Thread: The Unofficial Alan is a Fucktard thread

    I thought I would help Alan out with his advertising by posting a link here.

    Thanks Mick, unfortunately Alan won’t admit which tax relief firm he is working for. Or if he is now pitching Rush or Leading. It appears he has taken cash from both of them in the past.

    So which one are you shilling for now Alan? Are both owned by the same group? Is one different from the other?

    Come on Alan Mendelson, you are now promoting one on GAMBLING forums. So which one is better than the other?

    Please help the people who are trusting your recommendation find the best one to help them with their tax problem.

    Which one is it Alan?

    The Domains by Proxy thing on the website registration should be ignored. That has nothing to do with the company Alan is shilling. It's a service which hides domain ownership details.

    Regarding the tax relief company he's pushing, it does seem to be a referral site. I agree that there are many shady tax relief companies out there, and Alan should want to know where people are being referred.

    It does not appear Alan is an affiliate, as there is no affiliate code on his links. However, he still might be, because the link he posts goes to an article he wrote on their site.

    My guess is that he was paid a flat fee to promote them.

    This isn't China. There's no pressing need, outside of paranoia or culture-induced fear, to worry about putting your actual name with your words. This country got along fine with things called white pages and phone books, featuring everyone's names and addresses. Fifty years ago, anonymous communication was the province of scaredy cats and damaged minds. Things have not improved via anonymity.

    This culture of anyone can say anything anonymously online with no regard for "they know where you live" contributes to the juvenification of Americans. Mommy, daddy, and anonymity allow you to spew whatever comes to mind, regardless of truth value or consequences. Civility goes out the window. Responsibility for your words goes out the window.

    There's a reason people put their actual names on academic papers, on military reports, on police reports, on engineering analyses. People have to take responsibility for their reporting, for their opinions, for their expertise (real or not). Nobody built a bridge based on an anonymous engineer's reportage.

    In my opinion, in the grand scheme of things, the necessity of anonymity for APs counts for very little against the enormous lack of responsibility and accountability anonymity provides and the detrimental effects anonymity has had on the culture in general. This is where Alan and I see eye to eye.
    Offucking course you do, because it benefits you(and Alan). It's actually abnormal for someone to use their real name on a forum. As someone pointed out already, your real name has value, AND that's exactly why you guys have chosen to use it... because the benefits to you outweigh the risks. It's about all self-promotion.

    There are some vindictive crazy nutjobs out there, there are people looking to harass and stalk people. There are people looking to rob people who might have money. I think KJ has been a victim of all 3 and he doesn't even use his real name, I can only just imagine if he did.

    I choose not to use my real name online since it's fairly unique and I'm an advantage player. I have gone out of my way to make myself seem like a ploppy at locations that haven't been figured out I'm an advantage player, there are also new casinos popping up all the time, and many casinos I haven't yet been to. The last thing advantage players need is for the casinos to do a simple google search and make it official where one is admitting to it. Advantage players oftentimes play together at casinos for example a table game where they would rather the pit know as little about them as possible. I would much rather just engrain their forum name in my head or I'll fuck up and use their real name at some point or people at a gathering where they don't want their real name used.

    Also, I frequently play online, oftentimes the terms and conditions have rules against advantage play.

    So don't go getting up on your high horse because you oddly and selfishly use your real name online.

    Wait a minute, that's not even your real name.

    Self-promotion? You've gotta be kidding. Being online, using my real name, has zero value to me. It's all risk, no reward.

    Debunking the Singers and MDawgs of the world has zero benefit to me. It's a responsibility. Putting my name out there has absolutely no financial benefit to me. It has some marginal reputational benefit -- maybe -- but I mean, if people like you and Shackleford think parlay calculators are a useful thing, really, does anyone on these forums know what they're talking about vis-a-vis sports betting?

    The only people I've met on forums in 30 years who have a handle on sports betting are Boz, regnis, and the academic blackjack player kewlJ knows who posted under an Asian pseudonym here and has a better collection of McCusker Reports than I do. That's it. Three people. And that includes the LVA sports forum, the Wizard's place, any forum I can think of. Just a wasteland, really. People pretending to know what they're doing.

    Nothing is gained, nothing, by using my real name. The only reason I came out of the handicapping closet on this forum was because Singer was on some high horse, giving terrible sports gambling advice as if he knew what he was talking about.

    There isn't an online world and a separate real world. It's all the real world.

    Personally, my theory is that I suspect this juvenile AKA stuff originated with online porn being the biggest use of bandwidth. People became uncomfortable being themselves and accessing porn, which is the dominant use of the internet, so they went AKA. Like truckers on CB radios, only instead of avoiding cops tracking their speed, they avoided family tracking their porn.

