The Adventures of MDawg (in progress)

[kewlJ]

I also believe that will happen. After all, what are forum members left to think, if the incredible self-proclaimed winner who rejects and denies play-witnesses, was forced into posting about a phony loss in the hope of converting doubters?

Remember your claimed $28k loss??
Just sayin'.....

Rob, I have shared my experiences, winning, losing, backoffs, all sorts of different experiences for a decade on different forums, long before I came here and you know of me. I actually don't share too much here, because there just aren't many (blackjack) players here that can benefit and only a few fellow AP's that are even interested. So I keep that to a minimum, but I do share experiences that are new or unusual to me, meaning I haven't gone through before.

Now if I recall, the 28k loss was a week for me. I have bad weeks or runs all the time. What made that stand out for me, if I am not mistaken is that it was very early in the year, like my second week in January. Not the way you want the year to start and that 28k in the red pops out at you. I think it may have also involved 2 consecutive (or 2 out of 3) 10k losing days, which is also very unusual for me. At my level of play, I only experience 3 or 4, 10k losing days a year, so to have 2 consecutive or several days apart, was very rare for me (don't think it has happened before or since), so I shared it.

Just stop with your silliness, Rob. You don't like me and that is fine. But don't try to re-write history. I share my journey accurately......at least as much as I can without harming myself, sometimes more than I should. People can believe or not believe. Honestly doesn't matter to me. If they don't understand or are honestly mis-representing something, I will try to explain or correct.

[kewlJ]

I have to give you credit for the escalation prediction, kewlJ. That's the proper analysis, I think. It's an attention issue. The previous amounts being wagered by MDawg were okay, but they weren't all that.

The amounts also are something that don't matter one bit to me. If this Mdawg person was born into a wealthy family and money, or even made a lot of money on his own, power to him and can bet large, power to him.

I am only interested that the claims can't be! One of the things that can't be is the amounts he is talking, while much larger than I can play (actually, that isn't really even true, my limitations are more about casino tolerance as to what I do), but his amounts don't work. Cosmo, Bellegio, Wynn, Venetian are not giving a player high end suites for months at a time, for those amounts. A comped room? Maybe. Especially as Vegas has been slow and is just now getting back to normal, but not the high end suites he is claiming for months on end. AND they would not continue to do so if the player continues to win, theo or not.

There comes a point where they say something isn't right. And this guy has been posting these reports and claims for several years and even claims to have won every year for 20 years. Anyone that thinks the high end casinos is giving high end suites to a player that has won for 20 years, just doesn't have a clue about how the casino industry works in Las Vegas.

So even before you get into ALL the winning, (what is it like 100 winning sessions vs 2 losing sessions over the last 2 trip?), other parts to the story and claims, simply don't ring true.

[kewlJ]

And in catching up a bit today, I forgot to mention the most glaring thing this fool, Mdawg said. He figured out his big losing session was due to receiving a phone call from a buddy that he considers an unlucky person. You just can not make this shit up! (where is the rolling on the floor, laughing so hard, you choke emoji?)

KJ, I believe Singer is saying that for all he knows your many years of bJ play as reported by you on various gambling boards may in fact be baloney, given your anonymity and his inability to independently confirm your claims.

KJ, I believe Singer is saying that for all he knows your many years of bJ play as reported by you on various gambling boards may in fact be baloney, given your anonymity and his inability to independently confirm your claims.

Well he may be right MisterV.

Seriously the difference is Math. Here is the way I look at it. If a person makes claims, and the math works, I don't say a word, even if I have reason not to believe the person. But if the math doesn't work, in other words, the person is claiming to be able to levitate and fly around the world....yeah they are going to have to show a little something.

Now back to people making claims that I may not believe (and the math isn't defied). Everyone is entitled to decide for themselves and that is what credibility is...does this person know what they are talking about or are they usually just talking and things don't add up.

If Rob or anyone else, concludes that I really don't know what I am talking about as far as blackjack card counting and particularly doing so in Vegas, that is absolutely fine with me. They are a bad judge of character, but I am fine with that. But you and I both know that is usually not what happens. The people that challenge me do so because they don't like me, don't like how I can be a little abrasive on forums, don't like my sexuality, don't like successful AP's that I am one of, one guy and I won't mention his name, doesn't like me because I share my experiences and results.

[MisterV]

Indeed.

The more we dwell on these board it seems the more likely we are to form hidebound opinions and to attack those who disagree with us.

2 takeaways from Rob's above ramblings.

1.) Rob continues to try to push the erroneous narrative, that while players can win playing -EV over a very short period of time, this can be duplicated over and over, resulting in long-term winning. The best example against what Rob is claiming continues to be that it is very possible to walk into a casino and win 3 of 4 rounds of roulette betting black. But try doing that every day for a year.

2.) I guess Rob is now saying that his longterm -EV winning claims, which he has pushed as a legitimate winning strategy for years, are now due to his results being on the far outer edges of the bell curve, rather than a legitimate winning strategy. I guess that is a concession that these claimed winnings are not really possible via a legitimate winning strategy.

I get a kick out of how people who are facing down the end of their lifespans argue tooth and nail that how they have lived (and gambled) was THE RIGHT WAY, even if it was all bullshit and losing and not knowing what the hell they were doing half the time. Play those parlays, boys.

