Must be from the all the stress of having to wait for another stimulus check.
As usual Rob Chiming in when he hasn't a clue what he is talking about.
If there is another stimulus check right now, I wouldn't qualify. I did receive a check earlier this year back in March because that was based on my 2018 income, which was a bit below my average and allowed me to qualify. A second check now would be based on 2019, which was significantly better for me and I wouldn't qualify. Now if the second check gets pushed back past the first of the year or there is a third check next spring based on 2020 taxes, I will qualify and will be sure to do my taxes early so I do qualify. And I don't feel the slightest bit guilty about it.
Now as for Christopher Mitchell having a JOB. Nowhere does it say that. Since you seem to want to support him, when you know nothing of this situation, please tell us all what his job is? He lists himself as an entrepreneur and a "principal" in a company that doesn't seem to legally exist. What we do know is that he makes money from his youtube videos and previously made money from gay porn. Are these the JOBS and income sources you are rushing to endorse?
The youtube thing, as I have stated, I have no idea how that works. I don't begrudge anyone making money legally. I am not thrilled if they are pushing disinformation or mis-information that may harm others to do so, which appears to be the case here, but I am not going to make it a crusade.
I am not a expert at blackjack....never claimed to be. Believe it or not I like to think I am still a student and learning the game. Not how to play the game, but how to successfully win at the game. I learn from new experiences each and every year, including this very "trying" year.
But let me leave you with 2 thoughts.
1.) progressive wagering
cannot turn a losing (-EV) game into a winning (+EV).....period!!! Can't do it in blackjack as Christopher is proposing. Can't do it with your claims in video poker! It is a mathematical impossibility.
and 2.) Blackjack is about the worst game to even try a Martingale or any progression system because the player does not win anywhere close to 50% of outcomes. It is 42% for a player playing an optimal, but still losing basic strategy. And what Christopher Mitchell is describing is far from optimal. As he describes it, he is probably playing at a 10% or more disadvantage. Progressive wagering can't overcome a 1/2 percent disadvantage (blackjack basic strategy or common video poker payouts), it sure as hell can't overcome 10% disadvantage. Christopher's "special plays", just like your "special plays" don't change the math.....
Progressive wagering cannot overcome -EV! Math Rob....MATH!
jbjb said you should have a youtube channel. He is right, you would fit right in with these guys. What you do is exactly the same thing. Might as well get paid for your ridiculous and impossible claims. Go for it Rob.