    Children wearing masks.

    In actuality, I have not picked up one client, one partner, and damned few pats on the back from being on any of these forums and using my real name, and that's the way I like it. To be clear, when I link my blog, that blog is not monetized in any way. I pay to maintain that blog. People reading it doesn't put a cent in my pocket; it costs me.

    First off, I don't take issue with long-time members wanting to promote themselves or their business, as long as they are upfront with it. Sly tactics, like pretending to ask a question just to call attention to something you are promoting is annoying. People need to quit trying to pretend they are not promoting something. Obviously, I'll say something if I think it's a scam. Heck, I don't care if you promote something iffy, just give me the disclaimer.

    Of course, parlay calculators have a significant benefit to guys betting on sports, there are promotions all day long where parlaying is the main Advantage to be had. Guys are getting a consistent 6%+ edge via parlays and soft lines. You look foolish taking some high horse stance regarding the value of parlays as if there's only one way(your way) to gain an advantage betting sports. FYI I don't think Mike has ever claimed to know what he's doing when it comes to sports he attempts to take advantage of situations he believes have a mathematical advantage, oftentimes he refers to others when it comes to sports betting theory.

    It's highly unlikely anyone was taking Rob's betting advice, so it seems as if he was able to ruffle your feathers enough to out yourself, Rob doing what he does best. +1 Singer. We have certainly been hearing you tout yourself and just how great of a college sports bettor you are, ever since. If you actually went back and noticed what we all have, I think you might actually be embarrassed.

    Don't give me this BS about not monetizing your blog it's still self-promotion that benefits you either monetarily in a roundabout way, or emotionally. Has any of your "clients" been to your blog?

    Of course, you're not picking up clients off of gambling forums where there are some smart cookies. I would assume you would want your clients as far removed from the gambling forums as possible. It's not worth the risk of picking up some small-time slub that might go rogue and start talking, especially if you had/have some well-organized big boy catcher and word of mouth, fucking around picking up clients off the forums would be risky. A few whales it much better than tons of guppies, less shit can go wrong.


    "It's a responsibility" <<My ASS... That's not the main reason you/we do it, it's just fun, it's personal ego boot, an adrenaline/endorphin rush putting someone in their place, having a gotcha moment, winning arguments, and yapping about something you believe yourself to have superior knowledge in(I.E. your blog). Helping others learn a little something (barely anyone is reading this fucking forum) is just a small side benefit.

    OFC It's all the real world, but many people compartmentalize parts of their life in the real world, just as they might do online.

    I didn't realize Boz was a good sports bettor, I'm a little hurt he hasn't shared any good betting advice with me. I'm always open/looking for solid logical betting advice.

    People use pseudonyms all over. Nicknames. On the internet way before porn, people were using "handles". Your takes are so bad redietz. The fact that this isn't China is EXACTLY why we should be able to do it. THere are far too many creepy men. Women shouldn't need to give out all their info. Being anonymous means you can't be bulled in real life. The problem is that you've come to an anonymous forum. If you want a forum with real names then you should start one and see where that goes. lol

    Whats that blog cost? You act like it is some sacrifice. This whole thing is ridiculous. Probably not even $5 a month. OOOhh you selfless martyr you.

    You might be the world's greatest baseball handicapper or whatever it is you do, but there are so many other ways to bet sports which you seem fairly clueless about.

    The difference between most of the people on here and yourself is that you simply crave recognition and no one else on here gives a single fuck. THIS IS WHY YOU DON'T WANT PEOPLE ANONYMOUS.

    I seem to recall ripping into you because I was a "winning sports bettor" which you claimed to be near impossible. I explained how I did it in my brief foray into sports betting a couple years ago. Averaged 3%ish a game over 1000 bets. You know how I did it? By exploiting their parlays. I know incredibly little about sports. Could only name a handful of teams etc. This is why we're APs.

    Anyway, just wanted my morning flame post out of the way. Ooooooh the feeling of being anonymous. <flexes> So great.

    PS who uses some sort of login to access porn? bad takes abounding.
    It is official. Redietz will never be on Dan Druff's podcast. "too much integrity"

    You don't seem like the kind of guy that needs a parlay calculator but perhaps you can see some value in one?

    There are tons of little calculators all over the internet. I used one last time I was in Vegas to calculate my expected loss and ROR with the rest of my marker. Parlay calculators absolutely no different.


    I can't even understand how a sharp bettor could see no valid use-cases for a parlay calculator. Only if your knowledge of overall sports-betting is that shallow. Redietz is likely an expert in his domain.. but sheesh. I like the guy, sorta feel like I'm picking on him, but then I recall how he can be so condescending at times. I mean, I guess people'd say same thing about me but <shrug>

    A back off is different from a tresspass.

