The Adventures of MDawg (in progress)

[MDawg]

Hello MDawg fans. I will be posting mostly where the Alexa rank is highest, which, especially given that I am posting there again, is WOV, but also GA. Be sure to follow my Adventures at these higher traffic forums.

Off topic posts and gambling strategies will be made at the other very low traffic forum TP I started posting at in November 2019.

Cheers!

Wait you are telling your tales at Gamblers Anonymous?

One advantage to this scene taking place in summer, I can follow this up with a clean exit, there's no fumbling around getting your coat and galoshes, I just saunter into the electric eye in my white shirt..., and the door heaves itself open, and outside the sunshine is skating around on the asphalt.

Well, except for that I have to clear up the typo about GF. Damn.

What forum is TP?

[MDawg]

"Like the JP Morgan says," if you have to ask....

An AP may wonder about MDawg's bragging.

I have been playing blackjack for a long time now, and the last six or seven years played completely unrated. Those seven years only represent about 20% of my actual playing years. Many years I also played rated at certain places and eventually it was cut down to only one casino being rated (flat bettings and barring) until I completely stopped being rated alltogether.


After building up a playing bank from playing lower stakes part-time and somewhat overbetting my bankroll, fortunately, early on, I received a lot of positive variance I then moved up, and eventually played many years in high limit rooms (as I still do today part time) and received wonderful comps that were at a extremely much higher scale than my normal lifestyle but nowhere on par with what MDawg has displayed in his post. Off hours at certain times depending on the day I infrequently played at a reserved table, if I wanted which I mostly refused, as I really did not like playing alone, as I preferred someone else to help eat up some of the shit counts.

However, concerning those great comps that I received was only enjoyed by me for a very short time frame (under a year) even though I received this great treatment for years which requires further explaining. After a certain time frame the player realizes you are not getting all of this for free YOU F----- EARNED every cent of it, as you are giving the casino a shot at a lot of your money. Essentially that's when you realize (hopefully quickly) that whatever you are receiving in comps should be expected by you and is no longer overly enjoyed, or a big deal at all. Which evidentially MDawg has not realized this underlining fact, or is a phony as I tend to believe. Why would someone who has been around and knows the ropes, post about luxury comps they are receiving knowing full well that they were all earned anyway. An Ap would have looked at this as just receiving what you are entitled to,(just one positive benefit of doing business) and should be no big deal or have any reason for posting about it.

I don't know, BoSox, the ribs pics MDawg posted look to be worth it, no matter the losses. Wouldn't you say? Mmmmmmmmmm-mmmmmmm.

Kind of like those wings without sauce in Owning Mahoney. Mmmmm-mmmmm. Can't beat dry rub, whether ribs or wings or someone pulling your.....

Weird. Just plain weird.

[redietz]

Nothing upsets a liar more than someone else doing a parody of a liar.

Instead of glitches, pics of retro CB's, and pics of a tiny garage, MDawg gives us reading the card flow, suites, and shaving gear. Tough to tell which is more convincing.

This is why it's simple to deduce that if anyone ever really married this guy then they would most certainly take the sure & permanent way out. And his reason for soliciting me with his "sure thing locks"? Take a guess.

Further clarification of my opinion on MDawg's questionable posts:

Just to make a point let's leave all of his comp dinners out of this for the moment. Here is a man that is averaging a few thousand dollars a hand playing baccarat, anyone think that he cannot afford to pay a few hundred bucks for a dinner? If he is telling the truth what is the big deal of getting a free dinner that he could easily afford to pay for? In reality a free gourmet meal should be an after thought to him. Although having the need to publicize all of this on various gaming boards makes one wonder if he actually fits the profile. Not to mention the need to show pictures of all the fancy watches for whatever purpose is beyond me. I don't believe for an instant he is anything close to what he claims.

Okay the many meals I received was fine as far as that goes but that was insignificant, and a after taught to the very real grinding work that was and is involved in trying to get a small positive edge while putting on some kind of facade that will hopefully allow you to to be welcomed back the next time.

Maybe MDawg is just exceedingly charming, you know, like our glitch-playing friend with the magic system.

Terrific point BoSox.

[monet]

Terrific point BoSox.

Many players were able to cheat the comp system for over 20 years.
It isn't as easy anymore but it is still possible to get rated incorrectly.
They have been hip for 5 to 10 years and have made adjustments.

My point is that a player should find ways to be rated incorrectly.
You want to be rated high with close to break even play or better.
Easier said than done.

My point is that I enjoyed many comps that I really never should of had.
When you are getting 2500 or more in Free Play and 500 Comp for Free it is kinda a big deal.
Multiply it by 3, 5, or 10 and well... you get my point.
Nothing new here... just mentioning it.

As I type this, I can say definitively that there are VP machines (in a non-Las Vegas shop) on the floor that count points as if they are slots (I will run my card on these since this is a no-heat-for-vulturing shop). Not the best pay tables in the world, but much better than the 85%-90% RTP of slots. I remember you mentioning these sorts of glitches about the Las Vegas market in some of your posts and it is absolutely true in other markets as well and a great way (IMHO) to generate comps and free play on points multiplier days and certain free play promos.

Tableplay, I cannot believe you don't buy MDawg's stories. Once upon a time, I was an unbeliever, also. But then I saw the ribs. And the shaving gear. And the luggage. And now I am ready to be a trainee.

Just give in, tableplay. It's all about reading the cards. And tuna in the room.

I'm just waiting....MDawg has a hot wife. I'm not asking for a full on pic. But maybe a shot of some calves would be a great tease. Calves and ribs. A veritable meat market.

I am a big fan of fiction (in this case winning a lot of money consistently at Baccarat) Redietz - I enjoy Mdawg's pictures of piles of cash, hi-denom chips and expensive watches along with the surrounding narrative, so I hope he will keep posting them. Monet astutely points out the possibility that Mdawg is an expert comps grifter (huge comps and over-rating for near-even play), and that may be (I think it is unlikely, but that does not mean it's not happening that way)- but what is for certain (due to the law of large numbers) is that he is not getting his cash from winning at Baccarat in the long run. Anyway, I think he can now post again at WOV, so I doubt we will see much from him here at VCT. If he wants to post pictures of his wife in a g-string with stilettos on, I won't complain.

[coach belly]

Are you certain that MDawg has not won what he has claimed in the recent trip reports, that his reported results were fabricated?

Is there any documentation that MDawg could post on VCT or WOV that would confirm that he has been winning at Baccarat in the long run?

I think it would be impossible to prove that he is winning at Baccarat in the long run. The keyword in the rest of your post is "recent". He could selectively omit losing sessions also. In the long run he cannot make money at baccarat playing straight up (edge-shorting or using some other non-standard method is a different matter) because the casino has a 1.4% edge IIRC. If the law of large numbers doesn't exist, then you must figure out how casinos are making money in the long run and staying in business - even after paying all their staff, government fees (taxes, etc.) and property expenses. The betting entity that has the edge will make money in the long run - whether it is the casino who is the entity or the player. Since there is no player edge in Baccarat playing straight-up, then it is the casino which accrues a net profit in the long run. Now there are side-bets such as the Draqon side bet in EZ Baccarat which are countable, but this is not what we're talking about here.
