Confusion is normal, and, so, temporary, but, ignorance, especially as bliss, is eternal. "A person who does not know about a problem does not worry about it." Furthermore, "What gets us into trouble is not what we don't know. It's what we know for sure that just ain't so."
A further bit of philosophical sleight of hand is that what will happen, will happen whether feared, or not. However, a logical framework that tends to shape the events, themselves.

The Zen master Hakuin was praised by his neighbors as one living a pure life.
A beautiful Japanese girl whose parents owned a food store lived near him. Suddenly, without any warning, her parents discovered she was with child.
This made her parents very angry. She would not confess who the man was, but after much harassment at last named Hakuin.
In great anger the parents went to the master. "Is that so?" was all he would say.
After the child was born it was brought to Hakuin. By this time he had lost his reputation, which did not trouble him, but he took very good care of the child. He obtained milk from his neighbors and everything else the little one needed.
A year later the girl-mother could stand it no longer. She told her parents the truth - that the real father of the child was a young man who worked in the fishmarket.
The mother and father of the girl at once went to Hakuin to ask his forgiveness, to apologize at length, and to get the child back again.
Hakuin was willing. In yielding the child, all he said was: "Is that so?"
Sounds like an interesting guy. Apparently, he was more proactive, and practical, about it.Quote:
Hakuin's early extreme exertions affected his health, and at one point in his young life he fell ill for almost two years, experiencing what would now probably be classified as a nervous breakdown by Western medicine. He called it Zen sickness, and sought the advice of a Taoist cave dwelling hermit named Hakuyu, who prescribed a visualization and breathing practice which eventually relieved his symptoms. From this point on, Hakuin put a great deal of importance on physical strength and health in his Zen practice, and studying Hakuin-style Zen required a great deal of stamina. Hakuin often spoke of strengthening the body by concentrating the spirit, and followed this advice himself. Well into his seventies, he claimed to have more physical strength than he had at age thirty, being able to sit in zazen meditation or chant sutras for an entire day without fatigue. The practices Hakuin learned from Hakuyu are still passed down within the Rinzai school.
And, a good segue into another break. A couple of cases coming up. Nice not to have rush with preparation. But, until my return, if anyone is interested in the science stuff, insofar as the numerology approach to the fine structure, here are a couple of pdf's. I had to make the first one an attachment because the link wouldn't load.
The attachment has a neat little segue into my own thus discovery. Last week, I wondered about the best mathematical approximation to date for the electromagnetic fine-structure constant. I found the information, fairly quickly, and, so, didn't have to ask on one of the physics forums. My approximation is already about at least one digit better, and, is based on something far simpler, yet intimately related to fine-structure physics, itself. I mean, right off the bat, with my first, but accidental, attempt at it. What were the odds? And, that formula has a particular elegance to it as do mine, in a way by working with only the integer values of the fine-structure constants separately. 29 turns out to be one of the gravitational thus numerals, so, I'm not sure how relevant it will be to the 137. But, these files, and other thus attempts by likely thousands of others, are very light on the gematria/mysticism. Like Zen, there's so much more to it.

It is impossible to give an account here of all of the proposed formulas for alpha that have appeared in the literature. Some recent formulas are discussed by Gilson (1997), which presents his own formula, which is probably to date the most accurate formula and it is calculated from a model of atomic physics and relativity. This formula is difficult to interpret, however, and the numbers n1 = 137 and n2 = 29 have to be selected as the best input into the formula alpha inverted = ([29cos(pi/137)*tan(pi/29/137)]/pi)^-1} where n1 and n2 are integers.
Oh, here's another. Some of the information may be repeated.

87 ----------> 87 = (1 + 2)*29 ---> 1229, same as the post-time. With 163 = (192 - 29) ---> 19229.
Gotta say Garnabby, I'm impressed: you actually seem to understand and enjoy working in the fields of physics and higher level math.
Me, I declare "Victory" after balancing my checkbook, and I did well on my math SAT: gotta wonder how different my life would have turned out had I pursued a career in science or math instead of law?
We are in part defined by the choices we make.
Yeah, V, thanks. I think that it's important to strive for something more. Not for the good times, but, to carry on through the bad.
Perhaps the gambling crowd, with its supposed "pot of gold at the end of rainbow" outlook about everything forgets that gambling per se, however, isn't the something more. As betrayed by their expectation to be accepted at face value, without explanation, and, even emulated, but, at the same time, turning a cold shoulder to what/whoever else.
Oh, I forgot to note, particularly for that wonderful soul, A=0 IQ, with Singer up even his ass, that the entire gambling "movement" has more or less collapsed. Wonder why. Ha. All that awaits now is death.

