It is official. Redietz will never be on Dan Druff's podcast. "too much integrity"
Ok, here is the way it works MisterV. Backoffs and barrings are no big deal if it involves only the casino involved. You just stay away from that casino for a few months until things cool off and the incident forgotten. And if it happens to be an out of town property, even better. No real consequences at all. Next time you hit that place, you are probably good, assuming you don't rush back.
The BIG danger is the databases, like OSN, BioM, and a couple others. Griffin is still alive in parts of the country but doesn't have too much of a presence in Vegas. So if you have an incident at a property whether in your home rotation (Vegas for me) or out of town and it is a property that contributes to one or more of the databases, that incident and entry in the database follows you everywhere. That is why it is important for a player like me to know which casinos contribute regularly, like Cosmo, Aria, Palace station to name a couple big contributors and which don't contribute and not play or play lightly those that do. Of course knowing which casinos do or don't is more difficult when you are out of town and not as familiar.
So if a player where to get an entry into a database, that almost always includes a picture and usually several. So let's say someone gets backed off somewhere and gets a new entry into one of the databases. That entry and picture is right there front and center on page 1 for all to see, until newer entries are added and you eventually get bumped back. It is those first couple weeks that are the problem. Better just to take a break until your entry is no longer "fresh". The database is digital of course, but most pit people only look at the first page of newer, "fresher" entries. Once you are off that front page you are good to go.
So I am in the waiting period, just waiting for other fellow card counters and AP's to get busted and get entries, so I am old news.
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".
OK, got it, thanks for the explanation...but I have a question.
Let's say you are playing BJ in a casino that subscribes to OSN or some such service, and you for whatever reason are on their radar.
Playing without a card they don't know your name, so all they'd have to go on is a pic of your face taken from their Eye in the sky.
Question: Can they check your pic against those in a database (e.g., OSN's) and via facial recognition software find out that you were backed off elsewhere?
If so, that would be a chilling, powerful tool in the cat and mouse casino game.
What, Me Worry?
First, there are better picture opportunities than the eye in the sky at the table. Cashier's cage for example is often where a real good head shot is taken. Some places even make you pull down your mask while cashing out chips.
I don't know all the capabilities of all the facial recognition and other technology. Initially facial recognition wasn't that good. Missed players and claimed a match to players that very obviously weren't. In the last couple year, I hear facial recognition has improved as you would expect. But then you get into most casinos don't have that top technology and some of those that do are only as good as the technician operating the technology.
That is why I don't heavily play the bigger strip casinos that have the latest technology and better technicians. And when I do, it is during busier times, so as to blend in and hopefully there are bigger fish for them to worry about.

WoV has MDawg; VCT has kew....
Ok, an update to the Mdawg situation. I had a little Halloween gathering of some friends over the weekend. One friend came with a gift in the form of some documentation from Cosmo about a certain M-pooch. Seems it wasn't necessary to wait for the sale to go through. All that was necessary was a phone call between friends of each other in the industry.
As many of us thought, it seems Mpooch hasn't been honest about posting his results over the last 7 months. He has had some winning days that match or are very close to some wins reported. He also has had many losing days, some of pretty significant amounts that seem to have been left out of his reporting. All told, he is down $118k at that property, not about even as he stated last week. It seems like he has received some pretty good comps for the amount he is down.
Now this was ONLY at the one property mentioned. Included in Mpooch's adventure is play at a second property in Las Vegas. It was suggested that that information could be had with a couple phone calls as well. I said "please don't. This is more than enough for me".
Now I know coach belly and maybe a few others will be calling for me to post said documents. I am not going to do so. I have no interest in placing anyone in jeopardy. Anyone finding my comments above less credible because of that...so be it. I am fine with that. I am just reporting what I now know.
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".
Now I do want to move into the blackjack area of Mdawgs claims, which has been most or all of his play in the last month or so. When he posts these daily reports or claims, he always mentions a spread. $100-$20,000 or $200-$25,000 have been some of the bigger ones of late. What he has never answered is just what that means? And I have asked multiple times. To most of us that play blackjack at an advantage, the spread is the difference in amounts placed when the player is not playing at an advantage, either a neutral or slightly -EV situation and the much higher amount when the player is playing at an advantage or +EV situation.
NO casino is going to let him spread these amounts spreading to advantage. So I suspect his reference to "spread" is talking about the low end of his progression betting vs the high end of his progression wagering. Of course this is NOT a winning system. Progression wagering simply can not over come negative expectation play. Period!
So some interesting comments today from Mpooch about a "really high level person at the casino came up while I was playing and shook hands with me saying how much they appreciated my patronage."
That tells me and should tell anyone else that he is NOT playing with any kind of advantage. They are well aware what he is doing (progression wagering) and are fine with it because it is not a winning strategy or play despite his recent reports. So yeah, of course they welcome and appreciate his high end -EV play.
I am not going to search for real results of his blackjack play, or ask any friends to look for anything. There is no need. This story is OVER except for those that either want to believe in the fantasy....the Easter Bunny conquering Vegas, or for those trolling. And I am not interested in dealing with either group any longer.