Here's the "Singer" absurdity for the day. He's lecturing kewlJ about not being prepped to live comfortably beyond the age of 50. Yet somebody in his 70's is gallivanting around in a not-a-Newell day after day after day. So kewlJ is supposed to aspire to being trapped in 300 square feet of space on the nation's pot-holed highways in perpetuity? Kewlj's life is supposed to be the anomaly, according to "Singer."

It might not be your cup of tea but RV sales have skyrocketed over the past year. Companies reporting 30% increase in sales.

Those Newell level RV's out there are huge black holes you throw money down. I think a lot of people have downsized to 5th wheels to cut expenses after going whole hog with big expensive fuel guzzling RV's.

[MisterV]

Are they any viable EV RV's out there yet?

That wasn't really my point, mickey.

I actually don't have any issue with road living. I have watched videos by some people who go on US walkabouts, only the walkabouts are in their cars. They live in their cars while touring the country, some for a year or more. More power to them.

What I find absurd is when "Singer" tries to categorize one way of living (the "RV Life" for folks in their 70's) as normal and healthy while trying to categorize townhouse ownership by a young guy in LV as the anomaly.

[kewlJ]

Couple years ago, I was talking to an older dude and his wife, 60ish, at Sam's Town (LV) while in line at the buffet. They were staying in the RV Park at Sam's Town. I forget where they were from, but they came every year a couple days after Xmas and stayed until April. At the time I was thinking something like that might be fun, plus traveling around seeing different parts of the country. But I think I would be tired of that kind of living after about a week.

And I don't think it would be economical at all. Whether a pull behind type thing or full blown RV, you are going to get crappy gas mileage. And it seems like those things depreciate like mad. Then you still gotta go to the grocery story and cook meals. When the time comes, I think I would rather just travel around the country, staying in decent hotels and eating out. That's just me.

That's some straight fucking hobo logic right there.....lmao

Everyone knows the Rolls Royce driver is worried about miles per gallon.....lol

Next thing you know people will be trading in their private jets for hanggliders.

I lived in a travel trailer for 2 years when I was single and absolutely loved it. The compactness and comfort, along with versatility made it perfect for my needs. Later on, my wife and I loved the weekends at the lake with her parents.

"I think" is what you wrote. You came to a moronic conclusion and now you want to blame that on RV'ers...(insert hobo laugh here)BWAHAHAHA

[kewlJ]

Oh good, Porkchop is back posting. I was afraid someone took him deep into the desert and left him there.

I haven't gone hang-gliding, but my brother has talked me into going skydiving and camping out in the grand canyon and death valley. All things I could have been very comfortable going through life without. I don't like to say no and seem like a pussy, so I end up doing stupid shit and hating him for a few days. Let's hope he never gets around to hang-gliding.

[kewlJ]

Back to Mfraud. Today he has made a number of incorrect statements about blackjack. He just seems to make shit up to suit his needs (a 600 page thread now )

So Mdawg posted that there is no way to get an advantage in blackjack flat bettings because the player doesn't have the option to not bet. The Player most certainly DOES have the option to not bet. It is called wonging out. You exit negative counts and look for better opportunities.

In addition, card counting is not the only advantage play in blackjack. Hole-carders like jbjb most certainly can and do play with an advantage while flat betting. Feel free to weigh in jbjb.

And finally, while I am not a proponent of multi-level counts or side counts, if a player has access to decent single deck games (Reno) and there really is only one serious player I know of that plays that regularly, Moses, such a count could be enough to flip the game to a slight player advantage while flat betting. I think most players would still use a small spread, but the game can turn advantageous by count alone.

So the idiot (mdawg) that said anyone claiming to play blackjack at an advantage by flatbetting shouldn't be believed as to anything else they say is wrong as usual. It is he (mdawg) who shouldn't and now isn't believed as to anything he says because he gets almost everything wrong. He makes it all up as he goes.

Of course the great Wizard has removed and restricted anyone who might correct these things (at Mdawg's request) giving this idiot free reign to make shit up and mislead people.

[MisterV]

The Wiz has been about as useful as shit on a plow handle when it comes to either debunking or exonerating Mdouche.

An odd wizard.

It is MORE than that MisterV. I am welcome to participate at WoV, but restricted from one thread (at Mdawgs request). Name me one other time that has happened?

You will also note that Axelwolf, also a big critic of Mdawg because the things Mdawg says are not true and can't be, has been silenced. Axel has been suspended about 4 times over the Mdawg situation and as of late has all but disappeared. I am guessing behind the scenes he was told to lay off Mdawg.

Wizards allowing this to continue is more than "odd". Based on how he jumped at the measly $500 to witness Mdawg and has now met with Mdawg, one can't help but wonder if Mdawg hasn't paid Mike directly to protect him now. And that is 100% Wizards doing by failing to be objective and transparent. He opens himself up to that kind of thing. But what can't be denied is that Mdawg has made a mockery of Wizard, WoV and the math behind gambling and Wizard for whatever reason, is now part of it.

[coach belly]

You exit negative counts and look for better opportunities.

What is the player's mathematical advantage for hands that he bets zero?
