I want to explain one more thing. There is a small but very vocal group of people, some on multiple forums or following me around on multiple forums, that challenge everything I say and try to discredit me. Here is who they are:
1), 1or 2 very low limit (red chip) blackjact players that have made little money and don't really understand what blackjack card counting advantage play is about.
2.) 2, I think, maybe 3, blackjack players that tried or had visions of playing for a living and failed and for one reason or another and blame me because they didn't succeed. Guy posting as sidthesquid on several forums and steve-something or other on another comes to mind. Maybe be 1 or 2 more
3.) Rob Singer, Blackhole and a 3rd guy who used to own this forum that I am not supposed to mention. These 3 have zero understanding about blackjack play in general, and card counting advantage play specifically, so they just say stupid stuff like card counting no longer works and no one can fool the pit and that kind of nonsense, when there are hundreds, maybe thousands of successful card counters even today at various levels of play.
4.) There is Mdawg. I could have lumped him in with Singer, blackhole, but his deal is he is pushing a story, a fantasy (for whatever reason) that just isn't and can't be true. So anyone, mostly AP's that challenges him and/or says they don't beleive, he goes off on. I am one of many that he lies about constantly. So this guy is a class by himself.
Now here is the point I set out to make. I have participated on 3 blackjack forums, Blackjackinfo, BJ21.com, and Blackjack the Forum where there are hundreds of legit, successful blackjack players at all different levels. I have also participated off and on at WoV, where there are a few successful blackjack AP's and even more non-blackjack AP's but they know blackjack and the math, maybe did some card counting early in their careers, and here at VCT, where there is only a couple blackjack AP's and they do hole-carding and other things, but they know card counting and other AP's that while they might not do much card counting these days, damn well know card counting, the math involved and how it works.
So all told, I have been on forums with probably 150+ blackjack AP's and AP's that know blackjack. And of those 150+, up until a couple months ago, not a single player has challenged a single thing I say about how I play, or any of my claims. That one in recent months is of course BoSox, and anyone with half a brain knows that he too supported me for years, and now has some bug up his ass about something....probably totally unrelated to blackjack.
Yes there are some legit successful AP's, that think I am an idiot for posting on these forums and posting too much info, some I consider friends. And there is one particular very succesful blackjack (among other things) AP that thinks I am an idiot for not advancing past blackjack card counting and busts on me occasionally for that. But there is only that one real blackjack player, Bosox that is challening anything I say.
THAT should tell you something right there. Players that play the game at an advantage and know and understand, no one except Bosox challenges anything I say, and he has some other issue. So NO, I really don't care what a few trolls and haters think. I KNOW what my real peers think and that is all that matters.