    Be specific.

    I've been backed off from craps at several casinos.“

    Typical Alan bullshit trying to make anyone who doesn’t know him think he is some expert craps player who has some ability to make casinos ban him.

    Those in the know understand it is the exact opposite, casinos celebrate when he walks in the door to give them whatever shekels he rounded up for the day.

  11. #51
    Players can be backed off and banned for other reasons besides advantage play, like being too drunk, bothering other players, ect. Perhaps Alan was offering marriage to all the women, trying to marry them right there at the craps table.

    More likely though, he was trying to do that DI bullcrap. While it doesn't work, except for maybe a very, very few real expert type players that have hand skills of a magician, it still is against the rules of most casinos. I can see Alan, still trying to pursue this even those there is zero (18 y.o.'s in a row) chance it will work for him. He is rather pig-headed this Alan.

    Alan has long had an interest in dice setting aka dice influencing; could be he got in trouble for trying over and over to throw a "dead cat bounce."

    That is where the dice are lightly tossed, stay symmetrical in flight and ht the table softly, about an inch or so from the bottom of the wall.

    You want to throw softly, and if he throws too softly the roll is not allowed.

    I can envision him repeatedly not hitting the wall, being admonished for not doing so, then not hitting it again, resulting in a "You're done here."

    Then again he could be making it all up, dunno.
    What, Me Worry?

  13. #53
    Has anyone ever been backed off from craps for panhandling at the craps table? No reason I’m particular I’m asking in this thread.

    That was my first thought tbh.

  15. #55
    Or maybe just anger issues coming to the top after the last of recent monies having been blown. Perhaps someone threw the dice across the casino?

    Gentlemen, gentlemen.

    Alan created this forum: should we not show him some respect?

    Or did that bus leave long ago?

    So many damned questions, so few clear answers.

    Degenerate gamblers are funny people. Although they will never admit that they are big losing players financially (always "about even"), they clearly know they are and their bank accounts remind them. Since these folks enjoy gambling and the whole casino experience so much, I am always amazed that so few attempt to incorporate at least some advantage play techniques into their gambling experience, if nothing else to minimize the losing just somewhat.

    Most degen gamblers don't have the access Alan has had to real advantage players because of his longtime participation on gambling forums. It is just a completely different mindset. You hear these people justify by saying "advantage play takes the fun out of gambling" How is it "fun to lose your money and see your wealth decline? No wonder these people end up so bitter and full of regret.

    Now don't get me wrong, as anyone who has ever attempted to bring someone over from the degen side, it is nearly impossible. It may actually be fully impossible to do so because of that mindset. It is hard to change that thinking. My former partner was of that degen mindset. He was a losing VP, -EV player for most of his life. When he followed me to LV, I like to think I "turned him". (no gay comments seedvalue). I knew it wasn't 100% as I always knew the return from him playing our VP machine play was not quite what it should be, but he did pretty good. I think I did pretty good. He made money his time with me as opposed to losing money for 20 years before that. That is all you can hope for.

    You know misterV, I don't think many here really dislike Alan. I know I don't. I actually like the guy from what I know of him. And I feel bad for him that he is in the position he is now in, having blown all or most of his hard earned (<- ) money. You know...that hard earned money, interviewing Presidents and Queens and later hawking products for a price.

    But he makes it so easy to pick on him, with all his stupid comments and suggestions. It more than "almost" seems like he invites or wants this kind of attention, so in a sense aren't we all just helping him out.

    I have no doubt Alan conducted himself property at the craps tables.

    During the DI craze, especially after the breaking Vegas episode, some of the casinos tossed out anyone attempting DI who appeared to have an influenced shot(It's not something you can hide). Nowadays, most casinos don't care as long as you're not significantly slowing down the table or consistently missing contact with the back wall.

    DI had a great number of smart guys fooled. It seems logical that it could be possible with practice. Just imagine you're someone who makes an investment of lots of time and money, perhaps you even paid for classes. You get an elaborate tossing rig or craps table tracking software dice chips etc. You start practicing until you have a good-looking shot. Now you start tracking your SSR/SRS numbers... low and behold, it seems as if you've struck gold and it's working. But here's the thing... at some point, just about everyone sooner or later will have a good SSR due to good old-fashioned variance. It's hard for someone to not equate that with practice and skill. When you're losing/bad SSRs there are all kinds of reasonable excuses... it's just variance, more practice is needed, you were having an off day, the dice are biased, the table conditions have changed, etc. When you're winning... it must be your personal skill.

    I have no idea exactly how many tosses it would take to have 99% confidence it has to be skill, but it has to be a fuck-ton.
