#1 Does Moses really know much about blackjack? (A thread started by Midwestplayer) The short answer is no, he really doesn't. Very little knowledge about the blackjack games of 2019 that most players, whether AP or not play. And Moses has a complete lack of understanding of many concepts that a serious blackjack player, let alone someone claiming to be a professional player would have.
What Moses does have is some understanding and knowledge of the single deck (non 6:5) games that are still available in Reno. This game is a dinosaur, a throwback to the 1980's and likely will disappear from even Reno in the very near future. Anyone making it their priority to specialize in this game, will soon be out of business.
In addition, I made a 3 day visit to Reno in the past 2 weeks. Not to look up Moses or anything. Just to expand my rotation a bit. It has been a while since I have played Reno and I actually have been meaning to hit it up for a while. That short trip, reaffirms my position based on earlier visits that nobody, and I mean nobody can play Reno on a regular basis, for any kind of meaningful stakes. The concept of a player, making a living playing the small, sweaty games that are Reno is just unrealistic. Players can swing into Reno for a few days here and there and get some play in, especially during weekends, but it won't last long at anything but $5 red chip play. I myself was backed off on my final day of this trip twice. Once one back off occurs you are done everywhere for the time being as casinos communicate, even among unrelated properties.
Item #2. Are Moses and Tater the same person? I mean really, some here are buying the ridiculous story that Tater is a homeless friend that Moses allows to post on his cellphone? Do you think some homeless guy's top priority is posting on VCT?And even if it was, why does anyone have the slightest interest in what some homeless drunk says or thinks that hangs out in a sportsbook by day and sleeps under the bridge at night.
But for those delusional enough to believe this ridiculous charade by Moses, there is an analytical program that analyzes posts made by supposedly different people and analyzes the probability that they are the same person. Ironically enough this program was first brought to my attention by a sort of outcast member of the BJ community, who just happens to own the forum, that Moses is the sole member talking to himself. So anyone wanting access to this program contact that gentleman. But this program analyzed the probability that Moses and Tater are one in the same at better than 99.9%. That happens to be the highest it will go. It never says 100%. So those of you not seeing that Moses and the great homeless tater are one and the same, well...you simply don't want to see and accept that. Tater is a figment of Moses imagination...plain and simple.
Item #3. Tasha started a post that Moses should be allowed back here because he apologized and is ready to behave less erratically. The funny think about this Tasha post, shortly after Tasha posted it, Moses quoted Tasha's post and exclaimed it to be completely untrue. He emphatically re-affirmed he is not sorry for anything, the physical threats, the threatening to find and out a known advantage player to casino personnel...and this last one should not be tolerated on any forum that has any hope of having legitimate advantage players, whether professional or recreational, participate on it's forum.
Now I am NEVER coming back to this forum to participate in any meaningful manner that might benefit anyone else. I am done with that. So I really don't care if Moses returns to this forum or stays in his silly little spot where he is the only poster talking to himself. And by the way for those visiting that silly little site to read Moses, you probably noticed that authorities shut down that forum for a period last weekend until the owner complied with providing information they requested about this very situation.
But since Dan Druff has repeatedly shown that he values quantity or quality, that he is only interested in traffic and not substance, He should allow Moses back. Since Moses makes a million posts a day, talking to himself and answering every single post made by anyone else, it would greatly increase the number of posts, which again is all Dan Druff and actually many of these forum owner/administrators care about. They are not in this for quality, they are in it for traffic.
