He’s a clown and it appears only Mike gives him the attention he craves, let him die here like has happened elsewhere. It’s the worst thing anyone can do to him, ignore him and his Ego.
There is some truth to the notion that you shouldn't feed the trolls Boz. But unfortunately if you ignore them, they don't go away. They are free to continue their fantasy bullshit without any pushback from legit players that know better. Whether it is someone like Singer with his progression video poker claims, or this Mdawg with his miraculous win every session baccarat claims (and now blackjack claims), or even a guy claiming to have played high stakes blackjack in Reno for years, players should push back and say
"that is not the way the math works" or if the math is correct,
"that is not the way casinos work" or
"you can't play those stakes in that location", or
"you can't spread like that on double deck in Las Vegas", and
"there are no double deck games @ 83% penetration on the strip".
This push back is important, because without it, only one side of the story is being told, the fantasy, make believe side. At least if a few known credible successful players push back, it serves as a kind of warning. Then if players decide to believe these bullshit claims and try to emulate, at least they have been warned.
That is all I want to do....have some policing, some push back on record saying,
"these claims are bullshit". Ideally, it would be best to have that pushback at the same forum, but Wizard has taken a position making that impossible, where he provides the platform for these bullshit claims and further protects the troll making them by thwarting that very pushback from legit, respected players and punishing the legit players instead of the troll making misleading claims that often defy the very math Wizard is supposed to be about. I just can't take that among many things on that forum, so I don't participate there by my choosing. But I can and will still make my voice heard here, because there is enough crossover that I believe it does some good.
