Have you listened in on phone calls? Read emails back and forth? Talked to me privately about it? Corresponded with Munch or Dancer about it?
No?
Then how in God's name can you make the statements you just made?
God I am so tired of this shit. Every day, same shit, different chapter. Different member.
Redietz, I don't give a fuck if you go on GWAE or not.
The facts are that you have made statements about expected value (EV) that differ from the way I and most advantage players think about EV. I initially thought that might have been a terminology issue, because of differences in traditional advantage play and sports betting. But Mickey crimm has dug up and posted quite a few other sports betters that also seem to contradict your statements and way of thinking.
I still think it may very well be sort of a terminology type issue. And I would have liked to hear you explain what you mean, so everyone understood. GWAE seemed like the perfect spot. Mickey set it up as much as he could. When you seemed to drag your feet, he said there was nothing more he could do and gave you the contact info. And now what are we a month or two later and nothing. What the fuck negotiation is there? You don't have to be in LV to do the interview. Most of the interviews are done over the phone, or skype or something (not in person). With the announcement that GWAE is winding down, it seems like you are dragging your feet.
Now again, I don't care. If you don't want to do the show, then don't do the show. I first declined GWAE almost a decade ago, seeing no benefit to that kind of platform. If you think it is not for you, then don't do it. But don't give us this BS about negotiations and shit. If you wanted it to have happened and wanted to take that opportunity to explain yourself, you would have by now. It is another case of someone pissing on us and telling us it is raining.
I will conclude by saying this. I have challenged several different people / players over the years. Singer, Mdog, the late Moses. Each of these people responded by attacking (usually very personal and not related to anything) rather than explain any misunderstanding. I am seeing some of that from you. Attacking APs in general and specifically. I am not saying you are full of shit, like Singer or Mdawg, but I would much rather see a level-headed response, maybe explaining some differences in thinking or terminology. Honestly that is the way, I have always tried to handle people questing me. It gets harder when you feel like people are ganging up with dishonest intent, which is why I have defended you against that.
Anyway, nothing more I can do. Nothing more mickey or axelwolf or anyone can do. If you want to explain yourself, do so. If you don't, that is fine too. Run around offering to sign a book that has nothing to do with gambling or sports betting and no one seems that interested in except you.
