see a big time antisocial troll to be the same kid as the one who had Star Trek posters. I don't believe thats how the world works, but we all develop our own models, eh. Your takes are very hot and cold.Quote:

I have doubts if you understand what confirmation bias is. There's a decent old essay called, "Scientists, Gamblers, and Magicians: Allies Against the Irrational" that was published in The Humanist in 1982 or thereabouts. You should probably check it out.Quote:

The Ferengi, according to wikipedia, were depicted as hyper-capitalistic, focused on the acquisition of profit as the highest goal. They also loved to have their ears rubbed.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Ears?Quote:

Pshaw.
I can think of another body part I'd rather have rubbed, but I suppose that would have been too racy for TV.
Lol. Now you are just being childish. Don’t let your insecurities drive you so much.Quote:

I wish I had been pursuing money most of my life and had been disciplined so I could be actually rich instead of just redneck rich. Which is fine in this country ...
Can you please provide a link to where MDawg said this?Quote:

I forget the name of the episode and don't feel like looking it up.Quote:

But the exact by Mdawg post is: Wizard and I got together recently and had a grand old time as he showed me a number of magic tricks he’s been working on. I was impressed. Yes, the inner wizard was definitely unleashed. Additionally we went over my Baccarat wins and losses this trip and I’d say that I might be about even, or slightly up or down at Bacc.
Are you sure that the term "this trip" covers the time period you claim?
I don't read douchedawg's threads so I am in the dark as to whether or not he ever leaves sin city, e.g. to return to California to attend to his job as an attorney.
Also, wouldn't a normal rich guy get tired of the phony bullishit in Las Vegas and want to go somewhere else for a break?
The following day, page 625 of the Mdawg adventure, Wizard posted the following "Mdawg's confession about his baccarat play over the entirety of his trip I found to be very honest and commendable."Quote:

UN-COOL, J.
Fuck man, why don’t you go fag it up and make some female friends so we can have sex with them. It KEWL. Or at least just go play some Black Jack in LAS VEGAS casinos.
I am just answering questions that are being asked of me.Quote:

I have to assume it is gambling related, as opposed to something plebian such as getting bitten by a scorpion that hitched a ride in your trunk from out of state.
