Welcome to the forum, tominnv. Seems like you have things pretty well figured out as to coach belly. But just in case, here is what the owner of this forum recently said of coach belly. Obviously he was speaking about coach belly trolling on behalf of Rob Singer, but the same goes for coach belly trolling on behalf of Mdawg. Belly just cozy ups to these different nut jobs and their fantasy claims and plays second fiddle trolling for them. Like Dan Druff said, coach belly doesn't really believe a word of what he writes. No sane person would.
It is best to just put him on ignore like most do, so you don't have to even read is drivel.
Yes, welcome to the forum tominnv.
Don't be put off by my or others comments: this is a crucible of conflict, but that ain't bad.

It occurs to me that the reason UnKewlJ is so complacent about ending up in the red last year and quitting blackjack, is that he must be back on the dole. That's right - unemployment.
I actually see no issue with his collecting unemployment. Just with his constant lying.
I tell you it’s wonderful to be here, man. I don’t give a damn who wins or loses. It’s just wonderful to be here with you people.

I'm really sorry to piss all over your ruby red slippers but KJ said he was only eligible for unemployment during the time the Las Vegas casinos were all closed due to Covid-19; his eligibility ended when they reopened.
They're still open so far as I know.
As a tax paying professional gambler he's ineligible to collect unemployment so long as the casinos remain open.
For a self-proclaimed lawyer you don't seem to know much about the law.

Some lawyers are close readers. Others not.
But whether he believes he could re-open his claim or does not believe that he could, an employee could file an unemployment claim even if his place of employment is wide open for business. I mean, is it so difficult to imagine scenarios where he might be eligible? pandemic or no pandemic. In any case the bases for a PUA claim are not necessarily foreclosed by the place of business' being open.
Other than what the others are saying,

why do you keep trying to stick up for UnKEwlJ anyway? He himself claims he could continue to get unemployment.

Ok, so it went like this. My brother and I signed up for and collected unemployment for 11 weeks that the casinos were closed, just as the new laws or regulations allowed. It took DTER (that is the unemployment service or office here in Nevada), like 6 or 7 weeks to get it all ironed out, maybe 8, but we eventually got all 11 weeks. I don't feel bad or guilty or even embarrassed about collecting unemployment while casinos were closed. Anyone trying to embarrass or shame me on that is barking up the wrong tree. I think it is fantastic that they expanded eligibility to include self employed and gig workers, all whom were thrown out of work at a moments notice due to no fault of there own.
So when casinos re-opened in June, I claimed no more weeks because I went back "to work". Shortly after going back I stopped playing feeling uncomfortable with the casino environment, especially the blackjack tables as at the time masks were not required. Then masks became a requirement and I started again. Stopped and started a couple times during the summer and fall, once for a little complication from my covid illness and eventually stopped playing in early November, although I played a couple more sessions into Decembers just to use some match play chips/coupons. And haven't played since.
I think I might have been able to re-open my claim at almost any time after I stopped filing filing in June. Not sure but I think so and I think the process is easier than opening the initial claim. I think you just start filing again for individual weeks. I may be wrong. I haven't looked into it although I have thought about it a few times.
It just doesn't seem right to me at this time. It is different than when casinos were closed. Right now casinos are open and I am "choosing' not to play. That should be on me, the way I see it. I think the powers that be were fair in allowing professional gamblers to be eligible during the time casinos were closed and I don't want to abuse that. I have money to hold me over until whenever I start again, hopefully in the next month or two.
Now just getting into a hypothetical. Lets say someone was a restaurant worker and they filed when their restaurant closed. After their restaurant re-opened, I am guessing (don't know for sure, so anyone can feel free to correct me), that if they were higher risk and really didn't feel comfortable going back to that restaurant work environment, they would still be eligible to collect, especially under these somewhat relaxed rules and eligibilities. That is why I think I could probably still be collecting, but I just don't want to.
At that point technically you are really crossing over from some sort of unemployment claim situation to what should be a disability situation, uncomfortable with the work environment for health reasons. I don't know. But I am fine with my situation. I was eligible and collected when casinos were closed and currently am "choosing" not to work. To me that is not an unemployment situation.
Thanks for the clarification.

Despite that I have your ass blocked, I sometimes see some things you post, either through quotes, or if I view the site from my phone with out logging in. Unfortunately that is the way it works.
So I am going to respond to this because I think it is important. I am sure you will make me regret that decision.
I already posted about unemployment. I am not on it current. I collected my 11 weeks when casinos were closed. I have thought about reopening my claim and seeing what happens recently, but haven't done so. Well see what happens in the next month or so with vaccines and me getting back to the casinos to earning a living. If it is going to be months and months down the road, I might look into it. And I really am not embarrassed about that. But right now I am not collecting and haven't been since casinos re-opened.
So my issue with your repeated lies about my year have nothing to do with that. The problem is that it is a lie. I am not a math guy that is going to have some new super duper counting method of card counting or advantage play. I just go by the old, antiquated but still viable method of card counting with a few little twists that I have incorporated. So being that I am not a math guy that is going to be sharing any grand new hocus pocus way of winning, I have always just tried to share my journey of being a mid-level grinder type card counter. And I have shared in as much detail as I can without doing real harm to myself. I like to say I have shared the good, the bad and the ugly.
And this year was ugly, but it wasn't a losing year. I was in the red as late as early October, which is a new unpleasant experience for me, but I pulled into the black low 5 figures my final month or so. Now had I had an entire year in the red, I would have shared it. I know other players that have. No shame. Unlike other AP methods with higher advantages and lower variance, blackjack card counting is a high variance deal. Anyone that gets into it has to understands that and be able to deal with that. So maybe some year I will have a losing year, but it wasn't this year and I really don't appreciate you repeatedly lying about it. I mean seriously, if you are going to lie about that, and continue to do so even after I have corrected you, why should anybody believe anything you say.
If you absolutely feel the need to bust on me and put me down for having a significantly below expectation year, at least be honest about. I mean, hey I made less from blackjack (14k) than a fast food worker. If it somehow makes you feel better to put me down, do that, but at least be honest....that's all I ask.
Everyone on here says that UnKewlJ is a serial liar. Even if they didn't, that he can't 'fess up to that I've proven my wins 2018 - 2020, shows me that he's a liar. Liars lie - and that he's admitted to ending in the red in 2020, and giving up means that he lost more than just that year, too.
I tell you it’s wonderful to be here, man. I don’t give a damn who wins or loses. It’s just wonderful to be here with you people.
