"More importantly, mickey thought 8-4 was two games over .500. Argued about it. C'mon, man. Nothing can top that for math expertise. If GWAE ever has you on again, you can be sure I'll be calling in with that gem.'Nuff said." REDIETZ
Enjoyed it. Just when you forget the podcast is out there, another episode pops up. Every six weeks or so.
Listened to that today, very enjoyable & interesting. Thank you for doing.
Great podcast, thanks Mickey.
Just wanted to say thanks to Mickey for doing this interview and sharing the great stories. Also thanks to those on the forum that have checked out the episode.
Very refreshing especially for a forum such as this.
Regardless of everything I wrote over the years and all the raging battles I've been involved in (due to what I was trying to cover up, etc.) , I have ALWAYS believed what mickey said he does and I have ALWAYS believed what Bob Dancer claimed he was doing--although his extreme embellishments at times diluted much of it. Actually, you can tell by the flow of mickey's articulation about what he experienced that what he's explaining is very true.
My further belief is that he lives a far better and more satisfying life than the much older Dancer does and has. Yes Dancer blabs about making a ton of money and gifts, but mickey--regardless of his successfully recovered from medical issues--has neither the baggage of divorce or the big city slime affecting his life, as Dancer does. He wakes up to clear clean air, devoid of traffic jams, degenerate lost souls, or the comparative high cost of living in a hole like LV. There is truly something to be said for how he has chosen to approach this.
That's very noble of you, to finally admit, that those 2 are credible APs, who know there shit. I think Dancer, is slimy and his integrity is in question, but there's no doubt he knows what he's talking about, in the casino world. Also Mickey, rising from his drunken hobo days, to making a decent life for himself is commendable. Dancer on the other hand, came from a wealthy upbringing and had a massive head start in life financially, compared to the average plebe. Big difference between the two.
I am not an active member of this forum, so my perspective might be different, but when I make these episodes the thing I really enjoy is that everyone gets to choose their own life. And that's why I've really focused on having such a wide variety of people on. Because gambling is a profession that you both don't get pushed into, and also don't end up by accident, I think there are some great things you can observe about humans by listening to people who have worked hard to make gambling their life.
Spot on, there are all kinds of characters, from extreme to mainstream backgrounds in this industry. Many that are succesful, share certain common traits. Analytical skills, looking outside the box, stealth, above average to high IQ, independent, dealing with a lot of stoopid and obnoxious civilians and casino staff, adaptability to ongoing changes, massive variance with loosing weeks, sometimes but rarely losing months, willing to work odd and potentially longggg hours etc. It's takes a certain personality, to be able to do this for 20+years. It's a way of life and I think we live and breath it, on the regular.
Well, this isn't about gambling, per se. So, a few general comments.
Ozzy, are you out of your mind?
Another couple of, quotes that have to do with the mental health of gamblers. I have maintained, for a while now, that the so-called AP's are merely control freaks. I think, as always, control freaks have to turn their such passions inward, to an inward universe of cardboard and plastic games, and other such fantasies. Psychologically, merely normal human beings. But, nondescript, by any other measure as well. Opposed to a balanced set of well-rounded traits, in the middle, and, the compulsive gamblers, at the other end of the gambling spectrum.
Look, I've been waiting for just one independent academic or other professional to jump in with something about how special the so-called AP's are. Going on a decade now, but, still, even when the Wizard's forum was a bit popular, well, the big nothing.
Every one /everyone knows it all; yet, no thing /nothing is truly known by any one /anyone. Similarly, the suckers think that they win, but, the house always wins, unless to hand out an even worse beating.

Todd Haushalter doesn't know much. A typical "expert" that don't know jackshit. You'll starve to death playing slot tournaments. All I ever cared about in gambling was getting the money. What the psychologists write about it is irrelevant to me.