Yeah, Monet, thanks. But, another two weeks of "life getting the way" before I post a mock-up solution to the fine structure, as a gateway to the remainder of a working theory of everything. Working in the sense of no complex, or complicated math, or physics. To demonstrate the importance of first principles remaining as final principles, given especially no true mind along with no true matter.Quote:

Do tell ...
For the last 20 plus years so many of have been on my monster nuts it’s pathetic. How many millions have I created for the community by accident ? It has to be north of 100 million in value. Then again none of you nit wits really know where the info comes from anyway. Now with all the spoon feeding people do online the market is saturated with a migrant workers. At least Crimm can actually figure shit out on his own.
Loyal to the game no clout chasers need apply. When a casino needs to taken down the real ones know who to call. The guy willing to live in bum fuck no where for 6 months to take down a 7 figure score to prove a point:
Let Zscore know I’m coming for his “team” lol soon that Pompous pric. Or maybe it’s already done ? I promise I’m your huckleberry Z
EG
Although UNKewLyingJ has cooled on this forum ever since his hero Dan the Man Druff called him out for lying and declared him lacking in credibility, over at GF.com he remains in a death struggle with everyone still trying to claim that he only lies about some things (not everything). This, after declaring repeatedly that he will never post at GF.com again. :rolleyes:
Still whining in a high pitched voice about how he lies "only to protect himself" but is silent on trying to explain how lying daily for months about a lawsuit involving his fictionalized backrooming incident somehow "protected" him? How, UNKewlJ, how? How does lying, then retracting the lies so that you're back at square one protect anything?
If he'd only make the small step of admitting that he lies only to try to back up his stories, he'd make a little progress towards believability. But he can't come clean in any way, because that is the nature of compulsive lying.

And no one says a thing. kettle, pot black....anyone?
I haven't "cooled" on this forum because of anything Dan Druff said. Christ, I admitted that I had made up the lawsuit part of the incident before Dan Druff ever said a word, so that has nothing to do with any reduced posting here on my part. The fact is this just isn't a forum about sharing gambling experiences and learning from other while they share their experiences. It just isn't. It is more like the third grade playground and "your mother wears army boots" mentality.
If I am not going to share my experiences and I definitely am not going forward, then there is simply no reason for me to participate much here. And that goes for Gambling Forums as well. In addition to Mdawg and Singer, at GF there is blackhole, the only person banned from here for trolling. Moses was banned for threats and singer for 6 months for racial slurs, but blackhole is the only person banned from WoV and here for trolling. And I am wasting time engaging with these people?
So you continue to do what you need to do to make you feel better, Mdawg. But just know that while no one is calling you out for it, there is not a single person on this forum, that doesn't KNOW that an already multi-millioniare, who claims to have won even more multi-millions of dollars from gambling, mostly voodoo and nonsensical claims and stories, obsessing over a mid-level advantage players, makes as much sense, as selling a 600k RV, sight unseen to an Israeli oversea. But again, do what you gotta do, to think you have won something...some internet forum troll war I guess.

This upward shift in the level of UNKewlJ deviousness is why for some time now he's been using sock puppets without later admitting that they were his. As far as the lying, his pattern since the beginning has been to deny. Finally recently he was caught dead to rights and admitted that series of ongoing lies he made for a few months.
I doubt he will ever deviate from this pattern of continuing lying, admitting only if cornered.
No one here is saying anything we don't already know, and the bottom line remains, as MaxPen has said, You can't get to the truth with a fraud, but when some of us keep after UNKewLyingJ the same way he has kept after his nonstop Lying at Length, he cries wolf, after having bit off more than he could chew.Quote:

Yes there are a lot of liars out there, but one who keeps at it, pretending (or maybe even believing?) that he's making headway, is more rare.

