Thread: Copy of letter sent to multiple casinos

  1. #1
    Not sure where this will place me with people I counted as friends, but I’ll live either way. Or I won’t as I always said.

    Hello, I am (redacted) a shareholder of your publicly traded stock, which includes casinos in Las Vegas. I have no proof these claims are legitimate or are simply internet claims. But as someone who has a vested interest in my retirement based on the performance of your stock, I feel I need to report this to your security. As a backup to any potential collusion between your security and operational staff, I am also sending a copy of this this to the Nevada Gaming Board.

    I have become aware through Internet forums of an individual named (redacted) who claims to have been beating a negative expectation game at your casino at will. Again, I have no documented evidence this is true and believe this is internet claims for a reason I don’t understand. However this individual listed above has hired a well know individual Michael Shackleford to verify his claims. Mr. Shackleford is a well known gambling math expert who has UNLV qualifications. While he appears to under a non disclosure agreement with (redacted) it appears he substituted (redacted) claims and abilities to have a method to win at will from your casino in Las Vegas. Mr Shackleford appeared to claim (with no proof) (redacted) has found an advantage that allows him to win at will from your casino.

    The details of which can be found at a forum Mr Shackleford is an employee of at Wizard of Vegas.com. The poster at question is perhaps (redacted). Who posts under the alias “MDawg”. But to be clear again, I have no proof of this and personally believe this is typical internet boasting. But as the claim appear to be a risk to shareholders such as myself, I feel it needs investigation.

    This individual listed above claims to be winning at will from your casino, which is defying the math I based my investment in your stock on. Which leads one to believe there is possible collusion between your staff and (redacted). As the same individual claims to be staying at your casino as an invited guest for weeks at a time, I would assume this would warrant an investigation into the potential value of this client.

    As stated before I have no clue of the validity of these claims. But as I realize your casino properties in Las Vegas have banned slot players who have been found to have played slot machines that were perhaps a positive situation regards of the affect over on overall return, I feel these claims deserve an investigation. Adding in claims of of winning 51 of 52 times while being treated as a valuable guest, the opportunity for collusion is obviously there based on math.

    While I hope this situation is nothing more than claims from the internet, I feel the involvement of Mr Shackleford deserves further investigation. I hope you agree and find there was no risk to shareholders here.

    I don't know if mdawg is for real or not (and I really don't care) but I think involving casino management is the wrong thing to do.

    I wouldn't consider a forum post to be a "copy of a letter".

    You should post a photo of the letter...that would be a copy.

    Did you send the letter via USPS, return receipt requested?

    Copies of the receipts would be interesting to see.

    It’s the age old question. Look at Dan’s other forum with the stuff they do, which is justified, to Christopher Mitchell At some point the means to an end makes sense.

    In my case as a shareholder the claims require an investigation. My personal belief is it is BS, but why risk it if a guy has a way to possible bankrupt a company. Being able to “read the cards” is superhero type shit and is a risk to all of us.

    Then again, only an idiot would publicly disclose it.

    I lost interest in this site when the bad guy went from Singer to Mdawg.
    It is official. Redietz will never be on Dan Druff's podcast. "too much integrity"

    Boz, your CREEPY obsession with Mdawg is VERY disturbing.

    Take comfort in the fact that no one is actually backing up his wishes to have you permanantly banned.


    Smart is knowing a Tomato is a fruit.

    Wise is knowing a Tomato doesn't belong in a fruit salad.



    I am glad to get my full posting rights back! Thank you Dan!

    I don't believe in the "means to and end" justification. There is a right thing to do and a wrong thing to do. I think I already established my opinion in that space.
    In terms of being a shareholder I think it's the job of an "owner" to make sure you have the correct management team in place, not to tell management how to manage. Again, just my humble opinion.

    I don't know what response MDawg could have expected other than this, and I think this is overall on the mild end of inevitable responses.

