what % of the statements that people make on forums such as these regarding the money they have made are true and not misleading?
by misleading I mean, for example, somebody posts that they made $4K at casino A on Thursday, but leaves out the part where they lost $5K at casino B on the same day.
my best guess would be about 15% of what is stated is actually true and not misleading.
what would your guess be?
To be fair, people don't like talking about their losses, only their wins. YouTube uploaders get respect when they post videos where they actually lost rather than just their wins. I remember a YouTube uploader posting a video where his very first spins were actually good and then they became dead spins and he ended up losing all or most of his money. A poster wrote something like,"I admire and respect that you posted a realistic session, the one that started off as good and then got really bad fast, and you lost. I'm getting sick of slot videos with only big wins so your losing video is a breath of fresh air. :)
Ploppies say myriad things about how they do in casinos. From the lady that plays the 90% slots and says she always does well to the guy that plays blackjack and says "How do you like the carpet? I payed for it."
It's common knowledge that no one wins every spin they ever spun and those who say every spin they ever spun was a winner is a downright dastardly liar. ;)Quote:

I've never had a losing year. I'm at +68K so far for this year. Biggest jackpots? A $4400 royal. 2nd biggest is $1487 on a harley. That should tell you something. I'm not just hitting a big jackpot then calling myself a professional. I'm a consistently winning grinder.Quote:

I won $100K last year on my sports bet. That's right 50-0. Unfortunately, my kids inheritance didn't fair so well. They lost $70K and were 0-35.:cool: That's a joke Alan. lolQuote:

Also funny is how other ap's readily accept whatever mickeycrimm asserts at face value, when everybody knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that his schtick on forums over the past decade has been to make up gambling story after gambling story while on serious alcohol medication.
And BTW, everybody who plays nickel and quarter keno and VP at Indian casinos is "up $68k" in August. :)
Rob, IF you had any success, and that's a hugeeeeeeee if, it's no different than some schlub ploppie winning the Powerball jackpot. Your stupid strategy had NOTHING to do with it.Quote:

Well, I tell you Alan. It's work. Dang hard word. But great benefits. I don't want to get caught up in that whole AP, years of being a pro, cult, and it's not what you know, it's who you know way of thinking. Bottom line is I find my game, at my price, and play it within their tolerance. I compete my ass off for about 1500 hands a week. The game is merely an extension of practice. The profit's are rewards for the hard work to gain logic and knowledge. It's the old tomato is a fruit spin.Quote:

And in order for you to assert that, you'd have to know it perfectly. So explain it in detail right here and if you do, you'd be the first critic ever to actually do that. Otherwise, it's just ap blind judgement.Quote:

Rob you are only writing about yourself.
Thanks MC. I learned something new today. Hmmm. I looked it up. You just described 95% of the people in a sportsbook on NFL Sunday. OF course, we always called it HiA syndrome. But now we can use the letters DK and that will prove it. :eek:Quote:

Other than him...its all just a single report for a single point in time withno way to extrapolate any info from it.
Its like a kid reporting on a kids website that he got an A on his history test....even though he had previous failing semesters.
Damn Coach, when did you get so lighthearted? You used to make us run windsprints until we puked. :cool: On the line...toot!
Not that there is anything wrong with that?:eek:Quote:
