Rob, you love to say this, but it is pure nonsense. I am thrilled for any players, advantage player or not, that actually wins. Have you ever seen me challenge mickeycrimm, axelwolf, jbjb, PositiveVariance or any of the other real players on any of the different forums? Admittedly, I just named some advantage players. But there are other players that are not AP's that will share some winnings and as long as it makes sense and doesn't defy anything, I am genuinely happy for them.
How about Monet? I don't know just what he even does anymore. One day he took offense that I called him an AP, but he sure appears to be playing with an advantage. But whether he is or not and despite the fact that he doesn't seem to like me very much, I am happy for him when he posts about his winnings. Here is another one: The late Alan Mendelson. I am pretty sure Alan wasn't an AP. He might have just touched on some AP stuff from time to time, but overall, clearly not an AP. But Alan clearly had some big wins and I was thrilled for him.
In addition, I am happy for people that do well and have accomplished success outside of advantage play and gambling. Alan is another good example. Alan's journalistic career was a little before my time, so I don't really know him from that, but apparently, he did well, make good money and by all accounts was successful in that field and had a good retirement/pension as a result. That was great for him. I couldn't have been happier for him. Former member here Blackhole always claimed he was successful outside of gambling. I never knew what, although he has recently revealed some details on another forum. I never challenged or doubted that he was successful in what he did. Good for him.
Even you Rob, you
claim you had a successful career in aerospace. Because it is known who you are, some of us looked into some stuff about you and found things that didn't seem to jive with your fantastic gambling claims, but I really have no idea about any aerospace career. I see no evidence of the success you claim, like property ownership you would expect to see and do see some things that would seem to contradict your claims of success, but if you did well in life outside of gambling, made some money in the aerospace industry and have a good retirement income....good for you. It is your gambling claims that defy math that I have challenged. And the same with this Mdawg. If he is a layer, born wealthy. Good for him. It is his gambling claims that I have a problem with because they defy math and the way things work.
AND I have challenged this for people that are AP's also. A guy on Norm's blackjack site, was a knowledgeable card counter. All of the sudden he escalated his claims and they no longer worked by the mathematics. They defied math. I challenged that and not that it matters but was later proven right.
So you are
very wrong Rob. I am not jealous of anyone, advantage players, or -EV recreational gambler, nor anyone that has does well outside of gambling/AP play. I know my place, and am very comfortable where I am and with what I have accomplished. I am not threatened nor envious of anyone else. I simply have a problem with people making bullshit claims that defy both the math and/or the way the casino industry works. Part of it is I don't like the misleading of people. The other part is that it is just disrespectful to any player that actually works hard at winning to have some ying-yang come along claiming I win, win, win, by voodoo type shit. You know...things like
"special plays" or
"the machines signaling hot and cold cycles". It's bullshit and it is also disrespectful to people that figure out and work hard at winning.
And don't give me this crap that you aren't reading my posts because they are too long. You read every word. You are obsessed with me. And it is apparent you read every word, because you will reference the things you supposedly didn't read at a later time.
You just aren't fooling anyone anymore Rob. And you haven't been for a long while.