Dude just send a pm to redeitz next time. No one else gives a fuck
I will address this also, Ozzy. Yes, Mdawg using a new member sockpuppet, posted my name and address last week on another forum. I am not denying, nor confirming that information accurate. There are some AP's that know where I lived. I don't think that info, accurate or not, being posted briefly is going to effect anything despite what M-pooch was hoping.
Now I know some will say turnabout is fair play as I posted some identifying info on this Mdawg person a couple weeks ago. It is not the same thing! I posted a first name that hinted as to his identity. And he is a non-AP, player, a losing degenerate gambler, that plays rated, and wants the casinos to know who he is. The only reason he is not posting under his real name is because then everyone would be able to look into his claims. And I never posted anything like an address or other info that I have. Compare that to posting the name and address of an advantage player. No comparison. Shitty thing to do by a jealous person, a person jealous of players that actually win and make a living. All the family money in the world that he was born into can't make him a winning player.

Mcap, I don't know that this story is even about Mdawg anymore. I think the Mdawg fraud has been proven and it falls in line what most have thought for quite a while now.
This bigger story right now is the guy that has self-anointed himself "wizard". He has allowed, and protected these claims that he had to know where BS, because they defy math and Las Vegas and Shackleford know about both. And given the chance to come clean and do the right thing numerous times, each time this Shackleford doubles down against the math, the way Las Vegas works and reality in the name of god knows what...a little "payoff"?
Last week, it appears to me, that Shackleford maybe orchestrated, at the very least participated in yet another cover-up, attempting to sweep the finally admission of lying under the rug. At the end of a post about meeting up with Shackleford, buried beneath the Wizard pictures, was the statement by Mdawg "Additionally we went over my Baccarat wins and losses this trip and I’d say that I might be about even, or slightly up or down at Bacc". Complete attempt to bury and minimize that the claims of the last 7 months that he was not only allowed to make, but protected from anyone that challenged.
When that didn't go unnoticed as hoped, and several people spoke up, Shackleford then came out and praised Mdawg for his honesty. Really!!! The guy lied on YOUR forum for 7 months, and when finally caught admitted he had lied and all you can say is the "confession about his baccarat play over the entirety of his trip I found to be very honest and commendable".
Give me a fucking break!!!
And now of course, this M-pooch just continues on as if nothing happened, with the continued blessing and protection of the so called "Wizard".
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".
Actually I think that part is over as well. Either he is an idiot and signed a ND agreement for next to nothing, or he has been paid a lot more to be a shill for the guy. Flip a coin, either way MDawg owns him in regards to the entire MD fantasy.
It doesn’t really matter, anyone that originally found his opinion credible has long realized the truth in regards to this situation.
Now if you could irrefutably prove MD was the one behind doxxing you last week, you would have something to put the Wizard on the spot.
I don't know how the guy doesn't get tired of bouncing from suite to suite in Vegas. Dude is a degen's degens I guess. If he has executives coming up to thank him then he is definitely not playing with an advantage.... RIP
FraudJ's word is worth less than the prop cash in Singer's safe...RIP
The great thing about reporting a 118K loss as "losing a little, breaking even, or winning a little," is that you can get away with it by saying after the fact that, hell, 118K is so trivial that it falls into that "breakeven" gray area if you're as wealthy as I am.
The problem is that MDawg was so picayune in his reports that the "hell, what's 118K?" attitude doesn't really fly.
Obviously, the Dawg was probably reporting his winning sessions fairly closely and just skipping the ones where he lost. Like a six-year-old telling his mom he lost his report card but got an A in gym.
What's disturbing, of course, is that an expert on minute mathematical advantages in games allows -118K to pass muster as "winning a little, losing a little, or breaking even." That undermines his credibility as an expert on advantage math like the Centralia mine fire. (Boz, I thought you might appreciate a little anthracite metaphor there)
Thanks for reporting, kewlJ. Puts the MDawg in clear perspective.
I suspect the 118 k loss is better than expectation (less loss than expected) for his play and action, IF he is being anywhere close to true about what action he gives. probably due to loss rebates, or free play chips or whatever other concessions a higher end player gets. I really wish he would have posted more honestly about that as it is something I and others that aren't familiar with that level of play (and comps) would be interested in.
At any rate, it has been apparent that he is most interested in the comps (and that is because he is not really winning like he claims). So he is trying to manipulate the comps to his advantage. That is why he questions what his average bet is and tries to manipulate pit or host to recording a higher average. And that is ok. Maybe he is doing a good job at playing the comp game, I don't know. But what I do know is all the winning was complete BS and he shouldn't have been allowed to claim that on a math based gambling forum.

About People thinking that "Mdawg is the Golden Boy of WOV, keep in mind that Mdawg was actually treated like trash by WOV Admins. A Poster insulted Mdawg, Mdawg lightly stood up for himself, and Mdawg got a Suspension, and not the Poster who insulted him. Mdawg was also thrown out like yesterday's trash when some IDIOT pretended to be him and WOV Posters actually rallied for his unbanning and pointed out they didn't think that Mdawg was this IDIOT Impersonating him.
They also pointed out that Mdawg was actually driving to another State at the time the IDIOT Impersonated him. I think what REALLY got to the Admins was the question, something like,"So, does this mean someone can impersonate Axelwolf and get you guys to blindly ban Axelwolf?" The investigation happened VERY soon after that question was asked . The Admins Reinstated him when they found out some random IDIOT had been impostering him on random Websites. The IDIOT was banned and Mdawg's Ban was reversed. So keep that in mind that Mdawg was actually thrown out like yesterday's trash over an Impersonator and Suspended when he made a slight comeback to someone who insulted him. So, Mdawg is REALLY not WOV's Golden Child.

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!