    I have never understood the fairy tale in people's minds regarding their online anonymity. And I have never understood the way people mouth off to other people online, as if there will never be real world consequences, like it's all some isolated video game cordoned off from your family and friends and public persona.

    Guess what? You're anonymous as long as nobody cares about your anonymity. As soon as you motivate somebody to care, it's just a matter of time. My late wife's brother-in-law was a private investigator. My nephew's major is Digital Forensics. If you think you can maintain anonymity versus somebody out to out you, you better be Lex fucking Luthor.

    Which leads to my second observation. Everybody thinks they can prattle on and say whatever they want and nobody is going to blow up your vehicle a week later.

    Online privacy and real-world bulletproof-ness are illusions, folks.

    Nope, just emails to the 5 casinos I am shareholders of that operate in Vegas. And to multiple departments in those casinos along with gaming. While I don’t believe the individual in question plays at 2 of them, it puts him on the radar. And I sent the email above to multiple departments, as I said, just trying to protect my investment.

    Is using the mail something that people still use? I’m sure my method will reach enough people to look into the claims of Michael Shackleford of a player taking advantage of a publicly traded company. But I’m open to being wrong. And this all was a fictional claim for reasons I can’t understand.

    Careful or Boz will call the internet police on you as you just threatened everyone.
    When you decide to do this to me, Redietz, please make it quick... thanks.

    A signature on a USPS delivery receipt shows that the correspondence was accepted
    by someone in the organization, either by the addressee or an employee whose duty
    presumably includes delivering it to the addressee.

    I'm not sure how the sender could substantiate that an addressee received an email.

    Will you show your emails with the headers, so that we can see where you sent this letter?

    I'm betting 6 to 5 that Dan Druff deletes this entire thread.
    No worries, I've lost bets before and will lose them again as I'm an actual member of this site, who bets daily, with cash.

    I decide to reply in one thread and it gets the boot. I'm lucky!

    I am fine with this action by Boz. I can't see why Dan would delete this, but if he does he does. Frankly, this kind of thing occurs more than people think or know. I had a guy threaten to send any information he had accumulated about me to casinos. I have no idea if threaten is all he did as opposed to actually doing so, or if others have done similar. If you participate on public forums, there are going to be people that don't like you and might decide to do whatever they can to harm you (no physical). In addition, some of these people get down right nasty, with the name calling and personal attacks. What do they expect?

    Anyone, and I include myself, that participates on these forums, opens themselves up to almost anything. When I moved several years ago, I had at least 2 people I know of look up real estate records and figure out where I moved. And both were AP's that I am mostly friendly with. Imagine the "unfriendlies" that did likewise. I don't have to image, I have had someone show up at my home. AND because of that, even with my online relationship with Mdawg, I sent him a PM last night warning him, after he posted about buying a property. Aren't many places that meet the description of what he described.

    Mdawg has only himself to blame for this, by his repeated lying, name calling, personal attacks. And why, because some people that know the math and know Las Vegas, don't believe his fantasyland claims and challenge them. If a persons only response is to start name calling and attacking, it pretty much confirms their claims are bullshit, but it also opens them up to this kind of thing from people that have come to despise them, not for their winning (if any) or claims, but for their nastiness and attacks.

    Dan Druff: "there's no question that MDawg has been an obnoxious braggart, and has rubbed a ton of people the wrong way. There's something missing from his stories. Either they're fabricated, grossly exaggerated, or largely incomplete".

    You live in the past Monet. Two people meeting face to face to settle differences is a criminal act now. It is assault almost regardless of how it plays out. And in this day and age with almost everyone owning and carrying guns, AND willing to use them over any little thing, these things turn into a lot more than assault.

    I honestly think this is exactly your problem in a nut shell. You have been unable to adapt to a changing world on so many levels. You live and have been left in the past. Things change, they always have. People that succeed, adapt. The others are left looking back and crying about "the good old days", often remembering them more fondly than they were in reality.