You say a lot of nonsense that shows that you're incapable of saying much of anything and sticking to it, but that's the nature of a compulsive liar. You say that you will no longer post at this or that forum. Recently you declared that you would no longer post anything more in the way of any experience and simply continue trolling. You also posted that you would never address MDawg or RobSinger again.Quote:

I can imagine your whiny indecisive self at the tables, putting your hand up to your cheek, "I just don't KNOW if I should hit or stay? Should I up the bet with a few more red chips or not? I'm soo lost." which is why it's been documented that you're low end video poker all the way, you created this blackjack persona to try to seem like a man about town, instead of an indecisive whiner.
https://www.gamblingforums.com/threa...22#post-124869
UnKewLyingJ, why don't you send some more whiny messages to people begging them to get bad ol' MDawg off your case. Obviously you can't fight your own battles.Quote:

THAT makes about as much sense as claiming to spread $100-$5000 playing double deck blackjack on the Las Vegas strip for 10 straight hours and winning 60K, while no one cares that would cost them their jobs. :cool:
How are things at the "mid 7 figure dollar" Las Vegas mansion you claimed to have purchased? :cool:
Tell us some more about Las Vegas basically comping and allowing a player to live 4 years in high end suites while he wins millions of dollars. :cool:
Pick up any hookers over the weekend, Mdawg? Hope it didn't cost you an arm and a leg....or the watch off that arm. :cool:
Meanwhile, I played the Las Vegas strip this weekend. Won one night. Lost another. Because THAT is how gambling and blackjack play REALLY works. You don't win 50 sessions in a row. You don't play 10 straight hours and win 60K. You don't spread 1-50 and have the very people that would lose their jobs not care.
Your gambling claims are bullshit Mdawg. It is as bullshit as 18 y.o. in a row, no offense to the late Alan Mendelson or his son who posts here.
I understand why you are so freaking angry that I dared say, your bullshit is not how things work. I understand that you are "giddy" with what you think this moment gives you.
It does nothing to change any of the facts stated above.
It does nothing to change you are a bullshitter much like and I think inspired by Rob Singers bullshit claims.
It does nothing to change that this isn't even your first go around. You have done this all before, at WoV using a previous handle.
It does nothing to change the fact that you are life long losing player, hell bent on writing some kind of fiction story otherwise.
So troll away, just another lifelong losing player who is apparently angry about that.
Just quote a few old posts, and UnkewLyingJ comes off the handles with a 10x multiplier response. :cool:
UNKewl definitely been on tilt nonstop all week! with thousand word as Rob Singer calls them, long-winded, rambling drama-laced "I NEED TO set the record straight or I'll go OUT OF MY MIND!" paragraphs that never seem to satisfy, as he then repeats the same things over and over again.
Again...Kettle meet pot. :DQuote:

That is because I am NOT a professional troll like you.Quote:

No real firsthand experience at anything - he also whines and pouts about how he thinks comps should work in Vegas, when he's never rated for better than a free hot dog.

Nor do I even like that kind of gay person. I broke up with a BF because he was too effeminate for me. So these two repeating this lie is just another case of two very insecure, homophobic assholes.Quote:

Now prior to that, a little indecision at the table is great cover. If Mdawg was a real winning player he would have learned and understood that. Take a hand like 16 vs dealer 10. One of the most common hands. Playing basic strategy and the normal index plays a player will be standing and hitting at different times. And because 16 vs 10 is such a common hand, that is easy for dealer and pit to see. It is a fairly big tell. So if a player acts indecisive and even says something "every time I hit this I lose" it is effective cover rather than just hitting at 0 and negative counts and standing on plus counts which becomes VERY obvious very quickly.
Exactly how much cover that buys, is debatable. There is an argument that the Eye in the sky doesn't hear anything said, so that is lost on them. BUT most evaluations requests come from the floor....the pit. So if that cover buys you anything at all, even a little bit of time, you can be out the door when playing shorter sessions, rather than going through an evaluation.
THAT is the basis of how longevity is achieved. But I wouldn't expect a guy that claims he plays double deck for 10 straight hours spreading 1-50 to have any idea about how real card counting and longevity works. :cool:
