The Adventures of MDawg (in progress)

what do you think those tips did to the house edges percentages?

Tipping does not effect the house edge

Thanks for clearing it up...Bosox didn't understand that.

Says the idiot that apparently tried to rathole an orange chip and got caught. Trying that is someone that has NO clue.

I can hear the conversation now. Pit guy #1" "we are down an orange chip. Pit guy #2: "Frankenstein has it in his pocket".

If you have tipped out a lot a diligent pit boss will add it to your winnings via checking the entire tray.

Off course, they are constantly counting and tracking the buy-ins and the tray.

If thousands disappear from the table, they know where they went.

Who tried to rathole an orange chip?

You said "try rat holing an orange chip and see if they don't catch it". You were speaking from experience. You got caught.

Tipping has nothing to do with the house edge. The game doesn't know if you tipped the dealer or if you tipped housekeeping.

[coach belly]

You were speaking from experience.

Like I wrote earlier...you are a low IQ pinhead, with a child's imagination.

Haven't you ever observed the pit asking a player about chips in their pocket?

Does that mean they were asking you?

[MDawg]

Sorry but, I lump KewlJ in with all the other losers I try to avoid at the casino. I won so much at BJ that the only way they could stop me was by effectively banning me - limiting me to a 3X spread. And I never played anonymously.

KewlJ plays anonymously and gave up after a year in the red in BJ, no? That's what happens when you are an unlucky grinder. If you're getting twelves and thirteens all night who cares what the count is.

You would know, with your preoccupation and obsession with children.

Again, you'll find more suckers over at gamblingforums to buy your garbage.

The bottom line is that a tipper is, in fact, changing the odds for himself by voluntarily placing bets for the dealers based on the size of the tips!

Still doesn't affect the house edge. You of all people should know that the house edge is based on the remaining cards in the shoe. Not how much the player bets.

Since you asked, the answer is no. This is a lie you have repeated several times now.

My blackjack results for the year are slightly in the black. Yes, I had my worse year blackjack-wise due to less than half the rounds I normally play, and a significant portion of them at higher stakes, that variance wasn't very kind to me. Smaller number of trials at higher stakes is a formula for higher variance. It could be positive or negative. So happens it was negative for me.

Gave up? who gave up? I have supported myself for 17 years from blackjack play and a bit of other AP (mostly machine play). I have made just under 1.2 million from blackjack and approaching 1.5 million total from advantage play. No giving up. I'll be right back at it in 2021.

But you make a good point that I have always shared my losing and winning experiences. I have shared bad years like this barely in the black. I have shared a few years back when I made about 1/3 of expectation. I have shared months long losing periods. Because that is the way gambling works.....there is variance and losing periods! You lose some, you win some. If you are playing with an advantage you will win more than you lose in the long run. And that is why anyone with half a brain recognizes I am telling the truth.

Sure I may rub some people the wrong way (sideways instead of up and down ) and people will fight with me and call me names because they don't like my personality on forums, but deep down almost everyone recognizes I am legit because the math works and my experiences are just what they should be, up and down.

But some egotistical nut job like you comes along claiming to win all the time, every session, playing -EV, there is no one that believe that because it defies math and reality. Some people might humor you and enjoy the clown show for entertainment purposes, but even they don't believe the great "adventures" of hucklberry MDawg.

Bosox didn't say "change the house edge". He said change the odds for himself, meaning the player disadvantage. I don't want to get into another tipping debate, but tipping increases the disadvantage that a player must overcome. Period. If you are tipping, it is exactly the same as playing with an ante (like Oklahoma and other places). Player is going to have to win more to overcome that.

You have your story completely wrong about KJ. That last sentence you wrote is really stupid. For any real AP a session result winning or losing means nothing. Knowing the count determines the size of the next bet and how he plays his hand, unlike whatever methods a baccarat player uses. such as streaks and trends.

Yes, I did say it in an earlier post, only to further clarify myself shortly after.

What is your point? Yes I was in the red on Sept 23. I was in the red as late as the first week in October. By the end of October, I was slightly in the black ($8837.50) and stopped for the year, not because of any results, but because covid cases were dramatically increasing and in my opinion blackjack tables are not a safe place to be. Outside of my comfort zone.

So again, what is your point? That I was behind on Sept 23 and most of the year. And you know that how? Because I am honest with my results winning and losing and don't just claim to win every session like some fairytale.

[BoSox]

Well, what the guy Bosox is trying to say in a roundabout manner is that if I place two grand for my bet, and fifty bucks on the side for the dealer, if I win I will get 2000 whereas if I lose I will lose 2050. But as I have explained, I am an end results player. If my goal is to win three grand or five grand or whatever the target, I will stop when I get to that goal. I will not have 3000 + whatever I tipped or 5000 + whatever I tipped in front of me at the end if I had not tipped. So from my perspective, tipping doesn't affect my bottom line. At worst it may take a few seconds longer to reach my goal.

No, what the guy Bosox is trying to say is that your tipping strategy / claims makes your already impossible claims even less likely.

Correct.

ok, I stand corrected.

[coach belly]

Bosox didn't say "change the house edge".

He implied that it did. Here is the thread.

He even stated that when he was often betting large his tips also became large, what do you think those tips did to the house edges percentages?

How could tipping affect the house edge?

WHAT!
